AUGUST 14. 1920.
"UPLIFTING" THE DANCE. "If you really arc a waltzer you ought to bo able to flanr.f with a cup of ten on your h'al without spiilinK any," Is the dictum of n London Authority on the art of Terpsichore. That int-r-fpts U4 for more than the pvidenc it afford? that somw-tiere in the world there still are to bp found devotees of the stately waltz. To be .sure, thLs will not dövate Ixmdon in the esteem of really progre?rtY dancers. You can hardly expect widerpread resprct for a people who pass uj. th; shimmy for something rnoro dignified. But Is there not in thf Londoner's dictum a upsestlon for increa.-ini? the pay-ty of Killroom antica on thix side? If a .i?ood waltzer. who does all hla dancing below the hips, carries his body with tha-t ditrnity and pois which would enil.lo him to use his coco as a tray for hla teacup, why should not morA aorobitic dances be retined in kind? Observers have remarked that no head-work is required in tripping the ii'ht fantastic of th" day. Why not, then, introduce the vogue of carrying while riancinc? Thwe is no preat trick in poisinpr a bottle on the poll, orifice, while standing still; it would be fome stunt to do the same thinjr while prancinp, shivering and shaking around a ballroom. F.ut all that would be necessary would be control of ihf muscle? of lh neck .so that lh head would remain absolutely still regardless of what the body and limbs were doinsr. There might be considerable ln of gla.ware tnd crockery while adepts were beint; developed, rut who cares for expense? The "gate" no doubt would be substantially inrre.i ?-d. It might take sonif of the abandon out of the dance and to break down prejudice. I?ut let us not risk teacups, tdnce it's as much a ta i?e as anything In America. o GERMANY AND RUSSIA. The vl-w- which prevails in Kntrland and France that a ferret understanding exists between Germany and Russia, and that the desire of both governments k to nullify the effects of the peace treaty and prevent putting Into effect of its provisions is easily understood. It was Germany which eneournd bolshevi.m in Russia, destroyed th morale of that nation and endered it ineffective as An allv of the entente powers. Nothing wculd be more natural than that sinister forces in both countries should work toceiher again ft their 'mmmen opponent. Winston Fpencer Churchill has pointed out th" danger this would bring to Germany, but it is not likely Germany will tako any advice made in Ivndon. however beneficial it may be. The Uritlsh secretary of state for war called upn Germany to opposo bolshevism in the interest of Germany, the allies and Europe, to "build a dike of peaceful, lawful, patient strength and virtue against th" flood of lied bnrbarism ilowing from the east." and thus j-afrpi tril her own Interests as well .- the Interests of her principal antagonists in the west. Resides proving her desire to cooperate with ether nations in the interests of government by rivilized methods, if Germany would do this the Red Invasion could b. checked and the bolahevlsts kept within their present bounds. o t FOOD AND RAILROADS. The discouraging war m s from r;rope is offSri by cheering news from American farm.. Nobody anticipated .such agricultural Mess.r.gs as ar reealed in the department of agriculture's lattsl report of crop renditions. As thev stood on Aug. 1. there is a reasonable expectation of larger production in nearly all the trie Ma pies- than was believed po-siMe a month ago. Th- corn crop will probably top ?,.0 OC.'i P 0 .e- C 0 bushels, suri astir.g tb.e recent air.i,;e and excvedri only by the bumper crops of 1 ; 1 7 and ll'IS. The v.ir.tcr wheat crop, thv.:cht rulrad a couple of month 4K, : turning out so well that the total wheat -J. oduction is p!acd at marly SOO.OCO.i't'u) bushels. urp.if",(t only thre t:ms. and much larger than the cn ;s of 13 lo and 1917. ("ats is better than last year. So are potatoes. Cotton promises mere than a million b.es above the estimate of July 1. Thn fruit situation is good, especially with regard to the important apple crop. It is not going to te a ser.s.u .or..il 'hum p r year." rut evlden'l it is worn? to be a t ry good year, better than lsukI, and j remising food for everybody In America with a c-t.-i ie: abl,. surplus to sell to whatever parts of the eld world are still unable to fe1 themselves. The American farmer, "while reproof around him rings" ;s doing his .w : joo of reconstruction quietly and effectiVrly as t;s.;ul. The result will be food in sutT'cient quant itus and at tower price? in t.11 sections of the land if the railroads are able to do their part, and distribute promptly and ef
