BERLIN.—The Winter season’s new dance is the waltz, according to the decree of the Union of German Danc- ing Masters. Other dances still remain on the repertoire. but the waltz is the thing, topping the tango, the block bottom and a less violent charleston, the yale and the heebie-jeebies. At the annual congress of the danc- tng masters the “modern waltz” won the applause of thousands. It has less “turns” and more “walking” than its classtcal predecessor. The slow, lull- ing rhythm remains, but the dancer is no lonzer in danger of hecoming dizzy. Now it's up to the orchestra to play in the correct tempo, and to the danc- inz public not to dance the black bot- ton. or tanzo to waltz music. Other. wise the dancing masters threaten to hang placards: “Dance to the music being play 1, please,” as a prot A Bureau message will be broadcast Monday, Nov. 21st, through the courtesy of Station WMAL, | City |in blue on a yellow b { ment of the entire district.

LONDON.—Every day is tag day on some of the transatlantic liners ind many travelers who make the trip frequently are getting a bit tired of the endless collection of funds. Fares are so high that many travel- ers feel it is an imposition to expect to make contributions to the ship’s orchestra and for various other purpos: Fascinating young women pass the hat with such frequency on some of the liners that it becomes a nuisance. Most travelers are willing to attend the ship’s concert and make a contri- bution there for the Seaman's Fund, but they feel the steamship companies ought to pay their musicians ade- quately and save the passengers from enthusiastic promoters who decide to raise money for some cause or other. Some of the transatlantic liners, especially the ships of the United States Line, forbid collections except at the concert, and attendance at that, of course, is optional. The money rais- el on these ships is divided between the Seaman’s Fund in the United States and the Southamptén Hospital, which is apen tn American seamen, h fake financial schemes. / o withstand such losses.
