Use Of SCHOOLS
As AID To LOVE
MAKING URGED
Peace Executive Would Make So
ciaI Centers of Houses Of In
structiOn in Big Cities,

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-Arthur
Deering Call, executive director of the
American Peace Society, has under
taken to win for the young men and
women of America the right to make
love to each other.
Said he:
One of the nations greatest needs
is the promotion of acquaintance be-
tween young men and women, the
fathers and mothers of the next gem
Grafton, under free, attractive and
wholesome conditions. We need more
wholesome conditions for 'courting.'
Il can think of nothing so impor-
tant to this generation as the life
mates of its various individuals. or
so vital to the next as its fathers and
mothers and home life generally.
Would Use Schools.
81 propose a wider use of school
buildings for social and neighborhood
purposes. l do not want love-mak-
ing a part of the school curriculum,
but / think that the same lips that
recite the multiplication table or de-
cline a noun in the class room in the
garish light of day might just as well
whisper tender nothings while the
moon peeks in at the window later on.
For a great majority of our young
people in the cities the dance halls
provide the only regular amusement
they can afford, where any man who
has the price can step up to any
young woman and ask her to dance.
No wonder such places become re-
cruiting places for vice.
No instruction Needed.
why not let the school be a cross
between the church and the saloon?
Every school should be arranged so
that in the evening the young folks
could gather there for games, folk
dancing classes, music athletics,
sewing classes and moving pictures
'All the young folks want is OPP
portunity to meet under proper envi-
ronment. We don't have to teach the
men how to make love, or young
women how to listen to them, but we
owe it to the race not to hinder or
pervert their natural tendencies by
improper environment"

Variation of Tango Brings Dancers One Step
Nearer Dining Each Step They Take.

WASHINGTON. June 2S.-The
Luncheon Lurch, the latest variation
Of the Tango and the Turkey Trot,
which has seized the society of the
Capital, is declared by experts on gas
tronomy to be the greatest known ap-
petizer and first aid to digestion.
So effective has It been found along
these lines that the Martini is now
almost unknown on the boards of
Washington hosts, while the pepsin
tablet supply of the druggists is prac-
tically considered worthless stock.
There is a deep method in the
Luncheon Lurch. Contrary to the
Tango, which is danced after tea,
the Lurcn is preprandian pastime. At
a given time before the viands are to
be served the orchestra strikes up
