SPEAKERTO SHOW EUROPEAN DANCES Prof. Pospisil of Czechoslo- vakia to Appear Before Anthropologieal Society. Prof. Francis Pospisil, curator of the ethnograbhical department of the Mo- ravian State Museum at Brno, Czecho- slovakia, will gfve an illustrated lecture on “Scotch Sword Dances apd Other European War Dances” before a meet- ing of the Anthropological Society of Washington at 4:45 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in the auditorium of the Na- tional Museum. Dr. Pospisil, for many years an en- thusiastic student of folk dances in Scotland, France, Italy, Germany, Rus- sia and other European countries, is in America to make first-hand study of the war dances of the American Indian. He expects to visit them in thé near future upon reservations in the West. Dancing, he says, is a form of racial expression like music or language and basically is the same in various parts of the world. Dr. Pospisil’s lectures on the American Indian’s war dances won him the friendship of Chieff White Eagle Horse of the Osages, and when he ar- rived in New York City recently he was enthusiastically welcomed by & number of American Indians. The lecture will be accompanied by & showing of films depicting the vari- ous dances Dr. Pospisil made the films himself during his studies which have extended back over the past 20 years. ‘While in New York, the visitor lectured before Columbia University students in their auditorium and before several sclentific_societies. He is bearing his own expenses and came to America without any idea of personal gain. Ordered to Europe. ‘Two members of the United States Foreign Service, on duty at the State Department, have been ordered to sta- tions in Europe. John G. Erhardt of | Bi ooklyn, N.

Wo ‘STEAM REMOVER’ SALES. BEES EMPTY TOWN LEAVE TRAIL FOR POLICE|gi;e Department Finally Routs il “Champion” Soap Peddler Sought After Collecting 30 Cents Per Bar fbr Product. bm By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, December 18.—The Bet- ter Business Bureau was calling him “the world’s champion soap salesman,” and although his name and address were unknown, his methods, officials said, left a fairly clean trail to follow, He started at a beauty shop, where he placed an order for elght mani- cures, eight facials, eight shampoos and eight of every other beauty process. He let it be known that they were for “eight bridemaids,” who would come in later. Then he sold the beauty parlor a package of soap that “will take the steam off your windows.” Next, at a bakery in the same block, he ordered a wedding cake and sold a package of “s Mmmover " Then he went to another ordered a layette and incidentally sold another package. The only difficulty was that he didn't r‘y for anything he ordered, but col- lected cash at 30 cents a bar for the “steam remover.” I ARMY ORDERS I Maj.
