DANCER DEFENDS , HER ART AS AID . TO ROBUST HEALTH Violet Zell Argues in Behalf of Exercise Which She Says Has Tonic Effect if Not Overdone. "All healthy people should dance the modern dances. Dancing prolongs life; It cures nervousness, It makes one graco fill and. above nil, It makes peopto nat ural, which In many cases counts far more than bbrtuty," said Miss Viotct Zell, nlio has delighted theatregoers with her weird exhibition of "modern dancing burlesque" In "Chln-Chln," at the For rest Theatre. Miss Zell Is considered nn authority on dancing by members of the theatrical profession. Sho has danced virtually alt her life, and she has succeeded In mak. Ing a suitable partner1 for Fred Stone, and that Is "going some," as one of the profession put it. Weighing only 95 pounds Miss Zell dances as If licr limbs were made of India rubber. Fred Stone In the "Dance Poetlque" throws her over his shoulder and Anally falls over her and people wonder that ohe docs not break In two. Bho appears as Fan Tan and besides many acrobatic "stunts" her perform ance Is wonderful In many respects. Miss Zell said yestculay that she had never been sick a day at hor llfo and al though sho "knocked wood" as she said It, she attributes hor remarkably good health to dancing. DANCING AS A TONIC. "In the first place,' sho said, "dancing keeps down the weight. Of course, every one knows that, but I do not think that It makes one thin. It may at first, but, llko any other healthful exercise,. It acts as a tonic and keeps one In fine condi tion, both mentally and physically, and keeps the weight down to just whero It should be. "Dancing Is a natural Instinct. Some of the modern dances are practically the kind our primitive forefathers danced, and after all thoy arc natural, and being natural, it Is only natural that they should bo beneficial. "Tho modern dances make one graceful, thero Is no doubt of that. When you think of It, all people should be grace ful. We all start with equal chances, and Is there anything more graceful than an Infant? In youth we are all graceful, so to speak, and clumsiness Is an ac quired habit that may come from many sources. Will power and determination can make every one graceful, and danc ing can bo of tho greatest help to the will power In reaching the desired goal. 'Many peoplo are ungraceful through sclf-consclousncss or nervousness. We all know tho pretty girl who looks llko a doll, and wo also know that there is nothing graceful about a doll. The good dancer should relax and become per fectly naturul, and If the true spirit of the dance Is reached any affectation will dis appear. TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING. "All healthy peoplo should danco those with weak hearts and other af flictions should see a doctor, but danc ing is, without n doubt, tho best kind of exercise that thoro Is. Of course, llko everything else, it can hn nvnr,inn so ciety girls and others who danco morn- ing, noon ami nignt, in other words, girls who really have the craze to tho extent ;i.-u. .1.6- want to Do dancing all the time, n:c really doing a very foolish thing. That is. If they dance to e.co.a. "Girls who dance continually run the danger of having their bunion Joints en larged and you know how ugly a swollen bunion Joint can make the foot look. Moderate dancing may enlarge the feet slightly, but that Is quite natural. DANCERS LONG-LIVED. "Dancers llvo longer than other peo ple, I think. I remember an old lady who taught me. I have heard that she was an Old woman more than 20 years ago, and she must be near SO. Even to day she can do tho most graceful steps. Many famous dancers have lived to a ery old age. "Society people who ically have the dance crazo should take plenty of sleep. Dancing puts one in such good physical condition that we get to the stage where we no longer feel tired. Nevertheless, plenty of B'eep Is absolutely necessary. metrical peoplo seem to keep their youth longer than others. That Is a well-known fact, and goodness knows they have to woik hard enough at that. . MODE UN DAXC1NO PROF.V.H.

She is tossed about until you imagine yoU'Can hear' the bones cracking, but she comes out of the rough Chin-Chin dance unruffled. The secret Is that they take good care of thomsclvcs, they take plenty of Bleep, and the constant use of cosmetics or 'make-up,' through the constant massag ing, helps to keep the skin fresh and clear. There Is no need to mention Lil lian Russcl and a few others. FOOTWEAIt AND GOWNS. "For the ballroom I would ndvlse girls to wear medium-high French heels. They look so much better than low heels, and after all we all try to look as pretty a3 we can. Illeh shoes are to be recom mended whenever It Is possible to wear them. The support they give the ankles Is very bencficlnl, and I see no reason why they Bhould not' bo worn at after noon teas. "Massage is a great thing for the legs and ankles, and I ould advise girls to use wltchhazel or Ntcobol. Personally I always use witch flazel. Tight corsets are undoubtedly Injurious, and all tho more so when the wearer wants to dance. I thlnljhe elastic gowns are great things, a3 there seems to be Just enough pressure to make one comfortable. "One thing all dancers should learn, and that is to breathe properly. Thero Is no reason why dancing should mako one out of breath, that Is, as soon as we have done enough of it. I would not go so far as to say that the 'tango breath will be tho latest thing in tho modern dancing line " Tug& Sent to Help Grounded Ship SAVANNAH, Ga..

TIIENTON, Oct. 10, Word has gone out that Mciccr Cotinly and the th Con gressional District must bo won for the Democrats nt all coat In order that the Administration of President Wilson may not be repudiated In his homo county and home district. The Democrats nro basing their hopes of victory largely on dissatisfaction In the ranks of former Republicans anxious to return to their old allegiance, hut dissuaded fr6m doing no by the actlclty of repudiated leaders. This, the Democrats believe, will work well for the candidacy of Allan B. Walsh, the present Congressman. Re publicans who went away from the party to the Progressives or to the Democrats because of opposition to the old leaders aic saying now that theso leaders arc seeking to get back In power nnd that thry cannot do so with their votes.
