be very thankful that the new dances
have been severely criticised.
Dancing is more popular all over
the United States now than it ever
has been, 3nd it is bound to have a
beneficial effect on the health of the
people, for there is no better exercise
than dancing,
can afternoon Of dancing, in my
opinion, is better than walking for an
hour or two. In dancing there is an
incentive-the desire 10 do the best
one can; walking for exercise. with
no particular destination and no par
ticular hurry is nothing but just
plain, tresome plugging-and l do
not believe in plugging.
Sees Nothing Imn1odest.
Il have never been able to find
anything immodest or immoral in the
new dances. and they are getting bet
ter all the time. The dipping and the
wriggling that characterized some of
them when they were introduced has
disappeared almost entirely. 1t is not
considered ultra now to wriggle and
,
are the better dancer you are. II
The tango and all the other much
abused but really beautiful dances
are here to stay, but the days Of
their critics are numbered. A new
diversion or pleasure will come along,
and the disciples of criticism are al
ways searching for something new.
when another fad makes its ap-
pearance, the criticism of the dances,
and likewise of women's fashions, will
cease, for the critics will not have
time to attend to them.
LAS far as women's clothes are con-
cerned, all women will tell you that
they are very comfortable; and all
nom critics will declare that they are
more beautiful and graceful than the
dress of our grandmothers

of course. / co not recollect that any
women have criticised the clothing
men wear, and yet some of them do
look rather funny We do not think
II is any OF our business, whereas the
critics-usually men-think ii their
solemn duty to tell us what to wear
and how to wear it,"
Mrs Futrelle came to Atlanta from
Baltimore, where she spent two weeks
with her daughter, Virginia, who is
in school at Notre Dame. She was
accompanied by her son, John.

DANIEL s LOCKER
CLUB MOVE TO
Be OPPOSED
Exact Terms Of Baptist Pastors
Plan to Pledge Members
Still Kept Secret.

Stirred by the announcement that
DR.. c. W. Daniel, pastor. and the
board of deacons of the First Baptist
Church will present resolutions deal
ing with the locker club situation TO
their congregation Sunday morning.
prominent members of the church
were talking in whispers Saturday of
possible opposition TO the minister's
plan.
The opposition to the idea of hav-
ing the church take a definite stand
on the locker club question by re-
questing members to resign their
memberships in clubs that violate the
law with a locker feature has been
simmering since the pastor and the
board of deacons met several DAYS
ago and passed the resolutions.
Those members who disapprove of
the resolution will not make any eff
fort to prevent their presentation To
the congregation Sunday morning. it
is understood, but many OF them
think they will not be adopted in
their present form and congregational
action taken without considerable OPP
position.
Green's Statement Quoted.
The opponents of the resolutions
have expressed their attitude in the
matter by quoting the statement Fri
day by John M. Green, chairman oe
the board &c deacons, who said: THE
Baptist Church Is a democracy and is
not run by any one man or set Of
men,"
The exact nature Of the resolutions
are kept secret, and members of the
board and DR.. Daniel declare they
will not be made public until Sunday
morning, One of the members of the
board, however, said they will put the
church distinctly on record as against
locker clubs.
Another member declared the res
olutions will be more in the nature Of
an appeal to the individual mem
bers of the church to let their con-
sciences govern them in their aff1lia-
ton with locker clubs.
Movement May Spread.
1t was reported Saturday that if DR..
Daniels crusade Is successful and he
obtains the adoption of his resolu-
tions, the action of the irst Baptist
Church will be followed by similar
action in every Baptist church in At
lanta; or, at least attempts will be
made by the pastors to get their
churches to take Similar action.
In this event, some of Atlanta's best
known men will be concerned, as the
Baptist churches of the city number
among their memberships many Of
the leaders in local civic affairs, who
also hold memberships in the high
class clubs Of the city. Some of them
are officials in these clubs.
DIR. Daniels resolutions, after they
are read to the congregation Sunday
morning, will be returned to the
board of deacons, and will then be
presented to the church for congre-
gational action ole night during the
week, probably Wednesday.

New Steps Are Pretty, and Denun-
citation Makes Them More Pop
ular, She Declares.

The end of the wave of criticism
sweeping the country, in so far as it
affects the so-called new dances"
and feminine fashions, is seen by Mrs.
Jacques Futrelle. widow of the ia
nous writer who was lost in the III
tanic disaster and herself an author.
She is in Atlanta for a weeks stay
with her mother Mrs ]. T. Peel, of
No, 81 West Fourth street.
Mrs. Futrele thinks that launching
diatribes against such dances as the
tango. the one-step, the hesitation
and others, and the holding up of
hands in righteous horror because
woman dares dress becomingly, COM
fortably and as she pleases, is but
the cropping out of the instictively
human desire to be forever talking
about something. She thinks criti-
cism itself has gotten to be more of
a fad than any of the things criti-
cised
Criticism Good Advertising.
Some people, especially those who
hold positions that bring them more
or less in the public notice" Mrs. Flu
trelle said, seem never to be happy
unless they are condemning some
popular diversion and pleasure-usu-
ally with sublime ignorance of their
subject.
They must forever be talking
about something, and they talk so
much they advertise the thing that
they condemn and everybody feels
that they must really try it and see If
It is as bad as the critics say it is
and then the particular fad which
has been under fire becomes popu-
lar.
1T seems that nothing nowadays
can be firmly established unless it
has first been criticised and con-
demne1 by everybody who thinks it
is his duty to attend to everybody
else's business
This craze for criticism and the
eagerness with which people criti-
else everybody in sight, has brought
about an unusual and an amusing
condition of things. Criticism has be-
come the fad of people who criticise
fads and faddists: to criticise has be-
come more popular than to do the
things that are criticised
Made New Dances Popular.
we owe the critics much, and
particular do we owe to them the
beautiful and graceful dances that
have been introduced within the past
few years. Had the tango and the
hesitation and the one step and the
others not been greeted with such a
storm of criticism they probably
would have abode their destined hour
and went their way'-and we should

SOCIALIST PERIL CITED
BY SENATOR LUKE LEA

each contributing his part toward the
success of the radicalism of today, in
which lies our safety for tomorrow.
= Discomfort and unrest have walked
for the last ten years. Signs
have been evident that foretold a period
of conflict. Such a period can be post

the requirements of labor; with courage
to deal frankly and even harshly with
the people of his environment and with
the confidence of those who are Seeking
- correction of the evils that made them
restless and discontinued.
Viewed IRON d non-partisan point and
measured by the patriotic needs of the
hour, our present President is such a
man.

planning how to spend their swollen for

who plan how to earn sufficient to live

Rated One of the Worlds En-
cheering Feats.

NEW YORK, January 9-The new
Catskill aqueduct through which within

50o.000,00O gallons day will flow, will
be opened tomorrow morning. A blast Of
dynamite will be fired 400 feet under
ground at 149th street and ST. Nicholas
avenue, and will signal the completion
Of the tunnel OF one Of the most stupen-
dous undertakings of the sort in the his
tory of the worlds municipalities. The
aqueduct has cost the city $162. 100000 in
money and the labor of more than Y, 900

Foreign engineers rank the aqueduct
with the Panama canal as one Of the
great engineering features of the world.
The aqueduct is the most difficult part
of the gigantic provision which has been
made for New York's water supply. The
Ashokan reservoir. from which the water
will flow through a fifteen-foot pipe in
its ninety-six-mile trip to the city, is 1878

of relocating highways and paying for
eleven miles of railroad track which must
be removed, approximate $4,000 600.
