THE GEORGIAN'’S NEWS BRIEFS.
NEW YORK, May 6.—The genuine
and only real American dance has
made its appearance. It is a mod
ernized version of the Hopi Indian
girl's debutante dance and is called
the Kachina,
Albert Van Sand has made the few
changes 'necessary to adapt it for
modern ballrooms. Seen in his stu
dio, Mr. Van Sand said: “It really
was not a very easy matter to adapt
an Indian dance, with its bizarre
monotony, inte an acceptable dance
that would fit into the accepted mod
ern requirements. There were so
many things to consider, not the least
to conform the Indian jumps into the
modern glide, and yet retain the at
mosphere of the dance. Some of its
ardent admirers have dubbed it the
Indian maxixe. It is really easier to
learn and even more graceful, I think,
as it not only requires grace to dance
it, but develops and creates it. The
Kachina consists of only five steps—
the Indian step, little run, hopi step,
butterfly step, and the worship step.
Throughout the dancers maintain a
slightly crouching position. With the
exception of two of the steps they are
holding each other around the, waist,
side by side,
“The first step, the Indian, is so
called because it represents the alert,
watehful step of the red man. Little
run is a short, quick run, which in its
original form was a jumpy sort of
high step, with a decided stamp on
each beat. Of course, | had to elimi
nate the jump, and the stamp simply
finishes each littie run. 1 called the
next step the hopi. It ig one the In
dians use while marching around the
fire.
“These three steps are of somewhat
similar execution, though of different
tempo. The prettiest movement is
the butterfly step, depicted in the pie
ture, It is a graceful, airy, sinuous
dance which is supposed to represent
the flight of a butterfly. The wor
ship, and last step, represents the
sun-worship attitude of the Hopi In
dian.
“The whole dance is done in slow
one-step time to the weird, monoto
nous and yet seductive music of the
Indian.”

Declares It Would Be Colossal
'
Blunder and Triumph for
British Diplomacy.
WASHINGTON, May 7.--Entering
his solemn protest against what ho
conceives to be a betrayal of the
American people, Senator O'Gorman,
of New York, chairman -of the Senate
Committee on Interoceanic Canals,
and reported author of the free tol's
plank of the Baltimore platiform, in
the Senate to-day declared that tho
repeal of the free tolls clause of the
Panama Canal act would be pro
nounced by mankind “a colossal
blunder and a triumph of British di
plomacy.”
He asserted that the British claim
had neither law nor justice on its
side, and he held President Wilson
and the Democratic Administration to
account for their abandonment of the
free tolls plank., National honor, he
held, must be founded upon national
self-respect.
Makes Three Points.
Senator O'Gorman made his plea
upon three main points, He sought
to show, first, that the exemption of
Anierican coastwise vessels from pay
ment of tolls is a wise economic policy
not affected by the Hay-Pauncefole
treaty; second, that if coastwise ves
sels fall within the terms of the treaty
the exemption still does not violate
that instrument; third, that the treaty
does not apply to the Panama Canal,
“because it was meant to apply enly to
a canal built on alien soil, while the
Panama Zone is under American sov
erelgnty.
In support of these contentlons,
Senator O’Gorman marshaled an im
- posing array of authorities on tha
economics of American commerce, {ho
history of the negotiation of the treaty
itself and the interpretation of the
treaty's terms,
“We owe no debt of gratitude to
England,” sald O’'Gorman. "“We exist
'as a nation not because of her friend
ship, but in spite of her hostility.
Gratitude of Liberty to Tyranny.
“If we owe her any expression of
gratitude, it is that which liberly
owes to tyranny for opportunity-—the
opportunity to wring from oppression
a permanent separation and a glori
ous independence,
_“This bill is misnamed. It shouid
be entitled ‘A bill to exalt British
commerceand destroy American ship
ping,’ or ‘A bill to expand the glory
'nf the British Empire and humiliate
the United States'
| “When I think of the greatness of
| this nation, and, above all, its mighty
| army -of _intelligent, liberty-loving
people, and when I contemplate what
its genius and its sacrifices have done
for the enlightenment and happin-ss
of mankind, I am not surprised that
the American people stand aghast at
the ~roposal that we yield supine obe
dience to a monarchy beyond the
gea.”
Canal Will Open to
WASHINGTON, May 7 ~—Commerce
will move through the Panama Canal
for the first time about May 10, when a
string of canal barges carrying the
sugar cargo of the Steamship Colum -
bian of the Hawailan-American Line,
now at Balbao, wiil be towed through
the waterway.
| Hints for the
Household
To wash woolen stockings so that
they will not shrink is quite easy,
First shred some yellow soap into a
gmall tin saucepan, cover it with cold
water, and let all boil slowly on the
stove till a jelly., Take some tepid
water, and with the bolled soap make
a good lather. Wash the stockings in
this, rubbing well and using no other
soap. Rinse in tepid clear water,
wring out, and set in the air to dry
quickly,
To ascertain whether a room is
damp or not, place a weighed quanti
ty of fresh lime in an open vessel in
the room and leave it there for 24
hours, carefully cloging the windows
and doors. At the end of the 24
hours reweigh the lime, and if the in«
crease exceeds 1 per cent of the orig
inal weight it is not safe to live In
the room.
