The 1885 holiday dancing season
will see many an oldster with young
ideas, tripping the light fantastic

the usual post-dance description) in
1914 Tuxedo fully equipped with
pistol barrel and breeches", and an

his Tuxedo breeches but he solved
the problem by mailing his pants to
the wall, then running and jumping
into them. And it's hard to wrap

still try to do it because the ladies
like us that way.

high state of rhythmic movement.
Dancing is one of the universal inter-

alike. 1t not only gives an outlet for
exercise but consumes considerable
part of the "teen-agers" spare time,
incidently, developing poise and
grace.
1t hasn't been long since dancing
was taboo in many places in America
but today there appears to be move
ment definitely interested In develop
ing youth recreation centers where
young people can gather and enjoy
wholesome recreation, art and amuse-
ment. Every town on the peninsula
needs building and supervised
program for the full development of
wholesome youth nterests--danclng,
skating, games, handicraft, reading,
music and guidance would round out
la healthy program. Isn't there some
way to finance it?
With convenient gathering place
and competent leadership, perhaps,
the youngsters could enjoy dancing
around the world in the French
minuet and quadrille, the German
galop, Hungarian poke, Bohemian
Schottishe, Scottish reel, fling and
strathsprey, African breakdown, the
Irish jig or the Russian Ballet. A
few of the others as they come to
mind are the waltz, two step, one
step, fox trot, turkey trot, Virginia
reel, square, clog, tap, Morris, st.
Vitus, The Dance Of Death, war,
snake, rhumba, Charlestown, horn
pipe, ragadoon, mazerka, double
shuttle, bolero, Savannah slip, clas-
steal, shimmy, ragtime, cake walk,
jazz and the barn dance.
The hobby census taken at the
Newark, Delaware Youth Conference
last February %, shows about a
third Of the young people enjoy the
hobby of dancing. Reading and
music were second and third on the
list of 400 signed blanks.
Dancing, the emblem of youth,
falls into two distinct classes-art
and amusement, the latter claiming
a majority of the enthusiasts.

(Tune-Believe Me OF ALI Those
Endearing Young Charms)
Let US fill all our days with the best that
we can,
That our life may be happy and free.
Frightening some weary way, every mo-
ment and day,
On storm tossed and troublesome sea.
Let US be what the Master would have US
to be;
His will our JOY and delight,
In our service for Him, that some soul we
may win,
And save from the darkness and night.
Let US keep our eyes ever on Jesus, our
Lord,
Looking down from the heavens above.
And drinking alone from the fountain of
life,
Gods redeeming and wonderful love.
And then when LIES journey is ended
below,
In the beautiful home of the soul,
We will join the glad choir, around the
white throne,
Where surges shall never more roll.

Three-Minute
Journeys
Nv TEMPLE MANNING


In England, old favoriteS die
hard and so the three most pop
ular resorts are still Blackpool
for the north, and Southend and
Brighton for the south. These
three places are a habit and, de-
spite the tendency of many to
take their vacations further
afield, France being a huge
favorite, these seasore resorts
still attract throngs.
Southend is the resort nearest
London and although for many
years it has been a butt for all
sorts of music hall jokes, it has
at last come into its own and is
as smart as its adjacent resi-.
Dental suburb of Westcliff.
Southend, the second largest sea-
side borough or municipality in
England, has a long history and
it shouldn't be sneered at even If
it was once almost sea Of mud.
"
Southend, a very short drive
out Of London, is mentioned in
the Domesday Book under the
name of Prittlewell. It was dur.
ing the reign of Henry VIII that
the present name was given to
this town, situated just south
east of London. 1t really is a
grand place with all sorts Of sea-
shore amenities and most pro-
gressive council out to make
their town the mecca for the rest
Of England.
AS in most seashore towns,
there are beautiful gardens right
down to the sea, with a 20-foot
floral clock as a fascinating fea-
ture. There are restaurants,
dance places and cafes set in
garden shrubbery.
The yachting harbor is a
dream for the yachtsman-some-
thing that has helped to take
Southend out Of the trippers'
class and put it in the list of
more fashionable resorts. A
yachting week program held
each summer attracts some Of
the finest craft.
If Southend has had to climb
out of the cheap resort class,
despite it's ancient history, Brigh-
ton has always been grand and
popular, the resort of kings. 1t
has a long, impressive history as
Brightelmstone. but it did not
come into its own until the
prince regent, afterward George
", made Il popular.

