THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, TCFSDAY. DECEMBER 30, 1913. 16 GOLD SHOWERED OH TEACHERS 0FTAN60 London Society Scrambles in Wild Confusion, Begging to Be Taught Dance. MANY TAKE TO INSTRUCTING f'Ufhionable 'Women Wait in Line to Meet Artists at Step aa They . I-rave Stage and Engage ments Keep Pair Busy. LON'DON". Dec. IJ. (Special.) Teachers of the tango are dancing themselves into affluence. This ex traordinary dancing mania that has burst in London without warning or reason is responsible for lifting certain men and women from obscurity and a modest livelihood into Incomes of lis. 0 a year. In fact, the tango craze in London Is a better paying institution than is baseball in America. The rush to become tango teachers is like the rush to a suddenly discovered sold field. Bank clerks, comedians, musicians, chorus girls and students are some of the diverse types of gold soekers suddenly brought together Into this new profession, which has been created by the lmltativeness or crowds. Society "discovered" the tango years after Its firm establishment as a pop ular dance In other parts of the world. It raited in Paris three years ago and baa been an institution in South Amer ica for a generation, but London is now smitten with It aa by an epidemic, and will shortly dance Itself tired of the name of it. Taaga Experts Swamped. If one walks down Shaftesbury ave nue any afternoon, a uns line of wrm ea may be seen waiting eagerly at a certain theater in the hope of having sn interview with two tango experts ho pause there for a few minutes, in their whirlwind round of "tango teas." to give one or two dances on the stage, livery woman wants to book them for a private exhibition at lier house or to arrange for lepsons. If every day had twice !4 hours, this tango-tired couple could not fulfill all the engagements offered them, nor daore at half the houses where checks or from 10 to guineas can be had in exchange for a li-tnlnute visit. They practically live in a motor car. dashing from a hotel to a matinee tea. and then to two or three crowded West End mansions, and then to a couple of din ner engagements, and then to some of the restaurants for supper. They have little time to eat or sleep. They make a flying trip to a seaside twn. dance for an hour, and receive sziO. In one day they "tango" in a dosen different parts of London. Their -en-Ices are in demand from the lunch eon hour until the last patrons of the all-nlglit clubs are ready for bed. larosee 91300 Weekly. Every dance adds so many guineas to their Income. The time between public engagementa is taken up with lessons, for which they charge 4 gui neas an hour. Fifteen minutes' tuition costs a guinea. They are tired beyond description when the day-and-night round is finished, but at the end of ev ery week they have netted at least 11100. and so they are willing to keep on dancing as long as their feet can keep time to the .music Many other professional "tangolsts" make far less, but S00 a week is a fair average for even the lesser stars who seek public engagements. Now they are flocking to London from Paris and other continental cities, where the tango is almost as dead as rag-time, and the invasion of real South American danc ers is beginning. DRUG HABIT CONTAGIOUS MorpLlnomania of Youth Contracted by Mother and Sister. PARIS, Deo 29. (Special.) A tragic story of morpblnomanla was revealed yesterday when detectives arrested Marcel Leroy in the act of stealing a piece of silk valued at 40 from a shop in the Rue Returner. As he was arrested Leroy, who waa almost in a state of nervous prostration produced a hypodermic syringe, and im plored his captors to let him have an other Injection of morphine. "Only once." he begged, "Just once!" He con tinued his agonized appeals all the way to the police station. Leroy then cofessed that he was actu ated by an irresistible craving for mor phine, to procure money for the pur chase of which he resorted to theft He stated that he had been addicted to morphine and cocaine sine? he was a boy of 14. and latterly had been mak ing injections 100 times a day. Not merely content with indulging in the habit himself he had eventually Implanted the same terrible cravins in his mother and sister, with whom ho lived. For a long time the women have been using drugs of every kir.d. The girl, who is only 22 years of age. Is actually dying from too frequent Indulgence: her only nurse Is the mother, already driven mad by the drug. ENGLISH MAILS DELAYED Interference by Employes Is Opinion Generally Held. I.O.YDON. Dec. it. (Special.) The sabotage In the general postofflce Is not confined to the central , telegraph u?rc. where Instruments are being tampered with In ever-increasing num bers. It is spreading to the big pro vincial offices, such AM .Manchester, Glasgow and Liverpool, and delays In the transmission of telegrams are be coming more serious. Another instance of ea" cannying." as sabotage is called by British trade union members and officials, has come to light in the general postofflce. Type writers have developed a remarkable facility for getting out of order. In regard to the aorting and delivery of letters "cj" cannying" Is being car ried on by the class of workers known as mall porters. 11 is frequently dis covered that a bag of letters is left behind in postofflce or railway sta tion: wagons destined for the railway terminal arrive late and trains are missed: breakdowns of mail vans are remarkably numerous, and It Is sur prising how the porters contrive to double the time to handle a load of -mall bags compared with the speed they were displaying a few weeks ago. WEALTH OF 1675 SOUGHT lrencli Chamber Soon Mut Pass on Woman's Claim. PARIS. Dee, 29. (Special.) The First Cliamber will soon have to Judge the claim of Mm. Cotton as heiress of Joseph Thierry, who diel in Corfu in 1675. leaving a large miscellaneous for tune, the value of which has. of course, theoretically quintupled since then, when It was estimated already at about I20.000.100. It consisted, according to his will. In (00.000 gold ducats. 50.000 gold Louis, six driving carriages and coaches, two sacks full of precious stones, valued at from $100,000 to 1250, 000: six barrels full of gold dust. 00. 000 sliver ducats, six cases filled with silver chandeliers, and one sack four feet square containing about 6.000.00. All this was left by Joseph Thierry to his brothers and descendants, and until the estate could be administered the whole fortune was transferred and gaarded at the Zecca of Venice. There the sacks and piles of gold and silver ducats remained until 1797, when the French army, commanded bv Bona parte, having entered Venice, was ordered by the Direclolre to seize the treasure of the Zecca and bring it to Paris, which was done. Since then it is not clear what has happened to it. but there is no doubt that most of it has disappeared, and that the Minister of Finance and the City of Paris are Jolntlv responsible towards any prop erly proved and established heirs. This, at least, will be the ground taken by counsel for lime. Cotton, and it re mains to be seen what defense the government and municipality will of fer.

