EQUINE CANTER TO BE POPULAR
Chamber Introdacee "Walla of the
Wind ana Cantrr Hesitation
Which Are Welt falcen
by Association.
Waiting tike the wind and cantering
like a horse will become popular society
diversions, according to Yf. B. Chambers,
Omaha dancing teaoner, who has re
turned from the thirty-first annual meet
ing of the National Aasoclatlon of Dan
cing Masters, held In Cleveland. The
waltt of the wtndi and the canter were
Introduced and adopted by the dancing
nrofessora, along with several other new
steps. The hesitation wait, the one-atep,
the maxlxe and the tango were unani
mously adopted aa standard dances.
The gathering of the wlnda. their
change, whirl and driving rush are typi
fied In the waltz of the wlnda, which
dance waa originated by Mr. Chamber
and made a hit with hi associates. He
Also created the canter hesitation and
the kiss waltt, tho latter being a atago
dance.
Beautiful rhythmic grace, rather than
th "bearcat" hug and wrlgglea now
characteristic of meet of the preaent
dunces, will be a feature of all the newest
dances to be taken up by society during
tlia late summer and fall, according to
Mr. Chamber. Tho popular mUlnterpre
tatlon of the Castle walk wilt lead to lta
early dismissal from select and proper
dancing, he asserts. .All th lateat ateps
wilt be the embodiment of grace and
rhythm.
Kerr Toneli-Me-Not Dance.
The Innovation, one of the newest ateps,
Is really an Innovation. It Is danced en
tirely without the partner touching each
other, even with their finger tips.
The half and half Is another beautiful
series of movements, half hesitation and
half walk, done to five-four timo. Tho
twinkle hesitation la so namod because
the atepa are changed In the twinkling of
an eye.
Canlera of nil sorts will prevail during
the next social season, Mr. Chambers
ays. In a general way they auggeat the
cantering of a horse, and are so graceful
and clever that the most up-to-date
dancer are already learning them.
The most distinct novelty In the new
season's dances Is tho ta tol, a derivation
of a Chlneso dance that Is done to musla
nlso derived from a Chinese tune.
Standards of technique and propriety,'
Upon which Mr. Chambers has persist
ently Insisted, met with decided approba
tion from his follow dancing masters. No
dance, no matter how finished, will main
tain high standards In the art, he asserts.
If tho moral standard Is disregarded. An
advantage of the lateat dance la that
when properly executed they are the
utmost In propriety aa well as being bril
liant example of graco and rhythm.
Omaha pupil of Mr. Chambers are al
ready ahowlng great aptitude In dancing
the newest steps, according to President
Z, l. Hlnmsn of tho national association,
who waa tho guest of tho local dancing
master on hi way to San Francjsco. He
especially commended tho Mlssea Mildred
House and Helen Kroner, two of Mr,
Chambers' pupil.

The widowed mother of five small chil
dren, Mrs. Henry Peters, XS4 North For

condition and neighbors have started a
fund to pay for a little home for the
family.
Henry Peters was drowned in Carter
lake last week. He waa employed n a
night watchman and had but 1300 Inaur-
ance. The Insurance has not been paid,
and friends of the woman believe that
the Insurance company may contest pay
ment on tho ground that Peters com
muted suicide.
Neighbors donated food for the family
after the death of the father, Several
church organisations also have extended
some aid to the family, but the real neces
sity now Is for a home for the mother and
her children.
An attempt Is being made by neighbors
to have the woman provided with a
mother' pension, but It will be some time
before tho pension can be allowed by the
juvenile court
Yesterday a committee of three neigh

Donations to the fund may be mailed
or left at tho City National bank, and

Clear Lake Among

above all others that attracts visitors la
It hotel, the Oaka, now owned and man
aged by the FranUe brother. The Oaks
Is conceded to bo tho finest summer re
sort hotel In Iowa and has close to -X)

