The Return of the waltz, "poetry f motion," aj the bards have named it, is heralded by W. E. Chambers, local dancing master, on his return Wednesday from New York, where he attended the annual meeting of the Dancing Masters' Association of America. "Not only will we dance the waltz more than ever since it was put into the discard by the tango, one-step and fox-trot, but there will be a great many waltz steps in all the other dances essayed," said Mr. Chambers. War's effect on dancing will be noted in public places this winter, where dancing will be discontinued in many instances, Mr. Chambers be lieves. "But young people will want to dance anyway, and there will be almost as many private dancing par ties as in the past." "If there are men with whom to dance. So many of them have gone to war," one sweet young thing in terpolates. Fox-trots and one-steps will fol low the valtz in popularity. A new waltz introduced by Mr. Chambers was adopted by the Danc ing Masters' association. He brought home the new steps introduced there, among them the "Inner Circle Tan go," the "Jazz," the "Ramble" and the "Toddle." While east, Mr. Chambers studied Italian methods "with Stefano Mas cagno, a graduate of the ballet school at Milan, who is now in New York. He also took special instruction from the Russian dancers, Vestoff and Serova, and the Misses Moles and Hubbell at the Castle School of Dancing.

Chase RMUWlTiJPFC.M nim An Omaha girl, Helena M. Chase, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clement Chase, took one of the four honor able mentions given by the Art Alli ance of America at its exhibition in New York City last week of war post ers to be used' in advertising the next Liberty loan. There were 319 de signs submitted by some of the best known artists of the country and ex amined by a very distinguished com mittee of awards, including W. Frank Purdy, president of the art alliance; Frank Vanderlip, president of the National City bank, and Mrs. Vander lip, chairman of the poster commit tee of the federal woman's Liberty loan committee; J. Herbert Case, vice president of the Farmers Loan and Trust company, and Lieutenant Her bert Reuterdahl, U. S. A.' No names of the artists were known, all beeing submitted under symbols. Miss Chase, who is spending the summer with Mrs. Chase at Wood stock, in the Catskilli, the colony of the Art League of New York, has been asked to have her design go with the other winners to Washing ton, where it will be shown next week at the Corcoran Art gallery at the special request of the Treasury department. The exhibition in New York proved so popular that it was extended into this week. The New York Sun says of "Little Mother," Miss Chase's poster, that it "makes an especial appeal to children." It shows three little orphans silhou etted in black atop the world in bright blue against an orange sky. A statuette by Miss Chase, "Day Dreams," has been in the children's room of the Omaha public library for two years. She is now 16, a pu pil of Miss Wheeler's school at Provi dence, R. I.

