I used to be fearfully skinny and
never sot a compliment until I had
been doing the dancing for awhile.
Now I lop off one every now and then.
So you see tbe little- rays of sunshine
tbe dancing brings.
"And then you haven't any Idea of
the way the dancing shakes the little
worries the business girl is apt to
carry home on her shoulders. Which
you will understand when I tell you
we have what we call "by-work."
which Is really warming up work,
and it consists of lying on the floor
and relaxing every muscle in the body
from chin to toes. This relaxing is
not as easy as It sounds, but it leaves
you thoroughly refreshed and ready
for the work that follows.
'Then there are exercises rolling
on the floor without help of handi
or legs. You pull yourself over with
the muscles of the back. You can see
what that does for back muscles.
Then there are leg swinging move
ments from the hips forward, back
ward, sideward and up and so on un
til the order for "On with the dance.'
"Then we are allowed to let our
imaginations out for a bit of exercise
when- the music starts and -we apply
our own Interpretations for a few
minutes."
There is not much case for the other
side after arguments like that, is
there? I should like to ee other con
cerns emulate the fine idea of Armour
& Co.. for, after all, it is bringing
recreation o the door of the worker.
That means everything when a busi
ness girl's life does not, under ordi
nary conditions, allow time enough
for lessons, at dancing studios far
removed from her home and place of
business.

OBERAMMERGAU, July 30. Since
the decision was made to give
the delayed Passion Play in 1922
Oberammergau nas taken on new
life. Carpenters, painters ana masons,
many of them wearing long hair and
Dearos which mark them as partici
pants in previous dramatizations of
the passion of Jesus Christ, are re
storing the open-air theater and
villas which had) no attention dur
ing the war period.
Busy housewives are preparing
their homes for the reception of
visitors who will fill the little village
next summer. Scene painters are re
building and1 restoring the represen
tations of parts of the holy land
where Jesus lived and died and rose
again from the tomb.
Needlewoman are fashioning robes !
lor tneiaposues and scores or other
Biblical figures who participate in
the play. Although the cast will not
be elected by the directors of the
play unitil October, young women who
have distinguished themselves in
other religious plays given by the
Oberammergau folk are fashioning
simple robes suitable for the role
of Mary in the hope that they will
be chosen to enact the part of Jesus'
mother, the highest honor which can
come to an Oberammergau woman.
The great auditorium which shel

steel trusses. It has seats for 4001)
persons, arranged much after the
plan of a modern opera house. Wien

the stage stands at some distance

audience is entirely sheltered in case

Even among the children of Ober

imitation of their elders they ar
constantly acting, in the hope of be

BY ANTOINETTE DONNELLY.
THE ordinary mind conjures for
eurythmio dancing a background
of rich mammaa with a desire to
see their feminine offspring the pos
sessors of a stunt for wide, sloping
lawns or spacious drawing rooms or
else a mamma with a proiessionai m-
stlnct tor her daughter. In America
at least we are prone to associate
rhythm and the dance in such a way.
In other countries Russia, Sweden,
France and Switxerlaud particularly
the health and beauty and educational
value of the dance is recognized la
school curriculums.
So it may be surprising to many
who have thought of the stockyards
in terms of smells and killings to hear
of a movement that is now firmly es
tablished there, having been in opera
tion for 14 months, to provide the es
thetic dance ease and grace of move
ment, agility of body and mind, the
complete nerve relaxation of the es
thetic danoe to girl employes there,
play and Kxerclae Combined.
- Mrs. Anne T. Whitney, head of the
eersonal service department of Ar
mour & Co realizing the value of
wholesome diversion In the life of
arirls who are confined to desks, type
writers and comptometer machines
from 8:30 to 5, day after day, week
after week and year after year, spon
cored the idea of the eurythmio dan
cine classes talcs a -reek, fo tha
benefit of her 400 girls. The firm pro
vides the girls with supper at 5; the
class begins at 6 ana lasts an nour.
The idea caught on with the girls
at once. Many of them had been tak
ing the gym work the concern pro
vides all employes. Others of the girls'
did not care for the technical drill
of the gymnasium, but found the dan
cing classes the outlet for play and
drill the ideal form of exercise. And
In the 14 monhs of training many of
the dancers have acquired a skill and
effeciency extremely pleasing. In
fact one of the pupils recently re
ceived a good professional offer.
Family Spirit Promoted.
"It Is money well expended." said
one of the officials. We capitalize on
It in fact, by Increased efficiency. We
feel we get value received on the in
vestment. Tou make the mind more
flexible and alert by providing meas
ures that make the muscles of the
body flexible and active.
"We find, too.'l. he continued, "this
form of play inculoates a happier
spirit among the girls. They play
with each other and the family spirit
necessary to the success of a big or
ganization is promoted. And where
workers put xest in play they put
more xest In work.
The sedentary worker requires more
of this kind of consideration than the
woman at home or the one associated
with work that permits walking about
.during the day. And it is true that a
sedentary body carries a sedentary
mind always. Any form, a! exercise
does more for both mind and body if
the spirit of play is the major part of
the plan. Dancing has these qualities
and. In addition, there is the primal
joy of playing to music, which every
soul understands.
Exercise la "Varied.
In tfre eurythmio dancing work
there is involved every form of mus
cular exercise which the modern gyra,-
nasium provides stretching, bending,
jumping, leaping, leg, arm, hip and
waist movements all of which con
tribute to the greater strength and
resistance of the body. The girls In
this particular class find themselves
much less fatigued sitting at a desk
all day, because their backs have been
fortified with exercise. And I am told
that In almost every case greater phy
sical beauty has resulted in the com-
naratively short time the dance has
been going on. Several of the girls
have succeeded in reducing fat legs
and ankles, others have developed
their figures and In all there, is
marked improvement in general grace
of movement and carriage.
Danelna? Good Worry Chaser.
As one of the young enthusiasts said
to me, "Any girl who has a chance to
attend these classes and turns It dow
is foolish. I used to be backward an
self-conscious, but the dancing has
given me poise and assurance. I'm
not afraid to go anywhere now. Whe
the girls in my neighborhood would

