the Detroit NVwh In tho review
of n old fuHhlom-d dance held iw
ii n experiment in a .Detroit danet;

younger set.
(ifiieiais of tho dance had sU,'
i,l tho dunce, for tin; cx press brno
fit of those of another fc-eneration
who hud been liti-rdlly crowded
from the dunce floor by modern
juzx music. Itut, they Hcurcely
anticipated "five thouKjtnd men
und women howling for tho right

polka and form dances. And
Included In thosu'who participated
in this demonstration weru ull

"The .spirit or the quiidrllle, that
iM-jrun In a lowly wiy must havu
blinked its eyes in wonderment,"
won tho Jelrolt News. "It was
eil throuuU tho hall since It was
hullt.
"itand clapping was lost In the
Miouls and demands for "Moro,
more." Tho spirit of the dance
communicated itself to the young
er generation and thry fousht
with the old timers" for sparo to
dunce. If the orchestra hud bern
able to stand it tho jam would
have kept them busy ull night.
As it was, tho quudrile was no
sooner over and tho rcgulnr hall
orchestra called in for relief than
a demand for a "rye. waltjs" arose,
und to tho astonishment of the
manugemont and others -who had
declared the. old-fashioned dunces
would never "catch on," tho floor
wus ju in Tiled even moro than for
the (lundrllle, and tho y'lls were
just as loud for moro of that.
l'lemled With Crowd,
''It. became neceswory to plead
with the crowd to get off the
floor und give other; a chance,
hut it was not until promises had
been megaphoned for old-fash -

in my life, und I have been in

there, but a piirly of his repro

II was a different crowd from that
whieh usually appears at public
dunce halls, although the sheik

Hundreds of old men nnd women

couples crowded the floor from

CONSTANT! NOl'l.K (AD The
furklsh republic is going in for
agriculture on a scale the like of
which the country previously lias
never witnessed.
Hocognixlng tho principle that
there can be no enduring prosper
ity in a nation of oppressed and
unwilling producers, tho govcrn-
trustecs is as follows:
ameliorating the conditions under
which peasants lived.
The feudal sysiem -.which ob
tained during the rule of tho sul
tans has been abolished. The over
lords, who claimed vast stretches
of land and used the peasant as
serfs, have been executed or ex
iled und the land divided umong
the people. With the departure of
the sultans went the tax on the
peasants which look one-tenth of
their profits.
To create a body of expert man
agers the department, of education
has established thirteen agricul
tural schools, for which there were
20oo applicants this year, and nlso
Is sending students to farm col
leges In Mu rope and America.
Tint department of agriculture Is
