Methodist Pastors Decide to Stop
Balls at College and Ask Fac
uty Heads to Defend
Themselves

DR.. George Finley Bovard president
of University of Southern California,
and DR.. u. A. Healy, dean of the theo-
logical school Of that institution, have
been summoned to appear before the
Methodist ministers meeting. Monday,
to give reasons for allowing dancing
in the Methodist school, This action
was decided on at the regular weekly
meeting at the First Methodist church
yesterday.
The question of allowing dancing in
the university has for o. long time been
the subject of much agitation among
the Methodist clergymen of the city,
and the issue was brought to head yes
terday by Rev. Matt Hughes, pastor of
the First Methodist church of Pasa-
dena Rev Mr.. Hughes. in an address
to the meeting, vehemently urged the
necessity of forbidding dancing at the
university, and referred to its con-
tinuance as a fragrant violation of the
rules and practices of the church.
The sentiment of the meeting was
practically unanimous that the prac-
tice of dancing was to be deplored in
the university, but the ministers were
divided on the question of asking the
president and dean to appear before
the meeting. Rev. Mr.. Hughes finally
prevailed.
1t has been known for several weeks
among the student body at the univer-
sity that some action against dancing
was planned, and the proposal has met
decided opposition among many of the
students. The Greek letter societies are
expected to offer the strongest OBJ
stable in the way of the contemplated
action. Dances frequently are given at
the fraternity houses, and many vigor-
GUS protests already have been voiced
by members of fraternities and sorori-

AN Dor broke the otherwise calm
routine of the first days session of the
National Association of Manufacture
ers today at the Waldorf-Astoria.
This arraignment included fling at
Sampel Gompers in a report of the
committee on industrial education.
The report was referred to a special
committee after the convention had
gone on record as indorsing not an at
tack on organized labor, per Sc, but
"the methods Of organized labor"
The attitude of the delegates was
made clear when the motion to refer
the report to a special committee was
made.
Then Anthony Ittner of st. Louis sug-
gested that this committee have the
power to emasculate anything in the
report that might appear to the mem
bers as an improper or unfair attack
upon labor"
He added that I'VE do not fight the
labor organizations by themselves; we
consider them beneficial; but we fight
the methods of organized labor-and
some of them are damnable."
His statements were applauded, and
the motion was adopted.
Refused to Sign 1t
known that Frederick w. Senyer of
Milwaukee, a member of the commit
tee, had refused to sign it on the
ground that it contained what he re-
garded as "unWarranted attacks on
labor"
This resulted in decision to read
the long document with view to as
certaining it's tone.
The reference to Samuel Gompers, to
which Mr.. Senyer particularly object
ed, follows:
ITO put organized labor in charge Of
a movement in the interest of indus
trial and trade training would be like
putting the lamb in the care of the
wolf or the chicken in care of tho
hawk.
"Witness the efforts of Mr.. Gompers
and his lieutenants to secure class leg
islation in congress, their attacks on
the power of the courts to issue in
functions and their proposed amend
ments to the antitrust laws.
1--WE see the president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor defying the
highest court in the land, and that,
too while he is under a jail sentence.
Who is there among us that would as
sumo the task of teaching Gompers the
error of his ways?"
Labor unions, it is set forth, domi-
nate the society for the promotion of
industrial education, and while the re-
port favored trade schools in which
the graduate should be a finished work
man, 1t alleged that in many large
cities a skilled workman could not pro-
cure employment without union card.

SCULPTOR DECLARES STYLE
RUINED W0MEN'S FIGURES
Hugh Cain BIames Fashion for Mutaa
blIity of the Feminine
Waist Line

BOSTON, May 17-Hugh Cain, the
Boston sculptor, declares that women's
figures have been ruined by devotion
to fashion.
"Woman's figure is getting poorer
and poorer every year" he said. The
female form is degenerating because
of style.
1.-THE women of today are getting
further and further away from the
Greek figure of 1000 years ago, which
they are all seeking to attain, and
which the whole world admires. As
one instance of this, those who deter
mine what is fashionable are trying to
bring the waistline further down all
the time.
"At present an effort is being made
to get it down as low as the hips. This
is all wrong of course, for nature long
ago determined that it should be just
below the breast, allowing a soft,
graceful line from hip to armpit'
