Some blame it on the seaction of prohibition, but * is generally necepted that the exservice man is most to blame. He has brought his enthusiasm for dancing from the camps in France and t United States to his home town. In this city there are 110 dance halis and it is estimated more than 10,- 000 dancers frequent the places weekly. Most of the big halla have to turn patrons away on holiday nights for lack of space.
