Introduction to the Dance
By John Martin. NeU York
w, w. Norton Co.

This book by the New York Times
critic of the dance is sort Of gen.
eral text on its subject. 1t contains
elements of dance history, disserta-
tions on dance technique. and de-
scriptions of the concepts which
have governed the dance at differ
ent periods in it's development. 1t
also contains a pretty thorough sur
vey of the field of the dance at the
present time. On the whole, the
title of the thing is well taken-it
is an introduction" one which Of
fers about such information as an
intelligent young student might
want for a point of take-off.
MIR. Martin divides his material
into two broad sections-the dance
in theory and the dance in action.
Under the first head, he discusses
the inner influences which enter into
dancing and is, in the main, pretty
elementary. Under the second head,
he takes up different dance types,
as the recreational, the ballet, the
expressional, and discusses their his
tories and their great exponents.
His attitude is more mature here:
he apparently is addressing himself
to public which takes the dance
seriously and views it as a neces-
sary part of life. His comments on
individual dancers are particularly
interesting; he takes up Martha
Graham, Mary Wigwam, Doris
Humphrey, Hanya Holm, Charles
Weidman, Kurt Joos, Harold
Kreutzberg and Ted Shawn among
moderns and. of course. gives due
space to Fokine, Nijinsky, st. Denis
and Duncan in their appropriate
periods.
On the whole, the book can be
recommended to young students
who are starting libraries on the
subject. NC. r.
Enchanting Jenny Lind
By Laura Benet. New York.:
Dodd, Mead & Co.
Laura Benet's biography of the
Swedish Nightingale" although
written with frequently cloying SEN
timentality, provides good reading
and is substantially based on fact.
Many of the numerous letters
thoughtful, earnest, effervescent, in
turn-of this ever-changing, volatile
personality. punctuate and lend CO.
hesion to the running story that
Miss Benet has developed. In her
new venture into the field Of biog-
raphy the author plainly reflects
keen admiration of the operate star
Of the past century,
The American public probably has
never associated Jenny Lind with
anything save the name of Phineas
T. Barnum, which, of course, SYM
bolizes the circus. This is unfortu-
nate, since the successful American
tour of 1850, during which throngs
worshiped while Lind warbled and
Barnum beamed and filled his
pockets, was only a small period in
the over -crammed life of the So
prano Jenny Lind had long before
taken the music centers of Europe
with her sweet voice and arresting
stage personality In such favorites as
La Sonnambula," Norma" "Frei-
schultz"

tons also have been greatly reduced
by the use of silver preparations in the
eyes of infants at time of birth, by
newer forms of medication, and in
creasing knowledge of the damage to
vision which follows venereal infections
both in infants and adults.
For treatment the family physician
or the eye physician should be con-
suited as promptly as possible Until
that time. use simple solution like
saturated boric acid with an eye cup,
alternated With cold applications, rather
than any advertised remedy or eye
wash. The family physician will
prescribe proper antiseptics and other
treatment after diagnosis of the type
of infection. He is the best adviser, not
only in the matter of treatment but in
connection with contamination Of

Prevention of Eye Infection.

Ordinary eye infections are known
among laymen as pink eye"; to the
medical profession as "conjunctivitis. -
A mild conjunctivitis may mean simply
reddening or congestion of the lids
and eyeball from dust, glare, or smoke,
and occasionally from auto-intoXica-
ton. Hayfever or cold in the head
produces eye inflammation not due to
infection but to allergy or hypersen-
sitivity to some pollens or foods or
other substances. This type of inflam-
nation may be corrected only by find
ing the particular cause, long pro-
cess of detective work and study by
qualified persons. Inflammation of the
eyes from dust, glare or smoke, how
ever, are preventable by the use of
properly tinted glasses or goggles, and
avoiding the causes that produce them
Several different kinds of germs are
responsible for producing epidemics of
contagious conjunctivitis or pink eye"
Any sense of burning, redness, and
particularly discharge may result in
liberation of the cornea, the transpar-
ent anterior surface of the eye, pro-
ducing permanent scars and lasting
damage to vision.
Paper towels and handkerchiefS have
done much to prevent contagion. Germs
may be carried by air from an infected
individual to a normal eye. In schools
and other institutions person sneezes,
rubs his eyes, and so communicates
books and articles used by others. Rub
bling the eyes is extremely harmful be-
cause infection is carried into the hair
roots and produces styes which are
often multiple in frequency or recur
from re-infection from one hair root
to another. Hot boric congresses will
usually bring a stye to a head. If it
does not rupture spontaneously it Is
quickly relieved by having the family
doctor lance it.
The two most serious forms of eye
infection, trachoma and venereal in
lection are not SO common in this
country as in others. The former is
usually discovered by the family ply
sician and relieved by prompt thorough
and prolonged treatment Negroes rare
ly acquire it although it is extremely
common among Indians. Our strict
immigration restrictions, the work of
the government Indian schools. and
proper quarantine measures, have done
much to eliminate it. Venereal infec-

Most advantageous, and most widely
used, to reach European nations is the

Be Sure and Fill In Your
Draft QUESTIONABLE.

Many men registered under the
Selective Service Act appear to be
having difficulty in completing their
questionnaires sent to them by their
Local Boards. This was revealed to-
day by Lieutenant Colonel j. E. Mel
son, Director of Selective Service for
Minnesota
Colonel Nelson emphasized the i'm
portance of completing each part of
the QUESTIONABLE and of returning it
to the Local Board within the pre-
scribed time limit of five days. Failure
to comply, he pointed out, automati-
cally Classics man as delinquent,
and may result in his punishment by
a fine of $4,000 or five years in prison,
or both. Colonel Nelson stated it was
his belief that the majority of such
men were not deliberately violating the
law, but rather they did not read
and interpret the instructions pro-
perly.
Throughout the entire state of Min
neSota, the American Legion and the
Veterans of Foreign Wars have volun-
teered their services to assist all men
in completing questionnaires. In one
instance, at Austin, the American
Legion has assigned one of their
members to full time duty in this
capacity, and other parts of the state
report similar plans, or the setting
aside of certain periods each week to
be devoted to assistance to registrants
in filling out missionaries.
In almost every town and city in
Minnesota, said Colonel Nelson, there
is at least one man appointed to assist
in such duties, and If registrant does
not know that mans identity, he
should make inquiry of the Post
Commander of the nearest posi- of
the American Legion or the Veterans
of Foreign Wars. Any assistance
rendered by these organizations is
without charge to registrants, Colonel
Nelson stated.
