There's new dance you're going
to hear lot about before the win
ter'S over-the Veolanda.
n Yes, It's named for none
other than Veloz and Yo-
landa, because we dis
covered 1t.
Really, 1t Is an accident a
mistake. And that's why 1t should
be TIE ideal dance from the mans
standpoint-he can do no wrong,
for the girl can follow In any event.
The Veolanda came into existence
one night when we made a miscue.
Yolanda covered the mistake by do
ing a series of little mincing orien-
tai steps. They proved to be the
origin Of new dance routine.
Here's how we Veolanda:
Starting In the foxtrot position,
the man extends his left foot back
ward, followed his left right, cross
left behind right; repeat with right
foot. The girl keeps UP a mincing
pace with steps three inches long.
Next, the man extends the left
foot sideways, crossing the right In
front Of the left, then the right
sieways, crossing the left in front in
one-two three cadence. The girl
continues the gay shuttle Of three
inch steps, either ahead or to the
side, depending on the movement Of
her partner.
In the Veolanda's third step, the
man crosses his left foot in front
OF the right and takes three steps
to the right. Then he crosses his
right foot In front of the left and
takes three steps to the left. The
girl follows with her tiny shuttle.
The fourth movement Is a two-stcp

An English physician reports in
London Lancet four cases OF scurvy
observed In his practice.
One was a neurotic woman who
had "dieted" herself--it does seem
that the wiseacres who formerly
thought they knew little more
than the Ordinary doctor knew
about medicines now think they are
better informed than the mere
medical practitioner about nutri-
ton and dietetics-and the other
three were patients who had been
restricted In diet for prolonged per-
iods on account Of peptic ulcer. All
OF these patients presentde typical
manifestations OF scurvy, and all re-
sponded TO an optimal ration Of
vitamin g.
The physician reporting these
scurvy cases cautions the profession
against the possibility OF the devel-
opment Of yitamin deficiency dis
eases in patients whose diet is ne
cessarily restricted over consider
able length Of time. In the four
cases Of scurvy the nature OF the
trouble had not been recognized by
the physicians attending, simply be-
cause the physicians had not consid-
cred scurvy, which is rather rare
nowadays--that rs, outspoken scurvy.
Certainly, mild vitamin G deficiency
Is not so rare, nor Is 1t 80 easy TO
recognize unless the physician Is on
the alert for 1t. Among the sug-
gestive early signs Of mild scurvy or
moderate deficiency Of yitamin c
are rapid tooth decay, soft teeth,
and spongy, swollen, easily bleeding
gums; sallow. muddy complexion:
lack OF energy and laziness: peevish-
ness or moodiness; fieeting pains In
joints or limbs (pains usually called
"rheumatic").
Probably the tooth Is the first part
OF the body TO be affected by def
cheney of vitamin G. II the WISE
acre laity were not gullible about
conservation OF the teeth. every VIC
tim OF rapid decay Of the teeth
would consult a physician about nu-
triton.

adults, however, about three ounces
of fresh fruit Juice or the fresh

Juice or factory canned tomato or

40 units. For health's sake rather
more than this should be provided

Factory canned fruit or vegetable

vitamin G content Of the fresh food,
because the food Is Theoretically

in home canning process, destroys
