To the names of the LegatS, the
Petipas, Johannsen and Cecchetti
must be added those Of the Rus
sian-trained ballet masters Gerdt,
Obukoff and Fokine. OF these,
Cecchetti and Fokine survived to
aid with the development Of the
Ballet Russo under Diaghlleft,
which toured the United States
during the World War.
The present organization known
as the Ballet Russo is still carry
ing on the traditions of the Rus
sian Ballet and will be seen next
season with the National Sym
phony Orchestra in Washington.
The Russian revolution at the
time of the World War was the
means of causing many OF the
artists of the Imperial Russian
Ballet to scatter to many other
countries, Yet there have re-
mained in Russia nucleus OF bal
let artists that have carried brave
ly on their tradition.
Even now the Soviet IS making
a strong bid for tourists to visit
russia and observe the artistic de-
velopment in opera, ballet ana
drama.
Rigorous Training
The Russian school of the ballet
above all is founded upon thor
ough athletic development. Inc
ballet masters would work the pu-
oils in practice until they were
actually exhausted physically.
No prize fighter or Olympic
champion has ever been gwen
more rigorous athletic training
than was required of every mem
Der of the Imperial Russian Bal
let School.
In addition to the niceties OF
dramatic expression OF the lace
and hands, and the intricate move
Ynents of the feet, every dancer
must be capable Of performing al
manner of leaps and turns. Tne
leaps of some Of the dancers Il
entered in athletic field events
would doubtless have placed them
hieh in the Olympic contests.
Vaslav Nijinsky was especially
noted for his bird-like ability IN
soaring through the air as II IN
defiance of the laws of gravity
and his ability to attain elevation
was phenomenal. Yet Nicolas
Iegat tells of another dancer
Danashoff, who never left Russia
whom he saw make leaps that
made Nijinsky's work look like
child's play.
Tremendous Leaps
Iegat reported that he saw
Danashoff make leaps across an
orchestra pit that were almost I'M
Selievable. In jumping up, he
could perform the entrechat-hult
on either the up or down move
ment.
The entrechat-huit is the rapid
movement of the feet alternately
in front of and behind each other
eight times. while in the air.
Most ballet dancers consider
this movement a high attainment

This exhibition, representing the
results of the first systematic col
lection of early decorative art in
this country, is the forerunner OF
the publication Of the drawings
in group folios.
The American Index Of Design
was organized to compile, by
means of accurate documented
black and white and colored draw
ings and photographs, a pictorial
record of objects of American
origin in the decorative and ap-
piled arts.
Social Value
With many of these objects
heretofore not even studied and
others in danger of being lost or
destroyed, the Index is considered
of fundamental social value in the
perpetuation of these early arts.

VaIIee Ambitious
To Enter Politics,
Professor Reveals
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, June 11.-Rudy Vallee,
crooner and orchestra leader, emerged
here last night as a man of ambition,
anxious to enter politics.
Rudy yesterday was given an hon.
orary degree Of master Of arts by Suf-
folk Law School at special presenta-
ton because he had to return quickly
to New York.
Dean Gleason L. Archer, who earlier
in the day handed Hubert Prior VAL
lee, A. B., Yale '27, his degree, pic
tured him as young man Of enor-
nous concentration, doggedly wrestling
with his studies, oblivious to the
charms of chorus girls.
Rudy has not yet finished his law
course at Suffolk owing to repeated
interruptions necesSitated by his radio
contracts, but eventually, Archer said
he hopes to do so and then enter
politics.
Next year, in addition to continuing
his law school studies, Vallee will be on
the law schools college of journalism
faculty, where he will teach radio
! showmanship and head a department
of radio broadcaSting.

CONTRACTORS WIN
GROSS TAX APPEAL
Maryland Court Rules Levy
Not Applicable to "UItl-
mate Consumer"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, June 1.-THE
Maryland Court of Appeals yesterday
ruled that contractors are not charge
able with the States l per cent gross
receipt tax for materials used in the
erection of building or the construc-
ton of road.
In an opinion by Judge D. Lindley
Sloan, the court upheld ruling by
Chief Judge Samuel K. Dennis in the
Superior Court of Baltimore. Daniel
L. Clayland, Sd, director of the En-
ergency Gross Receipt Tax Division OF
the State controllers Office, said the
decision meant that from $4,000 to
S35O0O in taxes would be collected
from material supply houses rather
than contractors.
The case was instituted before the
gross receipt tax law expired on March
81. The foundation for it was laid
when the State, under the speedy
Judgment act, instituted action in the
Baltimore court to collect taxes from
Christhilf & Ensey, road contractor
and the Consolidated Engineering Co.,
Inc, a building contractor. The sum
of S606.67 was involved in the case OF
the road contractor and $1,333.63 in
the case of the building contractor.
The State appealed the decision of
the lower court Herbert R. O'Conor,
attorney general, and Edgar Poe, jr.,
special assistant attorney general,
argued the case before the Court of
Appeals. Briefs were filed as friends
of the court on behalf of the South
ern Maryland Lumber Dealers Asso-
citation; the Maryland Lime & Cement
Co. Inc, and the Association of Steel
Frabricators.
Judge Sloan pointed out that the
gross receipt tax law was intended to
impose a l per cent tax on all retail
dealers in goods, wares and mer-
chandiSe, the tax to be paid by the
one who makes the last sale to a con-
Sumer.
1T is the contractor or builder who
is the ultimate user or consumer of
the materials which in one of these
cases are converted and Fabricated
into a building and in the other into
a road" the jurist continued. In
principle there is no difference be-
tween the two kind of structures"

