EVENING LEPGEB PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1914, x 0 Scnt .V, .1 in i"i Kill llilMJ)Hlty)v MNCIM MASTERS FIND THE FOX TROT EASIEST FOR PUPILS i JVIore Natural Than Lu Lu I Fado, La Russe, Etc., and Therefore More Likely to 1 Survive. Uv "Which of all the new dances that have cropped Up during the summer will ti danced generally enotiRh to make It worth while for me to bo to somo trouble and expense to learn them?" One of the best dancing teachers In the city was naked this question y one of his fair pnlrohs a day or two ago. "I nm not," she went on, "a very good dancer lcally, you know. Not gooJ enough for It not to be very hard for me to pick up new steps. Last winter 1 ppent hours trying to get the Idea of the 'half and half,' only to find that Just ns I was getting fairly proficient It luul teased to be popular and all my work had Rone for nothing "Now, of nil these strange dnnces with utranger names Lu Lu Fado, Ta-Tao, La Kusse and the like wjileh shall I learn?" "Well," replied the Instructor, "the best answer I can give you Is that an long an there seems to bo any question about -which Is the one to learn, don't learn any." ADVISBS THE FOX TROT. ''In confidence," he added, "for I don't want to spoil my own business, r think that of the entire lot the only one wortit while for the average dancer to learn Is the Fox Trot. She will find that she won't really have to learn that: It will come so easily and naturally. And that Is the real test of popularity. "These periodic hysterical dashes nfter new steps. Inespectlvo of their merits. Is the most unfortunate phase of the dancing crnze. All the dances you men tioned arc beautiful when '!! done, but the Idea of considering them as adapted to a ballroom full of tlanccts Is absurd. "The Tn Tno was never meant to bo done any way but In Chinese costumi. Then It It quaint and Interesting as a novelty, otherwise It Is a burlesque. The Lu Lu Fado Is no more extreme than the Maxlxc, but how many people did you ever see who could do the Maxlxe really well? The same It true of La Russe. They will probably all bo danced more or lesq. hut the times when they will really afford pleasure to either the per formers or spectators will be very few and far between. NATURAL DANCES THE BEST. "If theio never had been any dances but the strango ones, as you call them, wo would never have had this dancing craze. It found Its Inspiration In the one-step and the waltz-canter nnd other natural, easy dances, which anybody can do and do without thinking. "As my final woul of advice never do any dance that makes you conspicuous or diaus undue attention to yourself, un less ou are quite suro it Is because you are dancing extraordinarily well, rather tnan because you are attempting some thing nobody else had the nervo to try." GARD SYSTEM'PLANNED TO LESSEN INFANT DEATHS Framed Advice to Mothers Will be Placed Conspicuously. Advice to mothers, on cards placed In conspicuous places In back alleys and courts. Is the unique process of education Planned to reduce Infant mortality by the Child Federation. This was announced at the annual meeting of the organization this afternoon at the Bellevue-Strntford, by Albert Cross, Its managing director. Edward W. Hok, president of the associa tion, presided at the meeting. "H Is proposed," said Mr. Cross, "to erect at least 300 Iron frames In conspicu ous places In the back alleys and courts of our city. In these frames will be placed printed cards giving instruction to moth ers regarding care of their babies. "We Intend to have a series of 12 card to go In the frames. These will bo placed In different climatic seasons In the .TOO localities they nre Intended to serve. The care of babies In hot or cold weather will be thoroughly delineated as well as proper clothing and food to bo given Infants." This new departure of the Federation was outlined In the annual report read by Sir, Cross and enthusiastically received by members. At the conclusion of the report of the managing director, addresses were made by Mr. Bok and A. P, Gerhard, the treasurer. Four new members were elected on the Hoard of Directors.

