ROUND THE TOWN

Hi! Everybody! I suppose there
is little doubt that the Northwest
is getting a little" Of the winter
that has been so severe in the east
and middle west. While I'm writ
ing this the snow is falling and the
flakes are thicker than flies at a
picnic. To Helen HoneysuckIe who
is SO crazy about the snow l have
dedicated this little poem. Pardon
my poetic accent:
oh! Snow! OH OH Beautiful snow
You are as welcome as flowers in
May.

doe,

Why is it ALL the dances must
be given across town? One might
as well go &c a night club where
at least you pay no admission
to spend your money at the bar.
Don't misunderstood me. I like
personally to go to cabaret dance
once in a while, but not every time
they have dance. I hope the
clubs think about this next time
they plan a dance!l

Fortress of Chillon Is
Popular in Switzerland

The Swiss town of Villeneuve at
the eastern end of Lake Leman al
ways welcomes visitors, for in
spite of its name, "New City," it is
very ancient town, known in the
time OF the Romans as Penniloci.
But as in years past, it yielded to
the attractions of the Castle Of Chill
lon, the best known castle in all
Switzerland, with whose story, first
celebrated by Lord Byron in 1916,
few castles in all Europe can COM
pete.
The fortress of Chillon stands a
mile from Villenouve, on an isolated
rock about twenty yards from the
bank Of the lake. Il is connected
with the shore by a bridge, which in
medieval days was a drawbridge.
How old the castle may be none
can tell, but Bronze Age tombs,
nearly 1000 years old, discovered at
its entrance, give one some key to
its antiquity. The earliest mention
of Chillon Castle in any document
is zoos A. D., when it belonged to
the bishops of Sion, but from the
Twelfth to the Sixteenth century it
was held by the Dukes of Savoy,
during whose reign most of the tor
lures in it took place.
Although in the Sixteenth century
Francois Downward, the subject OF
Byron's poem, was imprisoned
there when he with other Swiss pa
triots rebelled against the Duke OF
Savoy, his two years fettered in
the dungeon which bears his name
was but slight suffering compared
to the tortures of most who were
thrown into the dark, damp cham
bers there. The post, erected in 1856,
near where the torture by fire was
perpetrated shows the scorings and
burns made by the executioners in
their testings of the heated irons.

The Dance of Salome

No one is in a position to give
definite information concerning the
steps danced by Salome nor the
tempo of the music. In ancient
Hebrew times the tambourine and
the cymbal and the harp accom-
panied the dancer. This type Of
dance is always sensuous. The
entire body is brought into play.
The hips and the hands are over
emphasized. The dancer who
takes this role should dance in bare
feet. It is customary for her to
wear scarf tightly folded about
her head, ornamental breast orna-
ments, and skirt which is ankle
length or a little longer, slashed
up one side. Many scarfs Of vari-
Gus colors form an important de-
tail Of the costume Of Salon.e.

Machine Age Foot Ball.

They have fused the machine age
and Falls most fascinating pastime,
foot ball. Skeptics on that point have
only to read in next Sundays Stan
the story of how foot ball players are
made; how they learn to charge, TO
block, TO snake their way down the
field, all through the aegis Of ma
chimes designed for the particular job
Of turning out gridiron geniuses.

Again

The annual membership drive Of
40 Montgomery County Chapter of
40 Red Cross will open today follow
80 q roll call dinner Tuesday night
- which volunteer workers received
6ra, instructions for the campaign.
The dinner was held in the Rock
r;Ile Baptist Church and plans for
.ha drive were outlined by Donald
DeLashmutt, who is serving as
,ho;rman for the second consecutive
year. Rev. Guy H. Crook of Pooles-
vile presided.
Miss Margaret Wood Hagan from
rational Red Cross headquarters,
told of activities of the branch at
g. Elizabeth's Hospital, where she
has charge of Red Cross activities.
Reports of last years work were
made by Mrs. j. Somerville Dawson
nj Rockville, chairman of the Nurs-
inc Committee; Maj. L. L. Dye of
Garrett Park, chairman of the Spe-
cial Gifts Committee, and Harry l..
Golloday of Bethesda, a member of
the same group.
A motion picture of the relief
work carried on by the Red Cross
in Montgomery County during the
food last Spring was shown at the
conclusion of the meeting.
Mr.. DeLashmutt has addressed the
following appeal to residents of the
county:
"The Red Cross Roll Call for 1886
begins October Is, 1886, and will
continue through October 3Oth, 1886.
Keep these dates in mind. Repeat
them and broadcast them until every
one in Montgomery County is con-
scous of them
1--WE in Montgomery County have
always felt that disasters such as
floods, famine, etc, etc. could not
visit us-at least we never had one
of any consequence. However, we
did have a serious flood last Spring
and for the first time observed the
work of the Red Cross as it in,
stantly came to the relief of our
distressed citizens. We cannot for
see just where or when such a
visitation viii again strike. How
ever, we now know that we are not
immune from such visitations and
we further know that the Red Cross
was ready to help Us and was on
the ground before most of US knew
the seriousness of the situation This
help was available to US Only be-
cause of the funds realized each
year from Roll Call memberships.
"Our Montgomery County Chap
Der also needs funds to carry on
through the cOmEg year the. work
OF the Red Cross Visiting Nurse,
the work among the children in the
schools, home accident prevention, etc.
The Red Cross Nurse is the only
bedside nurse in the County avail
able to any person living within our
boundaries.
"The Annual Membership fee in
the Red Cross is the small sum Of
s1.O0, but gifts in any amount are
gratefully accepted l feel everyone
with an average income can afford
to become a member.
Lay aside your dollar now and
be ready, when the Red Cross Work
er calls, to do your BIT. Please keep
IN mind that the men and women
who come to see you are volunteers
and receive not one cent of com
pensation. You can help them by
