A severe blow has been dealt the
craze for animal dances by the Rt.
Rev. Theodore S. Byrne, bishop OF
Nashville. Tenn, who yesterday an
nounced that persons who indulge In
such forms of amusement could not be
absolved from sin in the tribunal OF
pendnce.
by well-instructed Catholics these
principles are well understood" said
the bishop in issuing Instructions to the
clergy of his diocese, 'as they are also
by the children in our schools.
Il only felt 1t necessary to request
the priests of the diocese to call their
attention to these vile dances,
and to warn both young and old that
If they .indulge in them ii would be
useless for them to 20 to confession in
the hope of obtaining absolution, for.
should any priest be so indiscreet as to
attempt To absolve such a penitcnt. the
absolution would be worthless and the
confession would bring a curse, rather
than a blessing"

HEFL|N HITS HARD
At SUFFRAGE CAUSE
Congressman Coins New Word
to Express His Feelings for
Male Members of Party.

CONGRESSMAN Thomas Heflin of Ala
bama, inveterate foe to woman's suf-
frage, said today that a portion Of his
speech, which he delivered at the Fifth
Baptist Church last night, had been
misquoted in a morning newspaper.
ct did not say that was opposed to
sending young women to college" said
Mr.. Heflin. 'I believe in women get
ting all the education. possible, for that
fits them for iwomanhood's highest
duty-wifehood and motherhood. What
I said was that girls should not be
sent to colleges which teach Socialism
and woman's suffrage. The right kind
of colleges do not teach these doctrines,
and no mother or father should send a
girl to colleges which teach girl to be
a suffragist.
Il don't like to hear young girls get
back home from college and declare as
soon as she return that the women
should have the vote
Congressman Hefiin spoke on THE
Ideal Woman" holding up to his
hearers the ideal of King Solomon,
who had several hundred wives of one
kind or another.
Solomon does not describe the ideal
woman as one standing on a dry
goods box" said Mr.. Heflin, cor run
ming away from home in search Of the
ballot. He described this ideal wom-
an as one loved and trusted by her
husband, and as one who strives for
his good all the days Of her life"
In his attack on women's colleges.
the Congressman made particular al
fusion to Vassar, which he said was
''overrun with socialism and the suf-
frage craze"
Why He Refused To Debate.
Referring to his refusal to debate
the question OF suffrage with the
former Miss Inez Milholland, Mr.. Hef-
lin said that he feared he would have
to debate seven or eight women and
had refused for that reason. He said
he congratulated Miss Milholland on
having taken unto herself a husband,
and supposed that, according to the
suffrage doctrine. she had made the
proposal Of marriage herself.
The Congressman passed a severe
criticism on a number of his colleagues
when, in classifying the various adher-
ents, he spoke of 'suffragettors-the
male suffragettes, a feeble5minded. suf-
coined the word "suffrotescent' himself
and that It meant a person with a
wooden head which was shaky at the
base.
Test of Discipleship.
Three Tests of Discipleship" was the
subject of an address last night by

cation for the Y. NJ. c. A, who spoke
last night at the Second Baptist Church
in the absence of the pastor. At the
morning service. Mr.. Jones was also the
speaker, his subject being Personal Re-
Bgion and the Social Spirit"

to the children at Camp Good Will this

outing home of the Associated Chari-
ties, the two mannikins will indulge in
sprightly repartee, and even make re-
marks to the children in the audience.
These marionettes might be some
thing, of an old story to sophisticated
adults. and patrons Of vaudeville might
be a little weary Of such ventrilo-
quistic stunt" as will be embodied
in this performance, but to the children
at Camp Good Will this evenings ap-
pearance Of Mr.. Punch and Mrs. Judy
will be the climax of a day full of
entertaining features.
Harry Andree, of the navy yard, will
have charge Of the Punch and Judy
show.
Taggart Talks to Children.
Congressman Taggart of Kansas made
the address this afternoon to the child
ren.
II have little girl and boy of my
own at home,' said Mr.. Taggart, "and
my interest in children has greatly in
creased since youngsters like you were
brought by the stork to my house. 1t
is a highly fine thing that you boys and
girls are out in the country here en-
joying life in the open. 1t is the place
for small boys and girls to be in the
summer time. One would like to be
barefoot boy himself when he sees what
q good time you are having and what
comfortable camp is maintained here.
Speaking of Camp Good Will, though
not to the children there, Congressman
Taggart said today:
Camp Good Will is the very best
kind of a philanthropic institution. 1t
prevents many a poor little boy and
girl from becoming soured on life. Poor
children may feel that no one cares a
hang about them. I believe that an in
stitution like Camp Good VIII has the
best of mental and spiritual effects and
to say nothing of the bodily good
II does these poor children and
the tired mothers of some Of them. Any
one who knows anything about Camp
Good VIII must be emphatically for 1t,
and If 1t needs and money it should
certainly get it"
