Lived in Portland. The death of Captain James D. Basey, former Portland boy. whose name ap peared In Friday s casualty list, was verified yesterday by Dr. 8. H. Sheldon In long-distance conversation with the Basey family rt Olympla.' V ash.. Young Basey. who was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Basey, grew up In Portland and has a large circle of1 Intimate friends here. His father was for many years the Portland agent for the Northen Express Company, while Mrs. Basey was prominent In social and community activities during bar resi dence here. The family removed to Olympia about a year ago. and Mrs. Basey Is now head of the surgical dressing department of the Red Cross chapter In.that city. Captain Basey entered the service at Fort Leavenworth. After further training at Gettysburg ha was com missioned and assigned to the Fourth Infantry, with which he went to France In May. Captain Basey was a chum of Judge Back's son. of Vancouver, who also has been listed among the kiuea. Gone are the tangos, the frensled fox trots and the waltsea of yasteryear. Enter the dignified slow waits of nre-Jaxs days, and a host of new one steps, fox trots and three-steps which hsve originated In cantonments ana soldiers' recreation centers. These pre serve the military In music and rhythm. The "Pershing Trot," "The Camouflage Turn." the "Liberty Loan Trot." the Rainbow Three-step' and the "Tickle Toe" are among the new dances which are occupying the interest of dancing teachera all over the countryy wno nave assembled at the three great centers of terpslchora for the Summer months. Conventions, normal schools and Sum mer short courses are In session in New York. Chicago and San Francisco. Mose Chrlstensen, M. M. Rlngler and Miss Genevieve Paget. Portland exponents of the dance, are attending these meet ings. "The Tickle Toe, from the musical hit of the new comedy, "Going Up," bids fair to become the dance sensation of the season. Old Scottish Dance Recalled. To survive the first two or three movements of the Tickle Toe is to find oneself face to face with the Aeroplane fiway. Then come the heel and toe "tickle." several movements which re semble parta of the old 6cottlsh sword dance, and a aerlea of steps of the va riety that look easy and are not. The Pershing Trot Is a combination of the old barn dance and the modern Fox Trot. It Is danced to four-Tour time, preferably to one of the new mili tary airs. The dancers start In open position and end in waits position. The Camouflage turn Is one of the move ments which make thia dance "new" aa far as Fox TroUs go. The Canteen Canter Is the newest thing In one-steps. It Is a combination of the popular Cortes movement and the backward canter movement. It in cludes the "waltz turn" instead of the two-step turn. . Old-Fashioned Walts Retaras. The new American waits begins with four slow walking steps forward, fol lowed by the "scissors turn." and then the straight waits a la mllitaire. done in open position. This Is done In waltz time, but It goes perceptibly slower than waltsea have been done In the last year or two. The old-fashioned waltz without any variations will return to enjoy Its old popularity, aay dancing authorities. The liberty loan fox trot Includes all the virtues of the old fox trot and a number of new movements. Grape vines are no longer "done," but the outstep" and a new zig-zag step have been introduced. The rainbow three-step Is done In 14 counts Instead of It, as it has been done heretofore. It ends In a pivot turn and canter movement. Practically all of the fast dancrnar which marked the steps introduced In the Castle era Is a thing of the dim past today. Slow dancea are slower than ever and fast dances are military.