Wash, January 6. 7 and S. The railroads operating in m have granted a rate of a fare and a third on the certificate plan. Experts say the demand for wheat In England has Increased, while Ameri can shipments to that place have de creased. This is partly due. it is said, to the fact that poorer grades of Amer ican wheat are not in demand and be cause better grade of wheat are pro duced elsewhere and are sold for less money, and partly due to the fact that other sources of supply have increased and the transportation facilities to other countries have Improved. Argentina and Canada combined are shipping more wheat to England than the United States. American export trade to the Orient is in competition with India. Australia and Canada. In order to increase sales to the English market it is necessary to Ira prove the quality of American wheat. It is asserted. English buyers are be ginning to buy the select wheats, those that are strong and excellent for bread making purposes, and unless American growers meet this condition, they will have difficulty In disposing of their grain to that market. 'BOOZE' TRADE FLOURISHES Johannesburg Officials Cnable to Locate Principals In Trarflo. JOHANNESBURG, Dec 2 (Special.) As an Instance of the widespread ramifications and cunning methods of the Rand liquor sellers, who are widely known as "liquor kings." and try to dodge the police by every conceivable maneuver, following Is the latest trick which has been detected. No lesa than eight dozen bottles of doctored "dope" brandy were found In the possession of two native, who appeared to be driv ing a laundry van in the vicinity of the Simmer Deep mine. The bottles were hidden beneath what looked like bun dles of laundry. The white bosses of this nefarious traffic cannot be reached as they work everything from behind the scenes. They are said to have their residences in exclusive places of the suburbs, trav eling to and from the city in their motors. They are on a level with the illegal gold buyers. One may rub shoulders with them in most unlikely places the best clubs, political meet ings, social gatherings, and tramcars. The leaders of both gangs are pretty well known to the criminal investiga tion department, but they are too shrewd to be caught within the meshes of the law. The Prime Minister's prom the to adopt drastic measures for the suppression of the traffic is welcomed.

LOW BIRTH BATE 15 SUBJECT IN LONDON Doctors and Philanthropists Say It Not Necessar ily Is an Evil. CLASSES BECOME FACTOR Question Largely Sociological and .Utilitarian Is Assertion Marht Rcdring Declares Problem Entirely Up to Women. . LONDON, Dec 29. Doctors and phil anthropists in London are busy discuss ing the question, "Is a low birth rate a good thing?" They do not seem to be quite so sure about the answer as Mr. Roosevelt, or the German Emperor, or the best minds in the French re public, for many of them frankly state a low birth rate is not necessarily an evil. And they say this even when they are confronted with the fact that the birth rate per thousand of the pop ulation In England and . Wales has fallen from an average of 35.3 for the four years 187S-80 to 26.7 for the four .years 1906-10. Within the same period the marriage rate has neither risen aor fallen. The ground they assume on the ques tion is largely sociological and utili tarian. Thus they argue that the only birth rate which is of any use is that of babiea who survive to the age at which they can become parents them selves. A high birth rate among the feeblex-minded and epileptic is only dis astrous to all concerned. They have no patience with the contention that a high birth rate and a high death rate have "selective value" and serve eugenics by preserving the fit. Nat ural selection, they point out, either kills or spares. Unnatural aeclction, by overcrowding and the slum, kills and spoils. They have, however, appointed a private commission of in quiry Into the matter, and one of the questions this commission will have to face Is whether, "for a middle-class family in England with an income of $12.60 a week, two children aro as many as provident, responsible and not selfish parents might wish to have." Question Is Woman's. Meanwhile Maria Redrlng. the so ciologist, says that doctors and philan thropists have really nothing to do with the problem that it is first and last a woman's question. She declares: "The Increasing desire for pleasure may have some small effect, some slight influence, but it is far from be ing the reason for decreasing families. To make such a statement Is to libel modern womanhood. "In the old obedient days girls were taught as part of their religion that they must accept their lot as daughters of Eve. and bear the yoke of subjec tion, at least from me day of their marriage, if not from babyhood. With the endurance that is perhaps the sex's most conspicuous quality, they took up the burden of motherhood as a matter of course. It was heavy, as earth's burdens are apt to be. but there was a blessedness which went with it sure to be recognized as such sooner or later. It