Delightful as it would be, very few
of u* are able to furnish a new home
completely when we first move into
it. But after all, it’s not necessary,
and for myself. I like to prolong the
thrill of buying new furniture and
making changes in my rooms.
For the bride who must choose the
first essentials in furnishings, it s
wise to begin by purchasing simple
things of good quality which may
later be shifted to other rooms. For
example. I knew a bride who started
off her dining room with a gateleg
table and Windsor chairs.
In a few years, when she was able
to furnish her dining room with the
permanent pieces of her dreams, the
gateleg table was promoted to the liv
ing room and the chairs were scat
tered throughout the house.
In a similar fashion, maple pieces
in a living room can be demoted to
the sunroom when mahogony and wal
nut can be afforded for a more for
mal living room.
So, first of all, make a list of the
furniture you must have in order to
begin keeping house—if you are a
bride. Then whether you are a bride,
or a housekeeper of long standing,
just moving into a new house, make
a list of the furniture you like and
want finally to acquire. Then check
with your budget, the architecture of
your home, your style of living and
the habits of the members of your
family
This presents the whole plan at a
glance and enables you to choose
wisely, so that each addition brings
you j us| t so much nearer to your
heart’s'desire.
Fall is an excellent time to start
new lawns and repair old ones. Mel
low, moist soil is essential for germin
ating the seed, and cool weather aids
in developing deep roots. The seed
bed should be deeply dug, finely rak
ed, and well fertilized. Sow seed at-
the rate of four pounds to 100 square
feet of lawn. Then roll or firm the
seed into the soil.
In an old lawn that is being re
newed, loosen the soil and feed it
well before sprinkling the grass seed.
THE
DOCTOR
There’s a new straight-sided glass
saucepan that has more uses than
you can count on both hands. You
will find it perfectly at heme on top
of the stove, in the oven, in the re-
frigeaator, or at the table. It’s light
to handle and easy to wash, as well
as being most attractive. For a
shower or bridge prize, it would be
sure to please and woman who does
her own work.

Dancing
Dancing is the child of Music and
of Love, says the poet, but often it
is the product of a diseased mind,
as I shall endeavor to demonstrate,
and the play of limbs and rhythmic
bodily movements of the dance only
too frequently indicate mental mala
dies.
Primitive men danced to keep them
selves agile and to give vent to
their pent up emotions. Then reli
gion made dancing a part of its cere
monies.
There was nothing graceful or
beautiful in these early dances, for
they consisted of jumping up and
down and howling, and lacked cadence
and rhythm.
The early Egyptians, about 5,000
B. C., began to make dancing an ex
pressive art, and later David danced
before the Ark; and the ancient He
brews had imposing dances for var
ious religious festivals. The Greeks
and Romans added oak leaves and
garlands of flowers to the sinuous
movements of the body.
The Howling Dervishes, the Devil
Dance of the Lamas in Thibet, the
Nautch Dances of India and the Var
ious dances of the North and South
AmeHcan Indians, were all religious
interpretations.
Even the early Christian Churches
favored dances, for in the church of
St. Pancras, in Rome, there still ex
ists a stage near the altar, where
priests and the congregation danced,
led by the Bishop.
This has since been discontinued,
for a Papal decree abolished this
form of worship in 744, since which
time dancing has become a form of
social entertainment. The minuet
was developed in 1650 in France;
the waltz in 1770 in Germany, from
which point it swept over both the
Old and the New World.
Unquestionably the greatest ex
hibition of mass hysteria was during
the Fifteenth century, which gave
birth to the so-called Dance Mania,
one of the “queerest emotional dis
orders that ever affected large groups
of human beings,” says Dr. Howard
W. Haggard.
Perhaps it had its inception in the
numerous unusual emotional dis
turbances which typified the opening
of that century.
Unheralded throughout Germany
and France, groups of people would
gather in the open places and pub
lic squares of cities and villages, join
hands to form an enormous ring, and
proceed to dance, slowly at first
but rapidly afterwards, contorting
their bodies, their eyes glazed,
screaming and jumping in wild ex
citement, as froth dripped from their
mouths.
Ultimately they fell exhausted,
their places in the ring of hysterical
people being promptly taken by
others who went through the same
gyrations, finally to coppapse.
Along country roads these mad
masses wended their way, recruits
joining them. Stores closed, business
came to a standstill and crowds of
curious followed the syncopators.
Lost children, whose parents had be
come deranged, added to the excite
ment.
In 1418, this mania reached its
climax in Strasbourg, Germany, and
one observer noted more than 2,5000
men and women, hands clasped with
their neighbors, in a gigantic ring,
executing this wild dance.
Finally it disappeared and since
then has not disturbed mankind.

