Dancing Will
Hell p Rout
DoIdrums
BY DONNA GRACE

4 FEW days ago we talked
with one of the nationally known
dance teachers and some of his
observations were very interest
ing. For instance. he says few
persons will take thought to selfs
Improvement without some def
mite stimulus. He says every
one is naturally lazy and will do
only what they feel necessary
for their own personal comfort
or gain.
Most young people dance for
the sheer JOY of 1t. Their asso-
ciates all dance and it is just
part of their development. Ma
ture men and women who take
up dancing do it for definite
purpose. usually for more advan-
tageous social contact.

Soa Heir
Shifting His
Divorce Role
BY MAURY PAUL

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Fred-
die Proctor, heir to some of
those soap millions. is no novice
when it comes 10 divorce courts.
He knows his way round. having
been divorced by trio of dis
illusioned wives in 1921. 1890
and 1885.
Now il would appear he has
wearied of being divorced-and
is bent on doing a bit of divorce
ing himself
He has just started proceed
iHgs in a Miami court which he
hopes will bring him his freedom
from Iris Goulding Proctor, the
fourth wife he has managed to
affnex.g
For some time past he has
wanted his freedom from Iris.
She. however. has shown no dis
position to do anything about
the matter.
And in papers. just filed in
Florida's gold coast. Freddie
claims he has no knowledge of
Iris present whereabouts. hav-
ing last seen her at Cannes, on
the French Riviera. in July,
ta3S.-
He hints. however, that her
brother. f d m und Goulding.
Hollywood movie director, might
know her address.
There can be only one reason
for Freddie changing his divorce
court role from "defendant" to
"plaintiff'-he wants to marry
Harriet Hewitt Hartman.

Clever New Fruit
Combination

IT'S A new and clever idea
to serve a variety of canned
fruits in separate bowls instead
of the usual mixed fruit COM
pote. Then every guest may
choose his own combination of
dessert or appetizer. Small dishes
of chopped nuts and coconut
add a festive garnish note.

Rich Rewards

The mature person who has
the ambition TO take up dancing
deserves praise. even though
done from selfish motives. This
course will do so much for them.
They lose their rigid posture and
W XIV ardnes SIS. also find a
changed mental attitude toward
others. No one can be sad or
disagreeable and dance.
Coordination of-rh y h m j C
movements with music requires
concentration and to concentrate
on music and graceful move
mentS of the body will insure
lightheartedness and good ma
ture.
Every home woman should
make a point TO keep up her
ballroom dancing. There is al
ways an hour several times a
week when one can slip out TO
studio for practice and the work
in classes may have added ad-
vantage in the contacts made.
Happy Answers
The intelligent person has
learned the necessity of physical
exercise but most of them dislike
routine exercises. They do not
have patience. to put forth eff
fort unless there is some imme-
date evidence of Improvement.
Dancing, for them. is most satis-
factory.
Those who dance will immedi-
ately take up other exercises.
They want to hasten the inn
provement and when the mus
Giles begin to lose stiffness they
enjoy all kinds of home gym
work.
All professional dancers spend
hours on exercise alone, The re-
lease of muscle tension is so
restful and one can receive more
comfort from an hours hard ex-
ercise than the same time spent
in lazy inactivity.

WAY 10 Do II

Stand about 8 or 10 feet away
from a wall, get running

flip your heels over your head
and there you are, balanced
neatly on your hands with your
feet against the wall. The way
she does il, il LOOKS easy!
Any one who is supple-and
perhaps not afraid of breaking
her neck-is supposed to be able
TO do that. If there is any DIFF

your elbows are weak and you
can fix that with this little num-

We Want the Seaway

FTER 80 years of leadership in the fight to develop
a the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence seaway project,
Michigan is being represented, maliciousy and in
correctly, a state opposed to this undertaking.
The state Senate has couded Michigans position by
refusal to pass resolution urging the Congress to start
work on the project at once.
Some senators contend the resolution is not i'm
portant because Congress pays slight attention to
lutions received from local Legislatures.
THIS is feeble and dangerous excuse
l In truth, the Senates action is tremendously i'm
portant because the eastern states that always have
fought the ST. Lawrence waterway point to the fact
that the Michigan Legislature has withdrawn its Gus
tomary support.
The clear inference is that the people of Michigan
no longer favor the waterway
As matter of fact the people of Michigan are more
vigorously back of the project than at any time in the
30-year fight.
With the protected of the Great Lakes becoming
the asenas for all democracies realize the necessity
for deep-water to the seas.
The need for the cheap electric power that the devel
opment would produce is matter for national concern
Locally, workmen and farmers foresee future peace
when the products of Michigan and the Middle west
would flow directly to all the ports of the world.
{, PONSORED by Rep. William Buckley of Detroit, the
resolution passed the House of Representatives many
weeks ago 1t is in the resolutions committee OF the
Senate and Senator Herman Dgnan of Owosso the COM
mittee chairman, says it will not be released.
Dignan contends the railroads are against it and that
nobody wants it
The senator is being mlsed or he deliberately refuses
to recognize the public will
Let him look about, and he will find that industrial
and agricultural organizations strongly supporting
the waterway and that many cities like Detroit, have
set UP official committees fight the battle in Washington
