DANCE DECLINE N u.s..
TO Be BLOW TO JAPAN
Intentional News Service Core
spoondent.
BY GLENN BABB.

Toxic, June 23.-There are some
100000 persons in Japan whose live
lihood-at least. whose present pros
perity-is dependent on the dancing
craze in the United States. These
are the farmers who grow the null
berry trees on which the silk worms
are raised and weavers who prepare
the silk for export to the United
States.
Within the last few years the United
States has become the market for
most OF the silk produced in Japan.
Ioday. in spite of the fact that Great
Britain, France and Italy have pro-
hloited the importation of more than
a very small quantity Of silk from
Japan. the exports OF this country are
growing, The United States provides
the ever-increasing outlet.
This is due 10 the popularity of the
new, semi athletic dances IN the
United States. according to Mr.. p. f.
Douty, general manager of the large
New York silk company, who is now
a visitor TO Japan. If the war makes
Americans give up dancing and lux
uries the silk business OF Japan is
due to take severe slump, in his
opinion.
The modern dances in America de-
mand light flowing. hright-colored
silk fabrics 70 make the GOWNS wf1fcn
women must wear" says Mr. Douty.
These dances eau be said TO have
created a demand for silks that has
resulted in the almost complete dis
placement of cotton and lightly
fabrics. The demand extends to sport
clothes, stockings, underwear and
coats.
The popularity of dancing Is on
the wane in the rest of the world
because Of the war: the entry Of the
United States into the struggle may
lessen the popularity Of dancing and
decrease the purchasing powers of the
people. Japans silk industry Will
suffer If that is the case
