NOTHING IS ACCIDENTAL.
Nothing "just h appens."
There's a REASON FOR every
thing and a RESULT FROM
everything.
Every happening has roots
which go back to the beginning
of your life-and which will
bear harvest until the end of
your life.
You are making history every

The things you DON'T do are
as powerful in shaping destiny
as the things you DO do.
A second of INACTION packs
as much wallop as a second OF
ACTION.
The thing you don't say
weighs as heavily for good or
evil as the thing you do say.
A THOUGHT is as far reach

You cry never dreamed it

But you could have, should
have, dreamed it would happen.
CONSEQUENCES ARE AS
INEVITABLE AS SUMS IN

Laziness plus indifference,
Stiffness plus selfishness, SNUG
ness plus sentimentality add up
to certain definite results as
surely as five plus three equals
eight.
And the fellow who makes
that result is responsible.
If you fall asleep with a
lighted cigarette sagging from
your lips the bed will catch fire
and the room will burn down.
You don't think of yourself
as criminal.
You think of yourself as a
careless but blameless person

blunder.

It is a primitive instinct, like
mother-love, and not all the
New Morality can change it.
There are very fine points
of loyalty, which some modern
lovers and husbands and wives
do not seem to understand. I
sometimes wonder if these

their kisses so lightly and care
lessly, realize that they are
guilty of disloyalty to the men
they intend some day to marry.
For every normal girl INTENDS
to marry, SOME day.
I wonder if she realizes that
with every casual kissing &C.

man the "horse-laugh" on the
man who will some day be her
life-mate-and possibly her
meal ticket.
And those married men who
indulge in little summer flirta-

Human Side of the News = By Edwin C. Hill

deep human significance, which,
perhaps, there is.
Certainly there is profound
life significance. Birds and an
imals dance. There seems to be
no doubt. Just today I have a
news story from Midway Island
Uncle Sans cable station in the
mid-Pacific. 1t tells about the
matronly white Gony bird, or
northern Albatross.
"A peculiar characteristic Of
these BIRDS" says the dispatch,
sis their dance. It is much like
an old-fashioned square dance
without the foot motion, and it
lasts for several minutes.
1.-The birds face one another
in pairs or groups, bow several
times, then, rising on their toes,
stretch their appraised heads to
heaven and bow again. In the
second figure, after bowling,
they place their heads under
their raised wings, and stretch
ing their necks laterally, touch
beakS.
The four primary stances are
varied in the succeeding figures,
the movements being performed
in unison, in succession, or at
times, apparently as the Whlm
of the individual Dictates
There is plenty of scientific
backing for such tales as that.
w. H. Hudson, the great Brit
ish naturalist and essayist, the
author of Green Mansions"
describes in detail the dance OF
the lapwings and the scissor
tails.
RHYTHMIC GROUPS
Our scientists report the
elaborate dances of oStriches,
pheasants, penguins, plover
and stills and there have been
authentic scientific records Of
rhythmic group movements of
fishes and insects.
Only to a limited degree do
these bird dances have to do
with courtship and mating and
similarly, primitive human
dancing is apt to be religious
or occupational.
Primitive occupations are drac
matized in the dance, with a
presultor setting the pace.
That was easy in an age of
agriculture and fishing. 1t
would be much harder to stage
the subway ticket-choppers, or
Mr.. Ford's bolt-tighteners.
At that, Normal Bel Geddes
or Ali Ben Haggin might do
something exciting with a con-
veyor system, and supplement
tary human rhythms.
My scientists friends explain
to me that the life stream
isn't in locks, like the Panama
Canal. It flows and we never
know where this ends and that
begins; we and the white Gony
bird have more in common
than we might suspect.

