center of a circle of about dozen boys
and girls. Other couples noticing the
Jolly group wanted to join it, and con-
sequently Diana danced with first one
boy and then another all evening.
This story is just one instance more
illustrating the value of group. A
girl who has strong group of friends
b boys and girls both - is in posi-
ton of solid security and has a prestige
unattainabie by any girl whose social
standing rests upon the special atten-
tiveness of this or that or the other
boy - alone.

I am suggesting revival of THE
Dump" in all seriousness, on the
chance that it might ensure good
time to all the boys as we'll as the
girls by doing away with fear, which
is the sole cause of the sticky" dances
where not even the most popular
have a good time.
1t is stupid beyond belief that this
ballroom situation is exactly what it
was twenty years ago!
Let us put the question this way:
What is it that makes girl popular
at dance? The answer is, BE the
best dancer in the room!' The best
dancer never lacks partners. Ginger
Rogers, completely disguised, would
have the whole stag line eager to dance
with her. Second, don't get ballroom
fright. Why should ballroom be more
terrifying than skating rink - or the
beach in summer?
At the skating rink girl does not
mind at all if she is left alone. If a boy
leaves her, she practises fancy skating,
by herself, or she is joined by a group
of three or four. At a dance she is

WEATHER WISDOM

The freak had really been unpre-
dictable, for the storm out at sea had
capriciously turned about and headed
back to land.
N1R. WILSON A. BENTLEY of Jericho,
Vermont, has spent more than forty
years photographing snowflakes. Hc
has formed a collection of some 5000
unduplicated crystal designs. As
matter of fact, no scientist has ever
found a single snowflake that dupli-
Gated the pattern of another snow
flake. Thousands upon thousands of
Photographic records have been ex-
amined and each individual snow
flake has been found to be different in
design.
lHERE are three unusual things about
hail that not everyone knows: Hail
nearly always occurs in summer. 1t
seldom halls at night 1t halls only
during thunderstorm.
In 1928 a fatal hailstorm occurred
in Klausenburg, Roumania. While the
villagers were making merry in cele-
bration of May Day. hailstones larger
than golf balls suddenly fell in great
numbers. All the windows in the local.
ity were broken. Even roofs were
smashed. Six children were killed by
the ice bombardment, and ten adults
we're seriously injured.
j HE amount of power that is gen.
Grated in a hurricane is almost in
conceivable. A typical hurricane. the
Miami hurricane of 1926, blew for six
days 1t has been conservatively
estimated by scientists that if the
power in this cyclonic powerhouse
could have been harnessed it would
have been sufficient to run every
engine in the world for twenty years.

a dance one evening where by unusual
chance she knew two boys only. She
knew that she would have to continue
to dance with these two boys all even
ing - or else sit alone. So instead of
dancing she said: Il don't know any,
body here except you and Dick, so
please let's sit down for moment
while l think this out" So they sat
down. not far from the stag line.
Very soon a friend of Dicks came
by. He was stopped and introduced.
He asked Diana to dance But she
made him join them instead. In very
short while Diana was sitting in the

WOR long time have been waiting
to see what our super efficient
younger generation would do to
solve the cling-to-partner panic that,
at some time, seizes almost every girl
at dance. Modern Muriel, for all her
self-reliance, quakes in her little SAN
dals at that awful moment when she
fears she will be left for a moment
alone. And her own fear spreads in
stantly to every boy she knows in the
stag line:
The boys hang back because past
experience has proved that dancing
with any casually chosen partner may
mean captivity for the evening. They
watch the glamorous girl in green and
note how often she is cut in on. Be she
ever so lovely dancing round and
round with the same partner, they
wait their turn to dance twenty
steps, or maybe five, with Lucy Leader.
That Lucy would always have
plenty of partners is not to be doubted.
But the fantastic extent of her pop
ularity is due to the cling-to-partner
panic of the other girls.
The hapless situation of a wall
flower at a ball has always been de-
pic.ed as typical of Victorian society.
That boys and girls of this day of
independence should be as ballroom
conscious as were their Victorian
grandparents really makes no sense!
In fact, the problem was less in the
day of the dance card or of the cotil
lion, because yesterday mamma or an
other chaperon was haven for the
helpless. Today, there is nowhere
boy can leave a girl when they stop
dancing. Naturally, she has to cling to
the partner she is with or ask to be
taken to the dressing-room.
One suggestion that might be made
to ensure the success of dance would
be to revive The Dump" This should
not be confused with the wallf1ower
bench, where the neglected sat. The
Dump" was the counterpart of the
stag line, where the bellies as we'll as
the less popular sat all together in
large group. No boys were encouraged
to sit with them. any more than girls
we're encouraged to join the stag line.
As soon as girl and her partner had
danced or sat out long enough, she
returned to THE Dump as for
merly she returned to her chaperon.

