IS.—The Lawis- j iana Hayride is a gay. lilting, whirl ing dance that goes round and , round. The man pivots on his right foot, seemingly the hub of the wheel that the dance makes, while the girl takes long side steps with her right foot to the right side, being the rim of the wheel. Thus the pattern of the dance is large cartwheels. It is done fast, the feature being the unusually long steps that the girl takes while the man merely pivots, arm raised, facing her cm all four turns and swinging her around, taking very short steps on one spot. Her steps are the basic Box Step, as in the old-fashioned waltz, only much longer. Thus is how the man does Mjp Louisiana Hayride. according to this diagram shown: 1. Step forward on left foot, turning one-quarter left, facing west wall. 2. Step backward on right, turn ing one-quarter to left. 3. Step sidewise to the left with left foot. 4. Draw up right foot to left, weight on tight. This is one-inlf turn for the man. Repeat four counts. The girl, making the rim of the Wheel, takes long side-ways steps with her right foot to the right side, j as beginning the waits, then she crosses the left foot In front, and begins the same long right side step again, repeating four times, facing a different wall each time she turns to make a complete circle around the man who holds her hand as she whirls about him while he merely pivots to keep facing her. You do the Louisiana Hayride in whirling manner, with gay. lilting dash. She literally takes four waltz steps, with the first one very long, crossing her left foot over each time, just after the long step, for a very quick balance to swing into the next long step.

All Orders Subject to Acceptance and Verification BANKERS HIT TECHNOCRACY NEW YORK. Jan. 14. u»»i—'Tech nocracy's head man. Howard scoli, has stirred up a new wave of con troversy as a result of his first for mal discussion of the subject with some leading bankers and indus trialists. The New York Times said a sur vey of the audience wnich heard him last night at a society of arts and sciences dinner showed that In general his hearers expressed skepti cism, as well as disappointment at what they regarded as a confused presentation." Scott had said: That social conditions would gel worse and worse if present trends continued, and that unemployment would increase in this country "to 20,000.000 within 18 months" unless steps were taken: That "not one single political outstanding figure or financial fig ure has come forward with any proposal that has one iota of use fulness in dealing with present day conditions;" That "there is nothing inherent in democracy, or the price system, that can deal with the problems in hand;” That "the more energy we con sume per capita, the more is a change in control necessitated;” That America and Russia both hate an "obsolete price system”: That "technocracy has undoubt edly caused the strangest alignment in history"—the debt merchant and the communist being down in the mud of the last ditch, fighting shoulder to shoulder in defense of a system of advantage."
