JUVENILE JUDGES
DISCUSS FASHIONS
Slit Skirt Held Responsible
for immortality Among
Young Girls.

Ethics Of the modern feminine fash
ions, OF the lack Of them, was the sub,
lect Of discussion at conference
between five Juvenile court judges and
the members of the state Juvenile court
commission held in the Office Of the
governor yesterday.
The foibles of fashion have ceased
to be mere foibles and have become a
real menace to the moral welfare of
boys and girls, according to the opin-
ions expressed. All agreed that juve-
nile court officers should be instructed
to combat this evil of dress with all
possible influence.
The slit skirt with its consequent
expose Of twinkling, silk ankles, the
Hshuf1e' walk, low neck dresses and
waists that libel the original purposes
for which clothing was invented, came
in for untempered criticism. The adop-
tion Of these fashions by young women
and girls was decried as one of the
most insidious influences for evil
against which the Juvenile courts have
to operate.
The out-of-town Judges reported at
the meeting that to all appearances the
immortality among young people
throughout the state, over which so
much alarm was shown by the Juvenile
court officials some time ago, Is on the
decrease, duo, they said, to a systematic
and .tireless campaign by the Juvenile
court workers,
Before adiourning the judges took
occasion to condemn the hatband do
scriptions SO prevalent on the streets
at this time and other streamers sold
by street hawkers at times Of carnival
and special occasion, 1t was decided to
conduct campaign against these
thugs.
Among those present at the confer
ence, aside from the members of the
state commission, were Judge D. T.
Lewis Of Provo, Judge Alexander Nc
Master Of Salt Lake, Judge Fl. A. Pc
terson Of Logan, Judge V, G. Gunnell
Of Ogden and Judge T. H. Burton of
Nephi.

CLEANER JOURNALISM
THEME OF SPEAKER
Distinction Between Fit and
Unfit News Matter Pointed
Out to Editors.

A distinction between stories that
should and those that should not be
printed in newspapers was drawn yes
terday at the semi annual meeting of
the Utah Newspaper association, which
was held in the Commercial club
Frank p Gallagher, managing editor
of The Tribune, explained the distinc-
ton in an address to the association.
The speaker pointed out the radical
difference between news stories de-
signed solely to excite the passions and
the stories which. while dealing with
certain Objectionable features, carry
with them warnings Of great moral
value. Stories intended merely RS
appeals to prurient minds, he said,
had no place in decent journalism
Most Of the crime stories and those
dealing with domestic relations, he
added, did carry moral warnings and
were Legitimate as news, The Diggs-
Caminetti case in California was men
toned as signal example Of crime
story that pointed powerful moral
lesson,
The speaker said that those who were
agitating for cleaner journalism usual
" ignored the distinction, forgetting
that the Scriptures and the his
tories Of all nations were filled with
"crime stories" of high moral value.
Will G. Farrell, secretary Of the
Commercial club, gave an interesting
address on the development of the ter
ritory tributary to Salt Lake City. He
declared it the object of the Salt Lake
Commercial club to build up Utah, be-
cause only by this means could Salt
Lake make progress.
Discussions were carried on during
the meeting by the members. One was
devoted to the Utah manufacturers OF
Salt Lake City and their failure to ad-
vertise in the country papers Of Utah.
1t was asserted that the manufacturers
Of Salt Lake City expected the country
papers to give gratis the publicity for
which manufacturers from outside Of
the state paid
