Follies Girls Bare Knees
But -HeyMust Be 'Mice"
Flo ZegfeId Issues Edict Chorus Barring One Who
Was Indscreet, and Says They're Better Than
the Average Girl at That.

New York, May 2O.-The Ziegfeld
girl may go romping along the foot
lights with her knees undressed, but
she has just got to be nice or she can't
hold her job. The Follies and the
sally show have gone conservative,
by executive order of Florenz Zieg-
field, and he has discharged little Gen
eva Mitchell, IT, conditionally. for that
notorious rough party in Boston
the night of her birthday, May 6. If
she can convince him later that she
was just the victim of circumstances
she will be reinstated and reimbursed
for lost pay.
Ziegfeld thus amazed all the old line
press agents today. He said the ma
jority of the working show girls had
simply got tired of being talked about,
just because a few show girls get into
an occasional jam with notoriety. Any
girl in any of his shows who takes
part in a drinking party in bad COM
pany will be fired" if Ziegfeld finds
her out.
This isn't only my doing he said.
1.-THE girls feel that way about it, too
1t was the girls who suggested song
for this years Folles along the line
that Folly girls must have themselves
finger-printed for the protection of
their regulations when ordinary bad
girls get into trouble and tell the
police and the paper: We're from
the Follies.'
Drinking and carousing are bad

CHINA CAN'T SELL PIGTAILs.
Double Hair Nets Wear So Long They
Worry Hair Exporters

Washington, D. c., May 3O.-China's
export pigtail industry is threatened
by the preference of American women
for double hair nets, according to a
report to the commerce department
from Consul Gauss at Tsinan.
Manufacture of double hair nets.
the report said. threatens to reduce
the human hair net business very
much, as the double net long outwears
the single net. and advices i'm China
indicate that an association of hair net
importers has been formed in the
United States, one of its objects being
to discourage the making of double
nets. 1t is estimated, the report added,
that unless the double net is driven off
the market the hair net business in
China will decline by IS or so per cent
1T is understood" the report said,
s'that no definite agreement has been
reached to give up the importation of
double nets. but. after consultation
with the Chinese legation at Washing
Ton, the proposal was made to estab-
lish a hair net guild in China, which
realizing the effect of the double net
manufacture on the industry. would
undertake to discourage the manufac-
ture of double nets"

FIND TREATMENT FOR LEPERs.
Ethyl Ether Found Beneficial by
Many Chinese Physicians.

Manila. p. l.. April % (by mail) -
Lepers OF China may be treated with
ethyl ether manufactured out of
chaulmoogra oil obtained from the
Philippines. It is said the cost of the
drug in China is so high that doctors
hesitate about using the treatment,
one quart selling for $125 while the
Philippine government is now able to
Tlnanufa cture it for about SIS a quart.
Recently the health authorities of
China approached the Philippine gov
eminent authorities regarding a sup
ply of ethyl ether and the local gov
eminent agreed TO increase the output
so that China might obtain treatment
for a large proportion of her lepers.
of whom there are said to be 100000.
The bureau of science of the Philip
pines is now equipped to manufacture
the drug in large quantities. and 1t Is
understood the Chinese will soon re-
ceive a shipment. The Chinese lepers
have not been assem- bled in a colony
but are scattered over every province
IN the republic.

JAPAN IS LOSING OUT.
Value of Her Specie Down Despite
Frequent Credit BoIsters.

Toxic, April 25 (by maH) The un-
favorable economic position of Japan
at present is shown by the decrease
in the specie reserves abroad, the de-
crease of deposits and increase of ad-
vances, the adverse trade balance and
the reductions of dividends paid by
the chief industrial concerns from an
average of "a per cent to IA per cent,
a low figure here, continues to occupy
the minds of the bankers. At a meet
ing of the Banking Syndicate held
here on April II, Junnosuke Inouye,
president of the Bank of Japan,
warned his colleagues against a re-
striction of advances to reliable con-
Germs, while Seichiro Kimura. vice
president of the same bank, warned
the meeting that the worst culmina-
ton of the situation could only be
averted by the most judicious activity
of the bankers.
President Incuye said: "Since the
bankruptcy of a certain Osaka specu-
have been naturally but unwisely in
clined to refrain from investment even
in the enterprises of the most reliable
character. This nervous tendency of
the bankers seems to be beginning to
mark the attitude of the Toxic bank
ers as well. Such an injudicious re-
striction placed on bank advances
would prove no less fatal than a bold
attempt to invest in enterprisesaof dan
gerously speculative nature, and would
only aggravate the existing economic
condition
