Girls Wear Lamp Shades for Costumes
in the Dance Revue, Lets Dance

Starting with two girls dressed in
lamp shades. who tell us several
things, Lets Dance" at the Palace
today and tomorrow turns out to be
a well done exhibition of most of the
different types Of dancing that one
sees today, and one or two that were
done years ago.
The outstanding numbers are
speciality number by two men In
which they took the wooden soldier
idea and touched 1T up with a little
slapstick. in which the two men
prove to be good masters of dance
pantomime. solo tap dance by one
OF the girls in which she does some
clever work and a dance done in
old-fashioned costumes by two girls
and a man. Comedy was put into
this last number in a pleasing man
ner.
The act closes with dance finale
in which all take part with special
ties.
Sempsel and Leonard have good
idea in their Woman Haters Club"
The man introduces himself as the
president of this organization and
gives a good comedy speech. The
woman taking part of a really fas-
cinating "vamp' comes along and
spoils the party. The chief woman
hater succombs to one of the hated
sex. Are good entertainers.
Billy Gross and Company have a
very well worn and much used
sketch about a father and an elope-
ment. The only things holding up
the act are the dances Of the boy and
girl.
Evans and Carter take a rather
somber view Of married life and en-
deavor to give us a picture of a bride
and groom as they see them. Are
both men. Have some comedy songs.
Fred and Daisy Rial open the bill
with a comedy act and some work
on rings by both. The man has
good trick on the rings by turning
over ana letting go.
AS an added feature on the bill
this week the Palace is showing some
actual storm scenes from Florida.
These pictures were rushed here by
the Pathe Company by airplane and
show some scenes Of the storm actu.
ally in progress and many views of
the damage done.
The feature picture is Alice Cal
houn in Other Woman's Story"

DiSarmament'S Bane

Hugh Gibson. American minister
ito Switzerland, brought on stormy
debate In the disarmament commits
sion in the League of Nations Thurs
day when he suggested that the
military subcommittee be instructed
to pay less attention to politics.
Politics is the bane of disarma-

much it can, or cannot afford to- dis
arm. because Of its neighbors, and
what they are likely to do.
So long as the question rests on
that basis, the world can get no.

No Matter How Good You
Are, Don't Nap on
the Job.
BY NJ. r. Tracy

A champion is always the favorite
which explains why so many people
lost bets on Mr.. Dempsey.
Meanwhile. the decision was close
enough for Tex Richard to stage an
other match, provided he can get
the boys 10 sign up.
There will have to be a bigger
purse of course, which means more
seats, or higher priced tickets. but
what is little thing like that with
5000 millionaires waving their bank
rolls?
1t was a surprise TO everybody, but
especially those who thought they
knew. All the experts favored
Dempsey, but their prayers were
for Tunney.
Did crowd psychology have any
thing to do with the result. or was
it the old story of hare and tortoise
again?
Dempsey had trained hard for the
last few months, but before that he
led an easy life. Having no laurels
to rest on, Tunney has kept himself
constantly in trim.
No matter how good you are. it
doesn't pay to nap on the Job.

Why do some people have straight
hair and some curly?

Anthropologists regard hair as Of
high importance in determining race

special color of hair that is peculiar
to any one race it has character

races Of man widely from one

name. Among the Negroes, Hot
tentots and Papuans it is crisp and
woody. Between these extremes may
be placed the European. whose hair
is wavy and flowing. The close
curling Of the hair of the Negro Is
believed to be due largely to the
fact that the follicles are curved.
The only explanation that can be
made Of the differences in hair struc-
ture and appearance is that hair,
like other physical qualities. is in
herited and it's characteristics are de-
termined by evolutionary processes.

adaptation to differences in climate,

MANY ALIENS ENTERING
ALONG CANADIAN BORDER
Hull, Back From Survey, Says Ex-
amining Only Legal Immigrants
Is Enormous Task.

Although present immigration forces
are doing all they can to enforce the
law. they are inadequate to cope with
conditions along the Canadian border,
Harry +. Hull, commissioner general
IF immigration. said yesterday. on his
return from an inspection trip.
In addition to keeping out thousands
of aliens seeking entry by illegal meth
DDS, he said. immigration officers on
The border are faced with the daily
task of examining 100000 aliens seek
ing admission through regular chan
nels.
THE task" he declared, sis an enor-
nous one, and for its successful ac-
complishment no expenditure of funds
or personnel should be spared"
Practically the entire length Of the
Canadian boundary was found to be
lined with aliens ready to take advan-
tage of an unpatrolled stretch to slip
into American territory, the commits
sioner said, adding that there was no
doubt that many organized smuggling
gangs were operating.
Aliens have been apprehended, he
reported, crawling over the girders
under the Niagara Falls Bridge, where
ronfederates had been posted on both
ends to aid them in scaling the cliffs.
Others. he said. go on foot for weeks
to find some point on the border not
adequately guarded. or resort to matri.

Trees for u. s. Homes

Because of the wastage and an
exaggerated notion Of the influence

ton some well intentioned but mis-
guided individuals have. in recent
years urged that the cutting of
Christmas trees be prohibited by law

the development Of very wide-