fectively what the farmer have produced. It 1 now up to th rallrea.is. o SELFISH NEW YORK. New York City has protested to the federal hipjm'.g bo.ird gainst th diversion of some of the nation's export shipping to othr seaports. Fhe il-o objects strontrly to th deepening of the ft. I-awr'TiC" anal making it a more Hdequate outlet f-r '"anadian nnd American commerce. New York's motive is simple. It wants to monopolize the eountry's ocean s-hippln?. The derire is rompreher.sihle tnouch. and in a way, pardonable. Cities, .like rations, are seldom unselfish where economic interest is concerned. Where Is the city, big or little, that would voluntarily give up any of its business? Rut here is a situation that demands distribution. The metropoil cannot handle all the nation's Atlantic trade. Her water front l.s congested, her railway terminals are inadequate, her harbor is alwavs cripple j,y labor trouble. her charges are necessarily higher than thoe of many other seaports. And even if New York" were able to take care of everything, it is not for the country's ben interest that it foreign trade should thus be concentrated in one port, as it has beer, to so great an extent in the fast. It robs other ports of their du share. Worr-e Mill, it prevents the development of a system of outlets and inlets to serve th nee'ds of the various sections. The more seaports and the better access to them the country has, on the Atlantic, the Gulf and the Pacific, the better it will be for the country. New York will have to recognize the fact, and reconcile herself i,, petting no more foreign business hereafter than she is naturally qualified to handle. o STEAMSHIP SETS RECORD. The extraordinary development of airplanes eluring th- last decade has caused the world to look forward confidently to crossing the ocean comfortably, safely and cheaply at a speed of more than 100 miles an hour. The progress that has been made in aviation warrants the prediction that trans-Atlantic (lights will becom commonplace before a great many jears hav. nassed. It is grntifvir.g to not, however, tli.it wle we are waiting for the perf" :t ngof aircra'. ve a. t :-cL neglecting imrrovemen cf the carrier on vh'ch we arc at presen dependent for .ourney to Euroj e. The new record established by the Kloamship Aqultania. which has just completed a vojpge across the Atlantic with a spurt toward the c'ese of ; l n.iles an hour is a reminder of the power that has been developed in marine engines. To drive an enormous vessel like the Aquitania through the water at a speed exceeding half a mile a minute Is no small accomplishment.
AUGUST. What is the matter with August? It is the only long midsummer period of hot days, few showers nnd no holidays. There is not even a suggestion of a national celebration between Independence day and I .a bor day. August was not always the forgotten month of the year. In early times the name was unknown. When the year was divided into 10 months by the Romans the period of heat and humidity marked by dry rivers, lakes nnd creeks was called JSextilis. History saya it was Caesar who changed th. seasons and gave us the month of Augustus, now short-n-d to August. Why not consult the goddesses, Ceres, Pomona and Flora, and get a proclamation naming pome clay in August for a national festival, in commemoration of the cereals, fruits and flowers? Or why not Ret home fabled -mermaid-nymph to set apart a day for national nquatic sports nnd liVen up the month of August ?. There are enough days to sfare. the time between light and darkness Is long ami the danger In outdoor revelriej is not so prea as in some other seasons. August daya and .acation-time are too bright to be passed in the hum-drum of everyday existence.

