(Yere the ''Charleston'' and “Black ttom" too mild and sedate for u? Here's anew dance, then, that’s ice as crackling, breath-taking and noisy. It’s called the “Savanh Stomp" and hails from Kansas ,y, Mo. Ned Wayburn, widely own producer of musical shows, uches for it, and thinks there sn't been such a fascinating footister on the boards for a long le. / The Stomp, according to Wayburn. e the Charleston and the Black ttom, is a negroid dance inspired ses News Style in Suicide Note Vnitcd Press MEW YORK, April 21.—S.

One of the latest indorsements of is kind was given to the Konjola an who is at the Hook drug store, snnsylvania and Market Sts., this ty, by Mr. Roy Hodges, 412 South St., Indianapolis.

by a southern Negro dancing to the “blues." It is much like the Charleston. Leg movements are similar, but the feet are brought down ffat, the toe and heel simultaneously. Give It “Ha-Ha” Here Local dancing teachers are less .enthusiastic than Wayburn. In fact, they are inclined to give this Savannah Stomp a decided ha-ha, and a cold shoulder in the bargain. "Indianapolis folks are not conservative about learning new dances,” Louis Stockman of the Stockman Dance Studio observes “but there's no evidence that this stomp thing—reputed to be the noisiest dance ever conceived, will attract any interest here. The Polly Hop and the low-down are most locally popular right now.” In answer to Wayburn's contention that the Savannah Stomp has it “all over” the Charleston and Black Bottom for grace, R. L. Sullivan, another local dance master demurred “Well. T shouldn't think the word ‘grace’ is exactly the one to use in this connection. In fact, in all these fanciful new dances, life and action, not grace, are stressed. In fact, the Taplco Tap—a very late thing, and getting popular here, is about the only dance of a very lively persuasion that is really graceful. The Savannah Stomp may become popular—there's no evidence yet.” “Indiana Hop” • ‘>T think this ‘Savannah Stomp,’ as told of by Ned Wayburn, is what we here call the 'lndiana Hope,’ ” says Miss Berry of the Berry Dance Studio. “It’s a lively dance—yes, and it's noisy, but it's really goodlooking. It's supplanted the ‘St. Louis’ and some of the other dances that were taking the young folks by storm a short while ago. This ‘Savannah Stomp.’ or 'lndiana Hop’ has been danced locally only a short while. Yes, it may make the ‘Charleston’ and the ‘Black Bottom’ fade out of memory. It's too early to tell yet.” DISPLAYS GRASSHOPPER County Commissioner Brings Bottle to Courthouse to Prove It. To County Commissioner George Snider goes the prize for catching the first and largest official grasshopper of the season. The insect has a wing span of three inches and the bottle in which Snider placed it to bring it to the Courthouse was well spattered with “tobacco juice.” Snider said his wife coralled it on the front porch of their home, 317 N. Summitt St. $300,000 GYM FOR GARY City Council Approves Bond Issue for Project Bu Vnitcd Press GARY, Ind., April 21.—Construction of a central auditorium and gymnasium will be started here soon, following the approval by ther city council of a bond issue with which to finance the project.

COUNTY ASKS $25,000 Marion county commissioners filed suit in Superior Court Two today, asking $25,000. Commissioners declare that funds were to have been turned over to the county under a 1022 agreement.

Anew musical instrument, known as the banjo harp, is to be introduced to the radio world tonight when the Paramount Banjo Boys broadcast from WOB at 7 p. m. This instrument is made entirely of wood, with special interior construction and arched sound boards of selected comb spruce, much like a regular tenor banjo. It has no metal parts nor heavy rim, however, and is light, weighing only three and a half pounds. Its tone is claimed to be more accurately comparable to the harp than any other instrument.

CASTORIA. X/Ju\\\xxx\xxxxxxxxxxxxsxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\xx\x\x\\x\\x\

Why Castoria? Years ago Castor Oil, Paregoric, Drops and Soothing Syrups were the remedies in common use for Infants and Children; Castor Oil so nauseating as to be almost impossible and the others all containing Opium in one form or another, but so disguised as to make them pleasant to the taste, yet really to stupefy the child and give the appearance of relief from pain. It required years of research to find a purely vegetable combination that would take the -place of these disagreeable, unpleasant and vicious remedies that from habit had become almost universal. This was the inception of, and the reason for, the introduction of Fletcher’s Castoria, and for over 30 years it has proven its worth, received the praise of Physicians everywhere and become a household word among mothers. A remedy ESPECIALLY prepared for Infants and Children and no mother would think of giving to her baby a remedy that she would use for herself, without consulting a physician. To avoid imitations, always look for the signature of Proven directions on each package. Physicians everywhere recommend it