North African desert. recorded heat of
more than 1876 degrees in the shade
PROBABLY the most unfortunate
weather prediction ever made by the
United States Weather Bureau was
the prediction of fair weather for the
inaugural day of President Taft The
day before that date cyclonic storm
had passed New York in typical
fashion, apparently to spend itself over
the Atlantic Ocean. Usually such
phenomenon betokens the end of
storm period and fair weather. In any
case. all accountable factors indicated
clear weather for Washington.
Relying upon the Bureaus predic-
ton, thousands ofpeople milledintot the
Capital sporting their finest regalia.
On the night before the Inauguration
it began to rain. This hardly augured
the catastrophe that was to follow.
Before morning it was showing; then
it rained again. BY daybreak the
streets we're deep in slush. 1t rained
and showed, and it showed and rained.
Then finally it froze. Even thunder
shower was included in the crazy

self stuck - and she completely for
gets that her partner is helpless, and
that she must rescue him.
Only one in a hundred has the wit
of Kay S. who said to Tommy Brown:
"Well, it's too bad, Tommy, but we
are stuck! Let's look as though we
were laughing at something terribly
funny as we dance past the stags."
She knew that a girl who looks really
amused will probably be cut in on.
There is also the maneuver of ex-
changing partners. Tommy looks for
an intimate friend who is dancing with
a girl other than his best one. He
manages to stop in front of the couple
and says: lack. shall we change
partners?" If at the beginning of the
next dance neither girl has been cut in
on, they exchange back to their first
partners. Or if Tommy's partner is
cut in on, he then introduces a stag to
Kay and Jack is Free A little later
Tommy cuts back and dances again
with Kay. The stays meanwhile, notic-
ing that Kay has been changing part
ners. probably dance with her.
We know that some people are born
to dance but they are very few. And
Gracia was not one of the few. She had
pretty face. but a plump figure. and
she had never taken dancing lessons
seriously. And then she went to her
first real ball. A boy asked her to dance
and he Immediately suggested they
sit it out. Then Johnnie, her very best
friend, danced halfway around the
room with her and after that said:
Come over here and let me tell you
something - you're a peach of a girl
but not in a ballroom! You might as
we'll have it straight II 60 and learn
how to dance or else don't come to
dances"
The next day Gracia went away to
spend few days with an aunt in New
York. But her visit heightened into
weeks, for at famous dancing school
Cracia was taking two lessons day
and practising between times. As
finishing course she joined class OF
professional chorus girls. and then she
went back home.
At a dance the night she arrived.
no one asked her to dance. Finally she
walked over alone to the orchestra
leader and asked for an especial num-
Der. As the music started she danced
by herself - danced as professional.
When she stopped the whole room
burst into applause. Obviously. she
now has plenty of partners!
And now for last example, let me
describe Diana, a very particular star
of New York's cleverest-among-the-
youngest group. She found herself at

