Girls De Luxe
Not Up to Standard.

DATRONS at the Gayety this week
L are treated to the Girls De
Luxe" a show that isn't up to the
usual burlesque standard. but which
makes up for itself partly by splen-
did scenic effects.
The scenes are. without doubt, the
most elaborately staged here this
season. The most outstanding ones
were the finale in the first half.
tagged the Naval Co-Eds," and the
Pirate" scene in the second half.
The comedy this week is handled
principally by Binbo Davis. who
draws the laughs that he deserves
for the first time in many weeks. As
sisting him in the skits are, as usual,
Lee Hickman and Sam Raynor, with
Ray Parsons and George Kennear
enacting the straight parts.
Additions in the form of Margie
and Kay Cassidy are made to the
feminine contingent. AS the cast
that is playing there this week is
beyond the ordinary. any changes
in the personnel wouldn't add or
detract from the show.
Bee Keller is pleasing to certain
extent, as are also the Reed Sisters

Had been working two years when
the first recognized symptom of tuber-
culosis appeared. Consulted physician
within a month. then went to a hos
pital or sanitarium and died within a

Miss Nicholson said low incomes. the
influx of girls from rural areas to the
cities and housing conditions played no
vital part In the cases. She also found
tuberculosis strikes the educated even
more severely than the uneducated. She
said there was no evidence to support
the theory that employment of young
women is responsible for their relatively
high tuberculosis death rate.
She also said the wearing Of silk
stockings appeared to have nothing to
do with the situation.
The report continued:
There seems to be little reason to be-
Eeve that the proportion of tuberc ulosis
girls who have dieted for the sake OF
slender figure is any larger than the
proportion of girls who have dieted and
remained perfectly healthy.
The drive for popularity and the
nervous tension which rules the lives
of many young girls at this time of life
are possible factors. The young girl is
living on excitement much of the time,
and with this to whip up her energies
she may go for considerable periods
without relaxing enough to realize just
now fatlgued she may be. :"

PARIS P.-JoSeph Paul-Boncour,
minister of war, wants to reorganize
the French Army so that it may be
more mighty in defending tae country's
frontiers against attack
He indicated he is going to do this
irrespective of the fate of the French
plan of disarmament at the Geneva
Conference.
I'VE French" said the minister.

tional security and to feel at all times
that our borders are proof against as

We have no aggressive designs. but
I have become convinced after con-
ferences with high military officers,
that We must fortify our defensive
strength And" he added emphatical-
" Il want to emphasize the word de
1ensive'"
NJ. Paul-Boncour already has con-
voked several sessions of the superior
council of war to study the reorgani-
cation plans.
He Is thinking, too. of 1885. when
France will have fewer young men to
call to the ranks. In that year the
boys born during the World War are
due to perform their military service Of
one year. The full effect of the great
war upon the birth rate of France will
be in evidence when that call comes.
The war minister is convinced that
he can reorganize the army without in
creasing either the number of soldiers
or the cost of maintaining the big mill
tary machine.
In fact" he said. I'VE may produce
an organization essentially defensive,
with fewer soldiers and at less cost.
What I am aiming at is covering
army which would assure the in
volatility Of our national borders. A
short-term army furnished with auto
matte weapons Of power unknown in
the Great War, would be immensely
powerful in protecting France against
attack"
Beyond emphasizing the significance
OF automatic quick-flring weapons. the
minister said he was not yet in posi-
ton to reveal the scheme of organiza-
ton. But he went as far as this:
Il believe In the possibility Of de-
tending our country by mobilizing our
national army in its entirety
This system implies however. a
thorough instruction both Of conscripts
and reservists.
1T means minute attention to the
problem of mobilization because neces-
sarily the period of mobilization will
be longer under a system of short-term
