AMERICA FEARS NAVAL ATTACK

Washington, Jan. 7.

Enomy attacks against tho United States in event of war would be by sen, in the opinion of Representative Gari Vinson (Democrat) of Georgia, chairman of the House Naval Affairs Com- mittee.

The veteran congressman, who, has been a member of the naval committee for 17 years and its chairman for three years, doen not, believe that the time has yet ar rived when a foreign power out- side of the American continent "air could effectively condunt raids" on the maining of the United Sintb

"The geographic situation of the United States is such that enemy can attack us except via the sea," Vinson stated in 1:19 recent report to the Federal Avin- tion Comminaion.

"Even to attack via Canada or Mexico would first involve reach- ing Canudo or Mexico via the sea. The Navy in and will continue to be our first line of defence. The present and prospective develops ment of aeroplanes shows that oversens air attacks are still question of the future."

Mr. Vinson is in favour of doing everything possible to avold im- pairing the efficiency on the Navy, and Ita control over its own avlas tion. He is unqualifiedly opposed to any proposal for a "unified" air service.

NAVY'S REPONSIBILITY

The chairman of the House Naval committee pinced himself on record as favouring establishment of "the complete responsibility of the Navy for the aerial sen lefence of the rousta and outlying pos40s. alone of the United States."

I think the new fox trot music Is particularly Irresistible. The most popular tunes have a light, hopeful galety about them that seems to say convincingly that we've actually turned the widely discussed corner where prosper- Ity lurked so long. Because of this, I've named, one of my latest

dances. "The Roosevelt Fox Trot."

The feature of this dance which can be done to any fox trot tune, fast or slow, is the crossing of one foot directly in front of the other. This carries you along a wavering zig-zag curse and breaks the monotony of the old-fashioned merry-go-round routines.

When starting this dance, follow the steps in the diagram. Take three quick steps and, on the fourth count, take a long slow step. crossing the right foot in front of the left. Pause for two beats with the weight on the right foot. Now point the left foot toward the left side of the right one. Then cross the left in front of the right.

Whether you are dancing a plain fox trot or some intricate varia- tlon, remember that you simply must keep time, to the music. The man who whirls around the floor, forgetting the orchestra is bound to be a pretty bad lender. The girl who never has learned to keep time generally finds that young second men don't ask her for n dance:

The person who wants to develop ha sense of rhythm should listen

to a great deal of music. Go to concerta. Turn on the radio phonograph and, while the music alls the room, whistle of hum along with the orchestra.

After you have learned to hum and whistle many tunes, tap your feet and hands in time to music. At first, you won't be able to do it perfectly. Later on, of course, you wi. And when one hand and one foot taps in perfect time to some sparkling tune, you have gone a tong way toward becoming rhythmic dancer.

Your next step in mastering rhythm is to walk to music. Turn on the radio and pace up and down your Foom. Keep step to the music. After a few weeks of these exercises, you'll find that you actual ly can walk rapidly, troj and even 7612

Depend on CHEVROLET for the right answer to the question of cylinders in a low-priced car: SIX CYLINDERS. No More, No Less.

And Chevrolet is backed up in its judgment by selling almost as many cars as her two closest competitors combined.

WHY SUCH DECIDED PREFERENCE? .

Chevrolet knows that unless a low-priced car has 6 cylinders, the owner must sacrifice either SMOOTHNESS or ECONOMY.
