Love Left Out in Whirlwind
Courtship Involving $75,000
Gold Plays Leading Part in
Ohio Leap Year Event and
Heir Is Bridegroom.
CANTON, 0., .Tan. 27.—One girl
dreamed of a home with love.
The second girl dreamed of a home,
but didn’t underline the love part of it.
The man had to have a wife by Feb.
1 to Inherit $75,000, left by his mother’s
will.
The result was a whirlwind leap year
courtship, which began when William
Hoffman, 31, a railway repair shop
plumber, advert! sed for a w'ife and ended
when be married Miss Ida E. Hinton.
22, a waitress, after Miss May Gertrude
Dean, 10, a rubber factory worker, gave
him the cold shoulder because he talked
money and not love.
The Hoffman-Dean-Hinton adventure In
machine gun matrimony breaks Ohio
records, it Is said, for rapid proposals
and speedy ceremonies.
CHANGE MIN’D
IN TRITE STYLE.
Hoffman wrote to ’a newspaper. He
received ten letters from Canton lassies.
He called on Miss Dean and she says he
metaphorically “jingled the money he
would get.” Dazzled, she says, at the
promise of riches, she accepted Hoffman
and the next day he called with the Rev.
Ira D. Warner and a license.
But Miss Dean, with her wedding
gown across her shoulders, orange blos
soms In her hair and the usual tears In
her eyes, cnlled down the stairs and
told him to go the way he came.
“I don’t love him. I never would love
him and he doesn’t love me,” she walled
to her rather peeved mother.
Miss Hinton telephoned Hoffman at his
hotel at 6 o’clock the following morning.
“If you’re not married yet, I’ll wait
in the lobby,” she said.
MISS DEAN WANTED
LOVE, NOT MONEY.
Hofftnan and his bride-to-be sat in the
lobby until the county auditor’s office
opened two hours later. Rev. AVarner
wouldn't marry them for another hour.
The 9 o’clock courthouse chimes were
the Hoffman wedding bells.
“I wouldn’t have been happy with
money and no love,” says Miss Dean.
‘‘l wanted a* home and sensible bus
band and I got them,” says Mrs.
Hoffman.
‘‘Marriage is what you make it," Hoff
man Thinks. “We’ll learn to love each
other. Miss’ Dean wouldn't do because
she didn’t take things seriously—too ro
mantic. Anyway—we’ve got the money.”
TEACHERS PUT
BAN ON JAZZ
Dance, Don’t Wrestle, Latest
Warning of Professors.
NEW YOUR, Jan. 27.—01 d-fashioned,
keep-your-distanee dances, are to dis
place the jazz steps, if the na
tion-wide reform movement undertaken
by the American National Association
of Masters of Dancing proves success
ful.
The dancing masters, it is announced
here, count on the support of mothers,
fathers, daughters, sons, teachers and
hostesses —and if necessary, the polic-p
department—to exterminate the “half
Nelson,” ‘‘body hold,” “shimmy lock"
and other Imported ballroom grips, which
are practiced by some dancers.
Cheap and vulgar music is also to
come under the ban and, according to
a circular just issued by the association,
those in charge of community or public
dances are urged to show their opposi
tion to undesirable dances by distribut
ing “You will please leave the hall" cards
to those who persist in offending.
WOMEN TO BLAME
IN MANY CASES.
The women, it is charged, are often
as much to blame as their partners and,
in some eases, dance hall proprietors., are
advised to pick out ten or n dozen ob
jectionable couples, and if a warning is
disregarded, to oust them at once.
‘‘You will soon see,” the circular reads,
“that you have raised the standard of
your establishment and that the loss will
be more than made up by double the
number of persons who have x-espect
for you and your dances.
“Dance music should be bright and
cheerful, properly accented and the
j'hrases well divided,” the circular adds.
'‘Cheap, vulgar music of the extreme
jazz type invites cheap, vulgar, mean
ingless dancing. It is useless to expect
refined dancing when the. music lacks
all refinement for, after all, whaL is
dancing but an interpretation of music?'*
TEMPOS ADOPTED
BY ASSOCIATION.
The association has adopted the fol
lowing tempos, it being impossible, the
masters say, to regulate fast dancing.
Waltz 48 measures to minute
Two-step 54 measures to minute
One-step 66 measures to minute
Fox trot , 50 measures to minute
“Dancers should assume a light, grace
ful position,” say the masters. “There
should be no jerky half-steps, for these
cause undesirable variations. Partners
should not dance with cheeks close or
fouchlng. nor should the clasp be tight.
•Neck holds’ are positively unpardonable.
The gentleman’s arm should encircle bis
partner’s waist, his hand resting lightly
dust above the waist line. The lady’s
■?ft arm should not encircle her part
w'i shoulders or neck.
HfSteps or movements that can not be
oiled should not bs taught by daae-

ing teachers. Short side steps, first
right, then left, when done continuously,
are not conducive to refined dancing ana
should not be permitted. ‘Shimmy danc
ing,’ a shaking cr jerking of the upper
part of the body while taking short
steps or standing still, should not be
tolerated.
“The proper dancing step should be
the same as a natural walking one,
except in exhibition dancing, which prop
erly belongs to the stage, not the ball
room. Exceptionally long or short steps
are not in good form
“Dancing should be from the waist
down, not from the waist up. Copying
of the extremes used on the modern
stage is in bad taste. Remember that
the majority of dancers desire to dance
according to the best accepted standards,
thnt is, without the slightest, trai-e tn
offense to dignity or decorum.”
“Fire Eater” at
“Slippery Gulch”
The citizens of the wild and wooley
west village of Slippery Gulch at Tom
linson hall will be entertained by the
“Great Dante the Fire Eater,” who will
also work in the “Spirit Cabinet Act. - ’
These additional attractions will be like
the Slippery Gulch paper, “The Howler”
free. This 1 is something very unusual for
it uslally costs the tenderfeet who visit
Slippery Gulch a thousand “bucks” to
turn around if the sheriff's deputies are
standing by.
The jail is becoming one of the most
popular loafing places in the community
and Judge Hoffman is by no means
a piker when it comes to meting out
fines.
Mille Castilanos' trained lions are
proving one of the most popular amuse
ments in the village and unlike most
of the features they are not of the frtv
ilohs nature, but stand out as a marked
contrast with the rest of this wild
frontier village. ,
Twenty-five years ago, when raccoon
coats were selling at ?10, many poorly
paid workers possessed them, 'Taut In the
short interval of time elapsed, they
have risen in prices to 51,000 for a coat

