NEWEST WALTZ STEP
IS EVOLVED HERE
Dance Combines Freedom OF
Fox Trot With Rocking Meas
ure-To Be the Vogue

The rocking waltz" has hit Phila
de1phia. TO be exact, it was originated
here. At the first meeting Of the Phila
delphia Dancing Teachers Association
yesterday dance instructors from Penn
sylvania. New Jersey. New York and
the District OF Columbia greeted the
new step with JOY.
1t combines the freedom Of the fox
trot with the slow movement and grace
OF the waltz. The instructors say the
waltz is the thing and will be most
popular this season.
The fox trot will be slower this year
and there should t~ fewer variations
the teachers say. The "shimmie" Il
under the ban Of the instructors. Ii
fact, the new association stands for thu
elimination Of everything Objectionable
in dancing.
Here is how the new step is ex.
ecutod:
The position, rhythm and music ar,
all those Of the waltz. The man, hold
ing his partner In the "halt open posi-
tion,' steps forward with the left foot
rocks gently and gracefully on the ball
OF the feet for three counts. steps bacl
with the right foot and rocks three more
That leaves tho left foot forward to en-
able the couple to waltz two measures
to the right, The steps for the CIR
| are just the reverse, as usual in al
dances. The six rocking steps ar,
| done in two measures.
Having completed the two walt
rounds, repeat the rocking for two NOR
measures; bring the right foot agains
the left, and execute the Spanish draw
man looking over his right shoulder
while the girl looks over her left, il
going backward. Then waltz two NOR
measures and repeat ad libitrm.
Sounds hard, but is said to be easv
and the new step is predicted to be tn
vogue this winter.

LITHUANIANS PARADE HERE
Protest Against Polish Invasion Of
Their Native Country

Several thousand Lithuanians paraded
along Broad street and through South
Philadelphia yesterday in protest
against Polish invasion of their native
country. A feature of the demonstra
tion was the appearance of an airplane
that few along the route of march and
dropped explanatory circulars printed
in English.
The parade began early in the after
noon. starting at Lithuanian Hall,
Christian street and Moyamensing ave-
nue.. From there It wound down Third
street. to Tasker street, to Broad street,
to Spring Garden, to Fourth street, to
Washington avenue and up Moyamcnsing
avenue to the starting point.
At the close of the parade n mass
meeting was staged in Lithuanian Hall
as a further protest against Polish in :
vason. Resolutions, essentially the
same as the circular, were adopted. The
circular read:
Fifteen thousand Philadelphians OF
Lithuanian origin cmphatically protest
against Polish invasion of Lithuania.
The Poles invaded Lithuania by cross
ing the demarcation line set by the
Versailles conference. and thus pro
vOked the Lithuanians and caused the
present conflict between them and the
Poles"

France. Industrial leaders say that
no particular region of France here
after will monopolize any industry, and
declare that this scattering will prove
beneficial and result in a more

To Transfer Industries.
Powerful financial groups are at the
head of the movement to transfer i'm
portant industries from the coal re-
gion to southwestern France, where
water power soon will be available.
Other groups are being formed to de-
velop manufacturing centers near the
coast so as to reduce the cost of
transporting raw materials. Indus
trial leaders say that this activity on
the part of capital, supported by the
recovery of labor from what has been
characterized as a wave Of "laziness,"
gives a healthy tone to the situa-
ton.
instability of the exchange value of
the franc is regarded as one of the
weakest points in French conditions.
1t is pointed out that France cannot
pay twice owe at present high prices
for supplies she needs, and that is
what the present low value of the
franc means. The French government
Is now studying a complete renovation
of the financial policy with a view to

Begins 1920 With Greater Conf
dence Than 1t Did
the Last.
DUE TO DEFEAT OF RADICALS
Elections Stabilize Internal condi.
tlons, Though Fall OF. Franc Is Still
Serious Problem-Study
Financial Policy.

Paris.-France began the new yeal
with far greater confidence than the
last. This is In spite of formidable
handicaps, such as the balance OF
trade running against her at the rate
Of about 1900, 0O0, 1000 francs a month,
about 80 per cent depreciation of the
exchange value of the franc and the
consequent difficulty Of procuring raw
materials and machines urgently
needed for reconstruction.
Frances renewed confidence Is de-
rived directly from the result of the
recent elections. These are regarded
here as having definitely stabilized in
ternal politics, ended all danger of
revolutionary agitation for some time
to come and brought about a better at
titude by capital and labor toward the
immense effort before France.
Money is Forthcoming for invest
ments in anything that promises stabil-
ity. While the investments in short
term treasury bonds are continuing at
the rate of nearly 1000, 100000 francs
a month, there is plenty of money for
Industrial and commercial enterprises
and long-term loans. The 4,O00,O O0, 900
franc loan to provide immediate
resources for indemnifying victims of
the invasion was oversubscribed before
the official opening of the subscrip-
lions. Important banks and indus
trial companies have lately increased
their capital to an aggregate of nearly
500, 600, 100000 francs.
Big Trade on Bourse.
Transactions on the Paris bourse,
still are confined to cash deals,
have exceeded on certain days records
of pre-war trading, when futures en-
tered largely into the totals. The up
ward movement Of all industrials
began before the signature of
the treaty at Versailles, has been un-
by successive liquidations.
This is regarded by keen observers
here as a sure sign of economic re-
covery.
Employers say the labor situation is
improved and that the last strikes de-
veloped signs that the workers them
were becoming weary of long
continued disturbances of business, in
lustry and transportation. They see
/ tendency against frivolous strikes
and an indication that only real griev-
lnces will induce the wage earners to
Iuit work hereafter.
Decentralization of capital and in
