10 N e —————— e —— —— e CUPID'S GOURT T0 CONVENE THURSDAY Meeting Place Secret--Interna- tional Work Projected | Hammonton, N, J, Aug This tewn s full of excitement again, Tom Delker announced today that in spite of his and Lew Conley's enemies and | traducers Cupld's court is due to con vene Thursday night and Tom t tell where, That's what is causing all the furore. 1olks wouldn't mind half so much If they only knew where the court's going to sit Moreover there is going to be a jury and neither Tom nor Lew will tell who they are. Everybody is looking | suspiciously at everybody else. Your correspondent has spent most of the day near Lew's cigar store and the of- | fices of the South Jersey Star which | Tom edits, but not word could be got about the place meeting and the personnel of the jury You never saw a couple men like *Tom and Lew were today. Tom | would come over to Lew's and wink | apd then Lew would walk down Bel- | levue avenue with Tom and they'd | have a conference. After one of these | conferences they announced that no reporters or other busybodies were | going to be allowed in on Thursday night. Tom is a newspaper man him- | self, but he says he is all fed up with | reporters, Today Tom said that he and Lew | have 2,400 letters from men and women looking for wives and hus- bands and that he's not going to de- sert them. He wouldn't talk much for publication, saving that if there( is any news to be sent out he'll send it himself, being an editor and know- | ing how. But he did say that hPfl working out a plan to match up a lot i of Canadians with an equal number | of Americans who live near enough | to the Canadian border to make courting possible The court is going to handle a num- ber ‘of war-broken hearts. Tom hand- ed out a copy of a letter from a Can- | dadian soldier whose wife deserted him while he was fighting in the trenches. He says the letter is typical and that the situation presents a pretty tough | problem?! But who is going to be judge and who is on the jury, not to mention where the court's going to be held, are questions that have this | town pretly well upset tonight. COALPROBLEM FOR NEXT YEAR SERIOUS Industries Unable to Secure Their Needed Supply Philadelphia, Aug. 23 —With the | hard coal parleys broken up as a re- sult-of the inability 6f miners and operators to agree on the arbitration problem, those anxious for peace in| the anthracite flelds today commented upon the fact that the door was left open for future negotiations in the statement issued jointly by the nego- tiators. This statement, laconic as those issued upon the conclusion of the four prévious sessions, announced that the conference w unable to agree and that it had adjourned m‘ meet at the call of the secretary upon the request of either side. The operators today were pointing to the appeal with which they pre- faced -the terms of their first pro-| posals in which they said that a seri- ous shortage of anthracite has been created already and that further idle- ness would simply aggravate the situa- tion, and in the end force the house- holder to use other fuel temporarily to “the ultimate detriment of the in- dustry and those it employs. won | | of of | | NOT A BOY—A GIRL Baby Had Becn Called a ‘““He" For Week—Turns Out to be a “She” ..

The major said that the approved position in dancing for the lady wus when the latter has her left thumb against the right shoulder If the |gentleman takes to hugging the out- raged lady can, in such position, press him back to a circumspect perpendic- ,vlar with her thumb. “1 went out among your New York cafes and cabarets last night,” eaid Miss Walz, “and I saw the Chicago, the Washington Johnny, the cheek to jowl, the shimmy, the camel and all the rest of the ingrown grappling titat been incorporated under much term dancing. let me dispose of this §0-20 responsibility the major The dear major i{s wrong. proposition.

Dancing by Rule of Thumb, As to the use of the thumbs in dancing, 1 shall_iliustrate with this young man whom I have designated as being the most graceful of you. In fact, he is the most graceful re- porter I have ever seen. Until I in- spected you ladies and gentlemen | had given that honor to a Mr. Dimond, Philadelphia newspaper man.” The most t I} 1 1 t t J P graceful reporter was something of a disappointment It wag clear that he had learned his dancing in Tammany Hall of winter's evenings, His idea of dancing was to take your girl and dance and let the others fall where they may. He seized Miss Walz with his right arm and snatehed her to himself. He grasped her right wrist with his left hand and to the tune of "Kitten on the Keys" streaming from a phonograph in the east ballroom, executed what is P known south of Fourteent street as the Summer Squask? & L “Splendid!” gasped Miss Walz Splendid! As I have said, the effi- cient and proper. use of the thumbs in dancing is (gasp) little less im- portant than the graceful (gasp) use of the feet You will observe that when 1 (gasp, gasp), a frail woman try pressing back my escort by exert- ing pressure (gasp) ?nh my thumb upon his shoulder thdt I merely en- rage him and he (gasp) hugs me tighter ‘But when I place the thumb thus ' and here she moved the ball of her thumb to the tip of the graceful reporter's nose ‘‘-——and press upyward vigorously, he steps back. And if I move my thumb to my partner's eye and press and turn at the same time I am free. It is much more efficient which is awkward to carry and quite dargerous. The lady does not desire to kill her hug ging partner, but merely disconcert and if necessary detach him.” The graceful reporter was helped to a chair and Miss Walz proceeded to describe her latest dance inven- tions-~the college trot and the Ameri can tango. And that seemed to be about all the news to issue from the dancing conveation yesterday, except that the International association adopted a resolution of tbenks to ”“| ) P h 3 a n fi by a a \ ti 1 ¥ N n & latest and broader stand on the ques- {sons to sit thete on the table wh lh-}lxun of dancing.
