WOMAN IN CENTRALIA
READS OWN OBITUARY

CENTRALIA, Wash, Dec. 29.-(U.
P.)-Mrs. Nina Miles received a real
thrill while reading her newspaper,
seeing her own obituary in print.
And her friends received a thrill
when they saw her on the street,
some thinking they saw her ghost.
Other friends who didn't happen to
meet her on the street. sent notes OF
coincidence to the family.
The mistake was due to an error
in an item which was intended to tell
of the death of woman who lived at
the Miles home, but the name Of Mrs
Miles had inadvertently replaced that
of the other woman.

the old-time reverence for woman
hood, you say. The aura of mys-
terry about the young woman no
longer exists. Everything is obvi-
Gus, no word is left unsaid and no
veil drawn. One supposes you use
the relations between men and
women to illustrate your point more
strongly. Is that so?"
One finds, on the contrary, that
this matter of sex relations is not
a side issue with DR.. Hibben, but
the very crux Of the question.
"Not at all, not at ALL" he re-
plies. "The relations between men
and women are fundamental. They
are at the bottom of all our troubles
to-day"
"And modern dress-the women's
dress-the modern dance, modern
music and modern manners-the
women's manners-are responsible
for our economic difficulties? You

men make money rapidly, they spend
it as fast and on foolish things.
many of them because they don't
know any other way to spend it.
That breeds lack of restraint, and
the women folk follow the men,"
THAT is So" admits DR.. Hibben.
SIN London, before the war;" one
continues, what were called night
clubs were very popular. Some Of
them were we'll known and their
reputation was not at all doubtful.
They reached the height of their
extravaganza in the summer of 1914.
just before the war began, and
everything that is seen in America
to-day was seen in London in 1914"
An American Problem
DR.. Hibben, however, maintains
his main theme
"Our problem in America" he
says, "is a moral problem. All our
troubles come down to loosening
of the moral fiber of the nation.
That is the reason for the general
unrest. It is the cause Of strikes
and the workman's failure to give
full work for full pay. 1t is what
makes the profiteers. 1t is what
makes Bolshevists. And at the bot
tom of it all is the loss Of reverence
for womanhood. When that goes
everything else goes with it. Some
thing is gone from men that moth
ing can replace.
"The women hold the cure. Men
can't have respect and reverence for
women who dress as our women do
to-day, talk with the freedom that
they do, act as they do and permit
the familiarities that they encour-
age. The women must find again
the place they have lost. The moth
ers must recover their balance, and
the young girls will follow the ex-
ample of their mothers. In few
days, since l preached that sermon,
| have received hundreds of letters
from all over the country agreeing
with what l said. We need a gen
eral moral Tightening up and when
we get that we will return to the
conditions Of ten years ago"
New-York tribune., 1920-06-27
All a Sex Problem

DR.. Hibben holds to his theory.
"The problem is a sex problem"
he says. "It rests on the relations
between men and women. When the
relations between men and women
are lax the moral fiber is loosened.
When lax relations between men and
women are characteristic of a ma
ton the whole moral tone of the
nation suffers, ard the nation de-
generates in every way. You can go
through the course of history and
you will find that the fall of every
great people has been due to moral
decadence and has begun in the re-
lations Of the sexes.
"My duties in the last year have
caused me to travel more than
$1,000 miles, and I have been to
every part of this country, and
everywhere | have seen the same
thing, West as we'll as East, North
and South. Everywhere you see the
same barbaric license in women's
dress, the familiarity in the man
ners and the barbaric license in the
dancing. The music, Of course, is
incidental. The barbaric dance re-
quires barbaric music. But the mod
crn dance is an orgy, and the women
expose themselves shamelcssiy and
invite a familiarity that is shock
ing and repulsive."
One assumes that DR.. Hibbcn has
heard the current story Of the young
girl who said, "a girl can't 20 any
where unless she can jazz" One
assumes that DR.. Hibbcn has heard
this and other stories and one finds
that he has been around quito a bit.
Indeed, one feels safe in assuming
that he knows Of the woman ut.

SO that DR.. Hibben is not alto
gether a pessimist.
"A good many of the mothers un-
dress considerably" one suggests.
The Modest Belle
"Yes,' he says. "They force the
girls to do it, and then they do il,
themselves. But their mothers
didn't do it. Their mothers would
have been Mortified at the sights of
to-day. And the young men would
Ike 1t better in the old way. At
our dance here the other night
there was one young girl simply and
modestly dressed, and they tell me
she was the belle of the ball.
The atmosphere that surrounds
a young girl, the mystery of her,
is a wonderful thing. 1t is enchant-
ing to men. But to-day there is no
mystery. There is no mystery in
her person or in her thoughts. There
is looseness in dress, in manners
and in talk, and when the mystery
goes the reverence goes and the
moral restraint disappears and the
whole moral character disintegrates.
The beginning is in the loss of rev.
erence for women and the end ;s
not to be foretold. The effects are
felt IN every line Of human activ-
ity.
What is needed in America is a
general moral tightening up, and
the place for it to begin is with
the relation of the sexes. 1t is for
the women to set the example. They
must become again modest and sim
cere, as their mothers mothers
were, and teach the men the chivalry
that is fast disappearing When
the American man regains his chiv-
airy the unrest that exists to-day
will disappear and we will return
TO the conditions of ten years ago"

condition of moral laxity at two
years ago." one asks. 'In the de-
sire of the mothers to marry off
their daughters?"
Yes" says DR.. Hibben.

Goddess of Folly Rules

an our social Arelations we are
weakly allowing ourselves to be
ruled by the Goddess of Folly,
slaves in her domain to the fashion
Of the hour. The modern dress, the
modern dance, the modern music
and modern manners of to-day are
symptoms that indicate that some
how in this age we have lost our
bearings and that the old values of
life, once so highly priced, have been
forgotten. There is danger of a
lessening if not a loss of the old-time
reverence for womanhood. There Is
no longer an aura of mystery about
the young woman Of to-day, a mys-
terry at once her defense and her
glory; and whenever in the history
Of the race this divine prerogative of
womanhood is lightly regarded or
recklessly scorned it has always
proved a symptom of decadence far
reaching and disastrous. Every age
Of moral and spiritual progress in
the history of any people has al
ways been an age of chivalry in
which womanhood has been not only
respected but revered. To-day our
Illusions seem to be gone; everything
is obvious; no word is left unsaid
and no veil undrawn."
That is surely a dark picture to
draw for young men about to have
