HI* Old Dances to Be Back in 1940 I " 1 11 " 4 I Expert* Predict Graceful Sequence Movement* Also in Vogue. NEW YORK.?It's just plain swing now?but any minute it's going to be "swing?your partner!"" The old, familiar whoop of "Promenade" soon will be ringing and jitterbugs who thought grandpa couldn't take it are due for a rude and breathless awakening. That was the warning sounded here by dance experts from all parts , of America and Canada attending their'annual convention. More than 390 disciples of Terpsichore compared notes while orchestras blared | and revealed what dancing America can expect during the coming fall and winter seasons, j For, say they, dancing?like everything else including history and [ the movies^has whirled around its cycle and is back where the old! sters gave it up in favor of sitting [ out a few. Fairs' Influence Seen. Influence of World's fairs in San I Francisco and New York is popuj larizing the energetic routines of ! European killer-dillers. Lindy-hoppers, shaggers and truckers, who think they have danced everything the human anatomy .can stand, will have to learn a few new tricks if they want to lead the parade, the educators said. o They pointed out that when you tear into a Russian "Korobochka" you want to be sure all arms^and legs are firmly attached. Ballroom exits shoi^ld be well lighted in casei* of emergency. Cedric J^indsay of Flushing, N. Y., president of the Dancing Educators of America, explained the trend and offered the consensus of the instructors on what impending dance programs will feature. He said: "Naturally, all this isn't going to happen overnight. Wild and inaccurate predictions on dancing have been made in the past and Just didn't turn out. Find What Dancers Want. "So we'rp not trying to tell America what to do?we're just prophesy- * ing what we think the dancers have decided they want. . "Some of the Lindy-hoppers will continue in the groove and enjoy it. But the more moderate dancers have indicated they like the kind of sequence dances so popular during the past year?like the Lambeth Wdlk, the Chestnut Tree and the Palais Glide. "That gives us a tip-off on what to bring out next. All indications point to great popularity for modernized versions of movements seen about the turn of the century. "In these, only two persons will dance together?but each couple on the floor will perform the same movements at the same time?the music marking the changes. "In this category are the 'RyeWaltz,' 'The Heel-and-Toe Polka,' 'The Oxford Minuet,' 'the Gavotte,' and the 'Three Step.' It will bring back the unison and grace which a floor full of dancing persons once presented. "Livelier numbers of this kind also introduce a gayety and friendliness into the ballroom which has been missing for many years." Tree Become* Memorial For Pioneer Surveyor COEUR d'ARLENE, IDAHO.?A large white pine tree which stands east of Coeur d'Arlene has an historical aura to tourists who visit Mullan state park in northern Idaho. ? The tree marks the spot where Capt. John Mullan and his band of soldiers celebrated the Fourth of July, 1861, while building the Mullan military road from Fort Benton, Mont., to Walla Walla, Wash. Captain Mullan was among ihe j first white men to survey the area. Ordinal explorations there were made in 1853 by Isaac Stevens, the first territorial governor of what is now the state of Washington. Didn't We Get 'Em All?

The next day police arrested two Negroes who were offering fat hens for sale cheap. "Why didn't you get them all?" Maner asked one of the Negroes in police lineup. "Boss, we thought we got 'em aU?' the Negro answered.

Rapid Growth of Industry In United States Is Source of Wonder. WASHINGTON, Q, C.?The rapid growth of hydroelectric power in the United States is emphasized by the announcement that the addition of a seventh huge generator makes the Boulder dam plant the largest in the world, with a present capacity of 860,000 horsepower and a potential production of more than twice that amount. "Water power itself is of ancient lineage; water wheels were in use on the Nile, the Euphrates, and the Yellow river at least 3,000 years ago," says thb National Geographic society. "A few old water wheels are still grinding in the Blue Ridge mountains, the Great Smokies, and elsewhere in' the United States. ? In 1834 the townof Laxey, on the I Isle of Man, made power history j with a gigantic water wheel more than 72 feet in diameter, developing 150 horsepower. Water piped down from the hills turned the big wheel to pump water from the lead mines. It would take 5,733 ^uch 72-foot wheels to equal Boulder dam's present power. First Plant in Wisconsin. "The first hydroelectric central plant in the United States was set up in a small frame building less than 20 feet square at Appleton, Wis., in 1822. There now are 2,869 electric water-power plants in the United States, counting only those of 100 horsepower and over. "The turbine, successor to the ancient water wheel, had been in process of development more than 30 k years?starting in Europe?when the Appleton plant was established. Improvements in turbine design have continued until today one turbine develops 1,000 times the power of the giant water wheel on the Isle of Man, or 150,000 horsepower. "Before the close of the past century, the era of hydroelectric power had begun. A plant had been erected at Oregon City in 1889, and three years later another at Ames, Colo.; a plant in California delivered power to Pomona and San Bernardino the same year. In 1893 a central plant was built at the mouth of Hill Creek canyon in southern California, and another at Hartford, Conn. "Some measure- of the vastness of the hydroelectric industry today is indicated by the 38 power dams in the United States 200 feet high and over, ranging upwards to Boulder dam, 727 feet high, on the Colorado river between Arizona and Nevada. Here the power house is two city blocks long and as high as a 20-story building. It turns factory wheels 250 miles away and lights the streets of Los Angeles. High Class Engineering. "These hydroelectric plants are gigantic engineering accomplishments. The Grand Coulee dam in Washington, now second in height, is 4,300 feet long. It is of concrete 'and is the most massive man-made structure in the world, having three times the volume of the largest Egyptian pyramid. The Shasta dam, 12 miles north of Redding, Calif., when completed will be the second largest concrete dam in the world, 3,500 feet long and rising five feet higher than the Washington monument. It will be the highest overflow dam in the world, the water from the 375-foot spillway dropping 480 feet, three times the height j of Niagara falls. "The backbone of the Tennessee valley development is a 10-dam sys- 1 tern to harness the Tennessee river j for navigation, flood control and j power production. When completed, the dams will have an initial production of 844,000 horsepower The total cost of these multiple-purpose dams will be slightly less than $500,000,000, of which amoutft about hall is to be charged to power. At present, four TV A dams are com pleted and in operation and, as a unit, produce 560,000 horsepower. The system as a whole is scheduled to be functioning by 1945. "The production of electricity by water power in the United States has almost tripled in the past 20 years, and has increased to about 40 per cent of the country's electric plant output." India Hears of Ascetics Keeping Faith in Death PATNA, INDIA.?The following "story has reached here from a village in Shahabad, where the incident is said to have occurred: Six Jain ascetics were sitting in meditation in the village temple. The room was lighted by a hanging ! oiljamp which suddenly fell on the straw on which they sat, setting it aflre. The ascetics, forbidden to move or talk during religious meditation, sat still while the flames rose around them' Three died of burns and the other three were taken to the Arrah hospital in a precarious condition. i ?
