No Indecent

"As to flirting as it is commonly

can go without violating the law. New

Miss Nina Gentry to Try to
Duplicate Her Record
Scores Abroad.

It has remained for an Atlanta girl
to invade the native home of golf with
the idea of demonstrating once and for
all time that the brand of the bonnie
game we play down in this neighbor-
hood is about as classy and well exc
cuted as the article they put up on the
heather where they've been playing
since goodness only knows when.
Miss Nina Gentry, who is we'll known
throughout the South as golf ex-
pert, is in London with her father w.
T. Gentry. head of the Southern Bell
Telephone Company, and a party of At
lanta relatives and friends.
They're going to do France and Wen
ma, the Rhine country and nearly every
stored spot in Europe before their re
turn in July.
Miss Gentry has taken with her her
entire golfng outfit. and so have some
of the rest. But it is on Scotland that
the Atlanta girl has particular designs,
and even before she begins her sight
seeing she's going to invade all the his
toric links of the heather country to
see if the playing which has won her
fame and records throughout the South
land can't be duplicated abroad,
She will play over the green at St
Andrew. which is the premier golf links
in the world. and she will even tread
the grass of Skibo, where Andrew Car
negie holds forth when he's abroad
As a matter of fact, if Miss Gentry
accepts all the invitations received to
golf with those who have admired her
proves in America, she won't do very
much else in Europe
Miss Gentry says frankly she doesn't
need the trip for recreation at all. She's
of the opinion that good golfer has a
better chance than most other women
TO live to be a hundred years old.

Nd ARBITRATION
IN HOTELS STRIKE
New York Proprietors Defy
Walters, Declaring They viii
Never Recognize Union.

NEW YORK. June 3.-Efforts of the
state board of arbitration to effect a
settlement of the walters strike which
has now affected 81 hotels and restau-
rants were rejected today by the hotel
managers
I'VE are able to serve our customers
and only unconditional surrender of the
strikers of their demand for union rec
ognition will bring peace negotiations, "
was the ultimatum from the hotel men
when approached in the interest Of a
settlement.
Revised figures on the numbers of
walters and cooks who had struck
showed that $500 employees were out.
The strike leaders declared that they
would never surrender on their demand
for union recognition.
That the struggle has only begun was
the declaration of Financial Secretary
Bloehlinger, of the International Hotel
Workers union.
when our campaign is in full swing,
he said, 1--WE viii not only be able to
get 100000 hotel and restaurant work
ers out in this city, but 100000 through
out the country
Strikers Have Resources.
There is plenty of time. We can
hold out for six months and have plenty
of money"
I'VE have no objection" said Presi-
dent Reid, Of the Hotel Mems associa-
ton, ITO meeting the two representa-
tives of the state board at any time, but
it might as we'll be understood in adj
vance that any effort to have us recog-
nize the union and treat with the union
| leaders will not be considered. That is
something we will not do We will
close every hotel in New York first"
The hotel managers planned to make
today the crucial point of the effort to
break the strike. With 300 members of
the Queen society here from Montreal
and Quebec and large importation Of
negro walters. they had four of the
largest strike breaking firms in the
country at work getting walters and
cooks for the inside work and strong
arm men for the outside protection
Not since the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
strike have so many strike breaking
agencies been employed in this city at
one time

Woman S Maternal
Love Dead.

The passing of the resolutions came
as the women's answer to the scathing
denunciation of the modern woman"
by Evangelist Jones, who had filled the
Forsyth with Atlanta wives and moth
ers to tell them that the conduct of the
modern woman in the streets and in
her home was disgraceful
How do you expect woman to bear
burdens and carry sorrows if she con-
tinues to devote her life to worldly
pleasure he demanded
Your woman nowadays is not do
nestle. She is bossy, not even con-
tent to preside over the conduct of her
home. She gives up her life to the
pursuit of pleasure often she knows
more about the ball room and the
heights of fashion than she knows Of
her kitchen; her maternal love has
been deadened"

The modern woman is not fit to

knows more about the gilded sin of the
novel than she knows of the real ac
complishments of life. One crooked So
ciety woman can do more to damn in
nocent girls than all the outcast vom-
en- in the earthly bells of immortality"
Then Mr. Jones went on to dancing.
He scored the modern dance and card
playing, said these amusements
brought about too great familiarity be-
tween the sexes and declared:
Some women in Atlanta are as much
intoxicated with playing cards as are
some of the men with whisky"
Then he denounced immodest dress
ing and flirting on the street. Every
woman without qualification should
shrink from the touch of a mans
hand" he said, "for God meant it So"

ARREST WASHERS
ORDER Of CHIEF
To POLICE
Women of Atlanta, Aroused by
Evangelist, Hit Flirting and
ImmodeSt Dressing Here.

Evangelist Bob Jones' caustic criti-
cism of light living among Atlanta
women and the subsequent action of
the "Women's Only" meeting at the
Forsyth. calling upon the police and
judges of Atlanta to stop street flirting
and arrest women for immodest dress
ing, met with a declaration by Police
Chief Beavers today that all MASKING
IN Atlanta will be followed by arrest
and prosecution and that aggravated
cases of flirting in public places would
also be banned
Chief Beavers told The Georgian that
the regulation of flirting In It's ordinary
sense Is really not SO much matter
for police interference as for sound,
moral home teaching. and he added
that since the police were not arbiters
OF fashions it was very difficult mat
ter for him to determine whether a
woman's dress should be censored by
the police instead of by the city's wom-
en- themselves or the governing boards
of the municipality
But the chief declared that his men
had already been long under orders to
arrest Washers wherever they are
found in public places-and Recorder
Preston added that if women immorally
dressed or unity clad were brought
into his court he would punish them
just as far as the law allowed
