Twelve Dollars Per Week Not Much, But Few Able To Win It. ONLY BEAUTIES DESIRED TE8T8 FOR CHORUS POSITIONS ARE BOTH LUDICROUS AND, IN MANY INSTANCES, SAD IN BURLESQUE HOUSES. Accepts an Invitation to Attend the Waterways Convention. AT NORFOLK, VIRGINIA
Philadelphia, July 31. One hundred and fifty women who wanted to be actresses assembled before the Gayety theater, in Eighth street, to undergo the ordeal of a "tryout." The Gayety advertised a competition of burlesque girls, for places in the regular show, and in the line of applicants stood girls who were Just girls, girls who were older than just girls, and others. It was a sad sight, that line, but in some respect3 so comical that the klrds who stood around thought It was a joke. . The theater manager was asked what the line represented, where the women came from who wanted to be recruited into the ranks of burlesque dancers and wear tights and dance in the glitter. Many of Them Clerks. 'Some of them live in Germantown" be said. "Almost all of them are clerks who have grown tired of standing behind counters. Some of them, of course, have been simply home girls who have found their surroundings uncongenial." Several of the girls were a trifle over 40. and the manager whispered confidentially that . these would be turned down flat. "When they get that old they're scrawny," be said. . ,' When the fat and the scrawny were weeded out the other applicants had n opportunity upon the boards. Some ang, some danced, and some simply 'dodged behind the scenes when. they found the curtain up and themselves without the usual flounces and attired only in horrid pink things. These pink things were in some cases becoming and In some cases otherwise. As they were - furnished by the theater, the fit was not guaranteed, but the majority of the applicants were so desperately in earnest that they went right ''ahead and took the desperate plunge like a swimmer who has made, up his mind to reach the other bank whether or not. ' They furnished a show, grotesque and sad, with the came sort of veins of laughter and tears in it that give the great actors the power to move the heart, only in a reversed sense. Try to Sing and Dance. Some tried to sing with voices that

MEETS THERE NOVEMBER 19 AND 20, AND MR. TAFT WILL ALSO INSPECT THE HAMPTON COLORED SCHOOL. Washington, July 31. President Taft has acepted an invitation to attend the convention of the Atlantic deeper waterways association, to be held November 17, 18, 19 and' 29 at Norfolk, Va. The invitation was presented by Senator Cimmons and Representative
Small, North Carolina; Representative J Moore of. Pennsylvania; . Representa-
tive Maynard of Virginia and ex-Representative Burton of Delaware. They bore letters from Governor Swanson of Virginia, Mayor Riddick of Nnofolk and the various business men's organizations of Norfolk. The president will be in Norfolk November 19, and he has promised to visit the colored school at Hampton November 20. The delegation invited the president's attention to the project known as the Boston-Beaufort waterway with its extension to Key West and along the gulf to New Orleans. Authorization for surveys were made in the rivers and harbors bill and the army engineers are now making their preliminary examination. Water Course 1,800 Miles. The project calls for an inside passage by water thorough existing canals and rivers, a distance of about 1,800 miles down the Atlantic coast. Work has been commenced under contract upon a section of this waterway between Norfolk and Beaufort, N. C. The war department has also grant
ed authority to a private company to cut hrough Cape Cod and actual worK there is under way. The convention at
Norfolk will rally all the eastern ad
vocates of waterways' who are expected to proceed to that city by boat
through existing water courses both
north and south.
The principal argument in favor of
the continuance of the inland pass
age is the avoidance of outside dan
ger points like Cape Cod, Cape Hat
teras and the several shoals along the
coast.

I.. GRACEFUL HANDS.
Ways In Which a Woman Can Maka
Them Shew to Advantage.
With judicious care and management ' of the fingers, etc., hands that are not
pretty may sometimes be made to appear so, for this effect Is usually givii
by long and t" poring fingers 'and gen
erai grace. l-Jvery woman knows it,
though few are born with it
Close observation of the proper way to use the hands will show that the most grace is gained by bending from
the knuckles instead ef the finger
joints when necessary to use the fin
gers. This Is easily illustrated by
picking up a book. A person who has a broad, square band and short fingers
naturally takes the volume between the tips, bending at the middle Joiut
to make the contact. If the bend
comes from the knuckles it necessl
tates taking the object between the cushions of the finger ends Instead of
the tips, so a straight finger line, glv
Ing an effect of length, is secured.
You hear much of "daintily taking
an object with tfie finger tips." In point of fact it Is not with the tipa, but with the ends that any article should be lifted a ad by the ends is meant that soft section between the
top joint and the tip. It is an odd
fact that long fingered persons, who could afford to bend their fingers, do not invariably using the ends. It is
this attitude which emphasizes the
natural grace of the hands. Affectations with the fingers are ab
sard and at no time can be called
lovely. Curving the little one some
times verges on the grotesque when It Is done to extremes. A woman should always try to use her bands easily and without stiffness. Beyond that she must let the movement be
spontaneous.
when the hands are being loosely held In the lap the fingers take on a
pose of their own which is not alwayi
pretty. They curve as the muscles
relax, but toe bend is too apt to come from the middle joint Instead of from the knuckles, the two forefingers being left straight and the others held against the palms. A hand in repose in this fashkm appears attractive. It is not well to grasp an ordinary object with all four fingers and thumb for again awkwardness will result Unless the article to be raised Is really heavy It should be taken by the thumb and fore and middle fingers. The last two are allowed to bend under slightly, as they will of their own accord. This gives a far narrower effect and Is much more attractive.

