Close your eyes tight, Hnd think. Hard. This particular bit of medi tation will require all your concentration. Because you must Imagine yourself a fish - u regular fish, with a long tail. The fish, which Is you, is standing on the tip of its tali, tryiug to walk. Funny, isn’t It? Ha, ha. And yet, not a bit of it, because they do say that the ‘‘fish walk," resembling very much the operation that you are try ing to frame In your mind, Is the latest thing In dances, and that It Is on Its way to Atlanta. The "fish walk.” being groomed as a successor to the moribund “bunny hug" and the late lamented "grizzly .hear," has been auspiciously lntro- duced to society. It first was produced at a party In Washington society the other day, and acquired an Immediate and tremendous vogue. And It was not Introduced by an American. Madame Von Hcrwarth, wife of the military attache of the German embassy, was hostess upon the occasion of the Introduction of the “fish walk." and hence Is known generally as its sponsor. Hut as to the “fbh walk” Itself, here It Is explained simply: Face your partner. Stand erect, hold yourself rigid from the waist down, and dance on your toes. Yon see. you get. the fish Imagery plainer now, don't you? Take sixteen quick steps forward on your toes, a la Adelaide Genee. Tltey do say thnt the spectacle of a room full of “fish walkers” is wonderful. At the end of the sixteen forward steps, skip four times sideways. Go forwnrd again, and so on, until yoti have enough. It Is all very simple. The directions on the bottle say that it is danced quickly, about the same time as the “horse trot,” whatever that Is. Atlanta dancers, always progressive, have framed for themselves a code of instruction in the “fish walk." Hence, if you would be au fait, follow these: Forget the plebeian nature of the name. Call it, in the presence of the Iwst families, the "piscatoriul promenade," or the "aquarium amble,” never the "fish walk.” Take a pride In Atlanta’s collection of ballroom zoology, and learn to dance the new wrinkle. Think, ulways, that you are a fish. It may be easy, maybe not. Fltzhugh Knox, Mrs. H. A. Bancker, Jr. ST PHILIPS EPISCOPAL. Mrs W. N. Hawks, P. M. Chris tian. J. O. Burkhardt. EPHIPHANY EPISCOPAL.

May 3— Alfred Jones, sixteen years old, Is no longer “The Boy AVtth a Twisted Brain.” A skill ful surgical operation has relieved the pressure of the skull on the memory centers of hi* brain, and after years of Intellectual darkness he is be ginning to see the light Alfred was born on Christmas Day, 1896. seven months after the St. Louis tornado. Hie mother lived In the storm belt and received a severe ner vous shock as the result of the tor nado, though she was not physically Injured, but the fright had a parental Influence on the child. The operation was performed by Dr. Francis William Klrsch, at the Christian Hospital two weeks ago. In performing the operation Doctor Klrsch removed a section of the skull three inches In diameter. He found that the skull had been pressing on the memory canter of the brain, which Is the upper portion of the left lobe, snd that this pressure has caused centers of the brain to adhere to the skull. He loosed these adhesions, and with delicate surgical Instru ments untwisted the nerves and put them back Into normal position. UNITED STATES SENATOR’S DAUGHTER IS A SOCIALIST PORTLAND, ORE., May 3.—Friends of United States Senator Harry Lane, shocked at the conduct of his daugh ter, to-day sent him word that Mrs Nina McBride had blossomed out as u Socialistic soap-box orator on one of the principal streets of Portland. So ciety friends of the wealthy young woman, whose father was recently elected to the United States Senate, were astonished at the "unheard-of" conduct of Mrs. McBride. "You white-collared fellows!” shouted Mrs. McBride from her posi tion on the soap box, “get wise to what is going on In society to-day. Wake up and vote the Socialist ticket” AVIATOR DRAWS MAP AS HE FLIES OVER COUNTRY in WASHINGTON. May 3.—Second Lieut. Milling haa been designated by Major-Gen. Carter as 'one of the foremoat aviators of the world.” This high praise followed a fight from Texas City to San Antonio. 224 miles, and return. In which Lieut. Milling guided the aeroplane and Second Lieut Sherman was pasen- get and observer. Sherman made a rough map of the country passed over on the ret cm trip. This map a positive deni- i Id lltlcs of TALK ON SAFELY Sir Cecil Arthur Spring-Rice Knows Something About the Subject, Too. NEW YORK, May 3.