Narrative of a Tour From tbe State of In
diana to the Urerroii Territory in the
Vrara 1M1-2, by Kv. Joseph "Williams
ha Cadmus Book Shop, New York city.
A copy of a rare and valuable book.
It is stated that an edition of 250
copies was printed from type and the
type distributed. The book was pub
lished for the first time In 184S srad
Is practically unknown to scholars or
book collectors who specialize in the
history of western America. Only two
copies are known today: one is irr the
private collection of Henry R. Wag
ner of Berkeley, Cal., while the other
is in the library of the New York His
torical society, to which James C. Bell
Jr.. who -writes the preface, is in
debted for permission to make a pho
tostat copy.
Rev. Mr. Williams was apparently
an earnest, well-meaning Methodist
Episcopal preacher, who was a born
missionary with a passionate desire
for converts. When he was 4 years
of age, and living quietly with his
family In Indiana, he determined to
go to Oregon to preach to the white
people there and to the Indians, and
also to see the country. Williams
was known to Father Pierre Jean.de
Smet, who in letters describing Jo
seph Williams, said: "His zeal fre
quently induced him to dispute with
us. . It was not difficult to show him
that his ideas, with the exception of
one, were vague and fluctuating. He
acknowledged it himself, but, after
having wandered from point to point,
he always returned to his favorite
tenet, which, according to him, was
the fundamental principal of all be
lief, that 'the love of God Is the first
of all duties, and to inculcate it we
must be tolerant'."
This book of 95 pages is the diary
that Mr. Williams made on his event
ful journey overland, on horseback, to
Oregon in the year 1841-42, and his
writing style is direct, courageous.
Impulsive and occasionally Indiscreet.
He attacks the motives of Dr. John
McLoughlin and Rev. Jason Lee. He
spells the former name as "McLaugh
lin." (p. 52.)
Mr. Williams complains he was
troubled in spirit by the hard swear
ing of the white men with whom he
traveled, by horseback, to Oregon.
This is an occasional diary entry: "1
am still weary of hearing so much
swearing by the wicked white men."
(p. 36.) On his journey from his home
in Indiana, he rode horseback about 30
miles daily to St. Louis, hoping to
meet the company of travelers bound
for flrpcon. tout on reachine- St. Louis.
found" they had started, and he did
not find them until near the Missouri
river. On the way he narrowly es
caped falling Into the hands of In
dians, who were then on the war
path and eager to "get" whites. Mr.
Williams attributed his many escapes
to his many earnest prayers to God
for help.
Financial ability to take care of
his money was evidently not one of
Mr. Williams' gifts, for it appears
that after having just left St. Louis,
Mo., and before he met the company
of intending OregonCalifornia set
tlers, he spent all his monev and had
to sell a pair of saddle-bags for $2.
On the trail to Oregon the party
lived principally on buffalo meat, and
ere lucky to have several marks
men among them. There were 20
wagons belonging to the expedition
rawn by oxen. Mr. Williams often
reached and engaged In prayer, but
was p-ained by unbelievers. In cross
ing the ridge between the Creen river
nd the Missouri, the travelers found
these ruling prices: Sugar, $1.50 per
pound, and powder and lead from
1.50 to S2.50 per pound. At Fort
oise seven pounds of flour were sold
for one dollar. "We traveled over the
hills and got into the rich prairies,
camped on the Umatilla river, where
we saw a variety of fruits, black
aws and brown cherries, and trees
like the balm of Gllead, with pods and
gum on them. The Indians brought
some good sweet roots to sell to us."
When the travelers reached the Co
lumbia river they fell in with Indians
wlvp were religious and who sang and
prayed before they ate their fis(h.
The author adSs significantly: "At
this place some of our Methodist mis-
lonaries had preached.
Nearin-r this section, the travelers
'passed the Dalles or narrows, where
the Columbia river is contracted to
not more than 20 yards wide. We
rested at a Methodist mission three

