 This was one important bit of in- formation disclosed by man known as an authority on dancing and con sidered one of the best pickers of other opinion voiced by the Follies boss was that the flapper is fast dying out and soon will become as extinct as the dodo bird.
 Not tSeSeryone- knows this,, but it's time theNgirls are finding it out. We aren't going to have any more bobbed-haired girls in tn. Follies chorus, no matter how beautiful they may, be-" Wayburn said. Girls with long hair are apt to be much more beautiful than girls with bob bed hairiF and besides, the average flapper doesn't make a good chorus girl. She hasn't enough sense to know how to train herself for the very exacting tasks she is called upon 10 perform in the Follies.

Jazz To Stay, Bob To Go,
 Says Follies' Dance Boss

Wayburn's discussion of jazz and fiappers resulted from q session he had attended of the forty-first an nual convention of the American na- tional associat tion of masters of dancing. ''.
 "Yes, I'm an M. D., master of dancing" Wayburn confessed. Tt sounds imposing, doesn't 1t? Well, let me tell you, the masters of danc- ing are doing a lot for their country. They taught the people to jakz and now jazz has come to stay. Jazz has gotten into the American blood. Dancing has reached a tempo that can't be slowed down and the people will get jazzier as time goes on.
 Not At All Vulgar ''
 Some think jazz is vulgar. There is nothing vulgar about it. There are some substitutes and limitations that ought to be regulated to the ash can, such as cheek-to-cheek dancing and the old can-can, disguised in various guises and danced by some perfectly respectable ladies who would be shocked if they were told how it originated and what it's all about"
 Wayburn chuckled as he explained that now he was getting paid for what he once upon 8 time did in Chicago for nothihg--dance.

TAMMANY HALL THROWS POWER
 BEHIND DAVIS
Call Is Sounded For Dem ocratic Mobilization Day
 September 9

NEW YORK, August 29--Tammany, the all-powerful democratic organiza- tion of New York, today threw its whole-hearted support behind John w. Davis, democratic presidental nominee.
 Democratic leaders agree that the agreement between John w. Olivany, leader of Tammany, that September 9 is to be Davis Day" in the wigam, is the most encouraging development since the bitter fight in Madison Square Garden, where many democrats thought that Gov. Al Smith, their idol, failed to get square deal.
 Because of the bitterness engendered in the convention, thousands of loyal New York democrats have been sulk- ing, despite the announcement of Smith that he would take off his coat and vest and work for the nominee of the party.1 sstsiqn
 But the crumbling heard on every hand among the New York democrats suddenly ceased when Davis denounced the Klan in his Seagirt speech Tam many leaders report to democratic head quarters that thousands of members have come back into the fold.
 Now c6fnes the announcement that Tammany1 will put on sort of demo- crate mobilization day for Davis to demonstrate, that the organization is solidly behind the national ticket Instead of regarding defeat in New York as inevitable, democratic leaders now believe that Davis will carry the state with it's 45 votes in the electoral college.

TRADE INTERESTS
 MAY SAVE CHINA
TWashiHgton Depends On Busi-
 s. ness To Stop Revolt

WASHINGTON, August 29.-state departmeTit officials, although admitting that the Chinese disturbances may lead to further serious trouble. are not as yet given to great anxiety concerning the developments in the Kiangsu and Chekiang provinces, in view of the fact that there are enough businesses and political influences at work to allow hope that some adjustment may be reached before matters go too far.
 The trouble as interpreted in official and diplomatic circles here, is caused by rivalry between Gen. Cly Hsien Yuan, governor of Kiangsu province, and Gen. Ho Feng Lin, defense com missioner of Shanghai, which is in the province of Kiangsu, and who is mili- tarily allied to Gen. Lu Yung Hsiang, governor of the adjoining Chekiang province. General Chi is apparently at- tempting to oust by force General Ho from Shanghai to regain complete con trol of Shanghai and its territory.

