The whole situation brought about

"Rainin'."

"RaInin'."

"Risin,."
A long silence followed, broken An

NOT ENOUGH GIRLS
FOR CHORUS WORK
Sixteen Hundred Are Needed
for Broadway Shows, Say
Managers.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Wocful It'd
ings There's a shortage in chorus
girls,
Sixteen hundred are needed for
Broadway musical comedies now in the
making-and so far only 200 have
been located who measure up to the
standards required by such caterers
to the eye OF audience as Ned Wayburn,
Chamberlain Brown, Bruce Edwards
and the rest of them.
First of all, let it be explained that
the 1916 chorus girl will have to be a
beauty. Patrons Of the girl shows
nowadays want more curves, more pep,
more voice and more girls than ever
before, the experts say. The 1916 type
must be slender. but not angular;
must know how to dance well and
must smile. Also she must have good
looking bare feet and er-blushing
skin on her-er limbs, because tights
are no longer aufait,
The chorus girl pickers think the
lure OF the movies, the cabaret the
dance halls have all combined to rob
the mcrry-merry Of its usual contri-
button

DEFENSE
GUNS KEPT
BUSY
TugboatS Haul Targets Out to
Sea and Then Watch the
Effect of Fire.

WASHINGTON, July %. - While
practically every authority on military
efficiency in the United States has
agreed that the coast defense guns are
inadequate for the ends they may be
required to perform in resisting in
vasion, the coast artillery branch OF
the regular service is making the best
of the means at its disposal. The ten
inch rifles with which most OF the
coast batteries are provided are at all
times prepared to meet and defeat any
enemy fleet which may come within
their range. While it is agreed that
the battleships and fast cruisers which
are equipped with the most modern
ordnance would not find it necessary
TO come within range Of the batteries
in order to put them out Of action, tho
coast defense force Of the United
States is so well drilled in the use OF
the present armament that given mod
ern offensive equipment, the defended
points on the coast would be tmpreg-
nablc.
Every day every coast defense bat
terry on the Atlantic, Gulf or Pacific
goes through practice drill, which in
cludes the manipulation, jointing and
care of the guns and the determine
ton OF ranges and locations at sea
And once a year, at least, every battery
demonstrates the thoroughness OF its
training by firing a specified number
OF shells into a hostile fleet, repre-
scented by a moving target at sea.
How Targets Are Prepared.
II is the towing Of the target that
requires the same amount Of bravery
that might be demonstrated by men in
the midst OF an actual bombardment.
The target is n small thing, pyramid
al float fifteen high and thirty feet at
its base. II is towed through the sea,
almost on the line Of the horizon by
tugboat, which is separated from Its
tow by length Of about 200 yards oil
cable. The huge missiles hurled from
the guns weigh $50 pounds and they
arc expected to strike within radius
of thirty yards from the target after
n fight OF 10000 yards or more.
Many a freak shot is witnessed by
those who watch the practice from the
deck of the tug. Captain Black tells
of a recent freak at Fort Barrancas,
at Pensacola, Fla The shell struck
the water at a peculiar angle and shot
I'M into the air, tumblng end over end
10 a considerable altitude and describ-
ing a perfect arc in its hayward fight.
MANY are the instances Of shells which
ricochetted on striking the water
bounding off at an angle which never
can be calculated in advance. 1t Is
said that this angle is In almost every
case away from the tug; but the I'M
expected may happen some time

George Kimball, a motor truck me-
