the line OF the Lincoln highway In
the Far West have also made very
great improvements In order to BRINK
that route to as good condition az
possible for 1915 touring. Both the
Trail to Sunset" and It's principal al
ternate, the Santa Fe-Grand Canyon
Needles Highway. have not Jagged be-
hind the others; and beginning next
year the tourist has two complete OPP
lions between Albuquerque and
Southern California, both of which
can be travelled with comfort and
safety.
While unfortunately some parts OF
the "All- Southern Route" are yet In
poor shape. that line as whole has
been greatly improved during 1919.
and will not present very serious dir
ficulties to tourists who decide to go
leisureIy across that way in 1915. The
A. A. A touring board has the latest
information on all these lines. and Is
prepared to confer with tourists on
the routes best suited for their par
ticular purpose.
Maps and specific information can
be had either at national headQuar-
tiers, AIT Fifth Avenue. New York. or
national capital headquarters. Riggs
Building. Washington. d. C. Parties
contemplating cross-country trips in
the spring are especially invited to
take up these subjects with the tour
ing board during the winter months,
which is often advantageous as COM
pared with waiting until the actual
opening of the touring season next
year.

PAvL0WA IS HAPPY
TO Be IN AMERICA
GREAT DANCER GLAD TO ESCAPE
HARDSHIpS AND TERRORS OF
WAR-sTRICKEN EUROPE.

Especial to The Richmond virginian.)
New York. Nov. Mile. Anna
Pavlowa, the great Russian dancer,
who has just arrived hero for her sea-
son. which opened at the Metropolitan
Opera House on November 8. Is one
of those who has suffered great men,
tai anguish and sreat financial loss
as a result of the European war. She
lost her costumes through confiscation
by the German government and she
was subjected to many trying ordeals
when she escaped from Berlin to
England. Mile. Pavlowa says she is
more than happy and satisfied to be
in the United States, for only in Amer
lea, she says. does she feel perfectly
safe from bombs and the terrors OF
war.
Every graduate of the Imperial
Mariensky Institute. the school where
Russia spends a million rubles a year
to educate dancers and thus retain
supremacy In the terpsichorean realm,
is servant of the Gar" Each Is
subject to call at any and all times
and might have to return from tho
! uttermost parts OF the earth IL the
Little Father happened to so order.
And Mile, Pavlowa, who with her I'm
perial Russian Ballet and Symphony
Orchestra will appear in Richmond
on Thanksgiving Day. is no exception.
In order to retain her standing and
title of prima ballerina assoluta-the
highest rank in the world-Pavlowa
must return to Russia and dance for
the Gear at least once each year.
Few members of the Imperial Rus
sian ballet are permitted to leave
Russia for any protracted period. II
they do, they cease to be government
employees. In Paviowas case a special
order was made. She relinquished her
salary as the feminine leader OF the
ballet and also her rights to q pen
sion in order to give the world q
glimpse OF her art. However, she
agreed. after much urging by the Gear
himself, to return each year to Petro-
grad est. Petersburg) and appear at
command performance.
! 1t was because OF this infiexble
rule that Pavlowa was subjected to so
/ many narrowing experiences during
the summer. She had fulfilled her
duty in tho Russian capital and was
on her way back to London, and had
arrived In Berlin when tho war storm
was gathering. 1t cost her thousands
| OF dollars to reach her British destina-
ton. for the Kaiser. who not many
weeks before had decorated her, or
dered Pavlowa's scenery and costumes
confiscated. Only after exerting every
bit OF influence she possessed and
using money freely, was she able to
escape to Belgium.
But 1t Is an Ill wind that blows no.
body good. for as result Of the loss,
Pavlowa has had designed and made
an entirely new set OF scenery and
costumes for her tournee of the
United States. When she appears here
the feminine contingent will find espe-
cial delight in one set Of costumes
those worn in the forty minute mod
ern ballroom soiree. These dresses
are the last word in evening attire
and were designed and made by Pa
quin, of Paris, recognized as the
worlds greatest designer OF women's
apparel.

FORD IS LEADING
BY FIFTY PER CENT

The State registrations In Califor-
MIA for the month of September show
that in that month 1869 new motor
cars were bought. OF these s97 were
Fords. The next closest manufac-
turer sold 1s4 cars. In other words,
the Ford sold more than one-half of
all the cars bought In California In
September. Those were large sales.
They make pretty good sign OF
the times for the entire motor car
industry. 1t is a good indication OF
national confidence and optimism