Has A Court Plan

The following Is a plan I have
devised for reorganization of the
United States Supreme Court:
New court to be 10 Justices.
No restriction as to age.
Term of office to be 20 years.
Any Justice whose 2O-year term
has expired can be reappointed
for another 20-year term of
office if the President so elects.
Term of office to begin with
date of Inauguration Of PreSi.
dent.
Two new Justices to be ap-
pointed by each newly elected
President. the first two, to be
appointed by President Roose-
welt NOW (1937), their term of
service to be from January,
1887, and to run for 20 years,
until January, 1857.
Continue to appoint two new
Justices each four years and
this method should give a Court
which keeps in step with the
Nations progress and new
thought.
In the event of death or resig-
nation or removal of any JUS
tice, a new Justice must be
appointed, not for 20 years, but
for the unexpired term of the
Justice who has died or re-
signed.
The nine Justices who censti-
tute the present Court to re-
main as now-and no restric-
lions as to age, or otherwise
not applicable now, shall OBJ
tain as to them.
Two new Justices appointed
by President Roosevelt added
would bring the present num-
Der Of Justices to II.
In the event of the death or
resignation of one of the present
Justices a new Justice must be
appointed for a term not to ex-
tend beyond January, 1857.
In the event of death,
resignation or removal of any
member Of the present Court of
nine Justices no new Justice
must be appointed, If such ap.

Wise Words

Remember, then, as long as
you live, that nothing but strict
truth can carry you through
the world, with either your con-

True happiness renders them

happiness is always shared

L Why Mr.. Roosevelt, in quot

American friend, failed to in
clude that most significant last
clause in the same letter, which
was the point of his whole

l. If Senator Clark, Missouri
Democrat, is a clairvoyant? He
voted to authorize the purchase
of a $4,000 painting depicting
the signing of the Constitution,
to be hung in a Capitol corridor,
but warned his colleagues: I'VE
had better exercise more dis
elimination than Congress has
used in purchasing some pic
lures in the past. I notice that
one painting in the Capitol is so
carelessly done that it shows
an Indian with six toes" The
painting he referred to was
bought more than fifty years
ago. How does the Missouri
Senator know that there was no
Indian at the signing who had
six toes? I once shook hands
with man who had five fingers
on each hand.

l. If any one ever noticed
some interesting comments made
by British naval experts last
May when the japanese cruiser
Asigara represented Japan at
the Coronation review Of inter.
national fleets at Spithead. The
experts were impressed with the
apparent power of the Japanese
cruiser in proportion to its size.
Because Japanese are mostly
small men. their crews demand
far less space and mess con-
ditions which would nauseate
and cramp Western physiques.
The Japanese suffer them with
out complaint. This gives Jap
ships spare room which can be
devoted to carrying heavier de-
fensive and offensive arma'
ments.
Small or large, big country or
little, human nature, being what
it is, will always fight.

L If, when seeking a clue to
Japan's fresh attack on China,
the secret may not be found in
Manchuria2 Japan's colonial
ton of Manchuria has turned
out a CHASTITY fizzle. They've
found the climate unsuitable.
They've found a Chinese pop
ulation rooted in the soil who
cannot be trusted to serve their
new masters.
Economically Japan has found
Manchuria a liability, not an
asset. To acquire this liability
Japan sacrificed the greater
part of her trade with her great
est trading nation-the AGO.
100000 Chinese on the south
side of the Great Wall.
The military clique promised
to deliver the goods to the
Japanese taxpayers - promised
them a promised land" in
which to expand and from
which they could get tax relief.
The militarists' promises blew
up in their faces. In despera-
ton they had to go south to
richer provinces of China to try
and make good. In trying to
make good, they are tightening
the rope about their own necks.
