MT. RAINIER TO Be
MECCA FOR DANCERS
Municipal Carnival in Suburb
Draws Big Crowds From
the Capital.

Mt. Rainiers municipal carnival will
be the mecca of Washington dance
ievotees during the coming week. The
carnival was expected to close Saturday
night. but because Of repeated requests
from Washington people that it run for
another week. in order to give the city
at least one dancing resort, the town
fathers decided to clean up another
s., 900 for Mt Rainier roads.
Five thousand dollars is the conserva-
tive estimate set by officials OF the car
nival of the amount gained by the
community in the cause of better roads,
last week Saturday night the carnfval
easily drew the largest crowd OF the
week to see Mrs. E. c. Buck. or MT.
Rainier, declared winner OF the cake
baking contest. There were sixty-nve
entries In the contest and twenty prises
were awarded.
Now that every outdoor resort close
to Washington. Is closed, with the ex-
ception of the Mt. Rainier carnival, the
town will probably be the most popular
place about the city for the dancing
contingent Owing to the fact that the
carnival officials decided to continue
II for another week. the athletic events
scheduled for last Saturday were post
poned until next Saturday,. J. c. Foster.

EAST EVIL: MINDED;
BISHOP |NT|MATES
Rev. DR.. Sanford Says They
Don't Fuss Over Display of
Figures Out West.

BOSTON. Sept. s.-Eastern people are
more sensitive about display Of the
figure than those of the West, accord
ing to the Rev. Louis c. S. Sanford,
bishop of San Joaquin. Cal, who de-
clares that the trouble with woman's
dress is what they put on and not what
they leave eff.
They leave too much to the imagina-
ton, as rule he said. out West
people are not SO sensitive about the
human body, and, although the game
styles prevail, there is not 90 much
talk. For instance, ii is customary and
perfectly proper for women to be on
the beach without stockings, but on an
Eastern beach that would seem i'm
proper"
The picture September Morn" was
accepted without question as to its
morality in California, the bishop said.
and there was no unwholesome gazing
at II through windows.
