SOUTHEAST LEADS
u. S. IN INCREASE
OF COTTON MILLS

WASHINGTON. Jan. S.-President
Finley, of the Southern Railway Com
pany, commenting today upon the rec
crd Of cotton mill construction during
the year 1912. said
"The Southeastern states led all 9TH
er sections of the country in cotton mill
development in 1912. There were 81
new mills built in the United States
during the year. OF these, 20 were in
the Southeastern states. OF $50, 100 new
spindles. 427, 900, or so per cent. were in
Southeastern mills. and out of 9,774 new
looms $3.50. or Sc per cent were in
Southeastern mills.
These figures refer only to new mills
and take no account of the large addi-
lions made during the year to existing
plants. by which the manufacturing ca
pacity of the section was largely in
creased. The aggregate increase has
been SO great as practically to insure
the maintenance of the record made by
the cotton producing states in the year
ending August 81. 1912, when the mills
Of the South consumed more cotton
than those of all other sections of the
United States"

Atlanta Girl Athletes
Drop Dumb Bells for
Strenuous Folk Dance
Grace, Rather Than Muscle, Now
Aim of Instructors of Y. w.
G. A. Gymnasium Glasses.

Girls in the more or less classic
dances of the European peasants will
be seen in many Atlanta homes here
after Folk dancing has been added to
the gymnastic repertoire Of the Young
Women's Christian association, and. it
is said, is achieving high popularity
among young women Of Atlanta.
The old order passes and dancing is
prescribed instead Of dumb bells, be-
cause every little movement, the gym
nasium instructor announces, exercises
a muscle all it's own. Aestheticism has
invaded the Atlanta gymnasium and
grace, rather than muscle, is the end.
An introduction of the strenuous
dances of old Europe into the courses OF
training for American youth has ac-
quired something Of vogue but until
the Y. W. c. A. included the work in its
program folk dancing virtually was I'M
known in Atlanta
With the end of the holiday season, a
revival of activity in gymnasium work
has been effected by the association
workers and special inducements are
offered to girls that they enter the work
before May /, when the association year
ends. More than 100 girls and women
now are enrolled in the gymnasium
classes