Studebaker Flanders
The Greatest Automobile Value the World Has Ever Seen. HERE'S THE ANNOUNCEMENT for which the world of Automobilia has been waiting so anxiously hoping or dreading according as the individual was a buyer or setter of motor cars. WE HAD INTENDED KEEPING SILENT about this car a few weeks yet until other makers had had their say until they had all sprung their "sensations." BUT THE MAGNITUDE OF OUR PREPARATIONS th; purchase of several factories by Studebaker interests as represented by the E-M-F Company of Detroit set trade tongues a wagging&rxf information as to the car that was to be produced on such a tremendous scale began to leak out. DEALERS, ANXIOUS TO GET THE WINNING LINE. began to inquire as to the Studebaker plans for next year. They, were insistent for. very naturally, they did not want to tie up wtth any other concern if Studebakers were to have the great fine that had been reported. No man likes to enlist on the losing side. All hke to march with the Victorious. CUSTOMERS EVERYWHERE WROTE in this vein: "If Studebakers are going to build a runabout I don't want to buy until I have seen it." Thousands of these writers have dealt with this old house for years some of them never bought a vehicle anywhere else. To them the Studebaker name justly adds to the intrinsic value of any car. IN "VIEW OF THIS ANXIETY on the part of our friends we decided it would be unjust to dealers and prospective buyers to longer withhold information as to this car which will supplement those other' two incomparable models. Studebaker-Garford "40" and Studebaker E-M-F "30." SO THE CAT IS OUT. Read the specifications briefly given below. Consider the source of this car's origin. Then compare it with other "Sensations" recently announced and see if you don't think they were false alarms. STUDEBAKER-FLANDERS "20" is the name of the new car; and the title was selected because' it was believed that that alone would be the strongest guarantee of its quality to any one at all familiar with the history and the personnel of the automobile industry. STUDEBAKERS STAND SPONSOR for the product the entire output will be marketed through this organization. Thai is your guarantee that the car will be of sterimg qtiattty throughout Studebakers could not afford to lend their name, and a reputation based on 55 years of upright dealing to any but an honest product. FLANDERS WILL MANUFACTURE this product. What could we say here that would add to his fame as a manufacturer? His has been the most wonderful record in this wonderful business. It has been a succession of triumphs a repetition from year to year of feats in production that had theretofore been considered impossible that other makers now call marvellous. E-M-F "30," which attained such an instantaneous success and now stands the most popular car on the market, was sufficient to establish Flanders for all time. JAMES HE ASLETT DESIGNED the Studebaker-Flanders "20" an engineer who up to the time he undertook this commission had never set his hand nor his talent te Che deaicring of any but high priced cars. Several of the best known emaaiategfrorn his brain. He designed the original Studebaker chassis the one from which have j evolved all later models. Heaslett doesn't know-how to do cheap work ; in the sense that the term b generally used. He simplifies and he knows how to design parts to manufacture to the best advantage there he is unsurpassed by any. 25,000 S-F "20V WILL BE BUILT IN 190. We realize that these figures wiH be almost incredible to persons unfamihar with the resources of Studebakers and the ability-of Handera. It is a simple statement of fact. That the old "ultra consearvafiVe" house of Studebakers and not some young and inexperienced concern stands back of the statement ought to give ft a par value. We know k win. THIS QUANTITY WAS NECESSARY. It would-be unposdbfe to produce a car of this size and quality at the pike if made in smaller quantities. The tremendous "overhead' expense of equipment and distribution would, if saddled onto a lesser number of cars make it -necessary to add 25 to 50 per cent, to the price. We cannot boild a much better car than others do for the money in lots of 3,000 to 9,000. But by distributing the overhead over 25,000 cars we have been able te set the price at ?7W. COMPARE THIS CAR WITH OTHERS listed at S100 to S300 more. Add a magneto to those not so equipped we believe no automobile is complete without a first class magnetoand you will find that, aside from the difference in price, there is no comparison in value. We didn't intend there should be. THIS IS A FULL GROWN, MAN'S SIZE, magneto equipped, four cylinder car not a four cylinder toy or a one-lung makeshift. WE HAVE HAD IT IN MIND SEVERAL YBARS under way several months simply waited until plans could be matured for its proper manufacture and distribution. No concern would dare attempt a task so large as this until proper machinery not only for making but for marketing the product had been perfected and installed. That time has arrived. . THE DEMAND IS ALREADY THERE this we know, it only remained to perfect an organization to properly take care of it and ? extend to buyers that uniform courtesy and prompt attention that have made Studebakers famous--nd prosperous. Did you ever notice that a Studebaker representative, wherever you find him. breathes the spirit of the whole organizationis a sort of beacon of safety to all Studeaker patrons? Well, it's a fact. It's the way we stand back of them treat them as we want their customers treated. They soon get the spirit.