"Why did you park your machine for such an interminable length of time on Harney street?" asked Judge James Fitzgerald of a pretty little girl in police court. It was a new hat, she said. "I found the most adorable one, and when I was trying it on why, I just forgot, that's all." ' With the fine added to the cost of the hat.'it made after all a rather ex pensive bit of millinery. Were you going to the South pole," inquired the judge of C. Strout, 517 Pierce street, who was charged with speeding south on Thirteenth street at the rate of forty miles an hour with his cutout open. "It looked like I was on my way." admitted Strout. "Five dollars and costs," was his fine. . I. G. Kite, F. Ames, R. Ryness, J. Bighi, all received $1 and costs for operating automobiles with open cut outs. W. P-ierce was fined $1 and costs for violating the boulevard or dinance. Grain Men Balk Attempt To Raise Freight Rates The Omaha road has been balked in its attempts to raise freight rates to all points on its lines in Nebraska. An application for a raise of 5 to 14 cents per 10Q pounds had been filed with the Interstate Commerce commission, to become effective September -1. The Omaha Grain exchange pro tested the advance and now comes word that a snspension has been or dered until December 30, the old rates applying in the meantime. The Omaha road is operating under a blanket rate and the plan was to abolish this and make the new rate a combination of the locals. It is said that the application of the proposed rate would be a serious blow to the Omaha grain market. Disposition of Money From Crane Sale in Doubt A stumbling block has been thrown in the way of turning into depleted city funds the $8,000 received from the sale of the city's dredge and crane. It was intended by the coun cil to do this in order to reimburse the funds. Now Corporation Counsel Lambert comes along and gives it as his opin ion that the $8,000 can be covered into the funds, but that it must be apportioned pro rata. The disposi tion of the money will.be determined next Monday, when the council meets in committee of the whole. Guy Liggett, 'president of the Pan torium, cleaners and dyers, takes ex ception to a statement given out by some of the small cleaners that the big fellows had raised the price on them. Mr. Liggett says" that some of the smaller plants were trying to do a wholesale business and that they had raised the price from 40 cents to 75 cents, the price always charged by the big fellows. "The facts are that the three larg est plants in Omaha have never charged less than 75 cents for clean ing suits for tailors and small clean ers; this does not include any press ing either,"' said Mr. Liggett. "During the twenty years I have been man ager of the Pantorium we have never cleaned one suit at wholesale for less than 75 cents and when we increased prices last April 10 per cent our wholesale price went to 85 cents, where it is now. "Another thing, none of the big cleaning plants in Omaha will accept work for tailors or cleaners who charge less for the finished job than they themselves would charge for it. "It is true that there were twc or three small plants in the city who did wholesale work for 35 to 40 cents per suit, but have, I understand, re cently raised their prices to 75 cents. "There is just as much difference in the quality of cleaning as in qual ity of clothing and there is also a difference in the prices charged by the various cleaning plants in Omaha; We who do quality work get quality prices, and always have, and naturally object to the statement you make that we have been doing work for half what it is worth." Six Women Qualify in Surgical Dressing Work The second cards of six women who took the surgical dressings train ing under Miss Nellie Calvin arrived from Washington headquarters Wed nesday and qualify the following wo men to act as instructors in the work: Mesdames Frank Judson, J. O. Good win, Leigh Leslie, E. C. Twamley, Bena Yetter and W. J. Metland re ceived cards, and together with Mrs. E. L. Bridges Mrs. O. C Redick, Miss Carolyn Bark-alow, Mrs. C. L. Burdict and Miss Marie Proulx are the only women who have received their second certificates from head quarters, although a number of other women ,have taken the course. "Owing to the vast amount of red tape in connection with the Red Cross work and the tardiness in the arrival of the second cards, the work in the st'te has been hampered," said Mrs. Z. T. Lindsey, "I have hundreds of requests from out in the state for surgical dressings teachers. Those who have received their cards will be sent out as soon as further instruc tions arrive from the Chicago head quarters." Carver Starts Roundup of ' Truant School Children Attendance Officer Carver of the Board of Education has commenced rounding up the boys and girls under 16 years of age who are not attending school.

These permit them to remain out of school. All under the age of 14 years, however, will be compelled to attend the schools in the districts in which they reside.

