GUARANTY CO.
GETS CERT|F F|CATE
Is First in State to Be Permit

ance Business


Forecasting practical revolution
in the method of business involving
mortgage guarantees, the first GER
tificate for the transaction of mort
gage insurance business in the state
ever granted has been issued by In
surance Commissioner Cooper to the
western Mortgage and Guaranty
company.
In granting the certificate Commits
sioner Cooper reported:
The safety of the investment. the
rate Of interest paid and the entire
freedom from care on the part of the
investor should make these mortgage
certificates a very attractive form OF
investment for either the large or
small investor"
This law places the company under
the insurance law of the state ana

shall be there, and l look for some

tiful. as / have been told that the
dances as danced by Mr.. and Mrs.
Crane are all of these.
SCHOOLHOUsEs FOR DANCES
James Edward Rogers-There is a
need for more places where whole
some dancing may be held. If the
public can be brought to see the
necessity of throwing the school
houses open to dancing. where the
young folks may go with their
parents and the grown up children,
the Commonwealth club will have
done good work.
Dancing under proper supervision
may include any mode the times
bring out. Dancing is what the
dancers make 1t oftentimes. Under
present conditions the environments
cause this popular recreation to
sink sometimes. We would have
no ban on the tango or kindred
dances in the schools or the mu-
nicipally owned dance hall. They
would be properly supervised, and
any effort to turn dance into a
disgusting revel could be instantly
stopped.
GOLD FASHIONED BELIEFS"
Mrs. Francis Ferrier, wife of the for
mer mayor of Berkeley-I have not
seen these dances and know moth
ing of them. ] am afraid l would
not want to expresssan opinion. as
am rather old fashioned in my
beliefs in regard to the dances of
the present time.
PROHIBIT LIQUOR
E. A. WOlcott-We want places where
dancing can be conducted in a clean
manner. The kind of dancing would
cut no figure. While this is no
campaign against the dance hall
evil as it exists in some parts of
the city, it is probable that a sug-
gestion will be included in the re-
port of the committee asking that
liquor be prohibited where public
dances are given.
TANGO NOT A RAG
Mrs. j. n. Farrell do not consider
that the tango is a rag" dance. My
daughter has been attending some
of the classes in the latest steps.
and while 1 have not seen them, /
understand that they are very
graceful. picturesque and delightful.
/ can see nothing about them to
voice disapproval.

Business is good, and if any mer-

well known merchandise expert of the
east and northwest. who returned to
San Francisco after many years ab

Although / have heard few COM
plants since arriving here from busi-
ness men that business was a little
slow, 1 believe in such cases that it is
entirely the fault of the business man

this size the business man allows him
self to get rusty, allowing the young

wideawake and live ideas and take a
portion of his business away.
"A business is a great deal like the
human system. If there is a falling
off in your business there is always
some reason, just the same as when

HOPE TO SETTLE QUESTION
The Commonwealth club members
are wondering whether or not there is
any merit in the reports that the new
dances are sensuous and deadening to
fine morals, have the foundation of
rigid investigation laid and hope to
settle the question by opening public
schools to neighborhood dances where
only the steps that work for grace
and elegance will be allowed.
Following are interviews with sew
eral men who are members OF the
Commonwealth club and several
women who are members or the
Ebell clubs
Mrs. Thomas p. Hogan think that
the tango and the other dances that
are causing so much comment now
adays are merely passing fads and
will go their way without doing
any one either a great deal of good
or much harm. l feel that they are
graceful exercises and a welcome
relaxation from the rigors of formal
affairs. | can see nothing immoral
in them and believe that under
proper chaperonage there is no
harm in them for young or old.
"a DANCE is A DANCE"
Judre A. e. Graupner-The investiga-
ton is being conducted with the
view Of impressing the public with
the necessity for places where
wholesome dancing may be In
dulged in by the young people. We
hope to show that pubic dancing
as now conducted could be I'M
proved through different means.
There are two things that could
grow out of this-the throwing
open of the public schools for
neighborhood dancing and the es-
tablishment of public dance halls
by the city. The kind of dancing
would cut no figure. dance Is a
dance. Any kind can be MADE Vui-
gar. There would be no ban on the
kind of dance to be held In the
schoolhouses. 1t could be the
tango. the turkey trot or any KIND
of "ragging" so long as there was
no vulgarity.
