WHY DANCE HALLS FLOURISH,

lane Addams Of the famous Hull
House settlement in Chicago tells Of
Young man who came TO her with.
his sister who, he explained, wanted
to 20 somewhere evenings, because
their rooms were @too stuffy TO stay
i'm In the responsible part Of elder
brother he had taken her to al the
missions that he could find, but that
some way she did not seem to care
for the society Of the best Christian
people"
Miss Addams thinks this is fair
sample Of about 100000 cases in
the United States where young wom-
en- with good red blood and a natural
craving for pleasure find no satisfac-
ton among those church people who
frown upon the common amusements.
Few poor girls are blessed with a
thoughtful elder brother, and the
tendency is to follow the procession
Of their sisters to the public dance
halls, where some cities allow liquor
10 be sold. Miss Adams says:
'The classical city provided for
play with careful solicitude, building
the theater as it built the market
place and the temple. In the medi-
eval city the knights held their tour
neys. the guilds their pageants, the
people their dances, and the church
made festival for its most cherished
saints with gay street professions,
Only In the modern industrial city
have men concluded that it Is no
longer necessary for the municipal
ity to provide for the Unsuitable de-
sire for play, and they have therefore
entered upon a most dangerous and
difficult experiment. Apparently the
modern city sees in these girls only
two possibilities, both of them com
mercial; first, chance to utilize by
day their new and tender labor pow
ers in its factories and shops, and
then another chance in the evening
to extract from them their petty
wages by paudering to their love Of
pleasure"
The cities clearly have an obliga-
ton in the matter which has been
neglected in this age, when the re-
suits are likely to be most woful. But
a start has been made in the right
direction, with municipal gymna-
Sums, Fairgrounds, baths and clubs.
The II Chicago parks have beautiful
halls which are given over to any
band of young people who wish to
conduct dancing parties under city
chaperonage
Many social clubs have deserted
neighboring saloon halls for the more
attractive municipal quarters. And
they are glad to go home at IL,
whereas economic necessity obliged
them to use the halls Of the saloon
men until daylight-Ex

WHAT SALEM SAYS.

Those Portlanders, who are desir-
GUS Of removing the seat Of Oregon's
government to East Portland, set up
the claim that the present capitol is
unsafe. Is it any wonder that the
building is weak when there has been
so much log-rolling within its walls
biennially for 20 years or more? But
the capitol at Salem is not in such a
condition as those real estate boom
ers down the river would like to have
il lust now.-Statesman

SHE CAN, BUT WON'T.
Program Blocked Out By Man Who
Does Not Know Women.


CHICAGO, March o.-No woman
need remain a mental lightweight in
this age Of progress She can cure
herself OF her intellectual inieriority
by getting a job, forgetting romance
and costly raiment, mixing in politics
and freeing herself from "Ineareera-
.tion in the house" according to state
names made by Professor w. l..
Thomas Of the University OF Chicago,
whose views concerning the Advent
tious character" Of woman, have been
widely disseminated.
Incarceration within the house is
the greatest curse that could oyertake
the nervous system, and mind Of wo-
man" says Professor Thomas in a
communication to a women's Club.
From this standpoint our girls and
women are in vicious psychological
situation, as vicious as political or &C.
clesiastical dcspotism. Women are
coming more and more to rely less
upon the will OF the men.
"It is not so much that the oeeupa-
tions need the women as the women
need the occupations. Ordinarily the
woman abandons all intention Of
entering an occupation at the altar
Even in our universities, where won.
en- prepare for usefulness, they keep a
wavring eye on the subject when it
comes to matrimonial aspirations"

Greenwich, July 22.-An excited search is going on in East Portches- ter for Theodore Greenwald, former treasurer of the school district, who, together with the books of the district and it is said, s2.5O0 of the districts money, is missing.
 What adds to the worry of Green wald's friends is the story that a re- volver belonging to the Wiegand Com pany. by whom. he was employed as manager for one of their cafes, is gone from the till in his office where he always kept it.
 Yesterday a body writ for the at tachment of goods of Greenwa1d to the amount of $3,O0O, and, failing that, for the attachment of his body, was is- sued. The writ charged embezzle- ment of the sum of s2,500 of the funds of the school district. Deputy Sher- if William E. Ritch went to Green wald's lodgings in Portchester, but did not find him. He then went to Da- rien. where he has relatives, but could find no trace of him there.
 Greenwald had been treasurer of the district until a meeting held about a month ago, when he was defeated for ofice It is said that several times he was asked to turn over the books and funds, but failed to do so.
