the same colors and on the same lines as several other girls.
 Tn the whirl of the dance faces are not noticed, but forms are, and it Is because the American girl whose people have been in this country for several generations has by far the best form that she is the one who predomnates in all musical comedy shows"
 But what of the chic and poppy personality of the Parisienne? Isn't she a dangerous rival?"
 "The French girl doesn't begin to com pare with the American girl either in form or in dancing" Lee replied firmly. "The percentage of French girls in large reviews is so small as to be almost negligible"
 "Why is this 2"
 Because they simply can't catch on to our rhythm" the little dancing di- rector smiled a bit ruefully. q have tried them out again and again, and have almost invariably had to let them go in the end. The Spanish and the
 
 Russian girls are most successful among the foreign-born; that is because the Spanish dancing is so choppy and in- tricate, and the Spaniards have such a peculiar inborn ability for dancing that they very easily catch on to the rhythm which distinguishes American dancing. The Russian girls, on the other hand, are not so well endowed, but they are tremendously ambitious and work very, very hard.
 English girls lack the necessary per sonallty for American dancing. The professional dancers usually start train ing for their careers when they are very young; they develop perfect technique. but it is much more mechanical than our dancing,
 You know. every foreigner who comes to this country speaks of the grace and chic of the American girl but has it ever struck you that these comments have been made only in the more recent years? Why do you think this is? think it is because of jazz dancing. There is a certain irresistible

as the professional beauties of the last century.
 When man wanted to dance in the cabarets or the gay restaurants in former days, he never dreamed of taking his own women folks with him; they simply didn't belong there. In order to have companions for these places, he had to seek out the chorus beauties.
 "The management came to mo when was putting on The Gingham Girl, and after one glance at the girls I was rehearsing, said to me:
 "Why don't you get beautiful girls 2 Your chorus can dance and they are good looking, but nobody would turn and look after them in the street. So-and-so and such-and-such are at liberty, why don't you engage them?'
 "The man mentioned one famous pro- fessonal beauty and several others whose photographs served to make up beautiful magazine covers.
 eff you know any very beautiful girls who can dance as well as the ones l have picked out, I'll be glad to have them; but TFdon't want any still life in my production. Maybe I'm wrong-but don't think so, Just wait until the opening.
 "Still the man was skeptical, There is a tremendous amount of money tied up in production of that sort, and appreciated his anxiety. But l had the courage of my convictions. l went ahead in my own way, and when the show opened everybody spoke about the beautiful chorus.
 Look over those girls" Lee nodded his head in the direction of bevy of coryphees who were standing around panting after an exceptionally energetic number, (which do you think will look the most beautiful from the front?"
 A cute little brunette, with doll-nke features, who would certainly attract attention anywhere; a tall, willowy blonde of the Grouse type; silvery blonde with large hazel eyes and small, perfectly chiseled mouth; graceful Irish beauty and a chic Parisienne were pointed out.
 "As a picker for the chorus I'm afraid you wouldn't get far. The girls you have selected are all in the back line.

was not expected in the appeal we
have made to you, that you should
make any personal financial sacrifices.
Your influence in your community
would be of vastly greater value to
the Cause.
1t is not our intention to tell you
in what manner you could help US in
your community without even your
going to any extreme effort. We beg
to mention, however, at least few
items:
1. To write a few lines of appeal
in the "Denver Jewish News"
2. To recommend to your feder-
ated organization that this institute
be put on its yearly budget, and also
for contribution for this year, if
their budget is not yet entirely ex-
hausted. The same may be done with
your Lodge of l. o. B. B., etc.
3. Perhaps some of your imme-
diate friends may become interested
enough to secure few members for
the institute, etc, etc.
am sure, my dear Doctor, that you
will kindly forgive me for being so
persistent.
Truly, l am doing this beyond my
usual courage, but being closely famil-
lar with the present condition of the
institute, am simply forced to it.
Being still in hopes that the Denver
Jewish community, which is so out
standing and distinguished for its
noble activities, will not fail US in
this worthy cause and that you will
find sufficient interest to make our
cause known in Denver, l am with
highest respect,
Sincerely yours.

Redwood Line, Ne,u Mccormick Service Between
San Francisco and Cult Start in March

m NEW service between the Gulf

known as the Redwood Line is to be
inaugurated by the Mccormick Steam
ship Company, according to announce
ment made by Otto Eisenbeis, district
manager at Seattle this month. This
is another addition to the c0mpany's
already extensive international SER
vice.
The Redwood Line, owned by the
Finkbine-Guild Transportation Com
pany of Gulfport, Mississippi, will be
in operation by March /, 1927, states
j. w. Summerville, vice president and
general manager of that company,
who was in San Francisco this month
completing preliminary arrangements
for his company's extensive projects
being completed in California
A fleet of five ships owned by the
company will be placed in this new
service and through arrangement with
the Mccormick Steamship Company,
these carriers will. sail westbound
with general cargo from the Gulf, and
eastbound will handle, in addition to
general merchandise, the Finkbine-
Guild Company's Redwood squares
and cants, of which Mr.. Summerville
expects to transport nearly 85 million
annually from this coast to the mills
of his company in Mississippi, where

Bureau OF Rail,oay Economics Analyzes Aid of
Carriers in Creating National Market for Apples

| THE railroads by efficient service,
| Il adequate facilities and moderate
| transportation charges have played an
| important part in the development of
| the apple industry of this country
and especially of the Pacific North
| west, where approximately one-third
of the country's apples are raised, ac-
cording to a bulletin issued by the
Bureau of Railway Economics based
on study just completed as to the
| relationship of apple prices to trans
| portation costs.
| In 1900 according to the study, the
| Middle Atlantic states consisting of
| New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland, and West Vir-
| ginia led In apple production, with
| the North Central states east of the
| Mississippi River in second place. Re
ports for the period 1921 to 1925, in
elusive, show that the Rocky Noun
tain and Pacific states now produce
more apples than any other section
Of the country, while the Middle
Atlantic states rank second and the
North Central states east of the
Mississippi River, third.
That freight rates do not restrict
the widespread distribution of apples
but permit freedom of movement be-
tween apples from different producing
areas is shown by the study. Apples,
for instance, from the state OF Wash
ington, which during the calendar
year 1925 produced more than any
other state, moved over 1900 miles to
New York City and entered the same
market with apples raised but a few
hundred miles away. In October,
1926, apples were shipped by train to
New York City from eighteen states
and Canada. During the same month
sixteen states and Canada supplied
Chicago. In 1926 Chicago received
more than twice as many apples from
the state of Washington as 1t received
from Illinois and nearly twice as
many as 1t received from the state OF
Michigan. Washington state also
supplied more apples to Detroit than
Michigan itself.
Boston in 1925 received apples from
q states, more being shipped from
Washington than any other one state.
Cleveland, Ohio. received apples from
70 states; Cincinnati, 49, Indianapo-
Ifs, %; Milwaukee, 20; Memphis,
Tennessee, %; Birmingham, Alabama,

The study further shows that the
freight rate has been no factor in
price fluctuations and that there was
a marked contrast between the nuc-
tuations in prices and the compare
tive stability of freight rates. The
