The French and English criticise
America again and again because they
are lacking in two qualities which to
our sister nations across the Atlantic
seem indispensable. The English con
denim US for taking no recreation; the
French condemn US because we lack
grace. The sad part of it is that
there is more than a grain Of truth
in each of the criticisms.
We think we take recreation but
we don't. We read magazines, play
golf and go to the movies, but we
overlook one type of recreation which
is ideal for both sexes, for old and
young, which is really an art which
makes us graceful, dancing.
And yet dancing is not just pass
ing pleasure and nothing more. Dane
ing is an art. To become accomplish
ed in it requires training and disci-
pline. Anything which requires disci
pline is fine training for life. After
all, life is an art and those who are

HAUPTMANN WILL
 MAKE LAST PLEA

Trenton, N. J., Dec. 21-(UP)-- Bruno Richard Hauptmann prob ably will send his last plea to the court of pardons on Christmas eve, his attorneys and wife indicated to- day.
 He talked yesterday with his wife and c. Lloyd Fisher, lawyer, about the answers he will give to 34 questions asked on a form of appeal supplied by the court of nine men that will decide whether he must die the week of Jan. 12 for murder of Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. He promised to have the task done Monday, ready for transmits sion to the mercy court Tuesday evening after approval by his coun- Sel. !"
 Hauptmann will spend Christmas alone in his cell in the death house, forbidden visitors. Mark O. Kim berlin, principal keeper, said ne would have. the regular prison hol- iday dinner-soup, roast pork, mashed potatoes, mince pie and coffee. Prison regulations forbid visitors on any holiday and death house prisoners are permitted only food prepared in the prison kitchen.
 The only touch of Christmas in the gloomy death house will be a few wreaths of greenery and per- haps carols on the radio.
 Mrs. Hauptmann said, after visit ing her husband an hour that he feels fine", shows no despair as the probable date of his death ap- brooches.
