Objection
To Dance
Criticized
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Famous Authority on Problems
of Loue and MdrriGge.)
Dear Miss Fairfax:
while the advice given in
your column is sensible, and you
never "sob," there is one thing
to which = take exception: You
continually urge young people
to go to dancing schools and be-
come expert dancers.
you suggest this in the in
terests of popularity. Why should
young people be popular?
There's enough trouble in the
world as it is.
MY wife and I had an ideal
married life, and neither Of us
danced. I am now a widower,
with three daughters, and 1 am
opposed tc their dancing.
STERN PARENT
when I discovered that they
were in the habit of Sneaking
out, one at a time, and going to
dances, with the two remaining
home lying to protect the one
who was Sneaking, I said the
next time it occurred, I'd lock
the door, and the dancing girl
could spend the night as she
pleased.
The trouble in the world at
the present time is due to the
fact that people have abandoned
church fc'' dancing and movies.
Bible reading is set aside in
favor of light literature.
II hope that woman in your
position will try to make her
readers more Serious-minded in
stead of urging them to dance.

PARENTS CRUEL"

Yet I have both seen and
heard of people who did just
this very thing-who made a
child think that the parent
who held him up to standards
of behavior and who did not
give into him was being Cruel"

Every morning thereafter, rain or
shine. father and son rolled out of
bed in the chill of the early hours,
donned old trousers and sweaters, and
hurried out to the back yard. There
Frank Custer shot short, fiat passes,
and longer looping passes, and tre-
mendous bullet-like passes, to Johnny.
And Johnny caught most of them,
He acquired confidence. He learned to
run at little less than top speed. 50 he
had something left for final burst if
the ball went just beyond him. His
fingers grew stronger and surer. and he
dropped the ball less frequently.
Nevertheless, he didn't become
regular on the Wilson team. The fact
of the matter was, the other ends were
just little better than Johnny. Per-
haps their actual ability was no
greater, but they were passionately
fond of football, while Johnny wasn't.
The difference in attitude is the divid-
ing line between star and second
stringer, as any player will tell you.
Johnny felt keenly his failure to
make the first team. Not that he cared
about playing regularly himself, but it
meant so much to his dad. Johnny
understood Frank Custer better as
result of those morning sessions. He
realized that the gulf between them
would be brldged when he was able to
meet his father as man to man. when
he had done something to command
his hearty admiration and respect.

came Wilson's final game of the season
against South Hills, with Johnny, as
usual, sitting on the bench.
1t had rained all that morning, and
the field was soggy. South Hills, with
a heavier line. had a distinct ad-
vantage in the mud, and went into the
fourth quarter with 1877 lead. As
minute after minute of the final period
passed. and Wilson failed to get into
scoring position, those six points
looked bigger and bigger.

clutched tightly against his jersey.
He saw the referee throw his hands
high above his head to signal a touch
down. He saw his teammates leaping
and pounding each other in delight.
He heard pandemonium break loose
in the Wilson stands. The score was
tied 1913, and Wilson could win by
kicking the goal!
But suddenly, the captain of the
South Hills team was running up to
the referee 'Incompleter' he cried
desperately. That pass was incom-

The referee hesitated He had been
back down the field, unable to see the
ball because of the players pursuing
Johnny. He beckoned to the umpire,
and then went into hurried consulta-
ton. The umpire had also slipped in
the mud. just as Johnny went over the

the field the Wilson quarterback was
still trying desperately to shake man
loose. But finally, realizing that time
was getting very short. he decided to
gamble. and uncorked a deceptive
play which ended in a pass
Schultz. the right end, was on the
receiving end of the pass, and he
twisted his way over the slippery field
to the 25-yard line before he was
dropped. He went down hard, and
he didn't get up.
Like flash Johnny was on his feet,
his eyes glued to the PROSTATE player,
his nerves tingling. If Schultz had to
come out. he would be sent in to
replace him. He'd get his chance!
There was hardly any time left, but
miracle might happen. He might catch
a pass - to pull off a brilliant run -
to score touchdown.
Up in the stands. he knew, his
father was also on his feet, praying
that Johnny would be sent into the
game If he could only come through
for his dad If he could only repay him
for those mornings of practice, show
him they'd been worth the trouble!
Johnny's eyes were still riveted on
Schultz. They had him up now, and
were walking him around.
Warm up, Johnny" Coach O'Con-
nor barked. You'd better 60 in"
With one jump Johnny was out in
front of the bench, pulling on his
headguard, running back and forth
with high-lifted knees. 1t had hap
pened. He was going in!
"All right. Johnny" snapped the
coach as they walked Schultz from the
field. Have 'em keep passing. It's
our only chance"
Johnny raced out on the field to
report to the umpire. He took his
place at right end. being careful to say
no word to teammate until after the
first play. 1t was Wilson'S ball, first
down on South Hills 25- yard line.
Johnny heard the signal. 1t was a
short pass. AS the ball was snapped he
lunged past the defensive tackle and
cut sharply in behind the South Hills
line. But one of the South Hills backs
was right on top of him, and the
Wilson quarterback shot the ball to a
halfback. The pass was grounded.
Once more they lined up. With
little thrill of excitement. Johnny
heard the signal for the trick play on
which Schultz had been hurt.

There was stunned silence. Then

him that it was all right. that it didn't

 Life Story
 John D. Rockefeller's life story started at Richford, Tioga Coun- ty, N. Y, where he was born on July 8, 1839 Frequently in his advanced age he used to motor up there and visit his boyhood haunts.
 He was of the fifth generation in descent from Joha ann Peter Rockefeller, who came with his sons to America from near Coblenz or the Rhine in 1720 and settled in New Jersey. The family was originally French, named Roche feuille' or "Rocqueville, meaning "RocBleaf," and they had lived for a long time in France. whence they fled when the Huguenots were be- ing persecuted in 1685.
 Shrewd Father
 MT. Rockefeller's father. William Avery Rockefeller, was shrewd farmer and doctor, who often went away from home on long trading trips. His mother was Eliza Davi- son, daughter of John Davison, of Niles Township, near Moravia, N. Y. She was noted for her deep piety and her firm, though gentle, rule of her children.
 They all had to work hard and study hard, though they had plen- ty of time for play, too. The fam fly lived five years near Moravia and later moved to Owego, N. Y., where John and William, broth CT, attended for two years the fa- nous OWego Academy
 T had a peculiar training in my home" MT. Rockefeller said. T cannot remember when hard work was new or strange to me. We were taught to work, to save, and to give.
 Ours seemed to be business training from the beginning. We were encouraged to be self-re1iant. was taught to do as much busi- ness at the age of 10 and Il as it was possible for me to do.

Carradine Skillfully Enacts Role of Historic Villain
 in Daniel Boone

The part played by renegade white men in arousing Indians to attack fronbiersmnn and their families, in the latter part of the eighteenth century is brought out in historic manner in Daniel Boon which with George O'Brien starred, is now at the Coliseum Theatre. One of the leading characters depicted in the photoplay is that of such rene |gade-a man who makes thou |sandfold more perilous and difficult the task of leading some thirty odd families from their old homes in North Carolina to new ones in a fertile Kentucky valley, beyond trackless forests and the great bar rier of the Cumberland mountains. This renegade, Girty, is played with great skill by John Carradine. OBrien, as Boone, the farsighted, courageous frontiersman, is seen in nearly constant conflict with Girty, in this screen epic of the settlement of Kentucky.
