artist seeking new fields to conquer.
The Paris-born ballerina, daughter of
Russian ace of World War I, became
dancer at the age OF 9 on the pre-
scription Of her family doctor when
she was recovering from an attack OF
pneumonia.
She signed her first contract at is, as
an understudy in the Ballet Russo de

when the star sprained her ankle and
the youthful ballerina stepped in to
dance Spectre de la Rose" With this
company and Col de Basils Ballet
Russo she danced all over the world,
finally striking out on her own to be-
come the Nets prima ballerina.
The Water Gate will give her the
chance ballerinas dream of-a COM

It was one spectacular performance
that convinced the National Symphony

Cruiser was about as celebrated for
his viciousness as I have been for

throw articles into his brick box in
order to see him fight. I was asked to
explain the other evening how I ap-

Trained Vicious Horses
Mr.. Rarey had been among horses

broken many bones before he gained
the reputation of being such success

stration he also conquered many vicious
horses and entertainingly related some
of his demonstrations before Queen

craft excels at high speeds.
Having, hope, explained simply the
action of turbine unit and made 1t
clear that the axle shaft revolves very
rapidly, it will be apparent that the
unit Is not only means of providing
a high-speed jet of air. Alternatively
it is possible to derive from the rotating
shaft mechanical power to drive all sorts
of mechanism, including the conven-
tional airscrew.
In Automobiles.
Jet propulsion for touring cars has
recently been discussed, but such de-
velopment seems completely remote, as
the rapid discharge of hot gas would be
calamitous for fully 40 yards behind
the vehicle. On the other hand, units
adapted to produce shaft horsepower in
the way I have explained might con-
ceivably find place on heavy road
vehicles of the future Perhaps nat
urally, there have been many discussions
among car owners interested in engi-
neering progress, but almost invariably
the discussions center upon jet propul-
sion rather than the units that produce
the jet.
Whether turbines will eventually dis
place the orthodox four-stroke recipro-
eating engine used in our cars and buses
Is very different question. The fact
that the turbo- compressor has no pis-
tons and no gear wheels, but consists Of
two components. spinning merrily on a
single shaft, means that 1t Is vibration

me, started back frightfully, but did not
attempt to come at me. Cruiser came
slowly up to smell of me after while,
and in spite of Lord Dorchester's en-
treaties, I stood still. Presently when I
saw that he stood naturally, I began to
fondle him. Lord Dorchester begged me
to tie his head and did so but you never
saw such fighting. Finding that he would
either kill himself or tear down the box
released him and began ali over again.
After he allowed me to fondle him I
took him into the straw-yard and pro-

at last he would let me take any lib

mounted him with impunity"

BEACH BUILDING
DAMAGED BY FIRE

Three floors Of the Bon Air
apartment house. on the northern
extension of Carolina Beach, were
destroyed by fire Friday afternoon
and Chief R. H. Byrd, ST., of the
beach resort yesterday estimated
the damage to be $4,000.
The blaze was caused by the
explosion of an oil stove on the
second floor of the building, he
said.
Before the fire was extinguished,
it was necessary to call out a
unit of the Fort Fisher department
to help fight the blaze.
Firemen reported that in addi-
ton to the destruction of the three
upper floors, he lower floor OF
the apartment house was damaged
by water.
A fire at a military installation
near the beach was also reported
Friday afternoon but officers de.
clined to give any details.
