Do you know,,you disciples of Terp
sichore, that when you twist and
squirm, and whirl, and dip, and duck,
and shrug your shoulders,'and wiggle,
and do the thousand and one other
things that popular opinion has asso
ciated with the latest dances, that
you are not dancing the tango nor
yet the turkey trot, but an adaption
of the rag. a sort of combination of
the turkey trot and the barroom rag
in which the steps of the latter pre
dominate?
It’s a fact!
I* rank Hale and Tnez Patterson
headliners at the Forsyth this week,
with a tangoing and turkey-trotting
act. say so—and they ought to know.
They ar? giving in Atlanta this week
their first performance after an Eu
ropean tour of several months. Hale
claims to be the champion rag and
Texas Tommy dancer of the world
"The real tango Is r.ot danced at
all in the United States," they say.
"It “is not danced anywhere but in
Paris and London and Buenos Ayres
that is?, it is not. danced correctly.
There are a few couples in New York,
whom we recently saw, who have the
right steps, and who will be able to
dance the real tango soon. We used
to think we danced the tango, until
we went to Europe and saw* the real
dance that was introduced in Paris
by dancers from South America. The
tango came originally from Buenos
Ayres, in the Argentine Republic, and
is now danced all over Europe, es
pecially in London and Paris.
"The tango that is danced in Amer
ica bears little resemblance to the
real tango. It is a sort of an adap
tion of the old rag dances and the
Texas Tommy: a combination of the
turkey trot and the barroom rag. with
the latter predominating. There are
no whirls, and exaggerated dips and
throwing of the woman In the real
tango: it is a dance almost as smooth
and graceful as the waltz. In place
of the dips that Americas put in
the tango there should be but the
slightest bending of the knee; it is
more of a walk to music than any
thing else.
"Whatever may be said of the
American ta.ngo, the real tango 19
no immodest. When American danc
ers learn the beauties of the real
tango, they will discard the rough
n^t immodest. When American danc-
adopt the real dance."
Mis.* Patterson declared that in her
opinion the tango will enjoy greater
popularity in the North than <n the
South, because Southern music is not
so “raggy" and is more dreary and
soothing than the music of the North.
Overcrowding Forces Students at
Girls High to Find Seats on
Window Sills.
Continued from Page 1.
only real solution was the building
of new’ school houses aoout the city
where they are most needed.
At the meeting of the principals
some of the children in the most
crowded schools will be transferred
to schools in contiguous districts
where there is plenty of room or
where the congestion is not so
marked.
Moreland Ready Soon.
The Moreland Avenue School rap
idly i3 being placed in shape for the
reception of students and within two
or three weeks it will be possible to
transfer five grades, three from the
Inman Park, Edgewood Avenue and
Highland schools, none of which have
sufficient accommodiations for all
their pupils.
This, however, will not fully re
lieve the congestion in these three
schools and the conditions are very
likely to be exactly as bad as they
are now within another 'two or three
years.
Three grades in the Inman Park
School are kept in the basement.
There is no other place for them in
the building. It has been a question
either of keeping the children in these
unpleasant, if not insanitary, sur
roundings or of giving them no In
struction at all. The basements also
are used at the State Street School
and at the Grant Park School.
Girls Sit in Windows.
An S. O. S. call for more room and
more desks came to Superintendent
Slaton from the Girl’s High School
during Tuesday forenoon. All rec
ords for fir?’t week attendance had
been broken and the girls were sit
ting on window* sills and rostrums
pending the arrival of more desks.
The attendance at the girl’s school
on the first day last year was 637.
This year it was 673. with 52 more
taking entrance examinations. Miss
Jessie Muse, the principal, estimated
that 700 would be enrolled by the
end of the week, the high-water mark
in the history of the school.
The attendance at the Tech High
School is beginning to crowd the ac
commodations and within two or
three years, if the school continues to
grow’ with the leaps and bounds it
ha?i experienced since its removal
from the High School building, larger
quarters will be needed.
Tech Also Grows Rapidly.
When the removal was made at the
suggestion of Superintendent Slaton
the enrollment was 75. It IS now 237
and growing rapidly. That it will
reach 500 within three or four years
is the confident prediction.
Among the districts most needing
new' school buildings at once, ac
cording to the superintendent, are the
Ninth Ward. East Atlanta, where
about 30 children have to walk a
mile and a half to the Faith SchooL,
Ansley Park. South Atlanta and
Pittsburg. New quarters also are
needed for the English-Commercial
High School and better facilities are
needed at the Summer Hill Negro
School.
Superintendent Slaton is much
gratified at the evidence of the pop
ularity of Atlanta’s school system
with the parents and children.
Urges the City to Act.
He expressed Tuesday the wish
that steps would be taken at once
more fully to provide for the care
and instruction of the children that
are applying for admission to the
schools. m
Among the schools which have re
ported overflows on the first day are:
State Street. 28; Fraser; 12; Inman
Park. 23; Formwalt, 60; Williams, 5;
Peeples, U4; Grant Park, 6; Lee, 7:
Pryor. 56; North Avenue. 3; W. F.

