ANNOUNCEMENTS
THE REV. M. P. BoYNToN
 saAPPRovES VICE MOVIE.
"Nothins More Monumentally Non-l sensicai Than Foolish Silence in Matters of Sex,' Minister Says.

Unreseryed approval of "the Little Girl Next Door,. the moving picture based on the work of Lieut.. Gov. Bar ratt O'Harass vie commission, was ex- pressed by the Rev, M. F. Boynton last night in his sermon atethe Woodlawn Baptist church. The picture was re- gently the object of bitter attack bysAld. Robert M. Buck
 There is no blunder of the human race more monumentally nonsensical than the foolish and cowardly silence in matters of sex. said MT. Boynton. Tt is almost altogether due to this darkness and reticenee that the foul creatures known as panders and white slavers have hourished. If ever a. so- cial attitude were utterly discredited, it is this old fashioned false modesty that even now cries out against such an expose as that of "The Little Girl Next. Door,"
 This much talked of photoplay will be shown at the Auditorium next Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday. Prices 15c and 25c. Matinee and even ing. A few reserved seats evenings soc. No childre nadmitted.

THE COMING FASHION.

In lecture recently delivered in South Bend, Ind, Georgie defended short sleeves the low neck the short skirt signs of the awakening of woman to demand comfort fashion and health. To mention com fort health in the breath with fashion is revo in itself Fashion has long been the only recog of dress Comfort and health have been left to the unfashionabe worse yet-to the strong minded
 But that the makers of fashions have let some comfortable and heahfu features slip into the styles and have been unable to get rid of them afterwards
 The business and the outdoors girl demanded styles that adapted to their needs and are therefore comfortable
 The sensible and sanitary short skirt comfortable collar or none all things that bound to finger in spite of varying fashions.
 It's slow process But day, we believe, the laws fashion will be the laws of beauty good taste, comfort and health.

 This is desperate situation for the daughters oi American families find themselves in' says the Fri bune Imagine having to wash the dishes before going to theater or the Imagine the pain of having to learn how to sweep and help with the dusng in the morning * * We suspect that good many girls have adopted feminsm because seemed to justify their neglect of dishes. Apparently dishwash ing for revival We confess are not partcu- lary sorry"
 If the women who have been deegating their house. work to other while they exercise their wits nat oc equations requiring apparently skill than house work should come back revival of wishwashng in the old, cumbersome waste motion back breaking fashion would great pity But if the necessity for doing the work themselves will bring them back to it with an openmnded attitude toward housework, that will be different matter. Housework has been the last occupations utilize machinery to adopt efficiency methods The women who do it are usually so busy duty after another that they cannot their work as a whole in perspective. They cannot see the forest the trees They hampered by habit and tradition They do take readily ways of doing their work.
 This is where the servant scarcity may help. If who have not been accustomed to housework but trained minds suddenly forced to do their own work they will not tolerate the ancient drudgery which intelligent machinery and conservation ideas made unnecessary They will bring their tai power bear upon this job upon any other task with the result that methods of attacking be greatly improved along the line Anything which will help modernze these mmemorable abors is to be wei comed
