Guaranteed, $15 a Week For Entertaining Soldiers. A Tacoma dispatch of Dec. 8th Before long the mobilization of the women who are to dance with | the soldiers in the big dancing pavilion at Camp Lewis will take | place. Among Uncle Sam’s conces- sions is that for dancing. Olym- pia men who figured on taking it found it would require $125,000 to handle the proposition. The government requires a pa- vilion that will accomodate from 4000 to 6000 couples. Then there may be others later, perhaps as many as four dance pavilions» The hotel for each pavilion must accomodate from 500 to 1000 girls, who are to be under the jurisdiction and control of the Y. W. C. A., Ministerial associa- | tions and similar organizations. | Even the parties putting up the HIRING GIRLS TO DANCE hotels can not have quarters in the girls’ building. No profit can be made from housing and | feeding the-girls. These girls, who are to be gathered from all parts of the | Coast, are to be hired by the con- cession people. They must know how to dance and will be requir- ed to dance each evening except Sunday and perhaps at matinees, | The parties taking the concession | for dancing are to guarantee the girls $15 a week. The plan is to charge 10 cents a dance, 5 cents to the owner of the pavilion and 5 cents to the girl. If at the end| of the week she has earned more | than $15 she keeps all over that amount. As soon as the dance is over| the girls must report in at the! hotel, for they will be under the supervision of chaperons and the whole affair is under the juris- diction of the military police. With from 25,000 to 50,000 men in camp all the time itis fig- ured that several thousand girls will be required. Band Concert December 26th The Cottonwood band will in-| augurate its first annual concert and dance Wednesday evening, Dec. 26, and will endeavor to) make it a great success. Six band numbers and about six num- bers from others who will assist, | consisting of violin solos, instru- mental duets and vocal solos, will make up the program, which will | be printed at a later date. The| general admission to the concert | will be 25¢, and 50c¢ for dance|‘ tickets. The concert will begin at 8 and the dance at 9—the band | playing for the dance throughout. presen Rie Among the stockmen who! brought cattle in for shipment | Tuesday were J. L. Brust, Jim Aram and Price Keener of the Joseph Plains country, having brought in 125 head.
