ATLANTA SECOND
AS MULE MARKET
Thousands Of Dealers Now Buy
Supplies Annually In Georgia
Market

ATLANTA, Dec. 20.-Atlanta has
been inclined to boast for many years
of this city as mule market. IT. has
been able to assemble figures to show
that Atlanta is one of the greatest
mule markets in the world-the Sec
ond largest in the United States.
NAsIl, the advent of the automo-
bS of late years may have caused
some of the folks hereabouts to for
get this old claim to much greatness:
and if so, they should perk up. Re-
ports indicate a greater business this
year in mules and live stock than
ever before.
Those prophets who told us 10 or
Is years ago that "tbe automobile
will put the horse and mule out of
business" have another think COM
ing. The Georgia horse and mule
seem TO be in business today-more
than ever before.

NEW DANCES

TAZZ dancing steps are passing out,
- This is announced in New York at
the convention of the National As
ISOLATION of Dancing Masters.
They say that the popular dances
This winter will be the tango, fox

Grandma, remembering the state

Lewis Ii. Krctlow, So-year-old
dancing master of Chicago COM
ments: Il notice an increasing ten
dency among young people to I'M
prove the dance themselves. They
are taking more interest in dane
ing gracefully. Jazz music has had
q marked effect in degenerating the
dance.
Another old-time dancing master
II the convention is Major Ned Gay
nor. He is 81, but still can walk
on eggs"
The major says: Eighty per cent
Of the faults Of position on the dane
ing ffbors are cbargeable to the girl
1t seems as if the girl of today can
not dance unless she has death
grip on the neck of the man. The
trouble is, the average girl doesn
know how to dance. She learns at
schools run by promoters who have
no conception of the art of Terpsi-
chore."
III, thing most dancers lack is
knowledge Of proper posture, says
Miss Wall, at another dancing con-
vention.