ever saw in my life, mostly spruce.
pitch pine and fir trees. In these
thickets it is almost like night in
mid-day, so dense is the forest of
lange and heavy-topped trees. After
traveling eight days of a wearisome
journey, we reached the Methodist
mission at the falls of the Willam
ette river, where Brother Wilson and
Brother Waller are missionaries. HereJ

woods, and slept but little on ac

charged us nothing. . I went to hear
Brother Lasley, one of the mission
eries, preach on Sunday. He preached
cold, formal sermon. We had but
a small congregation, all dull and flat.
I said within myself, T fear the world
and speculation has too much influ
ence over t-hese missionaries. It is
vain for "men to come to this country
to teach the Indians the way to sal
vation and be so indifferent them
selves." These Indians are of the
Callapooyan tribe and the mission
aries have as yet learned little of
their language.
We started for Fort Vancouver,

f (T T is my opinion that one pulse-
beat of life is worth all your
chastity of form." This is the
saying of the heroine in Fannie
Hurst's first long novel. Says one

'pulsebeats of life,' some of them so
violent and prolonged as to lead one

Novel writing will soon have to be
classed with the dangerous trade-
that is, unless novelists give up using
names for their characters and sub
stitute figures or algebraic symbols.
Authors are constantly In danger of
libel suits from outraged Individuals
whose names they have unconsciously
utilized. Take Ethel Kelley now!
When she wrote "Beauty and Mary
Blair" she couldn't have been more
careful (or careless) in her selection
of her heroine's name. She just took
a New York telephone directory and
looked for a nice one-syllable name
that sounded well, to which she pre
fixed the non-committal "Mary."
After the book was published sha dis
covered Mary Blair, the actress, star
ring In Eugene O Neill s "Difierent."
Miss Kalley got there first, however,
with an invitation to Miss Blair to
tea.
The origin of the story Itself Is in
teresting too. Miss Kelley says she
was walking along Riverside drive
one day and she saw a young girl,
elaborately dressed, coming out of an
apartment house. There was a sad
ness and an aged expression in the
face that attracted Miss Kelley. She
began picturing that face in a story;

Prime Minister Arouses Ire
of Churchmen.
lllKlily- I-Iaced Divines Told They
Ought to Keen Out of Politics.
LONDON, July 30. Prime Minister
Lloyd George has aroused the
Ire of leading churchmen by telling
them that they ought to keep out of
politics.
The occasion was the general as-
sembly of Welsh Calvlnistic Metho
dists at Portmadoc. Wales, when the
premier delivered) an address, inr the
course of which he complained oC
public utterances .by highly placed
divines " at church conferences and
elsewhere on questions of the day
such as Ireland and the Industrial
unrest, which, he asserted, "they
were not m the least competent to
discuss." He stigmatized their ob
servations as ""interferences In the
tank- of B-overnment. which, if fol
lowed, are replete with mischief both
to the church and to the 6tate."
This indictment has aroused a
storm of protest and rebuke among
Mr. Lloyd Georges former colleagues
in the free churches, and resolutions
have been passed at various evangel
ical council meetings strongly dis
senting from the prime minister's at
titude.
Dr. John Clifford, veteran Baptist
leader, asserts that the premier's
doctrine is contrary to his own, which,
is that "the churches should take
such action as to secure the applica
tion of the principles of the gospel
of Christ to the political conditions
of the world."
More outspoken is -ley. H. J.
Taylor, a primitive Methodist leader,
who says: "The premier declares
that tbe business of the church and
his ministers is to mind their owa
job. Their job is to demand that ths
premier should practice religion In
the law of the land."

might be agreed, but that is very dif

"The government touches human, life
at every point, and the church -cannot
agree to refrain. from expressing
her opinion upon that which touches
all her members.
"We are going to make continuous
war upon ail that poisons the atmos
phere," continued the bishop, . "we
intend to have our politics impreg
nated with the right spirit that ot
Christlanity,".
