London, July 9.—TSie attempt of those who govern dancing in England to kill off the Charleston has failed.. Now that the Prince of Wales has given his approval to the eccentric American steps by dancing them at K ? v lT al rw ' ent parties, notices for liidaing the Charleston have been re nwfired from a number of leading hotel ballrooms, while authorities de clare that the new dance has ap parently come to stay! * V Protests are still made by non- Cbarlestoners that the violent kick ing of the dancers is dangerous and should be prohibited, and it is pos sible thht a “Charleston conference” . W 'U be held, in London in the Au tumn to draw up a code for the Charleston and specify just what steps will be permitted in public ball-rooms. The Dancing Times, official organ of professional dancingg circles, sum ming up the “Chafleston situation,” says that all arguments on the sub ject must be based upon two “incon testable facts—“ First, a very large section, of the'.dancing public wish to dance the Charleston”, and Second, .the majority.of those who do Charleston are not only a intjs- Wnce, hut even a source of danger ‘to other dancers.” ; i Dnncifig authorities, how rccognizp tpat they.arc powerless to get rid of the Charleston because of its popu larity among all classes of society, in cluding royalty, and that the best they can do is to guide its evolution into something quieter and more sedate. t communications within the h Empire are being developed so rapidly that , definite schedules have been worked out for flying from London to tin* leading Dominions. Thftsc include: To India, four days; to Australia, ten days; to New Zealand, twelve day: to Cape Town, six days; to Canada, two and a half days.. Constant experiments nre : being carried out with ships designed to to operate on these routes, although 'Uf expected that a few years will V before regular services for paosengers and light freight are es tablished. In the case of Canada, the competion of the fast steamships makes it difficult to establish a trans-Atlantic route. Tlie Bribery and Secret Commis sions Prevention League has opened a campaign against blackmailing ser vants whs compel firms to give them commissions for letting them have the trade of their employers. L. \ indon. a South Kensington florist, alleged iu a statement to the league that an organization exists among cooks and other servants in fashionable households with the sole object of exorting commissions from tradesmen, the petty blackmailers waxing rich on their daily graft. “If * tradesman refuses to pay toll,” said Viudon, “the cook deli berately spoils the food he supplies.

But there was no settlement. A fair settlement wa» found impossible at the, present time and ip the present humor of the people. So we shall hear of Tacna Arica yet for a long time to come perhaps. i The United States made tin honest - effort to help, and for her reward she got what the ■ would-be peqee-maker often gehH-abuse. That was one of the saddest things about it. This country had no selfish motives—there was room for none. She contributed ' money, material, time and labor in . tie interest of peace on the Ameri | can continent and fellowship among Americans, but from some of the , epithets applied to her, and accusa ; tiqns made against her she was held up as the darkest villain of.the whole drama. ■/ First General Porting and then , General Lassiter spent months of their v.ery best efforts to .prepare for the plebiscite that was to settle the age-old dispute, according .to., the award of the arbiter, President Cool idge. They found conditions there about as calm and- benign as aroiftid a beehive just turned over. Their every, move was looked upon with suspicion and attempts were constantly made to thwart them. They lingered and labored in a patient but vain attempt to nduce a more peaceful atmosphere and a piore reasdhabte state of mind. But everybody 'kept getting madder; violence increased, and there was no end in sight. Gen. Lassiter told tne world in a simple plain statement what, the trouble 'was.

Thereupon . the Chileans showed tbcmselyek in th*r natural colors. ‘ Mobs formed before General Lassi ter’s house and shouted insults. The newspapers began to declare that j Chile would never give up .the terri tory. One of them declared that, “Chile, Pern and Bolivia were called upon to destroy each other, and de ‘ liver into the hands of the dragon of ; the north the product of their best ! energies.” Porihe* President ~ Al ’ essandria at Washington gave out an f acrid statement culminating in the [ declaration' that henceforth be would : preaeh that “'in opposition to the J Monroe doctrine we must stand' and ! proclaim,, all together and upited, ‘Latin America for Latin Aineri- E cans'.” , ,j s , ' ' So the peace-maker comes ont , with, the scars, of battle, , Though there is something tq deplore there is j nothing to regret.

