PASTOR TEARS INTO THE
ARABIAN NIGHTS BALL
Declaring it to be a disgrace to
any self-respecting people and
something that the police should
stop, Rev. ]. S. Laid Thomas of
the Austin Methodist church in
his sermon Sunday tore the lining
out of the Arabian Nights ball,
to be held at the First Regiment
Armory, Jan. 10.
He classed the planned brilliant
affair with the old-time First
Ward ball, and said that the sale
of wine and cigarets was a dis
grace" Also that its being for the
relief of the poverty stricken was
a farce and that it meant the
ruination of many young men.
Those in charge of the affair,
and the women heads of Passa-
want and Lyingin Hospitals, for
whose benefit the ball is to be
given, were shocked at the pas
tors outburst, and said it was
without foundation and should be
ignored. They declared wine and
cigarets would not be sold by So
ciety debutantes, but by profess
SiOnal walters.
