mice from establishing winter

given this advice by university
scientists: Bait your traps with
gum crops rather than cheese.
When the mouse bites the candy
it sticks to his teeth---and the
trap snaps shut on its neck. One
professor reports that II mice
were killed in an hour on one
gum drop" We don't suppose
this innovation need be confined
strictly to mice in your kennels;
It seems reasonable to believe
that any mouse, anywhere would
bite on it, don't you think?

Hiya Neighbor - Don't look
now, but Halloween is just around
the corner and this year it looks
as if we oldsters in Port Clinton
will be the ones to don the false
faces and go from house to
house doing the old Trick or
Treat" routine. The small fry
will be occupied at the stadium
parading in costume and enjoying
the annual community Halloween
party sponsored by the Merchants
Association. And the teen-agers
will be kicking up their heels at
the Youth Honor Day dance spon-
sored by the Loyal Order of
Moose at the armory. SO that
leaves the field clear for Mrs,
Oglethorpe. She can hop off her
broomstick for a change and do
a little plain and fancy haunting
all by her lonesome.

Truman Signature Assures
Payday for U. 5. Workers

Thousands of Government en-
ployes who were threatened with
financial troubles were assured of
their current pay today after
President Truman signed a stop
gap resolution late yesterday per-
mitting the payrolls to be met as
usual.
The emergency action was ne
cessitated because the regular ap-
preparations still are caught in a
congressional logjam. It was the
second time that temporary pay
law was necessary.
At that the workers are not in
the clear for the year. as the new
resolution carries their appropria-
tions only until August is.
Army, Navy, Air Force, Interior
Department and a score of small
er agencies are affected.
Money also was included for the
Economic Cooperation Admins
tration which directs the Marshall

Washington got its first glimpse
of the ballroom hula" yesterday
"a new dance that will have cou-
piles pulling in imaginary fish nets
on dance floors if it catches on
here.
The ballroom hula" was born
few months ago in Hawaii. 1t
was conceived by Dan Wallace,
who operates a dance studio in
Honolulu. A month ago, it ar
rived on the West Coast and be-
came the craze. according to Mrs
Gladys Bowen, a San Diego
(Calif) dance instructor. She
brought the ballroom hula here
yesterday to s~e what the East
could do with it.
Officially Mrs. Bowen gave a
demonstration of the "BH' at the
Dance Masters Of America Con-
vention in the Shoreham Hotel
Unoffcially she performed 1t for
the press in the hotel lobby. to
the great delight of loungers who
had been looking pretty bored.
AS she sWayed. glided and
stomped, Mrs. Bowen explained
the basic eight steps of the Ha-
Waiian social dance for couples,
which. she said. combines the fox
trot with the traditional and
modern hula. Throughout the
dance. the knees are slightly
f1exed.

DC. 10 Save $4,000 in Cut
OF St. EIizabeths Rates

A 1-cent-a- day reduction in
rates to be charged District and
Federal agencies for care of their
patients at St. Elizabeths Hospital
during this fiscal year will save the
District an estimated $4,000. it
was announced today.
Budget Director Frank Pace. jr.,
notified Commissioner John Rus
sell Young of the new rate of $4.12
a day.
The 1850 District budget pro-
vides for care of 1900 patients at
st. Elizabeths during the fiscal
year. The new rate knocks almost
$4,000 off the amount the Dis
trict had estimated it would cost
to care for these patients at the
old rate.
The law provides that the
amount charged the District and
Federal agencies for care of their
patients at the hospital shall be
based on a per diem rate approved
by the Budget Bureau.
Evening star., 1949-08-02

It's purely impressionistic, -
Mrs. Bowen said, "and the hands
are used only in simple gyrations,
such as in the step called the
hukilau, where you pretend you're
pulling in fish nets
The other seven steps, she ex-
planned as she danced. are tie
hula vamp, the basic hula step
the ami, or around the world step,
the kalakaua. where you face your
partner and make a half moon
with your feet: the hela, a swing
ing cross the-foot step: the
uwehe. a knee -pushing-forw
maneuver; the hue, a stompin2
motion. and the low ami, stamp
ing and rising finale.
The ballroom hula" is wide
open for improvising once you get
the basic steps, Mrs. Bowen SAID.
1t can be danced to any four-four
tempo Hawaiian music. although
a special song has been written
for it, she said.
Every one likes Hawaiian
music" Mrs. Bowen said, because
it's soft and quiet. But no one
has been able really to- dance to
it, unless they wanted to do a
real hula which few know and
can't do on a dance floor. anyway
That's why I think the ballroom
hula' will catch on here"
