Improper Dances
No Longer Popular
CHICAGO, Sept. 10. — Improper
: dancing did not originate in San Fran
i cisco’s “Barbary coast” the Paris un
| derworld, or among the peasants of
Argentine and Brazil. Furthermore
I the “smart set” of the larger Ameri
1 can cities is equally responsible for
j the variety of “hugs” now called danc
l ing, according to L. P. Christensen,
who addressed the members of the
National Association of Masters of
Dancing at the Blackstone hotel.
Not only have many improper steps
originated in the ballrooms of society
people, according to the speaker, who
is a teacher of dancing in the public
schools of Salt Lake city, but the ex
istence of the professional dancing
master is threatened by this class.
"The steps which achieve popularity
and dominate public dancing floors,
started for the most part in the ball
rooms of Fifth avenue, Lake Shore
Drive, and Euclid avenue,” he said.
“Unless a revolution takes place
shortly the extinction of the profes
sional dancing master is inevitable.
Dancing Masters Losing Grip.
“Dancing masters are rapidly los
ing their hold on the public,” he con
tinued. “The conglomeration of steps
which constitute the terpsichorean
hash to be seen on the ordinary danc
ing floor are in no way related to the
true art of dancing.
“Dancing, as it was conceived, was
a moral uplift agency, developing the
best instincts in human nature. At
present it has degenerated into a mere
exhibition of gross sensuality, while
those who dance according to the pre
cepts of good taste are looked upon as
‘back numbers.’
“It is up to the members of this or
ganization to do something, and to do
it at once, or the art of teaching cor
rect dancing will soon become extinct.
Would License Teachers.
L. P. Christensen’s stand against
vulgar dancing was supported by his
brother, Moses Christensen of Port
land, Oregon, president of the Port
land Symphony Orchestra. He advis
ed licensing dancing masters, just as
physicians are licensed.

Galveston; Our
First Cotton Port
Despite the fact that the year lias
been far from a normal one, in the
point of cotton shipments the port of
Galveston has easily maintained ner
lead as the first cotton port of the
United States. The trade edition of
the Galveston News, issued September
1, deals extensively with the traffic
that has been moved over the wharves
of Galveston this year. Receipts at
the port during the year amounted to
2,424,667 square bales, as against 1,
414,215 bales for her nearest compet
itor, New Orleans, and 1,042,840 bales
for Savannah, her second nearest com
petitor. There were shipped from the
port of Galveston a total of 2,519,465
square bales of cotton during the
year. Of this total 1,036,307 bales
were exported to British ports, 480,
979 bales to the continent, 163,206
bales to France.
The demands from American spin
ners have been strong, too and a large
amount of staple has moved out of
Galveston by rail and steamship to
New York and other centers, from
where it has been distributed to spin
ners. There have been a total of 719,
103 square bales shipped to New York
from Galveston this year by water
routes.
The average grade received at the
port this year was middling, the aver
age weight 534.45 pounds and the av
erage value for every bale received
at the port was $65.47. Last year the
average value of the cotton received
was $44.67 per bale.
Galveston, through increased facili
ties, added to her natural geographi
cal location, has firmly established her
self as the water gateway fpr a large
per centof the commodities raised in
Texas. The News’ Sept. 1 edition rec
ords a year of progress and advance
ment for the port of Galveston.
Seward has a civic fair on Friday
and Saturday of last week, at which
cash prizes were awarded for exhibits
of agricultural ’ products, flowers,
domestic science, needlework and chil
dren’s handiwork.
