the school dances. Mr. Davis answered
positively that they would not.
Senator Gallinger, OF New Hampshire,
in speech before the Senate recently,
placed himself on record as opposed 10
the turkey trot." He compared the in
novation OF freak dances into the higher
levels OF society in the National Capital
TO certain practices among the Inhabitants
in mill towns-towns where the turkey
trot' is unknown.
Declaring that he could not coUntenance
the dancing OF the turkey trot'' by
Washington society, Senator GallingeT
said the practice can be compared to
certain habits and customs which do not
improve Ihe health or morals Of mill
workers. He also asserted that investi-
cation has failed to show that the ''tur-
key trot' is in vogue in the mill towns Of
New England or the South.
Rev. Father Bernard Vaughan, the well
known London priest, Is not backward IN
expressing his opinion OF the turkey
trot," the bunny hug" or the dozen and
one like dances that have found more or
less favor in the nations Capital lie
says that nothing about these dances can
be recommended. as they tend TO infiame
the minds and passions Of those indulging
I'm them and cannot help but encourage,
If not produce, immortality.
Arouse the Animal.
From the movements gone through in
dancing these so-calIed Apache dances
said Father Vaughan, 1t is apparent that
they are not healthy for mind or morals.
Like their names, they are animal, and
arouse animal instincts IN those dancing
them. Men and women are not icicIes.
nor do they happen TO be oysters or
asbestos. They are susceptible TO fire.
and these dances are doout the best
sparks 1 can think of for starting the
conflagration that is ended only in death
and dishonor.
And as they are such fircbrands, l
think it would be a mighty good thing
If the hose should be turned on all those
persons practicing them. The hose might
put out the ire before II gained much
Roadway, but after the flames have once
taken hold OF the. brain or the dancers
the patent extinguisher has not yet been
invented that would Quench the flre.'

CASE OF SHIVER
OR LAME ARMS"
Street Car Conductors Tell Why
They Discard 0Vercoats
While on Duty.

Forced to choose between suffering
from cold and suffering from lamed arms,
the majority OF conductors on the street
railway lines OF the District have elected
freezing as the lesser OF two evils since
the cold wave struck Washington.
J. L. Dawson, of as Irving street
northwest. in a Communication TO The
Washington Herald. states that he was
informed by a conductor that the street
railway companies have adopted a rule
that conductors shall not wear Overcoats
when on duty.
David S. CARL. general manager OF the
Capital Traction Company. declares that
no such ruling has been made by the cor
poratiQn with which he is connected. and
he asserts that so far as he knows no
street railway company in the District
prohibits conductors from wearing over
coats.
W. +. Ham, treasurer OF the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company, re-
fused TO discuss the question, but at the
offices Of the company IL was stated that
conductors are permitted to wear uni
form coats and any other warm apparel
when on duty.
Conductors on both the Capital Trac-
ton and Washington Railway and Elcc-
tric lines, affirmed the statement Of Mr..
Carll that there Is no rule prohibiting
the wearing OF overcoats and revealed the
reasons why but a few conductors wear
overcoats in frigid weather.
One conductor said: Il wore an over
coat one day in the beginning OF the
winter and after making three trips my
arm was lamed so badly I had 10 report
sick and 60 home. The heavy coat makes
it almost impossible 10 reach overhead to
pull the bell cord and register fares every
few seconds. Most OF the conductors
prefer freezing TO being iamed so they
cannot work. II a contrivanCe could be
arranged so that We would not have 10
reach high overhead TO register fares
and pull the bell cord we could wear
overcoats and enjoy a greater degree Of
comfort"

HIS REMEDY, SOCIALISM.
Prof. viii Talks to Secular League
on "PoIItIcaI Decadencc.,

At its regular weekly meeting at
Pythian Temple yesterday afternoon the
Washington Secular League was ad-
dressed by Prof. Thomas f. viii on
Causes Of political decadence."
The causes OF our political evils the
speaker found in the domination Of the
commercial spirit and in the policy Of
''laisseZ-faire," under white private in
terests have been allowed TO grow to
where they now overshadow government.
The speaker was OF the opinion that
the remedy for the evils described is to
be found in the development OF real
democracy and in the reorganization of
society upon the principles of socialism.
A critical discussion followed the ad-
dress.