MAC’S OPINION DOESN’T CARRY MUCH WEIGHT mmm mm *. r-r-7—7— rrjr ~ ‘ -. 1 MORE “BUTTER AND EGG" MEN IS THE NEED A., >< ... .. M —“ . .... Gov. McLean Telia What Dairying Has Done for Other States. Tribune Bureau f Sir Walter Hotel 1 Raleigh, July SI, —More nutter and 1 P SB men—but principally of the but • ter variety—is what North Carolina needs, despite the vaudeville jokes • newspaper stories in which "but *-er ®nd egg men” figure. Governor • A. W. McLean told the board of ag riculture in its annual-meeting, stress-, , tng the need _for greater development 1 of the dairying industry in the state; * 1 The governor cited instances of whet s dairying had done for other states in I the So util and called attention to the ; fact that North Carolina ran away I down at the bottom of the list in , dairying, yearly importing vast - amounts of milk and butter to supply the demand in the state, t As a result, machinery was set in 1 motion looking toward the slimula -1 tjon of dairying in this state' and 1 plans are to be worked out to get the farmers of the state more inter -1 ested in dairying. Meetings are to he held, where experts will explain how dairying has been increased in Other states and who will show hbw it wjJl increase the farmers dollars, in tfiis state. Experts will be sent to other localities, principally Mis sissippi, to see what dairying has ac complished there, and these observers will; report what they found to the fnrmers of North Carolina. This is the tentative plan. Efich person in North Carolina,An j.an .average, eats at least seventeen pounds of butter a year, according . to the latest statistics available. Os this seventeen Bpunds, only ten pounds nre profiiiced in the state, the other seven having'to be shipped in. And of the ten pounds produced at home, phly ope of the ten pounds is cream ery butter, the other nine pounds be ing country butter, mostly of low grade. Putting this in total figures, North Carolina produces in round figures about 25.000,000 pounds of 'country butter and about 2,000.000 pounds of creamery, while the total supply needed to provide for the wants of the people in the state is about 43.504,501 pounds yearly, or nearly 10,000,000 pounds more than lis made here. So much for the butter. And now for tlje milk situation. It is a well known fact that at pres ent the creameries in the larger cities are constantly compelled to ship milk in from sources outside tile state to supply file demand, much of it com ing from points as far distant as Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin. In fact, the Southern Dairies. Inc., which specialjjzes in making ice cream, and which has creameries and sales depots in Charlotte, Salisbury, High Point, Albemarle; Greensboro, Rocky Mount,-Wilson, Henderson, Greenville j and Burlington, ships milk and cream to ifs plants bv the car load, chiefly from the dairy sections of Pennsyi- I vauia. Ail of those plants would j much prefer to buy direct from t'.ie I farmers in their territory, hod the farmers, UT (Ms territory milk arid cream to sell. -But they do not have it. “North Carolina farmers cannot got away from the idea that milking I cows is a woman’s work—or at least not a man’s work.” Governor McLean said not long ago in discussing the same question, aiid members of the department of agriculture bear hint out. sayipg that many farmers of the Statw simply will not raise cows ,and kf'ep a dairy herd because Cue/ did not like to “both” with miikiiig them and the careful attrition Which must be given a dairy herd. But a failure or two in the cotton crop may show the North Carolina farmers what it has shown the farm ers of Mississippi, and Chat is that butter and Hwilk command a good price the year around, no matter what the price of cotton may be, and that the boll, weevil may have been a friend in disguise, in that it brought dairy fanfuing and crop diversifica tion, at the same time cutting the bill fpr, commercial fertilized in half, by providing a quantity of barn-made even greater efficacy. “Proper Food and Exercise," by ARTHUR a.