Piling Up Difficulties
Cutting School EST Inmates

Regardless of how the Bureau of the Budget may
treat the estimates for public schools in the District
budget for the fiscal year 1886, it is discomforting
fact that the local school system is undergoing period
of distress which eventually will have disasters effect
upon the community.
With school population which is constantly growing
the city is not developing its school buildings at proper
pace.
Instead of having enough school buildings built and
building to take of the natural increase in enroll
ment we are falling farther and farther behind each
year.
The National Capital is still using school buildings
that were recommended for abandonment more than
twenty years ago.
It is still sending children to school houses that
improperly heated, poorly ventilated and which have
questionable sanitation facilities.
It is fine to talk about saving the taxpayers money
by economy in the budget.
It is probably essential that every penny that can be
saved with wisdom be cut from the estimates originally
submitted.
But the city take no pride in budget which de-
beratey curta school facilities below the safety point
and which threatens within few years to disrupt the
entire progress of the school system.
When the District Commissioners held their recent
open hearings the estimates of department heads it
encouraging TO LndG even CuOSe WIZ WeIe
vigorous in demanding economy in order to prevent tax
increase were willing that the schools should be provided
for adequately.
Despite these expressed wishes of the citizens how
ever the Commissioners felt called upon to cut the es
Inmates prepared by the Board of Education.
They cut most severely into the estimates for build
ings and grounds and the purchase of land.
This procedure simply png up difficulties for the
school SYSTEM difficulties which will have to be faced
sooner or later.
The Board of Education, seeking to establish building
program for the future asked the Commissioners to ap
prove estimates of five hundred thousand dollars for
purchase of land This cut to seventyve thousand
dollars
Obviously even if this figure approved by the Bureau
of the Budget and subsequently by the Congress it will
be impossible do anything effective in the fiscal year
1886 along the line of purchasing land for future con-
struction of school buildings.
The least that the Bureau of the Budget do to
approve the school estimates contained in the figures
submitted by the Commissioners.
They represent less than the minimum that is needed
to make satisfactory provision for school system that
started out to be model for the nation but which Is

Serious, able, and an eX-

Appointed then by a Repub-

to oppose the recommendations

not hold with them.

puts dancing in its curriculum.
The State of New York, in its
free adult education program,
maintains classes and gives in
struction in tap dancing, ballet
dancing, ballroom and a. few
other branches of the art.
Exclusive prep schools and
finishing schools are featuring
dancing. The National Associa-
ton of Dancing Masters re-
ports things on the up and up.
Famous stage dancers get
more attention in the papers,
and the first school Of dance
criticism in America is form
ing.
It's all quite unlike the mad
mania for hoofing and spool
ing which started down in New
Orleans and out in San Fran
cisco 20 years ago. The Bunny
Hug" the "Texas Tommy"
"Walkin' the Dog" are just a
dustpan full of confetti after
the party. Dancers are back
to the waltz and the onestep.
At Washington, while still
free of any alphabetical tag,
the old cotillion is going strong,
more stately and decorous than
ever.
The mad eccentricities of
those late st. Vitus years be-
longed to an era of rugged in
dividualism-an era Of high
kicking and low thinking per-
haps, but how we did enjoy it!
And now, here we are in the
day of high thinking and low
kicking.
ACCURATE GAUGE
NV friend, the scientist, who
delves into such matters, tells
me the dance has always been
an accurate gauge Of the public
drift and politicians ought to
watch it.
The idea has a pretty long
wheel base for this corner, but
paraphrased briefly, it is that
in an era of teamwork and
team play, you'll find the indi-
vidual dancer shading his foot
work, pulling his kicks, and
getting in nicely on group
dancing.
In the southeastern Euro
pean countries of the Green
International" the cooperative
movement had its highest de-
velopment, and with it, group
dances and ballets all but
unprecedented in perfection OF
movement and rhythm.
My friend quoted M. Larous,
a French psychologist, return
ing to France after a tour OF
America in 1914, and writing
the following:
"The eccentric dances of
America are q reflex of cul-
tural and economic instability.
They indicate an almost pathO-

might just as easily involve the
