Other nations have gone far without one But this purely utilitarian estimate of the matter Is not to be tolerated in circles artistic and otherwise. Whether or not the country aa a whole appreciates the need of it, the American national ballet is well on the way toward development.

Professional training will begin, for dancers at 10 Tears old, carrying them five consecutive sunjmer to '18 -yeai-s old, when they should be qual'f led to htejr the ballet productions. In no way Will the organization conflict with th education of its dancers. Requirements for entrance, either as students or member include rhythm, physique, natural grace and seriousness of purpose. The ballet la founded not upon mere physical techniqne( but a serious nnderatanding, study and practice of tit kindred so that any American artist.

Whether painter, sculptor, de-sltaor. musician, author or dancer, may submit his work to be exploited through the nedium of the art of the dance. Backed by Leading Artists. Bat, however the details of the first encampment work out, Mme. Lubovska believes that the ballet has passed beyond the experimental stage.

She confidently expects that the first production next season will be a cerdit to American dancinj methods and American dancers. Backed by some of the leading artists of the country and by many enthusiastic supporters pf the scheme, Mme. Lubovska's task has not beed am difficult as some pioneer work. On the art board of the ballet are Mrt John W. Alexander-Mrs.

A fleet of 1,000 airplanes, suitable for war, is prcposed in a bill now before the chamber of deputies It is planned to establish and operate these warcraft commercially so that the cost to the government would be little if any more than under its present policy. The author of the measure.

Deputy Paul, Benazet. called attention to the large and expensive aviation personnel of the government "which consumes but does not produce." Strongly advocating the creation of a great, protecting aerial force, M. Benazet urged that the government create a corporation to operate commercially, transporting passengers and freight and establishing air postal routes, thus training aviators, developing aviation, cementing relations with the colonies and meantime keeping the fleet ready for immediate conversion to war purposes. 95c i $4.00 to $5.00, will So- why waste time on face powder that comes off at fast as you put It on when you can use derwillo, the "stay there" beautifjer? Hot weather or per-Bpiratlon does not affect It and when applied properly its use cannot be detected. It gives the akin that youthful baby-like softness and rosy tint every normal Woman craves.

Just make this test: Some warm day use your regular face powder, time it by your watch and see how long it stays on. Then under exactly the same conditions use derwillo and note the difference. It not only slays on longrer, but It looks more natural. Compare It with any beautifier or powder you have ever used and you will need no argument to convince you that there Is nothing as satisfactory as derwillo. Try It when you go bathing and see how much better it stays on than any face powder rejrardleas of the price.

CORPUS CIIRISTI, Texas, July Mrs. Matiana Klores, who, friends claim, was born in the state of Nuevo Leon, Mexico, In 1811. died here Thursday. Apparently she had been a resident of Southwest Texas for about 75 years and of Corpus Christi for GO years. Hei husband died 40 years ago.

"Where Quality Is High and Price Are Low" otiice poBsinnsm of the theitrical producers, the idea has gone forward. Plans have been conceived, articles of incorporation drawn up, the training ramp opened and other details arranged to give America a dancing chorus that will Be to the country in every way what the imperial ballet was to Russia before the Trotaky-Lenine regime. While the aetual formation of the ballet and the success of its early career may be credited to many sources, the original inspiration came from the typical experience of a typical American girl in a one-sided tilt with the Russian ballet Six or eight years ago a slim, dark-eyed girl from Minnesota arrived in New lork city. She had a handbag, a carryall trunk, a perfectly good mother and she could dance. Otherwise her equipment for a metropolitan invasion was nothing to boast about, but she had evolved her own scheme of capturing the public.

She hid a dance that had never been done before on any stage. She danced more with her arms than he did with her feet She juoged mathematically, her dance was a challenge to the most complicated problem in solid geometry. She could perform more an-. gleg to the minute than the average girl could in a lifetime. Failed to Consider tha Managers.

However, there were one or two elements that she had neglected to consider in planning her Btar.iom. Chief of these, perhaps, was a certain exclusive body of bald headed nun who, collectively and individually, direct tue theatrical productions of the nation. In other words, she had omitted the manager frni her schedule of worries. As the days wont by she was rapidly undeceived this point. Classical numbers weren't wanted, and the managers told her so In no uncertain terms.

One day. however, she came to, terms with a semi-classical producer. The conversation followed the eustomafy course. The producer began by asking impertinently where she came from. "Minnesota." she, admitted meekly.

"That's had," said the producer. "In fad, it's almost impossible. No American girl can get away with classic dancing. The public won't stand for it. You've got to he Russian or remain a nobody in the dancing game." Had to Change Her Name.

In the end they arranged a compromise. The producer agreed to allow more than the usual percentage of classic material, and the girl from Minnesota consented to become Mme. Desiree Lu-JoT8ka of Russia. And now that we Bare revealed the Identity of the Western girl as Lubovska. the triumphant, premiere danseuse, founder of the American national ballet and exponent of a Dew artistic standard in American stage dancing, perhaps it is just as well to let Wnie.

I.nbovsks continue the story. "Of course. I didn't like giving up tny American name," che said. "IJut the managers insisted. They said that while my dancing might please the public, I Wouldn't be worth a nickel with an Amer.cnn name.

I had to become a Kus-aian whether 1 liked it or not "Conihij; from Hector's, where It was often difficult to find an audience in th mood for my dancing, I encountered other handicaps on the vaudeville stage, fandwltched in between a black face comedy act and a song and dance skit, there were times when it was quite impossible to iieud across the footlights anything that had much chance of awakening an enthusiastic response. But 1 did get on after a fashion. "In London I ran as a headliner and came back to this country as premiere danseuse in "Everything" at the Hippodrome. By that time I had become quite My temperament, my talent, everything about me was explained by my Russian birth. It was rather flattering on the one hand, but perplexing at times to one's national Conscience.

To Popularize America Dancing. "Thinking it over. I decided it was all wrong. by should an American girl be obliged to accept a foreign label before she could expect to gain any success in her own country? Why couldn't there be a made-in-America dancing that would have an even chance with the imported brands? "The anaJTer was quite obvious. There was in New York uo medium for classical dancing.

Any young girl who came to town, no matter what her talents or amUitions, would be up against the same proposition that I faced. I made a few solemn vows that if I were ever in a position to change this order of things would' do my utmost whatever tha cost." And today, Mme. Iabovska, tha American girl with the Russian name. Is the founder of the American national ballet, and is serving as its first president. The purpose of the ballet is defined as an institution for the fostering, developing and training of American students devoted to the art of dancing and to provide a center where ideas of the individual artist will be developed and properly presented.

The ballet will have op to 1000 members, selected from pupils who have reached the highest standards of artistic performance in various dancing schools throughout the country. Kach year the organuation will send on tour an original production, which will be constructed along the lines of grand opera, with each ballet headed by a recognized artist and all members given an opportunity of being featured according to the merits they exhibit May Have Government Control. Whether or not the national aspect of he ballet will be carried to the point of a governmental control, as in other coun-' tries, has not been decided. A Washington committee Is working along these lines to discover if there is enough national Interest In the ballet to make it recognised government institution.
