Some years ago an evangelist came
.o Columbus ONO. and was provided
with the largest auditorium in the
city for series Of sensational ser
mons that brought great crowds. and
set all the preachers for miles around
TO talking n their pulpits about the
subjects that were handled by the
visiting evangelist And many a
staid congregation was startled out
Of its calm content
One of the subjects he handled for
instance. vas advertised n the
newspapers "One hundred Reasons
Why Dancing Is Sin" He gave the
hundred reasons to large Thursday
night audience and on the following
Sunday every orthodox church in Co
lumbus had something 10 say along
the same line. all Of them more or
less enthusiastically backing up
the evangelist and his hundred rea-
sons
The subject was 50 attractive and
the churches so well attended that
the next Sunday. also many of the
churches had sermons scheduled on
Why Dancing IS Sin" and 10 the
amazement Of friends who knew him
well. the pastor Of the First Uniyer-
ro4;O+ oh,v.L le,,.or+IOAO.. ,rJ ,,pra
generated" announced in the news,
papers that ne too would talk upon
the theme, why Dancing Is Sin"
His church was crowded long before
the hour set for the sermon, and
many were turned away And what
he told that congregation was that
dancing is sin when the music is
poor. or the floor inferior, or the room
badly ventilated, or the company IN
fit, or the dancing steps freakish and
ungraceful"
Not to dance well'-the real sin
and strangely enough, instead Of
bringing the usual food of criticism
that his utterances sometimes
brought, this statement seemed rath-
er fair to the men who had been talk

rum was no longer needed for his
congregations.

English Leader of
 Labor to See How
 Unions Work Here

London, Nov. 15.-(By the Asso- ciated Press.)-G. H. Stuart-Bun- ming. one of the most influe tiai English labor leaders, an avowed en- emy of "direct action extremists. will obtain his first impression of trades unionism in the United States the World Labor congress. He is a letter carrier. and an interna- tionalist in his political svnnpathies. Mir. Running has retained his leader ship in organized labor for con- siderably longer period than any ot}l- CT responsible official of the British labor movement. For seventeen years he has been general secretary of the Postmen's federation whicn has a membership today of 67000. He is president of the Civil Service federation. a wage-earners' society, with membership of perhaps 150,o0o. For one term he was an executive of the British Labor party and for six years has been member of the parliamentary committee of the Trades Union congress.
 It was during the recent turbulent session of the latter organization in Glasgow that Mir. Burning came most prominently into the linelight. To his courageous opposition there | to so-called "direct action," or na- tional strike advocates. is attributed, in a large degree, the peaceful ad- iustment of industrial foment which threatened to precipitate serious in- i ternal troubles through Britain. l Mir. Running was a member of the committee composed of representa- { tives of organized labor from all parts of the empire which wrote a preliminary draft of the labor char ter-a draft which. with sorae few alterations, was endorsed and made one of the most important works of the Paris Peace conference.
 Another of Mr. Bunning's activi- ties has been in promotin gthe exten- sion of cooperative buying and dis tributing organizations in the Unit ed Kingdom. This adjunct of trades unionism is conducted on much more extensive scale in Great Brie- ain than in the United States Ths enterprise has been so successfully
 conducted that large boot and shoe
 and textile manufactories, number of coal mines, fruit farms and tes
 gardens are owned by members ot these cooperative societies: the prod
 ucts of these establishments beine
 sold to society members on cos
 basis.
 Through his leadership in British
 labor afafirs, Mir. Burning has z
 rather intimate acquaintance witt
 Samuel Gompers, and other captain
 of American labor.