 tion must not be taken as evidence that the farmers problem has worked out its own solution" ., " The rise in prices has given an op- portunity, however, the vice presidential candidate said, for cool consideration of the subject, where the farmers are not harassed by having to fncoy an ex- treme crisis, but are still nears enough to the depths to be worried concerning the future. ess
 While emphasis has been pl ced on wheat and live stock farmers, Dawes stressed the point that his deductions could be applied~to- all kinds of farmers all over the country. Starting calmly, kbut waxing warmer as introducing speakers took the stand, the crowd reached a high pitch of en- thusiasm as Dawes took his place in q semi-circle of microphOnes and began his address. The crowd shouted cut the famous Nebraska football yell, Who's the man? He's the man. Who's the man? Dawes, Dawes, Dawes," as the general rose to speak.
 At the outset, Dawes launched an att tack on Senator Robert NJ. La Fol- lette, and his independent campaign for the presidency.
 "Oh the one hand is President Cool idGe under the American flag, standing on the Constitution, on the other is Robert NJ. La Toilette, under the red flag. As for the democratic party, its choice of candidate shows it is trying to straddle on the most important ques- tion in this campaign-governne ac- cording to the Constitution" .-'-"
 At this point the general was inter- rupted by loud calls of We can't hear" and caused an outburst of laughter by refusing to continue until the loud speakers were tuned up. After this diff ficulty had been remedied, he started on his prepared addrss.

GERMANS RATIFY
 PACT OF LONDON
.tContinued from Page One)

5,ss( (COntinuod from Page One) ing the proceedings The nationalists refnained glumly silent.
 The two-thirds majority was obtained by 50 nationalists voting for acceptance of the vital railway bill, although pre- viously they had voted against the other measures which did not require two thirds support.
 The price of the nationalist adher- ence, it is understood, was promise by the Marx government to reorganize the cabinet and ward four posts to na- tionalists.
 Immediately after the bills were passed, the government instructed the German ambassador in London to sign the Dawes pact Saturday. #
 As additional payment for national ist support, Chancellor Marx issued a statement Friday night officially dis claiming German guilt for causing the war. The government will embody this declaration in a note to the allies.
 Declaring that difficult as acquies- cence. has been for many" the Dawes settlement had opened a new future for Germany" Marx added. How ever,S the government cannot pass the moment when it is assuming burdens to carry out the Versailles treaty with out clarifying the standpoint with re- gard to guilt for the war. The state ment imposed upon Germany, under the pressure of the powers, that Ger many unleashed the war through aggres- sion, is contradictory to historic facts. The government, therefore, declares that it does not recognize this statement. -.
 Tt is justified in the demand that the German nation be liberated from the burden of this false accusat tion. So long as this is not done true under standing and reconciliation are impos- sible."

tSEALG OAVhAAA DuA otnUJ
 MONTGOMERY, Ala, August 29. The rule of Flights out" at 1O pm, has been established, 30 far as cleo tric lights are concerned, in num- Der of Wiregrass towns, as q result of the effect of the prolonged drought upon the generation of hydroelectric power by the Georgia-Alabama Pow err company, according to reports re- csfyed by the Alabama public serv- ice commission. With the cotton crop moving from the fields 1t was decided to curtail lights at night and enable the cotton gins to run, ac- tcording to the report. As a result, electric, power for lighting ceases at 10 o'clock in the evening to allow the resumption of power, with which to run the gins, at 5 o'clock in the. morning. &1
 The Georgia Power com paily serves Eufaula, Abbeville, Head land. Newville, Enterprise, Columbia and other points. There are steam plants at Eufaula and Enterprise, but these do not interchange with the hydroeIectric system. The company has hydro-electric plant in Ala bama on Omussee creek, and several such plants in Georgia, whose vol ume of power is reported to be hard hit by the effect of the drought on streams fro mwhich power is gen.. erated.
 There were no lights at all, that is, electric lights in number of towns Thursday night, according to the report. The mayors and other city officials are reported to have ac- cepted the situation philosophically, with the sentiment of the section in- dofsing the policy of operating the cotton gins, even though this makes it necessary to again resort literally to the midnight oil, or candle for citizens who do not retire by 10 pm.
