AFTER DANCE HALLS TOO
Police Will Insist That Conditions
Be "Toned Down" Very Consid-
erably-Women Arrested.

1t can be stated on very good au-
thority that the movement which the
police department has naugurated
against the saloons with disorderly
back rooms and ladies parlors" is to
be extended to include certain balls in
the central part OF the city in which
cheap dances are conducted
Superintendent Day is determined
that the conditions which prevail in
certain of these halls must be toned
down very considerably if they are to
be kept open during the rest of the
winter. He believes that he would be
fully justified in raiding these dance
balls as disorderly houses because of
the large percentage Of immoral wom-
en- who continually frequent them.
Another thing which the police pro-
pose to stop is the maintaining of bars
in dance halls The bars in the largest
of these halls is conducted under the
license of n saloon underneath. 1t is
held that this is Il direct violation of
the law and that the courts have de-
cided on more than one occasion that
only one bar can be conducted under
one license.
A we'll known alderman in discuss
ing this question yesterday with a Tri-
bune man said that the continued fire.
quenting of saloon or dance hall by
immoral women rendered that place a
disorderly house.
II would not hesitate a moment"
said he, ito hold saloonkeeper to
bail If it could be proven that bad
women frequent his saloon and are
continually present in his back room.'
Five more women were arrested at
an carly hour yesterday morning for
street walking. They We're all return
ing from one of the balls mentioned
above and several of them were intox-
icated. They all gave fictitious names
and were fined IS each.

In England the ordinary domestic
pin had become In the fifteenth CEN
fury an article of sufficient Importance
to warrant legislative notice. An act
of parliament passed in 1883 prohibit
ed the importation of pins. AS a ne
cessity of the toilet pins were intro
duced into England in the latter part
of the fifteenth century by Catherine
Howard, queen Of Henry VIII, who
received them from France.
Very good pins of brass were made
at this period, but a large portion of
them were made of iron, which was
blanched and sold for brass pins In
order to prevent this imposition upon
the good people of England parliament
in 1913 passed an act providing that
mo person shall put to sale any pins
but such as shall be double headed and
have the heads soldered fast to the
shanks of the pins. well smoothed, the
shanks well shapen, the points well
rounded. filed, canted and sharpened."
England continued to depend upon
France for its supply OF pins till the
year 1926, when John Tilsby intro
duced the manufacture into Glouces-
tershire. In 1886 the manufacture was
introduced into Bristol and Birming-
ham, the latter place ultimately be-
coming the great center of the indus
fry
