RAG DANCES ARE
BARRED FROM
LIBRARY
SANTA FE WoMEN's BOARD OF
TRADE ANNOUNCES TABOO
FOR THE TWISTS

Santa Fe, Sept 10.-The strains Of
the Midnight Choo Choo' will no
longer fill the air; Ger the slippery
floor the twinkling toes will no longer
take the caressing tango glide, zone.
two three, fourn-the whirl to syn
copated music, with its thrills and
dazzling dizziness, must depart
The rag dance and the library hall
are no longer on speaking terms.
This is the news that has sped over
the city following the meeting Of the
ladies Of the women's board Of trade
held yesterday afternoon. For years
the organization has held monthly
dance-and generally a dance Of great
delight and large attendance Of re-
cent date the rag" in its many forms
has invaded the precincts Of the hall,
causing comment, favorable and un-
favorable.
The rag question came up at the
meeting of the ladies yesterday and
BY a big vote the rag was tabooed.
So it is said. And last night maidens,
young and fair, put their heads to-
kether and were heard to say: What
do you think Of that?' and Wen have
to have rag parties Of our own" and
so forth.
OF course, when there are private
dances at the library hall this action
will not interfere with the rag, as is
pointed out. 1t applies to dances held
under the auspices of the womens
board Of trade.
The action Of the Elks and the
women's board of trade put the
quietus on the dance fantastique at
two favorite ball rooms. There is
still place to dance the rag-at the
Santa Fe club ball room and ah yes,
at the armory.
Those who have discarded the waltz
and two step as old fashioned" may
as well return to their first love-
if they are to shine at library hall
and the Elks.

TWO MURDERS TO
Be PROBED BY
JURY
COMING SESSION OF COURT in
BERNALILLo COUNTY TO
BE INTERESTING

Albuquerque, Sept. 10.-When the

members Of his family were returning

argument Mata claims that he saw
Gallegos about to reach for weapon.

neck, severing an artery which caused

sidered by the grand jury is that