Pon't take it for granted that the big army with which the Russian bolshevists are overwhelming the 1 ole.s is made up of Red disciples. The reason most of those soldiers are serving in Trotzky's army Is that it's the only place where they can get enough to eat. o If the campaign could only be fought cut In Ohio, what a lot of trouble and fu-vs would be saved to the rest of the country! But a lot of egotistic states are unwilling to let Ohio do their pivoting for them.

TARDY COXSKllVATIOX. ( Cleveland Pin In-Dealer.) The Audobon association is working actively for the re tea I of the bounty law in Alaska which provides for a payment of 0 cents for every American eagle killed within that territory. Since the passat; of the law nearly 9.000 eagles have been killed and the slaughter Ls still poing on at the rate of 200 birds a month. At the i.im session of the legislature an attempt was made to repeal the law. It failed, but perhaps the next time it will succeed. The secretary of the Alaska Fish and Game club, in a letter written in April, tells of the terrible, thoroughness of the slaughtering of these birds. A vast difference L noted in the number of this bird showing in southeastern and western Alaska, and it is a Kafe predict'on that if the slaughter continues for a few years longer the species will become practically extinct in this country." It would indeed a crime If the American eagle were driven from all his native haunts and left to u nnh in a few- stuffed specimens in natural history museums. Americans are too heedless about such things. Our wild flowers, our finest forests and the bird and nnlir.h! life of woods and fields are all considered of no importance until suddenly someone discovers that some particular species ia rapidly being tUped out. Then a frantic effort is made to save the remnants, but no lesson Is learned as to the need of exercising watchful car? that other forms of life and beauty may receive genuine protection bffcre it is too late.

FRIDAY Till TiriRTFFNTU. For fear something MIGHT happen on Friday, the i::th. we knocked off werk early and looked about tis.

V were chatting pleasantly on a street car track, and becoming interested in the conversation we failed to note an approaching car. Just about the time we were all to get killed and ground to pieces under the on rushing car, the trolley flew off. bringing the car to a full stop just beyond our Newark shoes.

Mil. KOIHX. When Mr. Robin came t town The year was young, the flowers were springing. And. gayly hopping up and down He spent the golden hours singing. And when he'd wooed and won a wife And looked up In the oak-tree's attic. He still proclaimed the joy of life In voeal melodies esctatic. Rut by and by the babies came. And feeding them cut down his leisure While life became a troubled game With little time to voice one's pleasure ; Rut still we sometimes heard from him. He'd chant a soft and crooning number. Pen-bed high upon the oak-tre limb Where rocked his little ones to slumber. Rut now n broken empty nest Deserted In the tree is swinging. The sunset still lights up the west Rut Mr. Robin isn't singing. He flies about from bough to bough To wait the waning of the sea sen. He has no heart for musi now, jv i i think I know the reason!

TRI X 111 Trixie is not merely the colloquial contraction of Reatriee as is generally supposed. In fact. Trixie was in vogue in Kn gland before Heat rice
' was used as a feminine poper name. It comes, of course, from I the Italian beator meaning "blrsser" i and came into existence through
Reatriee. which sprang full-crown and without antecedent into the usage of Diocletian's time, when a Christian maiden. so called was martyred and her relics later enshrined in a church at Rome. Reatrix became almost a national name in Italy, thanks to Dante, and Fngland oulckly acquired it. cut off the first three letters, in many instances and evolved the endearment, Trix. Shakespeare took the same name, changed the ending and called his high-spirited heroine. Reatriee. In Spain, it named many queens, but despite its association with rryalty and wdth the greatest romane- of literature, the quaintly abbreviated Trix persisted in England. The latter nppeared too curt to Yankee ears, which are accustom d to a diminutive ending in a owe-J. so Trixie came into exlste nee h re and continues to be popular, both as an independent name and as a contraction of the stately Reatriee. Trixie, 'Ike Reatriee. has an unusual stone as a talisman. It is tho basalt which is proof against danger and is especially valuable to the traveler. Thursday is her luck day and her lucky number.
