PRINCE AND MODERN DANCING,
"Jazz" is dead as the Dodo; Long live El Chucho! With these words in effect, the Imperial Society of Dance Teachers concluded their week of terpsichorean cogitations, and on July 20th sat down at the Holborn Restaurant to a delight- ful dinner and a still more delightful exposition of the dances-El Chucho in particular-which are to be the vogue in all the best of London's private dance. rooms and the biggest of London's ball- rooms this coming winter. And what, it may be asked, is El Chucho? As ita hame implies The Switch "it is a combination of steps from such dances as the one-step, fox-trot, Boston and hesita tion waltz, Tango and American banter. There is nothing freakish or extravagant about it. It was first danced at the recent Paris Congress, and should, in the opinion of the leading London teachers, become highly popular. The steps are familiar enough, but the ensemble' pre- duces an entirely new effect.
All this we learned, and much more, at the society's banquet. Major Cecil Taylor (of Leeds) occupied the presidential chair. and Mr. Charles d'Albert, the famous teacher, how bon.secretary, organised the pleasant proceedings.
Major Taylor said that the teachers. hid derived the keenest pleasure in observing that the newer
dances were
gradually finding favour at State balls. There was, said Major Taylor, do greater lover or better exponent of modern ball- room dancing than that most popular of raen, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. London had long been the dump- ing ground for what he would call Con tinental and American dance.concoctiona. He believed that in the near future it would become the cultured dancing een- tre of the world. Nowhere could better or more graceful 'dancers be found than in London ball-rooms-not in isolated couples, but as a dancing community.
For the coming season the dances in vogue would undoubtedly be the fox-trot, orestep, and the waltz (in its modern form). Smooth footwork and steadiness of body would be the rule The tango But ho would no doubt hold its own. was sure that El Chucho would also be come popular. The dance would be seen shortly. It was for the public to judge. The simplicity of modern dancing was its great charm and mesmeric attraction. Modern dancing was within the reach of old and young alike. He believed, that the coming season would. be marked by more music and less noise, and he ven- tured to think that the Church would be well advised to organise dances and social evenings during the winter months.
Madame Geneo pleaded for the estab lishment of a British National School of Dancing, and the editor of the Dancing Time responded to a cordial toast of the Press.
CLERGYMAN TARKED AND FEATHERED. OUTBREAK OF TERROR IN TEXAS,
The Roy, Philip Irwin, of the English Episcopal Church working in Miami, Florida, was seized by eight masked men after celebrating evening service on July 17th, and was taken to the woods near by, where he was stripped. Mr. Irwin, who is a British subject by birth, was then fogged, tarred and feathered. placed in a sack, and dumped in a street in the business section of the town.
The men who attacked him told him that the reason for their action was the fact that he had been preaching social equal- ity, and had advocated intermarriage be- tween the white and black faces, and that such doctrines could not be tolerated in the South."
Simultaneously with. a meeting of the Texas State Legislature in special session for the purpose of dealing with Ku- Klux-Klan and other secret societies " moral re- which, under the guise of formers." are terrorizing certain portions of the State, a party of masked men dressed in white drove up to a hotel in Austin (Texas) recently, seized a young woman employed as a housemaid, and took her away in a motor car. they had reached a spot outside the town her captors stripped the woman and covered her with tar and feathers. The gang thru drove back into the town. taking the woman with thern and left her in nude condition on, the hotel porch.. The won states that, she do not know any of her abductors.

It is understood that she had been re garded by some townspeople as a ques tionable character.
ANTI-CENSUS MAN. ORDERED THE ENUMERATOR OUT
OF HIS HOUSE.
What is believed to be the first pro- secution under the Census Act of 1920 came before the Marylebone Magistrate, the other day.
A professional man, Mr. F. Gardon Pratt of Orme-court,', Bayswater, was summoned for refusing to make a census return. Prosecuting counsel said Mr.Pratt's household consisted of a wife and, child and five servants, and, when the census paper was called for, it was seen that he had given no particulars re garding the servante. His explanation. was that he had not asked them
When the enumerator offered to get the information himself, Mr. Pratt was obstinate, and delivered a discourse on the unfairness of the Census Act, con- cluding by ordering the enumerator out: of the house: Later, he wrote tho. authorities for page letter, making a general attack on the Government, and declaring that he had no more time to learn the particulars from bla, servanta than he had to learn the piano. A fine. of £25 was imposed, with four guineas costs.