Dalton Ghost Draws
Coffin on Bed Sheet
DALTON, GA... Sept. 10.—From

IS PASSED IK
SENATE
Progressives LaFollette and Poin
dexter Join the Democrats
and Vote for Bill.
WASimrGTON, Sept. 10.—The Un-
derwood tariff reunion bill has passed
the Senate and is now in the hands of
a conference committee, which will
within two weeks adjust the differ
ences between the Senate and the
House measures.
The tariff bill as passed by the Sen

visions, including free sugar and free
raw wool, but revised other rates
still further downward. The aver
age advalorem rate in the bill now
is approixmately 26 per cent, a de
crease of 28 per cent from existing
rates and nearly 4 per cent lower
than the House rates.
The Senate’s additions to the House
free list with 1912 as a basis will
cost the Government more than $44,-
000,000, but by adding a tax of one-
tenth of 1 cent a pound on cotton
for future delivery, a tax on banana*
of one-tenth of 1 cent a pound; re
storing tlje requirement of a full
Internal revenue tax of $1.10 a gallon
on brandies used to fortify wines and
by increasing the sur-tax rates on
large incomes, Senate leaders believe
they have provided an actual increasa.
The Senate made these other Im
portant changes:
Lowered the normal exemption
from the 1 per cent income tax from
$4,000 to $3,000 for single persons,
with exemptions for wives and de
pendent children; exempted the in
comes of mutual insurance compa
nies which revert to the benefit of
stockholders; Increased graduate sur
tax on large incomes to a maximum
of 6 per cent on those more than
$500,000.
City Incomes Exempted.
Exempted incomes of municipali
ties derived from operation of public
utilities and changed the date from
which the tax shall be computed for
first year from January 1 to March 1,
1913.
Free list cattle and other .live stock,
w’heat, hair of the angora goat and
some agricultural products; restored
oat meal and rolled oats to the duti
able list and provided an elaborate
inspection of meat imports.
Reduced House rates on woolen
manufactures to become effective
January 1, 1914.
Provided in the sugar schedule for
immediate abolishment of the Dutch
standard test; postponed operation of
proposed reduced rates until March 1.
3914. leaving the provision unchanged
for free sugar in May, 1916.
Slightly increased rates on finer
cotton goods, reclassifying the whole
cotton schedule and changing the silk
schedule from an ad valorem to a
specific basis.
Provided for an administrative
gforce to handle income tax collections
w ithout regard to requirements of the
civil service.
Struck out a countervailing duty on
wood pulp.
Greatly reduced rates of the metal
schedule.
President Can Retaliate.
Struck out many reform provisions
in the administrative section; re
jected the anti-dumping clause: the 5
per cent tariff reduction on imports
in American vessels and the require
ment for inspection of books of for
eign manufacture in undervaluation
cases; but added a provision giving
the President authority to retaliate
against nations wihch discriminate
against Amreican goods by proclaim
ing increased rates on certain goods;
adopted a provision excluding goods
manufactured chiefly by child labor,
and provided for the creation of a
commission to revise the customs
laws.
Important additions to the free list
included:
Antimony ore. limestone rock, as
phalt, asphaltum and bitumen, fabrics
of jute yarns, wool blankets valued at
less than 40 cents a pound, text
books, sugar machinery, cast iron
