PALM BEACH, Fla, April IT,
Palm Beach has many supper clubs,
and one went so far as to take Flo
Ziegfelds talent from Broadway q
whole season. But few Of them are
very successful financially.
The tropical style of decoration
with Spanish or Moorish motifs, pre-
walls and the cover charges in most in
stances range from So to IS.
One of the clubs is a huge house
boat moored to pier jutting out into
Lake Worth. Another was to have
followed this plan during the past sea-
son, but a specially constructed pi-
rates galleOn did not arrive from a
New York shipyard in time.
Most of the places are owned by ho-
tells here. but there also are several
private enterprises. Paris Singer, prop.
erty owner, and A. j. DreXel Biddle,
jr.. financed the production Of Zieg-
fields palm Beach Nights" in the
Club Montmarte. Ziegfeld will pro-
duce a new show next season in a
large theater which Singer will build.
The aspect of Palm Beach was
greatly changed by Ziegfeld's girls,
who found life here much different
from that open TO them in New York
All the outdoor sports found them as
participants. Clad in fimsy practice
costumes, they could be seen cycling

NEW STREET APPROVED.
Commissioners Agree to Thorough
fare Opposite Ball Park.

The District Commissioners. at the
request of Chairman Capper of the
Senate District committee. yesterday
consented to an amendment to the
bill providing for the opening of the
minor street just north of Georgia
avenue in the vicinity of the Ameri-
can League base ball park. Several
weeks ago the Commissioners urged
Congress to defer action on the meas
ure in view of the imminent merger of
the traction companies. as the opening
of the street would require the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Co. to
reroute it's Georgia avenue line.
AS amended the bill would author
iZe the Commissioners to open the
much-needed street and at the same
time leave the rerouting of the street
railway until such time as the Public
Utilities Commission deemed such a
change to be in the public interest.

PARIS. France, April 17.-Reports
from Turkey are that the whirling
dervishes, the bowling dervishes and
the Bektashis will soon be no more.
The modernist Turkish government
has abolished the monasteries and
even the picturesque dress of those
ancient fanatical orders, whose dream
ers, sageS, saints, lunatics and char
latans have fascinated tourists, and
whose orgies of ecstatic self torture
were so long a feature of Turkish life
The e-worshipping Bektashis, cell
bate but sensual, will sit no more
with dangling earrings around the
lighted 12-pronged candelabrum,
silently mediating on the attainment
of spiritual passion by the pathway
of earthly love.

3-hour frenzy, or pierce their skins
with darts, or tread to and fro on the

mothers.
And the whirling dervishes, follow
ers of the great Djelaleddin, who spun
during three days and three nights
without stopping, in harmony with
the cosmic rhythnl-no more will they
turn and turn with flying skirts to
the shout of 'Ho," while the sheik
cries out: II rise, l go to Heaven, to
my own country. Does any one, to
right or left, desire to follow me?"
The sensuous meditation is over; the
unearthly epileptic bowling dies away
the dizzying dance is done. Already

Chemists who have been working

a new material called tantalum that

quired in platinum and it's costly alloy,

Rules That Clerk
OF FrOnterGS Ended His
Own Lite BY Hanging Self

That M. Sanchez Adame, municipal
secretary of Fronteras, committed
suicide, was the final verdict on
the mysterious death that stirred the
little town for several. Adame's
body, with moose about the neck,
was discovered in his home at From
teras last Saturday morning. Tt was
believed by the authorities that he
had been murdered, but Judge Juar
Grijalva of Fronteras, after an in.
vestigation held Tuesday, ruled that
Adame came to his death by suicide.
Arturo Pradeau, who was held for
investigation by the Fronteras police
in connection with the case, was re-
leased Tuesday. Chief of Police Jose
Castillo announced that no evidence
was discovered which could connect
Pradeau with the case. He had been
arrested on the slender clue that
footprints were found leading from
Adame's home to that of Pradeau.
From the evidence which came out
during the investigation, it is be-
lieved that Adame hu1.g himself be-
cause of dependency resulting from
financial trouble. He was Sd years
of age and liveds3 alone. He was
clerk to Judge Juan Grijalva OF
Fronteras, as we'll as secretary of

NAMED
TO S T ABILIZE
MEXICAN PESO

In an effort to stabilize the Mexican
money 81 ituati ion and prevent the
threatened fluctuation of the value of
the peso, the finance department of the
Mexican government has appointed a
committee to investigate the matter
and suggest ways and means Of reme-
dying the situation.
The committee is composed of Au-
gustin Legorreta, director of the ma
tional bank, who represents the bank
ers convention; H. Weldon, manager
of the Bank of Montreal, representing
the national banking commission; Au-
gustin Rodriguez and Fernando de la
Fuente, representing the treasury de-
partment; Daniel Aguillar, in charge
of the tax department of the treasury
department, and A. Mascarenas, repre-
senting the Bank of Mexico.
1t is expected that the committee, by
close cooperation with one another and
their close touch with the strongest
financial groups of Mexico, will soon be
able to restore the peso to it's original
value. Government officials deny that
the religious boycott threatened in
Mexico by the Catholic church has had
anything to do with the present finan-
ciaI situation.

Arizona tourists are seeing theil
home state first, according to re-
ports from Flagstaff and other points
along the Old Trails highway, to the

proportion of Arizona cars, most OF
whom are thoroughly seeing Arizona

tains, Petrified forest, Painted desert
and other places, are attracting thou
sands of tourists from every section
of the country. Though it is still
too early for any estimate, it is be-
