Army and Navy groups, the
younger set" was numerously
represented and they came to their
own after midnight when the crowd
had thinned out. There were
dozens of partners for every girl
and between dances the great
double stairway, which is the hand
soonest architectural feature of the
embassy, blossomed out like a
gigantic flower bed with pretty
maids in bright colored frocks sur
rounded by groups Of young Of
ficers, picturesque in special full
dress"
1t was there that Miss Charlotte
Childress held court, ravishingly
lovely in a black velvet frock of the
old fashioned, off the shoulder mode
which she affects so much, sur
rounded a dozen deep by attentive
young men. So like a picture that
one looked for such a caption as
1.-THE Toast of the Town"
Another of the bellies of the ball
was Miss Betty Chiffon, debutante
daughter Of the counselor of the
British Embassy and Mrs. Henry
Getty Chiffon, who was nearly
rushed off her feet" by the visit
ing Britishers. Mile. Marie Claudel,
lovely young daughter Of the
French Ambassador, came IN for
her share Of attention and so did

TINES MUSIC
Jessie MacBride-

When the Russian Symphonic
Choir sings here on Sunday eve.
ming, October 80, in the National
Lyceum" series of the Jewish Com.
munity Center, we will hear an
other example of that marvellous
choral singing that has come out
of Russia and that is so closely
knit with her religious music and
with her folk-song.
Kbalchich, their director, studied
In the class Of Rimsky.Korsakoff
He is a cellist. But choral conduct.
ing soon became his art and he
has led that famous Russian
chorus, the Archangelsky Choir of
Petrograd. Later he toured two
years as conductor of the choir of
the Petrograd Conservatory OF
Music, and in 1912 became choir
conductor at the Russian Cathedral
of Geneva, Switzerland. Soon after
he was choir conductor of the
Russian Cathedral in Paris.
We remember the charm, the
marvel Of the Ukrainian National
Chorus brought here by Alexander
Koshetz, whom Max Rabinoff pre-
scented to America. The Russian
Symphonic Choir uses it's voices,
also, like a human symphony"
To hear such singing brings us
new ideals, new inspiration in the
use OF the human voice.
This concert Is the first Of seven
events of music. drama and lee
ture, to be given at the Jewish
Community Center this winter.

There was a sharp line OF dsmar.

tween those companies which did well
in 1927 and those which did net.
There were Ave great automobile com.
General Motors. now the leader OF the

its career, There were at least four
other concerns which did splendidly.
Then followed a number Of corpora.
tons which had fair profits. but the
net income OF which fen materially be-
low the level of 1895. At the tail of the
procession came a still larger number
OF compa niles which had disastrous
years.
Competition was extremely severe.
There is every indication that total
production of passenger automobiles
this year will fall at least 400. 900
short OF the figures for 1925. which
approximated 1000, 900 ears and
trucks. This Is not surprising when it
Is realized that the Ford company was
out of production for approximately
eight months.
Exports Increase.
Exports of automobiles during the
year have run over $4,000 ahead OF the
abroad.
There seems hut little auestion that
the Ford activity In the early months
of 1928 will mean a big increase In
automobile production, II will also
mean decided tightening OF the lines
Of competition and. In consequence.
there are many OF the weaker com
panies which are looking longingly
toward possible mergers or consoi
dations.
one of the features Of the sales
campaign of the year was the popu'
laritv of the roadster and collapslDle
coupe types and the indication OF
trend back toward the open cars.
Automobile truck manufacturers did
better than passenger car uannfac-
,urers. in general. in 1927. The mum

The feature OF the truck industry
was the demand for the lighter one

COAL PRODUCERS
HAVE POOR YEAR
Demand From Foreign Con.
sumers Drops Off
Sharply.
6y Consolidated Press.

Coal producers had an unsatis.
factory year. and the position, espec.
ally that of the soft coal miners and
operators, il one Of the sore spots of
business today. In the early part of
1927 the demand from abroad which
had sustained the industry during
1926. dropped off sharply. Even the
non union mines failed to show n
profit, and wages were cut materially
in Il number of plants which had
raised them during the British coal
strike.
Production did not cease, however.
In anticipation Of a strike on April J.,
huge stocks were piled up The
strike took. place as scheduled, and
still officially is under way except In
Illinois and the States West. When
the strike was begun stocks aggre.
gated nearly S5.0O0.000 tons. Since
normal consumption Is only 5000 900
IONS n week. there was no uneasiness
on the part II consumers and no ad
vances in prices, The Year closed
with stocks almost up to so ,000. 900
tons, or over a years supply in All.
vance on hand. Prices in PennSyl.
Nania and some other sections ate
lower than they have been in many
years.
1T is now admitted frankly that
there are too many coal mines in
operation and too many miners en-
gagged in the industry, but the re.
adjustment Of this condition 80 that
the soft coal industry can get on
regular basis has not been accom-.
plished, nor apparently will 1t be "a
long as production continues to he
around 10000 900 tons a week
The anthracite operators have
found the Winter demand delayed by
warm weather. Also, they now
admit that they have lost a part OF
the markets which they once con-
trolled Those companies. however,
which are equipped with the most
modern machinery are making
money. The fact that oil has been in
huge supply and at cheap prices has
