Strike Among Bituminous Workers Threatened
Lewis would not say what the next esten of the miners would be but his statement was interpreted in union headquarters here to mean that if the operators would not consent to a conference by April 1, when the present contract expires, a walkout would result.

FRENCH HOW TO JAZZ
H. E. Booker Introduces Ameri can Synccation to Paris Dancers
Paris, Jan. 3—Howard E. Booker,

and introduced the "tight little ile" to
baseball, has invaded France.
When Booker gets through, France will be agitating the "Chemise to American steps to American syncopation, played by American jazz bands; also seeing movies produced by American and English artists on French soil in movie-houses financed by Americans and run by American methods.
Within twenty-four hours after setting foot on French soil Booker signed a lease to the Apollo Theatre and started a dance-hall on a plan brand-new building. He dealt buyout the second largest movie house in Paris for three million francs. Booker's American quick lunch methods of business bewildered the Frenchmen as they tried to dislay the deal.

His first vesture at the Apollo Theatre has just opened with three American jazz bands playing American tunes. Booker imported forty-two English girls, four French girls, and one German to teach Frenchmen to dance the United States way. There are also four American men and eight Englishmen to teach French girls. The instructors sit in a special enclosure awaiting the summons. The would-be chemise wearer entered for one time which entitles the holder to one lace with the instructor.
This is the same system Booker introduced into England at the Hammersmith Palais de Dance which had such a phenomenal success.

"The American man is the best natural dancer in the world," Booker said. "And the American style of steps is the best. That's why Europe is crazy over American dancing. Also the American synaptized music cannot be beaten. All Europe is dancing to our tunes—will you? The Belgian girl is almost as good a dancer as the American girl. The French run a bad third. And the remainder of Europe is now in the running.

SPEAKING IN FIGURES
Which is the cheaper and more efficient? Mailing out six thousand circular letters in telling them of new articles you have to sell, or an advertisement in the Kansan?
An advertisement in the Kansan containing thirty-six inches and costing $9. will reach over 6,000 people and be read more than a circular letter.
The circulars will cost $60.00 for postage; printing $25.00; paying labor to insert letters $6.00. The total cost of printing, mailing and labor used for inserting would be $91.00. Many of these letters will be thrown in the waste basket unopened.
