(By International News Service.)
LAONDON, Peb, 18, —~Pretty
American maids who have stage
ambitions and would even start tn
the ehorus, had better fight shy of
England, where the \up salary for
chorus girls averages sl2 a week
This sum, penuriousiy spent, might
buy food for one in London, bwt
nothing else,
In addition to the fact that there
im & plentitude of girls—a glut in
the market, in fact—amply meet
ing the needs of the British stage
which seemingly demands graven
images in the chorus, an Ameri
can chorus girl would find that all
“pep” she puts intoe her work to
tally out of kilter here,
Smiling, vivficions, knock-em
dead chorus girls evidently hawve
not been discovered by the produe
ers of musical comedics. Nor are
they wanted.
The London chorus girl, who has
about_as much chance of subsist-
Ing on sl2 a week in London as a
house-fly In Alaska, is showing
signs of unrest. She wants more
money and, after consultation with
managers, 8 told that the only
way to get 1t I 8 for the salaries of
the stars to be reduced. The chorus
girl contends a star is pald 85 per

The City Federation of Clubs has
accomplished one thing early in the bat
tle againgt high milk prices in Atlanta
It has put the dairymen and the dealers
on the defensive and brought a bar
rage of explanations The producers
blame the retallers for the admitted
fact that prices are higher here than
in any other large city of the [nited
Htates, and the retailers come back with
a counetr-charge against the dairymen
Then they get together in a complaint
against the live stock salesmen and the
feed store, Bo far there has been no
attempt to blame either the Democratic
party or the Weather Bureau
Most of the milk men admit that the
retall” price wf milk here is from 5 to 10
cents a guart higher than in other
cities “"‘hr dealers say the high price
results from the fallure of the producers
to raise their own feed, and the neces
sity of paying war prices to feed stores
The retallers insist that they are deriv
ing only a fair profit.
Producers Explain.
The producers come right baek with
the clalm that they are selling milk at
the lowest possible price, cnmnxefi.mf the
amount they nmnturuy for their cows
and the price of feed. Tht{bcmlm that
they gte only 45 cents a gallon in some
instances, and the rest of the dollar goes
to the retailers, who are respousible
for the high prices
There have been a few nwmru to

other cities as tha{nsra here, but these

DUBLIN, Jan. 206 (by mail)
The Irish people are bent upon
achieving two things, when they

Before the war Ireland supplied
about half of America’'s manufac

chief competitors were Germany
and Holland. During the war most
of the mills were converted to war
work in Ireland. But steps are un

With regard to the tourist traf

The sum of $56,000 for the city
waterworks and the improvement of
a number of important ¢ity streets
had been insured Tuesday an appro
priation by the county to the city of
$205,220.58, but, likewise, a long list of
other proposed city improvements
was knocked out when county com
missioners deciined about $200,000
worth of additional requests
At the same time, the county served
notice that no further requests from
the e¢ity for financial aid this, yea:
will be entdrtained, owing to a seri
ous financial shortage faced by the
county by reason of recent heavy
drains made on its treasury !
It was pointed out by commission
ers, who acted on the ¢ity requests in
a special session, that if the ounty
sheould do no more than pa) the
money it has promised (e city and
maintain its own currenl expenses,
without doing any work whatever,
in the county, outside Atlanta, it will
énd the fiscal year, October 1, with a '
shortage of $%4,000, as shown by fig
ures submitted by Clerk Henry M
Wood As a matter of fact, however
the county has plapned up a program
of $300,000 worth of improvements
outside of the city, thus facing the
county with a total indebtedness of
$384,000 for the vear
The total running expenses of the
county for the vear, outside of any
Improvement work, will b $55,000
Fer month, Clerk Wood explained
Chairman W. M Poole and other
members of the commission said the
county had done the best it ¢ould for
the eity under the ¢ircumstances
Chairman Oscar Mills, in übmit
ting the recommendations of the pub
lic works committee for city vid
said
We must call a halt somewhere on
the outpourings of the county treas
ury-—the time has now come when we
will have to consider seriously our
own finances
In addition to the sum appropriated
for the city for the remainder of the
year, it was shown that the county
since the first of last September, be
ginning of the fiscal year iready
ih,m aided the city in the sum of
$28,994.89, which will make a total
‘;l{e'nu[n'lullnn for the year of $234,-
| 215.47
‘l Among the big street improvements
insured by the county are the paving
of Whitehall streety, Marietta street,
