How do they do it? That is the question that has occurred to mz who have formed audience at the public dance that occurs nightly at the platform near the courthouse. Night after night the same young women are seen dancing steadily from 9 o'clock until midnight. There are no intermiss and these| girls never mis The question how do| they stand the s ? It is assumed that they are oc-| cupied at something during the day. Employed at} home or in shop or office. If so situated, they must @rise at something like o'clock in order to get breakfast and to work by 8. they must work for them and they are therefore busy} until at least 5 or 6 o’clock in the afternoon. It is then home to dinner. If they do not help prepare the meal they at least assist in washing the dishes. Then it is a visit to the movies, to be followed by three hours strenuous exercise at the dance platform. This is the routine followed day after day. If you are observing you know these to be the facts for you see the same girls in stores and offices at their work during business hours. You see them go to the mov- ies an4 you see them at the dances) Sey they leave the dance at 11:45 or 12. Allow an hour and a half to reach home, bid their escort good night, fix their complexion, brush their hair, say their prayers and retire, It is then anywhere from 1 to 1:30 in the morning. Say 1 o’clock for conven- ience. That will Jeave barely six hours for rest. Is that sufficient for a young person. How do they get away with it? They don’t. Here is an instance. Yesterday a gentleman went into a certain store to make a purchase. The young lady at the counter was at the time sitting on a coun- ter stool, she had to be awakened before the custom- er could make his wants known. She was plumb done up, She is one of them who has been traveling the route outlined above for the past week, possibly longer. How long she expects to hold her present job we have mo idea. She will not likely hold it. In all probability someone else will be occupying her place about next Monday morning. There is no objection to dancing. It is a healthful and proper exercise and if reasonably indulged with proper associates no harm can come of it. But why attempt to put over all the dancing there is in one brief season? Why must it be made a part of the daily program? In short, why carry it to the ex- treme? The enjoyment certainly loses its edge when in- dulged so frequently. It would seem, that however enthusiastic, the dancer he would become surfeited and a pleasurable exercise would turn to drudgery. Then the loss of beauty sleep soon tells on the fresh and attractive person pearance. This fact is one explanation of the large sale and popularity of cosmetics. In other words who dances must pay the fiddler. And the fiddler is certainly exacting his recompense in the town of Casper, Wyoming. More’s the pity, for Casper has an unusual number of very beautiful young girls growing up who are devoting more time to dancing and late hours than they are to beauty sleep and their beauty will not endure the strain.

Under the conditions of the Versailles treaty Ger-|; many is required to punish her own officers and men y of violation of the rules of civilized warfare 3elgium, France and Britain presented long lists of names of Germans thus offending; and recently the yerman government began to bring the indicted men before the court at Leipsig for trial. The first to be tried was an unimpo! nt ommissioned officer who was found guilty of heinous crimes committed in Belgium and sentenced to fifteen months imprison- ment. Murder was among the least of his offenses. Others charged with equally artocious acts, subse- quently brought before the court have been acquit- ted and of course the rest of the list will receive the ame favor. A finding of guilty in the first case was the.usual German bunk. Such a thing as good faith where German interests large or small are concerned as been out of the question since 1914; and it is ply one more instance of the short-sightedness on the part of the allies. That is all of the allies ex- cept France. France placed no trust in Germany and wasted no sympathy on her. France was right. She sees that Germany does not intend to punish her war criminals. The world can well imagine how the failure of the Leipsig court to deliver justice would be received by rance; and action was not long delayed. Germany ved prompt notification that France would con- ue to occupy the Rhine region until a rigid com- pliance with the treaty terms was shown in good faith and that France stood ready to demonstrate that she had the strength and will to enforce complete per- formance of duty on the part of Germany. What Germany will do, the future will disclose, but it is suspected that "quite a lot of well known German coundrels will shortly begin to get what is coming i them. oS NEGLECT INEXCUSABLE. There, is of course, much exaggeration in many of the statements respecting the care ex-service men are receiving in federal hospitals at the hands of the government. The degree of neglect is not a subject for argument. There should be,no neglect at all. Neglect is inexcusable. It is a duty owed by the gov- ernment, to take the best of care of its disabled veterans. Whatever of truth there is in the charges made in behalf of the veterans, the government will set about to correct the shortcomings of the service in charge. The disabled veteran himself will scarcely believe that his government intentionally neglected him in his misfortune brought about by serving that govern- ment. No government on earth has shown the hu- manity and liberality toward its disabled defenders than the government of the United States. If half that has been said of conditions that obtain in hospitals where veterans are being cared for, is true, it is most unfortunate and surely there is re- sponsibility somewhere along the line that can be reached and correction made that will serve as an ex- ample for all time. cesses ee A MODERN CARAVAN. Much has been written about the modern caravan comprising a hundred and twenty-five families, w leaves Brooklyn, N. Y., on July 28, the members to take up a new life of agriculture in Twin Falls county, Idaho.

The governor made it mandatory that all members of the colony must be a 100 per cent American.