—Imagine be ing a real ambassador to the United States from a country like England and yet so firmly bound by circum stances that the only subject on which you could talk with safety would be sports. Sir Cecil Arthur Spring-Rice in Just this predicament. The canal tolls controversy, The Hay-Paunce- fote treaty, the situation brought about by the fall of Scutari, world peace, or the Krupps are subjecta on which Sir Spring-Rice could talk rjid which any newspaper would be glad to print columns of, but being an ambassador is strictly a silent job. And Sir Spring-Rice la not going to break either precedent or silence. Sports, however is a subject with which the English diplomat is thor oughly conversant, and he was ex ceptionally strong in his praise of the American athletes in Sweden. Sir Cecil sat In a big chair in the library of Lawrence Godkln’s house, where he and Mr. Bryce are guesta, and, when not posing for his photo graph or looking after the disposi tion of his luggage, he conducted a process of elimination by which the list of subjects of which a newly ar rived diplomat may speak with grace and propriety narrowed down to ex actly one. That one he attacked in a manner at once cheery and diffuse. “You see,” he said, by way of pre face, “I am a diplomat and not a statesman, and we simply can’t—I mean to say, we’re absolutely forbid den to speak about these things. You'll find everything regarding my age and sex, and so on in the public prints, If you care for it—and I don’t see why you should. “Some day,” he said “you will be an Ambassador yourself, and then you will have your revenge.” Ambassador an Oxford Man. The Ambassador is a man of about the same height a« Mr. Bryce, rather under the medium, and his general build and manner of carriage show the effects of his athletic training in his youth. He is an Oxford man— Balliol was his college—-and he went in successfully for rowing. That was the subject on which he would talk —sports and athletics. “I come here from Stockholm," he went on—he has been Envoy Extra ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Sweden since 1908. "I saw the Olympic games there, and I was very much impressed with the victories of your splendid American team. I am sure that the methods of training and the discipline of your men will be a standard for the teams the other na tions send to future games. “It was a new idea to all of us, thb* strict military discipline, the bringing of the entire team over in one ship, and keeping a close watch on them, but the results proved its efficacy. The Swedes were astonish ed. They looked upon Americans as persons who go at things in a dashing, haphazard sort of way, and the sys tem and mqfhod in the management of your athletes fairly took their breath. “Why, the Americans appeared there, every man of them acting as if he were an archibishop, and the businesslike manner in which they went about the contests, the splendid team-work and esprit de corps, dem onstrated easily the superior merits of their system/' 81r Cecil likes baseball—indeed, there seems a strong probability that he will become a fan. When he was here before—he has been in this coun try fourteen times, by the way—he often went to the game and he knows Its fine points and regards It as a wholesome sport. He knows all about college rowing in this country too, and was pleased to learn that he has arrived in good time for the intercollegiate contests at Pough keepsie and New London. Here With Lord SackviHe. “T was here with Lord Sackviile, you know—that was a long time ago," he said, “and that reminds me of an amusing incident at the steamship pier when I went to meet him. Some of your newspaper men asked me about Lord SackviHe, and I said he was a minister—we were only a legation in Washington then—and, looking rather puzzled, one of them said he thought It rather strange that Great Britain would send over a clergyman, and asked what was his lordship’s denomination. “I remembered that yesterday when one of the ship’s officers asked me if I would pose for the newspaper pho tographers. I thought of playing a trick on them and having an English clergyman on board, whom I knew, impersonate me, for the purposes of the camera. It would have been a joke on them, wouldn’t it? But I decided it would be a little too hard on them, and, anyway, perhaps 1 couldn’t have persuaded the clergy man to join my conspiracy.” Sir Cecil’s title comes from his be ing a Knight Commander of St. Mi chael and St George, the order hav ing been ccreferred by the late King Edward in 1906. He is the second son of the Hon. C. Spring-Rice, and he was bom in 1859. Few diplo mats in the service have had a more widely extended service. He was a clerk in the War Office and in the Foreign Office, and was afterward precis writer to Lon! Rosebery. Aft erward he was Secretary of Embas sies at Brussels, Washington, Tokio, Berlin, and Constantinople. Then he was Charge d’Affaires at Teheran, British Commissioner of the Public Debt at Cairo. First Secretary of the Embassy at St. Petersburg, aiul Min ister end Consul-General to Persia.