Writing Insurance
Attracts the Three
Mullen Brothers
The three Mullen brothers, W. H.; O.
M. and P. D., all with the Commonwealth
Life of Omaha, a Nebraska company
that wrote some $2,2GO,OO0 business last
year and Is going to exceed that amount i
by severat hundred thousand dollars dur
ing 1914, comprise about as strong a team
of so'llcltora a's ever went Into the field.
With tho Commonwealth they arc among
Its most successful agents and an accept
able risk that they cannot land Is not
worth going after.
All three of tho Mullen brothers left
good paying professions and business to
engage in insurance work. W. 11. Mul
len, a dentist at Bloomfleld, thin state,
was the first to cast his lot with the
Commonwealth. Ho had a good- business.
but he liked to get out among people
and hustle. From the start he did well-
so well that it was not long Until hla
brother, O. M. Mullen, a dentist at Crelgh-
ton, got Into the insurance game with
the Commonwealth. Ho also did well
right from the start, so well that an
other brother, P. D. Mullen, in business
at O'Neill, applied for a position with
tho Commonwealth and was taken onto
the staff. Now the three men are In
the business to stay and by President
Nelson, they are looked upon as a trio
of workers, who can deliver the goods
under about all. conditions of circumstance.
Insurance Field News
Insurance People
Agitate Half-Holiday
The Foster-Baker Insurance agency
sometime ago Introduced the plan ot a
half holiday on Saturdays and tho move
has been noted by other agencies In the
city, with tho result that It is likely that
beginning July 1, most of the offices will
be closed Saturday afternoons at least
during July and August.
Insurance men who have given the mat
ter attention, contend that nothing Is lost
by giving tho clerks and other crriployes)
Saturday afternoons off. They take the
position that If an employe realizes that
the holiday Is in -sight, he, or she, will
work all tho harder and accomplish more
during the five and one-halt days than
during the six, with no possibility of a
few hours off.
Tornado Insurance
Is Given a Boost
The little tornado that passed over west
ern Iowa and a portion of South Da
kota last week, was a boost for tornado
Insurance, and tho Omaha agents derived
some benefit therefrom.
After tho Easter Sunday tornado that
swept over Omaha one year ago, local
Insurance agents placed millions of dol
lars In risks upon their books. -Tho busi
ness was so great that long before the
end Df last year they thought that every
thing In Omaha and Douglas county was
written, but not so. Tho next day after
the Iowa and South Dakota tornado, all
the Omaha agencies enjoyed an unusual
spurt of business and It still continues.

NAMING OF THE GOLDEN GATE
San Francisco's Harbor Kntrance
Got Its Title from General
Fremont.
The name Riven to the entrance ot tna
bay of San Francisco was not suggested,
as Is sometimes assumed, by the discov
ery of gold In California, although Its
bestowal occurred nearly concurrently
with that event
So far as we know, the first persons
to enter the harbor through the Golden
Gate wore the crew of a vessel com
manded by Lieutenant Juan Manuel ds
Ayala of the Spanish royal navy. This
was on the 5th of August, 1775. They
were shortly attorward followed by
Bruno Hoceta, who was under orders to
co-operate with Juan Bautlsta de Anza,
who had been dispatched overland to
effect an establishment on the bay ot
San Francisco. Heceta sailed from .Ian
Diego, and, after a protracted voyage,
arrived in tho harbor and laid the founda
tions ot Fort Point
So far as written 'records are con
cerned they are silent on tho subject
of naming" the entrance, and It Is prob
able that no one took the trouble to
apply a particular designation to It, al
though the Islands and points about the
bay were promptly supplied with apella
tlons. De Ayala Is credited with giving
to what Wo call Angel Island the name
ot Isle de loa Angeles, but he forgot to
christen the opening which gave access
to It from the Pacific.
Numerous vessels passed through the
entrance during the period between the
foundation of the Mission of San Fran
cisco and the American occupation !n
1S16, but there Is no Intimation in the
records which captains or their crews
have left us that it had been named.
The opening and the bay were described
by several skippers, and particular points
were referred to In a manner that matos
them recognizable, but no one seemed to
think that it was necessary to confer
