" GROVS HiGH T Paris, June 22 (UP)—The qual- ity of the chorus is picking up and the famous Folies Bergere is being stormed by battalions of girls who step out of classrooms and, society salons. Pierre Frejol, connoisseur of knees and knuckles who has picked choruses for the Iolies for the past 10 years, contends that it he had 10 daughters he would turn them into 10 chorus girls. Frejol must be the most enviea i“tired business man” in the world. He has seen a parade of 20,000 am- Sbitlous girls who have halted before ~his desk long enough to disrobe “their charms and get a job with the Folies, He has seen a great change in 10 years. In the old days the chorus Wwas recruited from the boulevard cafes, but nowadays the chorus pays better than the dresmaking shop and every little dressmaker and milliner dreams of growing pretty enough to make the Folies. He has seen another change, for he contends that women are getting more beautiful and figures becoming more perfect every year. A critic of pulchritude has his hands full now, M. Frejol contends, and to select 200 girls necessary for the Folies chor- uses, he has a hard yme eliminat- ing beauties from the last five hun- dred. Two Titled Chorines The present Folies chorus con- /tains two titled women, daughters /of Russian nobles, several daugh- \ters of generals, exiled for political reasons from other European coun- tries, and any number of students. The students provide the stage with their finest recruits, M. Frejol contends. Girls, tired of class- rooms or failing in examinations, find their way to his office, throw their books into a corner, undress and prove their claims to gonsider- ation. “All sorts of girls find their way to my office in a year's time, from the toughs to the daughters of fine families who seek to hide their real {dentity while taking a pleasant fling at life from the stage,” Frejol told me. “Some of them suffer a stroke of timidity when they reach my office, | grow red with shame instead of un- dressing, finally stagnmer out that they have changed their minds. Others have convinced themselves that they might as well get it over with now as later, and tear at their clothes like savages as they dis- robe, Five Points of Beauty “The professional chorus girls dress and undress so many times in their lives, that it is all in the day's work for them. The students often take it as & lark, and many never come back even after they have been accepted. They may simply want to prove to themselves that they could make the chorus if they wanted to.” Since the quality picks up and . the quantity increases, the pickers of beauty for the Folies, the Casino | de Paris, the Moulin Rouge, the| Palace and the many concert halls ‘of Paris, can be more particular. They now exact not only pretty fig- sures, judged coldly from a stand- ‘ard based on five points: straight {knees, fine lines, slim -lower limbs +tull sets of teeth and plenty of chest ‘egpansion. but also intelligence. * _Folies girls are paid on a grad- uated scale in accordance with their five-point merits and mtellixenc(‘,‘ ranging from 600 francs a month for tho attractive youngsfers with a | predominately fine point or other among the five to 1,500 francs a months for & pure Venus with| brains. The quality of the music chorus has reached such a point that managers are tying up their girls with contracts to prevent them be- ing taken by the opera ballet and by vaudeville booking agents as soon as they learn the ropes. halli Fred E.

This unbroken record of vie- | tories was preserved recently when the troup far outscored all com- petitors at Willow Brook park and won this year's title by scoring 52 points, "while the hest any other troop could collect was 21 points. Troop 4 scored four first and four | seconds and was shut out in only one event, The troop is located at and is sponsored by the First Congrega- tional church, and in the chapel of that edifice is a large cabinet filled with the trophies won by the scouts. These are shown in frent of the troop in the pic- ture above. The original plag which was offered in 1915 as t first award given by the council, is| shown in the center, while ranged about it are a dozen cups and two pennants won by finishing in first place in succe¢ding years. Included in the array of silverware are also a scoutcraft cup won one year when this event was separated from the rest of the meet and the 1925 court | of honor trophy. The troop has a membership of 35 active scouts, while many others now at college are carried on the rolls as associate members. At pre: ent 21 Troop 4 boys are in various colleges, and four more will enter| in the fall. The troop has produced 12 of the 20 eagle scouts in the New Britain council and scored the rec- ord number of 624 points in the scoutcraft event this year. It has a bugle band, a semi-monthly newspa- per, and many other activities of long standing which have permitted the building up of a “Troop 4 tradi- tion,” a high standard which the of- ficers and members are constantly trying to maingain. At present the troop is negotiating for the purpose of some wooded land for a camp site.

These remarks were greeted with thunderous applauss from the gathering. Dean Jones then added his tribute to that of Mr. Ames and said thal the state board of education regrets sincerely the loss of the man who for 35 years has built up the local | school.

LUTHERANS OPPOSE PROIBITION LA Synod Oficial Says Denomina- tion Condemns Dry Shootings River Forest, Ill., June 22 (#—The Lutheran church is described by Dr. W. C. Kohn, president of Concordia ((‘o_“!‘ge here and an official in the ‘Mllmuri synod, as not sympathetic to the Volstead law and as rigorous- ly opposed to “the absolutely crim- inal practices of prohibition officers in shooting down innocent citizens.” Dr. Kohn, who is attending the | 34th triennial conference of the | Evangelical Lutheran synod, ex- | pressed his views in a statement uncancelled, U. sAl J HERALD. TRINITY METHODIST EPISCOPAL prepared here yesterday for publi- cation. “Members of the Missouri synod of the Lutheran church believe that since the Volstead laws are in ef- fect they should be personally ob- served,” the statement said. “But we do not agree with the absolutely criminal practices of prohibition of- ficers in shoeting down innocent cit- izens. Nor do we believe in the prin- ciples that underlie the Volstead laws.” The Lutheran church believes all just laws should be obeyed, Dr. Kohn declared, if the enforcement is legal in itself. “Dry shootings are sheer murder," he said. “Killing trangressors of the Volstead act without fair trial is un- biblical, un-American, and uncivil- ized. Such unlawful killings are equal to murder. It is a criminal act to execute a man without a hear- ing.” MARRIAGE INTENTIONS Applications for marriage licenses have been filed by the following: Daniel E.