Japs from California schols in 1908. Agreement Drawn Up. At the crisis of the disagreement Secretary of State Root and Mr. Tak- ahlra, the Japanese Ambassador, un dertook to draw up an agreement of five articles, which became known in diplomacy as “the gentleman's agree ment.” The articles contained nothing that was substantial, except that the United States and Japan agreed to advise each other of any future change in policy, and that pending questions should be regulated as far as possible by diplomatic and administrative methods. The impression which survived this agreement was that Secretary Root had made concessions to Japan, and the trouble blew over until it was possible to formulate and ratify the treaty of 1911. This consummation was one of the understandings be tween Mr. Root and Mr. Takahira on which the Immediate causes of fric tion were removed. Japan immediately went ahead with the formulation of the treaty as it now exists. It haa recently been shown that it wa» altogether one-sided. It gave to the Japanese certain rights in the United States, while the so-called rights of American citizens in Japan are contained in a law of the Jap anese Parliament of 1910, which the Mikado has shrewdly refrained from making effective. So far as the United States is concerned, it is null and void. High officials hero do not believe that Japan would regard as binding any decision by the United States Su preme Court on the alien land law which would be adverse to Japan. Japan’s whole contention will be for her pound of flesh, bargained for in the treaty of 1911. She will hold that treaty paramount to all laws and constructions of laws by the United States. At the utmost the United States courts could do no more than to de clare the California land law uncon stitutional. There Is no mandate of the Supreme Court that could compel a private citizen in the State of Cal ifornia to sell or lease his land to a citizen of Japan. The Impression prevails that Presi dent Wilson would use the whole power of the Government, invoking, if necessary. United States marshals and posses and the military arm of the Government to render effective a de cision of the courts against the Cali fornia Legislature. It is thought here that the omission of the “ineligible” clause offers th? slenderest possible basis for compro mise or conciliation. Every expression and intimation indicates that the Jap anese Embassy at Washington is vig orously opposed to the amended bill and that the Japanese Foreign Office at Tokio will promptly echo that op position. The whole attitude of our Government is one of preparation to meet the objections which are con fidently expected from that quarter. Upon the central Issue of war or peace there 19 a strong, confident note in the sentiment of capitalists and prominent citizens in Washington to. day*. The whole hope of a peaceful adjustment of this international con tention rests in the belief that the finances of Japan will not permit her to go to war. Everybody here believes that if Ja pan has the money to fight she will, but every information that touches international money centers seems to agree that, because Japan’s war chest is empty, her battle flags will be furled. U. S.-Japan War Talk Alarming to Europe. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, May 3.—The question of war between the United States and Japan is paramount in the minds of Europeans. That neither country is seeking war is the opinion of Major General Edward P. Meaney, former Judge advocate general of New Jer sey', who has just returned to Lon don after a three months tour of European countries. General Meaney said: “There Is an unseemly haste on the part of the English newspapers to condemn the political situation in the United States. This is because they have no comprehension of the country in general nor of its politics. It is also due to the English prej udice toward the United States. “Japan is not seeking warfare with any country, chiefly because she is in no condition financially to do so. The national debt there is enormous. “Unless something bordering on a miracle happens, there is likely to be a great alteration in the map of Europe within the next six months.” White City Park Now Open Mississippi Woman, Heavily Arm ed, Barricades Herself in Home and Defies Sheriff’s Posse. STARKVILLE, MISS., May S.—Mrs. Renzy Barron, wife of a farmer two miles south of here, became cruzed at noon to-day, shot and killed her husband, then fatally wounded the baby, sitting in a high chair. A negro girl escaped from the house and said the woman had barri caded herself behind locked doors. She has a Winchester rifle, four shot guns and two pistols, and is defying the sheriff and ten deputies. She yelled through a half-open window that she would kill the first man who started toward the house. Officers have laid siege to the place and will attempt to starve the wom an into submission. J.

Writer in Legal Magazine Attacks Prosecution of Millionaire as Outrage on New York. NEW YORK, May 3.—Under the caption, “Justice Demanded for Har ry K. Thaw," the current Issue of The Southern Bench and Bar Review de nounces the legal methods that have been used to keep Harry K. Thaw at Matteawan. The tactics have been such, the writer declares, that they "seriously reflect upon the bar of . New York.” ’ ' "A Jury trial has been denied to I Thaw,” the writer adds. “A committee of the bar associa tion at the Instigation of a few gen tlemen of the Jerome type have at tempted an amendment of the law so as to prevent successive writs of habeas corpus in Thaw's behalf. “Harry K. Thaw Is entitled to a Jury trial as to his sanity to-day. _ The fact that he is wealthy should “ not weigh against him. Neither should the fact that certain people of wealth have been anxious to hush up their connections with the late Mr. White. “The action of the State and for mer Prosecuting Attorney Jerome in fighting this man's release Is unfair and evidence of undue Interest.” STODDARDIZE!
