WOMEN PLAN CROUCH INDEX
Kansas Merchants to Be Rated for
Affabiity and Honesty.

Topeka, Kan, Nov 14.-Some of
the Kansas clubwomen are working
on a plan to give the merchants OF
the various Kansas towns a rating
as to affability and honesty in bust
ness. The merchants have a rating
card for their customers. man who
pays his bills promptly is in Glass
A. One who pays, but is a little slow,
is in Glass B. One who pays finally,
but does it on the installment plan
and only after much urging, gets into
Glass c, while the "deadbeats" are
labeled Glass d.
The women believe that, since
many merchants exchange ratings on
customers, they have right to ask
their friends to furnish them a rating
on the merchants themselves, and it
is proposed that the women publish
pamphlets about the merchants OF
each town.
The women purpose to list all mer-
chants who deliver goods just as ad-
vertised, who are just as careful in
filling a telephone order as If the
goods were purchased in person,
should be listed as Glass A. Class B

ample of the "400."

New York, Nov. 14.-"TIow can we
expect to arrive at decent standard
for dancing when we read in the daily
port of what the so-called smart set
is dancing at Newport? We read
that they have adopted the turkey
trot' and the bunny hug and that
these suggestive dances have been
given at the homes of some of the
leaders of the colony"
These comments and many others
were made by Mrs. Charles H. Is
raels before a meeting of the Neigh
borhood Workers association at
Greenwich House recently in dis
cussion relative to lettering the con-
ditions of dance halls in this city.
what can we expect?" said Mrs.
Israels, when the so-called leading
people are so eager to set wrong
standard of dancing? And how can
we go to the owners of decent dance
halls in this city and ask them to CO.
operate with us, when they tell us
that Mayor Gaynor has exercised his
discretion over the bureau of licenses
and allowed the notorious Haymarket
dance hall to reopen?
Zone of the solutions we believe
most effective is to teach people how
to dance correctly" she said when
girls learn the regular social dances
the waltz and the two-step-they are
averse to the vulgar dances like the
shadow dance turkey trot,' niger,
shiver dance and the bunny hug.
Many of those addicted to these dane
es have told us that they knew no
other, and that they had been given
to understand that these dances were
approved by the well-to-do. The only
answer is to educate the girls in the
right way of dancing"

Dead Fireman Brother.in.Law.

An Associated Press dispatch in
The News brought to Mr.. and Mrs.
Joe Adams, 1888 South Fourth street,
the news that their brother-in.law,
Chester Mooberry, a fireman at Peoria,
ILL.,, was killed in Monday mornings
hotel fire. Mr.. and Mrs. Adams, on
the strength of The News telegram,
left Norfolk at noon Tuesday to attend
the funeral.
The first dispatch said that Moo
berry, a member of fire company No.
Z, was unmarried, and this led Mr.. and
Mrs. Adams to wonder whether or not
the dead man was their relative. Their
brother-n.law was married. Later the
Associated Press office at Peoria sent
information to The News, in answer to
an inquiry, that the dead man was
married. So the Norfolk relatives
took the next train. They had re-
ceived no other word. Mooberry was
the husband of Mrs. Adams sister He
was the only man killed in the big
hotel blaze. Mooberry was instantly
killed by the falling of smokestack.

INVESTIGATE BIG BUSINESS.
Senate Committee Enters a Series of
Hearings on Commerce.

Hearings on Commerce.
Washington, Nov 15.-The senate
committee on interstate commerce to.
day entered on series of hearings
which are expected to have an impor-
tant bearing on the future legislation
relating to big business" and com
merce between the states. The com
mittee is authorized to enter on the
broadcast scope of inquiry, covering the
entire subject of Interstate commerce.
The authorization had it's inception
largely in the supreme court decision
in the Standard Oil case, which had
the effect of reading the word "rea-
sonable" into the antitrust law
The idea was that the meaning of
the word should be set forth clearly
in the statute itself and not left de-
pendent on an Interpretation by the
court. There are many bills before
the committee, and it is understood
others will be presented, so it may be
declared that the entire range of legis-
lation will be covered.
