CHURCHES DIVIDED
OVER THE DANCES
VIEWS ARE AT VARIANCE OVER
THE PROPERTY OF THE
NEW DANCES.

Atlanta, Nov 24.-The Protestant
-hurches and the Protestant ministers
and people OF Atlanta are completely
divided on the subject of the tango,
the turkey trot and other modern
dances.
While some are denouncing all of
these dances lndiscrimiEately as inn
modest inventions of the devil, ether
pillars of the church are planning 4
society tango tea for the benefit of
in their discussion of the situation,
differ widely in their views.
Rev. c. 4. A. pise, of st. Phillips
cathedral, Episcopalian, is quoted as
saying
While | have been assured that all
these modern steps can be danced
without any immodesty, | must admit
that the manner in which | have seen
them danced is not decent
In fact, | do not understand how
any selfrespecting woman can take
her part in such dance-or how any
|sei-respecting and woman-respecting,
man can ask woman to dance in
such a manner
AS to the attitude of the church, it
must be understood that the Episco-
palians always have believed that
they were not under the law, but
under grace"
Rev. w. w. Meminger, of All Saints
church, adopts moro cheerful view.
lie says:
With respect to this movement of
the Christian churches against the
slit skirt and tango, ! think it would
have been more timely a, year ago. ?
am convinced that feminine apparel
is today far less eXtravagant In it's
.so-called immodesty than it was a
year ago. Also | believe the various
fantastic dances are in better taste
This alarming tendency isn't so
very alarming today. The pendulum
always swings back, ana such ebulli-
lions in amusement and dress wear
themselves out and die a natural
death without the prod of the REFORM
er. | don't believe the tango and slit
SKIRT need attention from the church."

INDEPENDENTS Rejoice

The American Telephone and Tele-
graph company, commonly known as
the Bell company, has voluntarily Of
fered to surrender privileges which
Attorney General McReynolds thinks
could never have been wrung from it
through the courts, and the Wilson
administration swells with honest
pride. But the joy of the government
Is infinitesimal as compared to that Of
the Independent telephone COM
panies scattered over the United
States.
Not only will all participation in the
affairs of the Western Union Tele-
graph company be given up by The
Bell corporation, but it has further
agreed to throw open its long distance
lines to all who care to use them.
Thus if the subscriber to telephone
OF an opposition company wants to
take advantage of long distance SER
vice, he can, for nominal charge,
do so from his home or office. Had the
Independents or any one OF them at
tempted to compete with the Bell COM
pany by paralleling its wire, the nee
essary outlay would have amounted
to millions of dollars.
By some the Bell company's renun-
citation of rights in every way legal
is regarded as move to forestall
government ownership of the tele-
phone and telegraph lines. Mr.. Nc
Reynolds is said to be strongly OPP
posed to government ownership, but
other members of the Wilson cabinet
are not so conservative. The Attorney
General feels, however, that govern
nent ownership would have come I'M
less there had been a restoration Of
free competition in public service, and
for this reason he is particularly graf
flied by the generous offer of the
great Bell concern.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
Love may be blind, but that's no reason
Why girl should put the powder on so
thick that fellow can taste It.
A woman believes that every time a
robbed
When 90 women in a crowd of 100 are
laughing at mans humor, you can bet
that the woman with the long face is his
wife.
No matter how old an unmarried heiress
may be, she is never regarded as an old
maid.
When woman gets IS cents week out
Of her husband she tells the neighbors
that it is $25.
When a young fellow applies for POSI-
ton he is usually surprised that his
prospective employers never ask him how
many balls he can run at pool.
1t takes a long course of business train
ing to make a woman get to believe that
telegram can contain anything but
Lad news.
We all like to imagine that we are
v orked to death. But no man is nearly
as busy as he thinks he is.
You may find white blackbirds and sing
ing swans in this world, but you can't
FIND a good woman who will forgive
bad one.
If a woman has been married long
enough wash day is a more important
event than her wedding anniversary.
IL man has enough money the world
will refer to his ornefyness as the "ec-
centricity of genius"

uelle maiden who can attack a square
mea, with all the zest and abandon of a
hungry longshoreman.
A man can get a lot of comfort out
of the reflection that he isn't as bad as
he might be.
Too often you couldn't tell that widow
was in mourning IL she didn't dress that
way.
The reason a girl knows that an SIS
corset would injure her health is because
she has to wear the 9S-eent kind.
When a man fees from temptation he
usually waits around the corner until she
catches up with him.