WANTED. a BOOK OF AUTO 0UETTE
by Bez1on BxaleY

Oh Mrs. Post, you ought to set
Yourself the job of writing, yet,
A Book of Auto Etiquette!
For out of all the human host,
The Motorists need manners most,
So won't you tell 'em, Mrs. Post?
Tell 'em that those who blast and blare
Their horns here, there and everywhere,
Haven't a trace of "savoir faire."
Explain that cutting in and out,
While dangerous, beyond doubt,
Also reveals Vulgar Lout!
Tell 'em that he who tries to pass
On curves is, first, a reckless ass,
And quite distinctly "lower class"
Tell 'em that people who don't show,
By signals, where they plan to 60
Are "bounders" that One Doesn't Know!
Say to the careless parker, "Sir,
(Or Madam) You, | must aver,
Won't make the Social Registerr'
Tell 'em that shooting cross road
Not only risks tomb-abode
But breaks the Chesterheldian Code!
Preaching of safety lacks effect,
But drivers may grow circumspect
If you say folly's incorrect!
Their dangerous ways may be eschewed
If, Mrs. Post, your attitude
Condemns their recklessness as Rude!

WALL STREET AND THE HOT DOG STAND

Without maximum pro-
duction and a broad inter-
change of goods-trade-
there can be no such thing
as prosperity. That is a gen.
orally recognized truth.
What is not generally rec
ognized is the close and vital
connection between our great
financial centers and the
tiniest hot dog stand. Trade
is vital to the welfare of
both. And while Wall Street
would undoubtedly be able to
continue in business in the
absence of a single hot dog
stand, the operator of the
hot dog stand would ulti-
mately be in grave danger of
going out of business, if Wall
Street or it's counterpart
ceased to function! If you
don't believe this, bark back
to the days after 1929. The
public must come to realize
just how vital a spoke the
organized stock exchange is,
in the wheel of trade and
commerce. Smooth function
ing, efficient security mar

recalls, OF course, how there was a
pump printing of business then. It
cost $4,880, 100000. The result was
some very nice postoffices and other
public buildings and an addition of
81, $3.50, 100000 to the national debt.
The administration tried some other
pump printing, too, and succeeded
in building up the national debt still
higher. 1t is now pushing right
up to the forty-billion mark.
Since the pump printing and the
other spending ideas failed to ac-
>. complish anything
Spending in the other trials,
Fails there seems to be
no reason to ex-
pect the new outlay of cash to do
more than create a new high record
for the national debt. 1t will do
that, beyond question.
But I said at the outset that there
were others to blame. This fact
has been brought to the fore by the
condition lately much publicized in
Chicago and Cleveland. Scenes dis
tressingly reminiscent of the lines
of starving in 1880 were re-enacted
in Chicago and Cleveland within the
month. The cities were out of cash
and the relief lines became riotous.
There is not much to be done about
starving people but to feed them.
That is accepted. Yet, how did
that happen? Why was the condi-
ton allowed to reach that stage?
Here is the fact that will make me
very popular, am sure, in the areas
where the shoe fits: The states have
failed to assume their proper share
of the responsibility.
Let me repeat that: The states
have failed to assume their proper
share of responsibility! They have
consistently done so, and the reason

kets are essential. 1t is on
their floors that the buyers
and sellers of securities in a
vast array of private indus
trial enterprises must meet
to trade their wares. And
don't for a moment believe
that these wares are not just
as real and tangible as a
pound of potatoes. They are
the life-blood of commerce.
They are the principal assets
behind your insurance policy.
They have, indirectly, made
it possible for you to enjoy
cheaply such modern lux
uries as the automobile, the
telephone, electricity, in it's
manifold usages, the movies,
etc.
You may never have heard
of the "floor trader" "the
specialist" the "$2 broker"
and the "odd lot dealer" You
may never hear of them in
the future, but they all con-
tributed their bit, not only 10
the stability and iquidity of
the stock market, but to the
stability of the economic life

NO CELLARS HERE

Americans returning from

in London and in. many Sec
tons of Paris, workmen are
delving underground. But
it is not in building subways,
sewer and cable systems, such
as local people are accus-
toned to seeing when they
visit big cities. Over there,
they are spending billions of
dollars in building huge
underground shelters, or tun-
nels, or cellars, where the
population may take shelter
from bombing raids in case
of war. Many centuries have

up almost weekly. One got
a little bold, and got by with
it, and then another got a
little holder, still another
more daring followed it UNI
til the limit now seems to
have been reached. No one

the publishers if they are
