 DANCE TICKETS

stettin, Germany, Oct. 29-(By The Associated Press-The workers of Stettin and suburbs have struck against paying all the entrance fees into dances, and the refreshments, for their girl or women partners at dances. Women, they assert, are now earning about as much as men, and should bear their share. They posi- lively will not dance with any wo- man who does not pay her own way The ultimatum was published in Stettin paper, and reads:
 '"The dancing ladies' world should pay for itself. The Revolution brought the same rights for man and woman. As a result we demand that the young people of Stettin no longer to pay for the ladies. Why should we male workers who have to earn money with our hands dance away 5 or marks, perhaps a bottle of wine and other things, in order to show ourselves as cavaliers to ladies?
 eff the ladies are willing to amuse themselves with us Sunday after moons, then they should bear the eX- pense in equal shares since We earn our money by the sweat of our brows? Therefore, open your pocket book, or remain at home"
 The appeal is signed by many young Stettin people, which have ac- nuired good SenSe.

 Good gracious" said the recently bereaved widow who kept the shop, whatever do you want with all them things, MT. Giles?"
 "I dunno" replied the worthy far mer, but you know I am the execut- or of your husbands will, and Lawyer Styles said I was to be sure and carry out all the provisions"