Fine Effect on Business

Two things have concurred within
the past few days to brighten the bust
ness world-the passage of the cur
rency bill, and President Wilson's re-
marks in reference to "big business"
growing out of the telephone COM
pany's ready acquiescence in the adj
ministration's policy in dealing with
corporations. What the President had
to say made it plain that he would
be only too glad to cooperate with
"big business" as he consistently
could in readjusting such organi-
zations as might be found operating
contrary to the Sherman antitrust
law.
The administration friendly atti-
tude toward the larger business inter-
ests of the country is what might
have been expected, but calamity
howlers and enemies of the democratic
party had worked themselves up into
believing or pretending to believe
that President Wilson would be ex-
tremely radical in dealing with the
trusts.
1t is now generally believed that the
Interstate commerce commission will
soon announce its decision in favor of
the railroads on their petition for the
right to advance freight rates. Nearly
every branch of business in this coun-
try will be greatly benefited by such
action on the part of the commission.
There has been more optimism in New
York's financial district this week
than at any other time within the past
four months. Business conditions are
fundamentally sound, and early in
the new year prosperity, with a big
"P,' will probably be in full swing.
The prospects for Birmingham and the
Birmingham district were certainly
never brighter than they are today.

SIMPLE TOYS ARE BEST

FROM the Brooklyn Eagle.
The doll made out of a potato, with
ink spots for eyes and Whitfield wooden
arms and legs, has always been within
the reach of any fond mamma, no mat
ter how far from civilization. 1t does
not go to sleep" and no inquisitive
youngster is tempted to spoil 1t to find
the explanation of that phenomenon.
The Teddy bear" has like simplicity,
without like cheapness. DIR. Monies
SORTS plea for simple toys gives range
enough for any parent who wants to
show love by spending money.
Elaborate mechanical devices amuse
children at first sight. In the expert
ence of most families they do not last
long. Made familiar with what can be
seen of their operation the child wants
TO learn more He wants to see the in
side, to see "the wheels go round" And
It's lot easier to pick the thing apart
than to put it together again.
But we may assume that DR.. Montes-
sori is a sort of Cassandra, whose pre-
dictions will not be believed though
true; or, at least. the voice of one cry
ing in the wilderness, too far off to be
heard. When our Johnny compares his
Christmas toys with Willie's, next door,
we don't want Willie to laugh at them.
That is vanity common to grown up
nature, and too often discoverable in
children themselves. Simple toys are
best for unspoiled children. If there
are any such children left, they will
get simple toys and be happy That Is
all DIR. Montessori can expect

Good Resolution.

The resolutions adopted BY the city
commission designed to break up auto
mobile speeding will doubtless have a
good effect. They were published in
The Age Herald of Wednesday, but
they will bear repeating That was
an excellent idea providing that half
of the sS0-the amount of the reward
offered--be paid to the Mercy Home.
These. are the resolutions:
Resolved. That reward of $50 be
and Is hereby offered by the city of
Birmingham for the arrest and con-
Vietlon of any person violating the
speed laws of this city with motorcycle
or automobile, or with running motor
cycle or automobile with muffler open.
Resolved further, That one-half of
the above reward shall be paid to the
person or persons (other than arrest :