' J PANAMA REJECTS V, S. PLAN Spruce street, west of Broad. In the opinion of real estate men, will cling to Its residential traditions for years to come. The Inroads made by business In Wal nut street, where two dressmaking es tablishments have located between Twen tieth nnd 21st street, when It was con fidently predicted only last year that tho business fraternity would never pass Rlt tenhouso Square are a sharp reminder that little remains centrally that Is not being rapidly taken up by the increase of commercial need. Up to date Spruce street Is a home and dvclilng section, and while hero and thcro business of higher class has found a foot hold, It can still be said to be owned by those desiring solid comfort nnd quiet. Not more than a decade ago the char acteristic of the street was the typical red brick house, with white trimmings and marble steps: some may yet be found; love of things as they were, rather than architectural development, Is ytt to be found. Gradual change began some years ago and fronts were taken down and replaced to conform to mod ern Ideas. Today the result Is more than satisfactory. Spruce street is kept In good repair. When the deadly summer appearance of hermetically sealed houses for blocks has pased, the painters take possession. Above Broad street In July, 1911. H10 Spruce street was sold by the estate of I. W. Durham to S. M. Brooks, lot 20 by 149, for $55,000. It had been purchased iy the sollor In May, 1905, for $62,000, and more than $30,000 was spent upon It. Jan. uary, 1911, U26 Spruce street was sold for $53,000. West of Fifteenth street there have been no recent sales, and there are seveial piopertles rather pressing for sale to set tle estates. Theie hae been no tiansfi-rs of special note until the 1900 block Is reached. On December 11. 1911. ISM Spruce street, a four-story dwelling wltl lot 41 feet front and a depth of 1S7 feet to Del.anrcy street, was sold by Henry T. Fox to John N. Henry for $70,000. Theie was n restriction that the back building could not be extended. It was assessed for $6l.0u0 for 1911. The Pennsylvania. Trust Company as trustee sold, on July , 1SH, 1913 Spruce street, lot HO by 104, to Helen D. Plersol for $28,C0O. Uetvveen 20th and 21st streets the most recent sale was May 1. 1910. when 203G Spruce street, was sold by Mary C. S. Fox to .Mary II. Kitchen for $Ai,000. Tho lot is IS by 96. West of 21t street several properties are for sale, notably 2135 Spruce street, occupied so long by the Cleetnan family. Two attempts to sell at auction have not brought a figure the trustees of the estate xo block, on May FIREMAN ACCUSES TRACY, PENROSE POLICE "JUDGE" Foreman Ignored When He Tolls of Intended Highway Robbery. The timely nctlon of Hownrd Kennedy, n foreman of Fire Engine Company No. Si, prevented Stewart Dean, of West Con shohocken, from being robbed of nearly $160) this morning. Kennedy declared, however, that he received no satisfaction from the police, and was not allowed to testify In tho case by Magistrate Tracy, n Petirose-McNIchol follower of the 10th Ward. While standing at Eighth and Arch s-trctE, the fireman hoard three rough looking men planning to rob Dean, who was In a neaiby saloon. Kennedy entered the aloon Immediately and saw the In tended victim In a corner. He had no Idea of his whereabouts. Before tho fireman could -warn tho man, tho three strangers entered. Kennedy telephoned the police of tho Eleventh nnd "Winter streets stntlon. The would-bo thieves became suspicious and dlsap peaicd. A few minutes later Policeman Kelly arrived and took the man to tho stntlon house. He was charged witn Intoxication. Kennedy followed and endeavored to give a description of the three men to the police and tho Magistrate, but ho was not permitted to testify. The prisoner said ho came here on Mon day for a trip. Tho police found $1561 In his pockets. Policeman Kelly put Dean on a train for Conshohocken at the Read ing Terminal. Kennedy nas Indignant and said ho would make a report of his treatment to Director Porter. TWO ASHLAND YOUNG MEN FIND SPORT IN CITY COSTLY BOY VAGRANT ASKS TO BE SENT TO REFORM SCHOOL Tired of Tramp Life and Desirous of Obtaining Education. A 16-year-old vagrant, who ran nwAy frcm homo four years ago, Is at the Houe of Detention today and wants to bo sent to the Glen Mills Reform School so that he may get oft the streets and oLtnln an education.

For the first time In months the boy had a clean bed to sleep In last night. This morning tho Idea of returning to hl. old life on the streets was so re pugnant to him that when he was ar raigned before Magistrate Pcnnock, he said: "Judge, I want you to send me to Glen Mills. I can go to school there and learn a trade." Magistrate Fennock explained to the lad that he did not have the necessary Jurisdiction to send him to Glen Mills, and accordingly sent him to the House of Detention for 30 days.

Objection was shown to streets not continuous, one reason being urged that in case of fires delay would be caused by the numerous corners, if the long hook-and-ladder trucka could turn Into the small streets at all. Some large mottgages am colnir n,. record this wetk, notably one for $37,500 on the property at Ettli street and Ovei brook avenue, and one for 130.000 at 59 Smith 16th street.

Philadelphia Is not such a fine city, nfter all at least not In the opinion of Cyrus McDermott nnd Kranlc Plummer, two young men of Ashland, Pa., who ar rived here jesterday nfternoon and are returning to their native haunts today with sadly depleted pocketbooks, but with a knowledge that ott can't "raise the dickens" In a city without getting into trouble.

Residents of Frankford and officials at the Frankford Arsenal spoke with elation loday of the news from Washington that an Item of $130,000 to purchase certain land adjoining the arsenal had been In cluded In the sundry civil service esti mates to be submitted to Congress for the ) ear 1918. Lieutenant Colonel George Montgomery, commander of the Institution, today dis cussed what would be dono with the land should Congress pass favorably upon the budget. "It nmounls to about acres," lin,paM, "nnd will glvp us what we have wanted for many years a frontage on the river. On the new plot we will build additional storo houses, magazines and a rolling mill. Possessing the latter wo will not be at the mercy of outside concerns for our rolled metal. Our magazines will be built along the river, so that In caso of on explosion the force will be exerted outwnrds over the water. We will build a, dock nnd ship considerable material by water." Colonel Montgomery thought the only thing which might prevent favorable action by Congress on the nrsennl Item would be a decrease In Government reve nue, due to the Huropean war.

Off the "styles" that were supposed to be the best that conuld be produced, none remain, ootside off a ragshop except the kind that will always remain, that is to say, the standard, conservatively cut bJack and oxfford coats. These remain on their merits. They will always be in demand by men off the solid, substantial type, without whom the world could not get afong. But styles off ffancy overcoats have changed radically and there was never such a change ffor the better. Men only needed to be shown the newer and better js to discard the old ones. The newer and better styles were English styles and styles inffluenced by the This Men's Clothing Store it was that introduced them. American makers have since learned to -to diversify them to improve on them. The New Fall Overcoate now on display are a fine achievement in everything that goes to make graceful and harmonious fashions on top of old-time reliability off making and woolens. Noticeable new features are the showing of jauntily cut garments in lively designs and homespun effects, to which a touch of grace and balance has been given by a velvet collar. By the way, collars, generally speaking, are broader this year than last, and very new also is the unusual showing of rather pronounced tartan designs. vogue of cuffed sleeves continues, hut thtr i e choice of other sleeves for those who want them The best showing in fancies is at $15, $88, $20, $22 SO and $25, The bfaek and oxford coats go from $115 to $30.
