"You can't get a toothpick be tween these 'hip hounds' who are making immodest dancing a rule rather than an exception." Mrs. Bruner declares. She raps the "soul caress" of the Trance step. Night after night of this "pur ple paradise" puts pale and pallid cheeks on the children of jazz, ma trons report, but, when such cheeks meet, Sheik and Sheba catch each other by the nape of the neck and around the back a cross between a headlock and a half-nelson and, Mass Kathleen Baldwin, Register c)osing their eyes, move away in of Heeds for Columbus county and semi.consciounseSs. candidate for re-election in June primary.

Politics may "be all right as long as it confines itself to political matters, but it is a curse to a nation when it dips into business. The tax question is a problem of business pure and simple and should not be a vote get ting vehicle for republican or demo cratic politicians. Tree Monday Morning Orangeburg, S. C, April 25.
