Clergy Against Them.
The clergy and other civic workers
of the city. however. do not regard
these places as ideal substitutes for
the saloon and beer garden cabaret.
They point out that public dance halls
can, without the presence of intoXi-
eating liquors. become a source of
danger to young people.

discussing the sources of public
amusement that are expected to fol-
low prohibition. But I believe that
after the prohibition fight has been
won, the sources of amusement will
be taken up as a community question.
There will probably be organiza-
tions like the parent-teachers' asso-
Citations that will devise ways of pro-
viding wholesome amusement for the
community. OF course, what will work
out in one community will be impos-
sibie in another, and SO each COM

DR.. Wiley said that in prohibition
territory in various parts of the coun-
try this plan has been tried success
fully. He expressed the opinion that
IL this city is voted dry" some such
plan for providing substitute amuse-
ments will be devised. In many OF the
outlying sections of the city the plan
outlined by DR.. Wiley already is in
force on a small scale.
Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson. pastor of
Bethany Baptist Church. expressed
practically the same opinions, which
indicate that a definite plan is in

affOrding a substitute for the amuse-
ment places that we now have" said
the pastor. of course, the church en-
tiers into the social center plan, but
what 1 speak of is aside from thar.
Each community will have to work
out for itself what the substitute will
be.
'On general principles, girls are in
danger at public dance places unless
accompanied by their mothers or other
older persons" said DIR. Stevenson, re-
ferring to public dance halls.

UPON THE DEATH OF ONE OF ITS
MEMBERS, C. W. ANSLEY.

We, your committee appointed to
draw up resolutions on the death Of
Bro. c. w. Ansley, beg to submit the
folliwing:
Wheras, Our Heavenly Father to
whose will we humbly submit, in His
omnipotent wisdow, has sen fit to call
from earth to heaven our beloved
brother, c. w. Ansley, whose passion
for souls and sacrificial service for the
good cause have been felt far and near,
we shall miss the power of his exam
pie and the inspiration of his appeals
for the cause he loved so well.
We believe that he fought good
fight, kept the faith, and now wears
the fadeless, glorious crown reserved
in heaven for him, therefore, be it re.
solved:
First. That our League has sustain
ed the loss from our ranks of one who
was a recognized leader among us.
Second. That we acknowledge our
debt of gratitude to the Heavenly Fa-
ther for the benefit derived from asso-
citation with one whose Christian life,
patient devotion to duty and loyal sup
port of every worthy cause will be
cherished in memory and will afford
perpetual inspiration.
Third We believe God has promot-
ed our brother to a higher sphere of
service and praying that others among
us encouraged by his example may
make full surrender of themselves to
the service of the Master.

tions be spread among the minutes of

PRETTY GIRLS BREAK
UP MUSTACHE CLUB
Especial to Times -Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ga, May 11.-Mustaches
are not as popular this spring in Geor-
gia as they have been in past years,
according to the amusing story
brought to Atlanta by a visitor from
the little town of Gray.
1t seems that the young men of
Gray and Bradley, a neighboring ham
le, have formed mustache club, whose
members have agreed to turn out and
wear mustaches. 1t appears, however,
that the club will be short-lived, for
the president of the organization, a
young attorney has received orders
from his girl to remove them, and
that the door will be closed to him un-
til orders are obeyed.
The mustache is still intact, with the
young man begging for time, hoping
that with a full growth his looks will
be so improved that the embargo will
be raised. other like serious situations
are said to be impending unless the
mustaches are taken off.