When you are driving a car up a dark road in the black of night and another car bears down on you, both you and the other driver lower your glaring headlights if you are gentle men who follow "the rules of the road." In the heart of the big city traffic policemen will see that you keep to the right, park your car on the proper side of the .street and make your turns around just the proper islands and corners. But out in the open country there is nothing to bold you to proper courtesy except your own willingness to abide by "the rules of the road." Life is very largely a matter of open country and "the rules of the road." A great many people seem to feel that there is no particular ob ject in playing fair if they can "get away" with cheating and evading rules. Rule breakers often manage very nicely for a long time but at some stage of the game they can almost be guaranteed to "come a cropper" and let themselves in for a very bad smashsp. Now to return to our automobile which is a good enough illustration of the fact that some of us are glad that we have 5 cents carfare. If a car is proceeding full speed up the wrong side of the road at about forty miles an hour it is not startling that it should dash into another with a hor rible toll of death and destruction. There is the supreme penalty for breaking the rules of the road. Perhaps the car which is hurtling through the dark at forty miles an hour only smashes itself. If there are witnesses to prove that it was on the wrong side of the road, going too fast, the driver has no redress and many even have damages to pay. ' Breaking the rules of the road fla grantly and openly always leads to damages. Men have, through long years of legal training and of direct dealing with the law, acquired a certain re spect for law and order which we women folk are a bit slower in get ting. With them there is a knowl edge that honesty is the best policy, whereas with women honesty gets the accent as a sentimental and beautiful thing quite apart from its practical value. Rules and regulations and laws are made by men, so naturally they have a bit more respect for laws in gen eral than have we, who know how unfair are certain laws in particular. Bu that does not excuse us from smashing certain rules all to pieces and trading on our sex to help us get away with our offenses. Have you ever stood in a group of fifty or a hundred people waiting for seats in a crowded motion picture Advice to Lovelorn By Beatrice' Fairfax Much Ado About Nothing. Dear Mlsi Falrax: Nearly (our year ao I was Introduced to a girl whom I have learned to lovo dearly. Our friendship re mained unbroken until about lz month ago, when we had a misunderstanding over her action during a vacation. We were separated for about two month when at the request of a member of her family, I called at her home, and matter were settled satisfactorily. I have since learned that during her vacation she met a young man who became attached to her. Sometime I am doubtful of her love for me In view of the fast that sh desire to return to this young man' town and cor reiponds with htm. T. E, O. v I think you are making much of a iltua tton which doe not exist. If you are suspici ous, and jealous, 'you are likely to drive the girl you love toward the very course yon do not want her to take. If aba really cares for the other man you must accept your defeat manfully. K she doe not, and you have a little patience and tact, the thing will bum Itself out. But If you try to force the situation you will arouse hu man nature's natural contrariness. Impolite. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 23 and have gone about with a girl of 21 for two years. I have taken her to receptions, and on one occasion she went to her home with another man. I epoke to her about this, but ihe did not seem to see much harm in it. She ha repeated the same thing again, and on each occasion put m in rather an embarrassing position, J. M. This is not question of "harm," but of good manners. It was distinctly Impolite and discourteous of the girl you had es corted to a party to go home with someone else. I suggest to the girl that she put herself in your place and try to Imagine how she would feel were you to treat her as he a treated you.

It is generally the women who dash down the aisle and almost knock over the people who are leav ing in an effort to get the seats they have vacated. If men did a thing like that they would be called cads and they know it. But women will only be laughed at good naturedty. I frequently lunch in a very large tea room on the avenue which has an almost exclusive feminine clien tele. When the place is crowded, the women look about to see who has arrived at the pastry and hot choc olate stage, and then stand ner vously and irritably waiting for the lunchers to finish, in order that they may dash in and take their places. It isn't a bit polfte or chivalrous, and the rules of the road ought to say: "Take your time, wait your turn placidly and don't give nervous indi gestion to people who are occupying the place you covet? Most of life is a matter of taking your turn, or standing in line, of wait ing for the call, "Next!" either in the doctor's office, at the ticket office or in the jam for a crowded car. A little courtesy to the man ahead of you and a little decent appreciation of the fact that the man behind you is as anxious to arrive as you are all work in as part of the rules of the road. Consideration, courtesy, good hu mor, and a friendly acceptance of crowding and pushing and shoving will all help do away with crowding and pushing and shoving. Help to ease up the other chap's burden is not likely to make your own apprecia bly heavier. Every time you refuse to wait your turn, every time you en danger other people's comfort for your own, or demand more than your share of room, you are smashing up the simple traffic laws which insure your comfort and safety as surely as they do those of every one else. It isn't "sporting" to break the rules of the road, and it frequently gives you a moment's extra time, an instant or two of comfort and achievement, but that doesn't help you much when you pay for your in fringement of the rules in terms of the discourtesy and law-breaking you have helped to make popular.