HD WE. DEPT.
PREJUDICE .... Japanese
Out on the Pacific Coast, where
I spent some time last Summer, I
met a number of young people who
were very much worried because of
their neighbors. They were fine, up
standing young men and women,
native Americans, mostly university
graduates, using better English than
most of us usually do. But their
features were unmistakably Japanese.
California has got over hating the
Chinese, against whom violent prop
aganda was launched in the “gold
rush” days. But the people of the
West Coast have long been filled with
fear that the Japanese might land
ah army on their shores and take
possession of the country-
The war of Japan against China
has heightened their fears. Every
body with a sign of Japanese blood
is looked on with suspicion. No race
riots have started yet, but some
firebrands maj» arouse the unthink
ing masses any day, and half a million
or so fine young Americans will
have to hunt cover or fight for their
lives.
These are war times, and even
though we are not in the war racial
prejudices are aroused as they sel
dom are in peace time. It is just as
un-American to persecute people be
cause their ancestors were Japanese
as it ,would be to regard everybody
with a German name as a possible
Nazi spy.
RELIGION Klan
Even easier to arouse than racial
hatreds are religious hatreds. In my
New England boyhood, advertise
ments for help wanted often carried
the line "No Irish need apply.” The
prejudice against the Irish was not
because they were Irish, but
because they were Roman Catholics.
That prejudice was a holdover from
early days, when Catholics and Prot
estants were fighting for the throne
of England.
In the middle of the last century
a political party was formed and
gained a large following, on the
platform of keeping America for
Americans, as a place where all peo
ple were on an equal footing. The
American Party was generally call
ed the “Knownothings,” because its
members, when questioned, replied:
“I know nothing about it.” It was
aimed at keeping the Irish Catholics
out of this country.
In the 1920’s an equally vicious
demonstration of religious prejudice
was given by the Ku Klux Klan,
which was aimed particularly at
Catholics and Jews. The Klan be
came so powerful in the South that
no' one could hope to be elected to
public office, in some states, unless
he were affiliated with that unpatriot
ic, un-American organization, which
still has a considerable following in
some regions.
CRISTIANITY . . . intolerance
The most dangerous movement to
ward arousing religious and racial
prejudices is, it seems to me, the so-
called “Christian Front.” It is an
anti-Jewish movement, led by a Ro
man Catholic priest, whose attacks
on the radio and printed attacks on
Jewish citizens have brought him a
great number of unthinking followers.
It is dangerous not only to the na
tion but to the church of which its
instigator is a priest; for it is the
sort of propaganda which often kicks
back. It would be just as serious
and just as un-American to have an
anti-Catholic movement gain ground
in these days as to encourage an anti-
Jewish movement.
Fortunately the radio priest does
not speak for his church, though ma
ny people think that he does. A com
mittee of Catholics headed by a bish
op of that church has been formed to
fight all religious and racial intoler
ance, especially anti-Jewish intoler-

It would be contrary to the bed
rock American principle of free
speech to try to prevent anybody
from saying what he pleases, so long
as it does not incite to riot or rebel
lion against the government.
SANITY punishment
No sane or responsible American
takes seriously the charges made
against any racial or religious group.
Unfortunately, many people are not
quite sane and more are irresponsible.
Two young men who made public
anti-Jewish speeches were brought
before a New York magistrate lately
on the charge of disorderly conduct.
I think that Magistrate Curran, him
self a Catholic, put bis finger on the
nub of the whole matter, when he
sentenced the youths to jail until
Christmas.
“We have a country dedicated to
free speech, religion, and press,” he
said, “but these borders are exceed
ed by some people who musit be pun
ished. Now, with the \»orld on fire,
it is not safe to speak against a
whole race. It has got to stop. The
Christian Front and the Christian
Mobilizers slander the name of Chris
tianity. They do not speak for it.
They drag it through the dust.”
Reminding the prisoners that the
founder of Christianity was a Jew,
the magistrate ’•emarked, as they
were led away, that America probab
ly would be the only place in the
world where they would find the
Christian ideal of peace on earth,
goodwill to men, in operation when
they get out of jail at Christmas.
UNAMERICAN Dies
The disclosures of the Dies Com
mittee seem to make it plain that the
Hitler government is responsible for
the stimulation of anti-Jewish senti
ment in America, through the notor
ious German-American Bund, while
the Russian Soviet has been shown
up as the financial backer of the
Communist movement in this coun
try.
I hate to think it possible that the
people of this country will fall into
their trap. But it is up to all true
Americans to watch their steps and
not to swallow un-American propa
ganda, from whatever source it seems
to come.