Is because much of the blessedness has vanished that women shrink now adays from the burden. "Life grows more difficult, compe tition Is keen, and the cost of living is rising:. out of all proportion to in crease In wages. What wonder that all women who are not of tha leisured classes dread the coming of children they cannot bring up aa they would wish, and who. if they should live to go into the world, in all probability will fare even more, nardly than their parents. Teaes Closer to Nature.'' "Women are said to be nearer to nature than men. They have a home ly, deep-seated abhorrence for what is unnatural and dangerous to life. It is often with heroic, and not selfish, intent they choose what seems to them the lesser of two great evils. "There are other reasons, though not so potent, for the decline in popula tion. The girl who has gone straight from school into the bustling world and has no experience of home 'life feels strangely isolated as mistress of some small but lonely domain, where she must work alone for 10 hours ou of the 24. She goes back to outdoor work or spends her days in pleasure solely to avoid the baneful effect of such a reaction on her nerves Just at a time, too, when she specially needs a cheering, helpful atmosphere. What wonder that she dreads any fresh tie that shall binij her life for which all her previous train ing has utterly unfitted her. "A dread of being ill and unfit for the affairs of life harrows many young women. The trail of sickness, diseases with terrible sounding names, face them everywhere, on hoardings and the backs of magazines. Druggists' stores are packed with endless remedies for all sorts of sufferings. It is too easy to fancy that disease is the normal por tion of humanity, and that health, a rare gift, should not be Jeopardized. And so they shrink from motherhood through an Ill-balanced misunderstand ing of the most primitive facts of life. Yoang Wife Wants to Live. "The sight of so many pale, over burdened mothers in our streets acts as yet another deterrent. The lot of the working woman with a family In England is so obviously a crushing one. 'I want to live, not to drag out a weary existence which is nothing but a struggle against overwhelming odds.' thinks the young wife. She has aspirations. It is not a desire for pleasure, but for a more gracious Ideal of daily life which vturns her from such motherhood as that which she too commonly sees. "A single man has generally a bet ter chance in life than a married one. A single woman is far better off than a married one. if she is capable of earning her living, that is, unless- she contrives 'to marry a man in good or secure circumstances. Tet young men and maidens do marry, after all, and it should be recognized by public opinion that young couples run great risks In founding a family nowadays. They have rarely any security for the future, and wages do not increase auto matically when there are more mouths to feed. Communal life, such as is sug gested in garden city or village groups, and in some town-planning scheme, to gether with co-operation in the daily affairs of life, will go far to ease the loneliness of which so many newly wedded wives complain. It is also pos sible that the lot of the overburdened mother, living on a small Income, will be lightened in the future on such a plan." Canal Service Planned. CHRISTCHURCH. N. Z-, Dec. 29.

After several vicious swings, Willard landed the knockout blow, a right uppercut to the Jaw. SCHOOL BOYS TO SHOOT RIFLE COMPETITION STIMULATED BV GOVERNMENT TROPHY. Annual Contest to Begin Immediately After Holidays Teams Eater From All Parts of Nation. OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ingrton, Dec 28. Rifle shooting as a sport in the public high schools throughout the country is rapidly on the increase. It has been greatly stlm ulated by a National trophy presented by the War Department, which repre sents the inter-high school rifle shoot ing championship of the United States. Annual competition for this trophy wilt begin immediately after the Christ mas holidays under the auspices of the National Rifle Association of America- Thirty high schools, covering a ter ritory extending from Portland, Mc, to Tucson, Ariz., and west to the Pa cific Coast have entered this compe tition. These 30 schools have been di vided into three classes with ten teams In each class. Teams will consist of ten boys, 'each firing ten shots standing and ten shots prone at oO feet, using Z2-callber rifles. All the matches are to be shot under the direct supervision of judges appointed by the National Rifle As sociation. The winning team in each class will receive medals from the War Department- Several of the schools under construction are being provided with gallery ranges. .In the District of Columbia all of the public schools are provided with ranges, and in two of these schools the sport has been taken up by the girls. In addi tion to the training of the nerve and eye, this instruction has a tendency to eliminate accidents with firearms through instruction regarding their use and abuse.
