hundred thousand Catholic women
will wage unrelenting warfare upon

States as result Of the formation of
the League of Catholic Women, the
Organization Of which will be COM
pleted today.
Catholic women are to shut their

Hug, the Turkey Trot and similar one
step exercises and not only is the
ban to run against the dances but
likewise against the men and women
who dance them or who attend
dances where these steps are per-
mitted.
The Catholic women feel that as q
result Of tolerance with which these
dances have been received in all
classes of society, wave OF immoral
ity is sweeping the country. They
point to the form outlining diaphan-
GUS gown, the excessively slit skirt
the increase in cigarette smoking by
women and declare that the swelling
I divorce statistics are already de
moralizing, that as nation we ars