BELGIUM FAST
BUILDING UP ITS
TRADE STATUS
Merchants of War-torn Coun
try Quickly Renew Ante-
Bellum Standards.
SIGNS BRING HAPPINESS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—Heroic
Belgium, war ridden, almost ruined by
the depredations of the invader, appar
ently is going to be the first of the
European nations to fully rehabilitate
herself. This Is foreshadowed by the
nature of her Imports from the United
States, as well as the fact that on no
occasion since the cessation of hostilities
have her merchants overlooked an op
portunity to renew and restore to pre
war standards, their trade with this na
tion. Figures made public by the de
partment of commerce give proof suf
ficient of Belgium’s plans to build again,
on the ruins of the old, her homes, her
commerce nd her Industries.
For the first nine months of 1919 Bel
gian imports from America included:
Household goods and personal effects,
$1,505,000; cattle and horses, $790,000;
lumber, $1,215,000; iron and steel prod
ucts, $9,524,000; electrical machinery and
appliances, $048,000; hinder twine,
$387,000; refined copper, $908,000; alu
minum manufactures, $233,000; zinc
spelter, $416,000; hops, $91,800, and malt,
$2,732,000.
All of these to Belgiuii, whose total
area is only 11,373 square miles.
LATHES AND OTHER
MACHINE TOOLS HUM.
Conspicuous among the iron and steel
products, and indicative of the energy
put forth by the stricken people to re
gain a lost commercial ranking, are
lathes and other machine tools, sharpen
ing, grinding and metal working ma
chinery, together with countless items of
lesser importance. All, however, will
serve to replace in Belgium factories the
machinery and equipment carried away
or destroyed when the German hordes
drove across tliehittle nation with only
a desire to wreak havoc and lay a path
of waste.
Arteries of transportation must needs
be rebuilt If the country is to thrive.
Thus, Belgium has come into American
markets and has bought up railway
equipment; she lms bought m l or trucks,
she has contracted for vast quantities
of iron and steel hillets, bars, rods ami
fittings, generally. The assortment
shows plainly, officials explained, what
depredations were committed on the na
tion's rolling stock and motive power.
FOOD PRODUCTION
A LITTLE TARDY.
Along with all of thee articles have
gone immense supplies of food commodi
ties. Belgium’s food producing districts
have not yet regained their potency.
Belegian buyers have been in the mar
kets for every;king that goes on the
dining tatde, and the quantities pur
chased give a feeling of confidence among
American dealers that Belgium’s re
cuperative powers are fully able to-meet
demands which must, of necessity, be
placed on them.
Witness these figures: Meat and dairy
products exported to Belgium duritn
the first nine months of 1919 aggre
gated $95,084,000. Os this sum, $,400,090
consisted <>f butter, cheese and evapo
rated condensed milk. Included In the
meat consignments were 127.466,000
pounds of lard, which is valued at S3B.
000,000 —seventeen pounds for every per
son in the nation.
There were also lard compounds to
taling 21,970,000 pounds and worth $5,
131.000 sent over in the same period.
Bacon shipments amounted to 72,973,000
pounds, worth $23,133,000, and bams an.
shoulders aggregating 28,853,000 pounds,
worth $5,507,000. Edible vegetables, oil
and fats and other articles of food also
were included 'n the heavy shipments.

ENTER, MAN!
Or Throw Him Out for
Bawling a Heap of Things
All Up.
By LORRY A. JACOBS.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.—It’s usually the
women who dig up things to prove that
women are always right, but this time
It's a man—Dr. Stephen Langdon, pro
fessor of Assyrian language In Oxford
university, and his deductions a:re borne
out by Dr. A. M. Boyce of the University
of Pennsylvania.
Just between you and me, I think he
might as well have kept quiet about It,
since he’s dumped over the one thing
which we were able to convince Friend
Wife that women were wrong.
Anyway, Dr. Langdon says he’s de
ciphered some ancient Babylonian tab
lets that say that the story about Eve
tempting Adam to eat the apple was all
wrong. They even go so far as to say
that there wasn’t any Eve at all. Or any
Adam. And to make it worse, they claim
that man was created by a woman Deity.
And that Noah was the bird who did the
apple eating and that when he did it,
Mrs. Noah wasn't along at all.
So, therefore, Mrs. Noah couldn’t be to
blame for It since she didn’t even see
Noah sink his teeth into the mealy ap
ple.
But that isn’t the worst of it. Dr.
Langdon. aided and abetted by Dr.
Boyce, declares that the Babylonian tab-
VOW DID
EVE V ) V •’ / NOAH
lets reveal that Noah traveled about un
der two names, Noah and Ziuggidu.
Think what that means!
Instead of being able to win one argu
ment with your wife, and convincing her
that even if Adam did eat the apple. Eve
tempted him, the best you can do now
Is to admit that It was Noah's fault about
the apple and furthermore that he was
in the habit of staying out nights or
else be wouldn't have been traveling un
der the double cognomen.
