President of the Daniel Guggeu 4 heim Fund for Promotion of Aero- nautics, told the Associated Press “By stunt flights I mean flights that do nothing for the advanes- ment of aviation,” said Mr. Gug- genheim. “The flight may merely accomplish precisely what anoths= flight has already done with tha same inferior equipment and witl a stunt flier.

Dancers Needn t Move in 2027; Drugs and Lights Are to Give the Rhythm LONDON, Sept. S8.-—Ballrooms and night club habitues of the future will enjoy their dancing sitting down, thinks Professor A M. Low. who has been taking a scientific peek into the future of the human race. There will be little use for legs or arms, he contends, because i the age of the future almost every thing will be done by machinery. It will be a pill age, when all food will be concentrated and a meal will go down with one guip But rhythm will be sought as long as the human brain functions properly, and on this account, Pro- fessor Low points out, men ani women will never get over their fondness for dancing, though it may be taken Jn quite a ditferent form of that of today--which ha: its disadvantages owing to tho physical exertion of keeping time with the band. “In the distant future, when constant disuse will have strophied our legs, we shall probably take our dancing sitting quietly, while drugs and revolving lights-give us all the sensation of rhythm with- out the stuffy aimosphere of the ballroom and the cafes,” Profcsser Low asserts. The minute research of modern scientists enables them to roalize the remarkable part played by rhythmical motion in the univorse, he says. " “Present day dancing is morely ) { the result of war time hyst:oria,’ avers the Professor. “Women, in particular, are cenerally more or less hysterical at the end of a dance which has excited them ava chased the cares of life into oh- livion. “This period will pass, and we shall find that more and more intoxicating effects, such as sweet perfumes, oscillating floors, and curious before we can enjoy rhythm. = “Dancing there will always but it cannot long remain as it | now—a mere concession to m ical disability. The time will I believe, when we shall cease to find pleasure in it unless it accompanied by injections, vii massage, and speed " )8 “I look forward to the when it will be mnlbb‘ cast foods will be neceisary & /8