Russians Placed
 Faith in Allies;
 LOafed at Work

Archangel. Nov. 15.-(By the As fcciated Press.)-Apparently the influence of the allies was one of the reasons for the low efficiency heretofore displayed by the Northern Russians in fighting the Bolsheviki. They depended too much on the allies guidance and assistance.
 Upon the departure of the British. all civil and military affairs were taken over exclusively by Russians. The first fortnight that they have been thrown on their own resources has demonstrated that in this region they can not only hold the front but can develop initiative and move for ward where necessary.
 The conviction is growing that with the arrival of Serbian and Cze- cho-Slovak troops they will not only be able to defend the northern dis trict but will be able to give ma terial assistance on other Russian fronts.

ISOLATED FOR FOUR
 YEARS IN TIE MDS
 WOMAN BACK AGAIN
Lost to World Since Austrian Hordes Swept Over
 Montenegro

podgoritza, Montenegro, Nov. b, Isolated for four years in the fast nesses of the Montenegrin mountains through the fortunes of war, Mrs. Rose Nj. Struger, formerly Miss Rose Webb of Tacoma, Washington, will soon be restored to her husband n St. Paul, Minnesota. Lost to her world since the Austrian hordes swept over the country and her hus- band marched away with the Mon- tenegrin troops, she and her ilttie son have suffered all the anguish of complete isolation from family anf friends besides the physical discon1- forts of wartime living in q war wrecked country.
 Five years ago Marco Struger brought his wife and baby son from the United States to visit his pa..- ents at Ceklin. Montenegro, village high up in the mountains. While on their visit the war began and the husband shouldered his rifle to help stay the onrush of the Austrian ar mics. and hurried to army headquar- ters at Podgoritza He was eapturel by the Austrians, but escaped and re- turned to the United States where he sought Red Cross aid to find his wife in Montenegro.
 When an American Red Cross com mission arrived in Montenegro after the armistice, Mrs. Struger wrote asking for assistance for the refu- gees in her little mountain villagA Her appeal reached the commission a few days after an inquiry from Washington asking the commission to locate MT. Struger had been re- ceived. The supplies were sent to the mountain. town in response to Mrs. Struger's appeal. She took en- tire charge of the relief work in her district and made several convoy trips between her village and Pod goritza.
 She proved to be tall. goodloo'- ing woman, bronzed by the sun and winds of Montenegro. In her years with the mountaineers she has ac- quired perfect speaking knowledge of their language. Mrs. Struger was put into communication with her husband and soon will join him i:i America.

Po;ncare Must Go House Hunting
 When Term Ends

Paris, Nov. 15.-When President Poincare leaves the Elysees Palace, the French white house, four months hence to make way for a new chlar executive of the republic he will, like zens, be obliged to grapple with the difficult lodging problem.
 When he was elected President he had four domiciles, his apartment in Paris which he gave up at once, his villa at Sampigny, the old family homestead at Nubecourt aod small house at Bar le Due. The Sampigny villa was completely wrecked by the German artillery firing from the Camp of the Romans near Saint Mi- hiel, the homestead at Nubecourt was demolished by the explosion of an army motor truck loaded with gas oline while bomb from a German airplane fell full into the center of the house at Bar le Due and left nothing standing but ragged walls.
 Consequently the next ex-Presi- dent will have to go house hunting along with thousands of other citi- zens, running the small chance Of finding 8 suitable abiding place.

Hornsby May Have Led the National
 Hitters After All

St. Louis, Mo, Nov. 15.-Until the official batting averages are made known, there will he a dispute as to whether Rober Hornsby of the St. Lcuis club or Eddie Roush of the Worlds Champion Reds, was the leading hitter among the regulars in the National League. At the close of the season two sets of figures were going the rounds. One had Hornsby leading Moran's star, while the other had Roush outhitting Hornsby by about 3 points.
 Delving through the daily box scores, it is found that Hornsby went to the plate 514 times and cracked out 163 hits for an average of BY, while Roush made 159 hits in 503 attempts, for mark of ,316. All of these figures are, of course, unoffl- cial and there are always chances Of errors in box scores, so that no one will know just how the two stars stand until the official averages are made public However, it IS sure to be close.
 The month -by-month figures oa tho nair follow.
