It had its parallel in Massachusetts, in the theocracy set up by persons who ) fled England to obtain religious lib > erty. Quakers were tried by judges ) who corresponded to inquisitors; and > sentenced to be beaten and forced to ) leave the colony. Women Quakers - were driven naked through the streets 9 to exile, and some were hanged. In Boston, 25b years ago today, Obediah Holmes was whipped because he was a Baptist. (Today, Baptists are the most num erous Protestant denomination in Mas ' sachusetts). i As pointed out here a few days ago,, religious bigotry was rampant not only in early Massachusetts but in New York, Pennsylvania and other colonies.

V “By- JamesAs^eH New York, Sept. 16.—Whether “The Big Apple” and “The Shag” started elsewhere deep inland and were im ported to Manhattan like most other novelties, or whether they originated here and are still unknown west of the Hudson, I do not know. But the new dance Obsessions seem to prove that there are only a limited number of gyrations which the human feet ' can execute on a polished floor. I have watched “The Big Apple” ' performed by experts; and either I am growing old or the antics aren’t worth the perspiration they require. For one thing the steps aren’t new. “The Big Apple”—which enjoys also the most irrelevant and colorless name of any of the jigs of recent years—seems to be a combination of truckin’, the Charleston and a Vir ginia Reel set to swing time. Indeed all the new, or allegedly new, dances of the past ten years have borrowed heavily from the Char leston. And, desperate for new pat terns into whidh dancing feet can fall, f the innovators have substituted a prodigal activity and much goggle eyed whirling for genuine novelty. Some of the youngsters in the throes of “The Big Apple” are engrossing to watch for the sheer animal ex uberance of their dervishing, and they form, often, bizarre patterns on the floor. But that approaches ballet more closely than it does ballroom danc ing; ballet or perhaps the folk dance, for' the new mazurkas require, like most other matters in these depress ing days, a vast communal activity. Doing “The Big Apple,” all the cou ples on the floor seem interchange able and -working toward a single mobile design—a vast Harlem-quin ade, a butcher a word. This is all right, for a brief, press agented hour in the sun, so long as it is performed £y troupes of young sters. For the ballroom it offers no more than the newest posturings of the Wigman dancers, or the latest contortions of the Ritz Brothers. Elderly couples could and often did manage a dignified counterfeit of the Charleston, but once people past thirty begin monkeying with the ex ertions of “The Big Apple,” the am bulances may as well back up to the door, well stocked With pulmotors and digitalis. I have mentioned the Charleston. There was a dance. It was fresh, in genious, satisfying; audiences watch ed Miss Ann Pennington—in one of the “Follies” of the early twenties — perform its neat patterings and rush ed home to practice before a mirror. The Charleston was the perfect dance step because it was new and it de pended on the dextrous movements of the feet rather than on propelling the body through space with a cute wav ing of the arms and twisting of the neck, or on folkish exchange of part ners to swing time. Moreover, all you had to find was one partner who could Charleston. Now a party of young people must all be adept at the Big Apple for the dance to come off without a hitch. For it is a mass movement. It is ball room dancing organized by the C. I. O. Shall we sit this one out? Whippets do not eat before a race and a lot of humans who bet on them don’t eat afterward.

Turkeys do not reach a good market able size until they had had 24 to 28 weeks f even, rapid growth, accord ing to C. F. Parrish, extension poultry specialist at State College. Feeding experiments have shown that proper feeding and care is par ticularly important during the grow ing period, he added, as any serious interference with the growth rate may result in deformed breast bonds and delayed maturity. Most turkeys to be marketed during the holiday season will soon reach the finishing period, he continued. During ,this time, any change in en vironment is likely to check the rate of growth. League Will Invite U. S. To Give Aid (Continued from Page Ore.) many forms of Italian intervention in Spain. He demanded the Council take steps to protect the “legitimate rights” of his regime, and Spanish govern ment ships be granted the protection of Nyon nine-power anti-piracy scheme set up to stop marauding sub marines . In reply, Yvon Delbos, French for eign minister, who presided at Nyon, explained the conferees had achieved all that was possible at the time. He said attacks by surface craft and air planes on Mediterranean shipping were on the agenda for an early meet ing ,by the Nyon powers. New Zealand interposed a new note —a proposal for an internationally controlled plebiscite of Spain to de termine whether the people want their present socialist government or the Fascist insurgents. United States Must Decide Quick dispatch of invitations to Washington and 22 other capitals made it certain the United States must soon decide if she will cooperate with the committee, on which a rep resentative formerly served. By its action, the League also push ed into the background any questions of sanctions against Japan, at least for the time. With China’s conditional approval, the League shelved the ap peal under the covenant Article XVII, the sanctions section.