But they were working together and
Tamara found that an even more sat-
isfying communion. They rarely met
before supper time, except on matinee
days, and even on Wednesdays and
Saturdays they saw each other first
in the opening act. But they had
supper together every day at s, an
oyster stew or a crab Louis, something
very light, for Mayne said no one
could play well after too hearty a
meal, and after the evening perform
ance they almost always went to have
something to eat just by themselves.
Sometimes Joe Holloway or Pete or
Gedge lured them away for studio
party. Mayne worked hard and Sc
riously when he worked, and liked to
be in his. own bed at midnight.
Tamara kept exactly the hours that
he did; he usually brought her to her
door before II o'clock and perhaps
they exchanged a sober, weary, affec-
tionate kiss for their only goodnight,
both too tired and sleepy to talk much.
The play ran five weeks, a real sue
cess for San Francisco, and Mayne
could have been much lionized and
feted if he had wanted to be. But he
said he disliked that sort of thing, and
when she saw him still unspoiled and
simple after his success, Tamara ad-
mired him more than ever. They were
talking like lovers now. of themselves,
and of how they had found each other.
Perhaps it was not exactly of mar
riage that he talked, Tamara. who
weigher every word of his in her trem-
bling heart. would admit to herself
honestly. But he always talked as II
they belonged to each other and as If
he loved her very much and found
her beautiful and fascinating and
lovable.
Often he came to the Todhunters
apartment after the play and Tam
scrambled eggs and opened beer or
cooked him the steak and potatoes he
liked.
If she and Mayne were alone he
would kiss her. And now and then
when they were both stupid and sleepy
with the good food and he was saying
that he must go and Tamara was
murmuring that she must get to bed
she would go for moment to his
chair and settle herself on his knees
and lay her arms about his neck and
rest her soft cheek against his Shoul-
der Then she would feel Mayne's
kisses browsing over her temples ano
closing her eyes. and the shoddy little

That's where they always want to
be- When they're not around you I'm
thinking about you-wondering If
anything so sweet and fine and ador-
able as you are really exists, Tam.
The other day got to thinking that
there just wasn't any you, I'd just
dreamed you, and hung around the
stage until saw you come in with
a couple of the other girls, looking
500 damn sweet-in your velvet
dress"

adore it!"
We'll, if it had cost thirty-nine hum
dred 1t couldn't look any better. You
know you are sweet, Tam"
This was mumbled with more of
the browsing kisses against her.
Her soft laugh was her only answer.
After a while she said:
When ! first came home de-
termined to have this kitchen all
done over. And I've never touched it. !"
What's the matter with it?"
Everything. My first reaction to
it," Tam remembered idly, her temple
against his. her slender body relaxed
in his arms, her tone dreamy, was
that I couldn't possibly live here. that
we'd have to move. I'll never forget
those first days I thought I'd suf-
focate."
How long ago was this?"
Eighteen months ago. June, last
year. when I graduated"

break, have you?"

contentedly. But I used actually
to wish that I'd grown up in this
sort of thing" she added Il used
to wish that Aunt Tee hadn't given
me those years in ST. Brides. 1t
would have spared me lots of moral
jolts"
From what I've always heard of
those converts" Mayne said, they've
got lot of oldfashioned ideas. I
mean-the world changes. Morality
isn't as important as it used to
be"
'Oh. I think morality is, Mayne, "

doesn't it?"
"Persis and Joe-yes. But I think
it's helped change my mind, too"
LAS how?"
well, as making me feel that it's
what you are, you, yourself, way down
inside, that matters. What you do,
for instance, for some reason very
good today wouldn't necessarily mean
that you had weakened or given
up your-your principles tomorrow.
But then surely you never thought
any different from that, Tam? Not
as smart as you are!"
well, think I did. Or at least I
felt that If you did a thing that to
another persona nun perhaps, or a
very holy person, or a married
woman-if you did a thing that
to them was a sin-Tm getting
all mixed up," Tam said, stopping
short with a little laugh. Il think
I mean that I'm beginning to see
now that the thing itself-whatever
you do-doesnt matter It's how you
do it, and why you do it, and what
you think when you are doing it."

Some trout have been known to be

Fish, no doubt, have a sensation