The Christmas Festival

On this Christmas day religious SER
vices in many churches are made es-
pecially attractive, and the Christmas
shirt of good will is felt throughout
Christendom.
According to some ecclesiastical au-
thorities the feast of Christ's birth
was not celebrated in the very early
church. as the Christian usage was to
celebrate the death of remarkable per-
SONS rather than their birth; but a
feast in memory of the birth OF the
Savior was established in the fourth
century, and in the fifth century the
Latin church ordered it to be OBJ
served forever on the day of the old
Roman feast of Sol"
In all Christian countries practical
" everybody observes in some way
Christmas, whether they be connected
with any religious body or not. It's
social observance eNlelluo W eiiooC Va
all creeds and of no creed. In nearly
all countries the children are remem-
bered by Santa Claus or Kris kringle,
and seeing the joy and frolic of the lit
tie ones and giving to the poor are
among the great pleasures which
Christmas brings. The custom of
exchanging presents among relations
and friends is still in vogue, but not
as much so as it was in years gone
by. The inexpensive Christmas card
is fast taking the place of the more
or less expensive Christmas gift.
But no matter how customs may
change the little ones will always
have a Santa Claus, and the Christ
mas spirit will always be felt among
we'll disposed men and women.

ANIMALS FORECAST WEATHER
from London Tit-Rits.

Cats fur is full of electricity and be-
fore thunderstorm cat is always
extremely lively and playful, probably on
account of it's electrical condition. Be-
fore rain is expected you will see cat
assiduously washing it's face.
Donkeys. will bray loudly ard contin-
uously at the approach of storm. II
cows lie down in the early morning in
stead of feeding, or huddle together with
their tails to windwarl, then there is
rain about.
Like cats, the approach of a thunder
storm makes cows extremely frislxy. They
run up and down the field and butt i'm
agirary obstacles at such times.
Sheep turn their heads to the wind
when the day is going TO be fine. But
if they Craze with their tails TO windward
it is a sure sign of rain, SO experienced
shepherds say. Like COWS, too, they
show an unusual liveliness at approach
of storm. Even the sedate pig Is
watched by country weather prophets,
for it is always uneasy when rain is
coming.
Most birds are restless when a change
is expected. Rain is indicated by guinea
fowls and peacocks squalIing, by parrots
whistling, and by pigeons returning home
unusually early.

They We're speaking about the remark

the human kind the other night when
Congressman Thomas C. Thatcher of
Massachusetts recalled an interesting
case along that line.
One afternoon, he said, an esteemed
citizen who had absorbed too much gas

About so years ago she came back
to America. She did some. translating.
She named seribners as one OF the firms
that had employed her. and said the
Review of Reviews had used her ar
ticles. Meanwhile she wrote two novels
and several poems, but could not sell
them
Recently she had been living in the
boarding house of Mrs. Edna Miller, 20S
West Seventy-eighth street She said
she had to leave because she had no
money She left her manuscripts and
trunk with Mrs. Miller. She told Mrs.
Van Slingerland that Vaughan Chaser,
a theatrical manager and member of
the Players club, who lives at 16 Gram
ercy park, but is now In the west,
was her nephew. and that Miss Amy
Fay of 6s West Ninety-irst street,
president of the Philharmonic society,
also was relative.
When Mrs. Van Slingerland had heard
this narrative she said
Miss Vaughan, there's a big room
upstairs for you. Make 1t your home. Be
comfortable. don't worry, and I'll try
to help you find a publisher"
She gave Miss Vaughan a dress and
coat of her own and the hopeful poetess
of 81 set forth on her rounds again
A few nights ago she addressed a
meeting at the suffragist headquarters,
II West Thirty-fourth street She was
an active old lady and looked about co
years of age.
DIR. Hollenberg said last night that
he had known Miss Vaughan about six
years and had read her poetry.

too exalted for the persent public taste.

The Idealistic society," believe, was
about to elect her president, and to
bring her work to the attention of pub
fishers.
Miss Amy Fay said that her grand
mother and Miss Vaughan's grandmoth-
er were cousin, but had seen little OF
each other.
Miss Vaughan's former land1ady, Mrs.
Edna Miller, said that Miss Vaughan
entered her house in September and
that she kept her until her bill was
