ENGLAND BRINGS
BACK OLD TIME
COUNTRY DANCES
LONDON, Jan. 15. (/P)—1There has
been a sudden country-wide revival of
pf the old English country dances, and
j, great all-England folk dance festival
is ushering in the New Year in the
?rand hall of London University, in
South Kensington.
The revival is bringing the Merry
lance and the Sword dance into their
awn again, says a report by the Eng
lish Folk Dance Society, which asserts
these dances are being taken up with
enthusiasm by tens of thousands of
young people throughout* England.
The society is compelled to refuse
hundreds of applicants from would-be
learners because of its* inability to se
cure enough ball-room space.
Women are taking up sword danc
ing enthusiastically, many with the
purpose of teaching it to the boy
scouts, girl guides, and members of
similar organizations.
Scottish Reels are still remaining in
favor because of the partiality of the
Dutchess of York for them, although
the Dutchess herself will not be seen
in the ballroom for the next few
months because of the approach of an
interesting event in the family.
Earl Bathurst, who at 61 still fol
lows the hounds, likes jazz and many
other modern things, recently deliv
ered himself of the opinion that in
dress women have gone altogether too
far. He admits he may be somewhat
oldfashioned, but at that he does not
think women have changed much for
the better.
“My advice to girls is to avoid the
vanity bag,” said Lord Bathurst when
presenting prizes at a Cirencester
school. The colored hose and the
short skirts girls are wearing make
him shudder, declared the peer, who
said he much preferred the old-fash
ioned high boots and gaiters.
However, Lord Bathurst said, he
Suite agreed with the modern tendency
for women to participate in sports
more and more, and declared that a
young wufe should interest herself in
football, cricket and toher games so
m
as to be able to converse with her hus
band and keep him at home nights.
Game Hunters Off for Africa
Many of the big game hunters who
are going from England to Africa this
winter will tise motorcars to hunt in
the deserts and along the edges of the
jungles.
Among the first to leave for the sea
son’s sport were Sir John and Lady
Harrington, who will jump off from
Khartoum for an expedition in the
wilds of the White Nile country. Sir
John knows the Sudan well, as does
Lady Harrington, who was formerly
Miss Amy MacMillan, an heiress of
Detroit.
Sir John was the first Englishman
to travel in Abyssinia by way of Khar
toum. He became British minister to
the court of Ethippa and a little later
was knighted by King Edward VII.
WOULD CONVERT SCRAP SHIPS
TO WORLD WELFARE VESSELS
TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 14. (#>)—'The
United States government would save
millions of dollars and have a tre
mendous impetus to world brother
hood by literally “beating its swords
into ploughshares,” in the opinion of
Dr. Charles M. Sheldon, editor of
The Christian Herald and for thirty
years a Congregational church pastor
here.
Doctor Sheldon is advocating the
use of discarded navy vessels as
“university ships,” and a “secretary
of peace” in the president’s cabinet.
“Battleships that cost millions were
scrapped after the disarmament con
ference at Washington,” he declared.
‘Old shipping board vessels are still
being destroyed. How much better if
they could have been converted into
university ships, to take the pick of
our college students around the world
on an educational tour.
“Wouldn’t it be fine to remove the
guns and munitions and fill the holds
with provisions and merchandise;
take aboard 5,000 students and pro
fessors, and go from continent to
■continent studying daily as they
would at home? Their cargo could
be exchanged f^r foreign exports, and
the expenses ot the voyage largely
defrayed in this trading.”

Makes Snapping Turtle
Farm Source of Profit
FERTILE, la., Jan. 16. (JP)—Some
20,000 snapping turtles now lie bur
ied beneath the boggy acreage of the
hill country of north Iowa, enjoying
their long winter sleep, because the
(world war broke out in Europe in
1914.
Europe is a long way from Fertile
but it is where Hans Johnson, youth
ful soldier, got his idea for the es
tablishment of a turtle farm that sup
plies a large per cent of the turtle
flesh that eventually finds its way
to the dining rooms of America’s
foremost hotels.
Johnson was a doughboy in the
88th division of the A. E. F. In Sep
tember of 1917 he obtained a leave
of absence and wandered down to
Monte Carlo, of gambling fame. One
night a wealthy American, a steel
manufacturer, invited Johnson and a
numbre of companions to dine with
him at the Grand Cafe near the Ca
sino. Chelonia mydas broth, a soup
made from the flesh of a species of
West Indian turtle, was served. The
check for it was large.
Johnson reasoned that if wealthy
men paid without protest such high
prices for mydas broth, it would pay
to go into the business of supplying
the market. Thus was born the idea
of Fertile’s turtle farm, the plans for
which Johnson put into effect after
he came home. Five years ago
Johnson began his work by leasing
ten acres of river bottom land, mak
ing a success of the venture from
the start.
LONDON, Jan. 14. (JP)—Now that
Turkish women have come out for
modern dress there is a tendency here
and in Paris to slip back a hundred
years or so and bring to the front
some of the ideas which Constanti
nople has discarded during the last
few weeks.
Veils, abolished a short while ago
by Turkish women, are coming back.
Modistes aver they are not only be
coming but protect the wearers from
cold winds and any weak little ’flu
germs which might be hovering about
in the air.

proposed EKLUTNA WATER &
POWER PROJECT, to Seward

headquarters for the coming week.
