HOW WOMEN ARE
BooTLEGGlNG LIQUOR

Philadelphia, Sept. 17-Hdndreds
of women carrying pillows under their
arms have arounsed the curiosity Of
special officers at Broad street sta
tion, particularly during the heavy
rush of traffic over the week-ends.
Special officers have wondered what
use the pillows were for, especially
when the women were burdened in
most instances with travelling bags
and suit cases. Yesterday the secret
leaked" out, much to the embarrass-
ment of the owner and laughter of q
large crowd of travellers. A quart
bottle of whiskey, carefully tucked
away in "feathery nest" slipped
from one of the pillows and crashed
to the floor.
Special officers say hundreds Of pill
lows are spied daily, carried mostly
by women, in their latest method Of
bootlegging liquor to various resorts
for weekend parties.

Women In the Political Party
Conventions
(Lenna Lowe Yost)

Woman, the new element in the
conventions, participated with credit
to herself and her country. There
were in the convention women young,
middle aged, and some up in years
all keenly alert. The white ribbon
cleaned on the dresses of many.
Not only were they there as elected
delegates but were ushered into the
sanctity OF party secrets and sat In
their respective delegations on a
plane of equality. They were heard
on the floor of the conventions max
ling nominations and seconding
speeches, arguing parliamentary ques-
tions, offering resolutions and debat-
ing them. We saw woman for the
first time in the history of political
Iparty conventions presiding, temper
arily, and by the courtesy this first
time, but bringing to order the great
multitude just like any regularly or
dained' chairman.
Long time prejudice melted away
as the women made records on both
breyity and character of speech. Mas
culine apprehension was disarmed.
1t was woman who made the
shortest speech. She came forward
on the platform and in so many words
seconded the nomination OF a presi-
Dental candidate and promptly moved
away, leaving a surprised but joyous
audience pinching itself to see If it
had heard Alright.
l. The women without exception were
! brief and to the point. One CORE
spondent declared that If the women
n had been solely In charge of the pro-
II ceedings there would hav been a NOM
n ination by dinnr time, OF the fourth
day and by midnight they would have
: been packed and on their way home
Is to the children. e
e The women had something vital to
J. say-their theme was living things,
homes, people, country. They did
not dwell so much on political con
- Germs. but on human concerns. II
'r was not the welfare of the party SO
n much as human Welfare hat they
/. urged. It was an inspiring demon
IS stration of what women may do, for
5, home and country through politica
lparties.

METHODISTS INDIGNANT
BECAUSE NEW DANCE
NAMED FOR WESLEY

New York, Sept. IS. All efforts to-
remove the Methodist ban on dancing
which recently eliminated in the
naming of slow minute type OF dance
the Wesleyan, in honor of John Wes-
ley, founder of Methodism, were char
acterized as "a Shiny, silly, sensuous
stream of normal infamy" by the Rev
DR., John Roach Straton, pastor of
Calvary Baptist church.
He predicted that the dance in
practice would soon be c; led the
Wesleyan Wiggle" and lead to new
series of dances something like the
Episcopal Embrace the Congrega-
tional Canter," and the John the Bap-
t'st Bounce.
ITO name modern Dance said
Dr., Straton. with it's sensuous and
shameful heredity, coming as 1t does
through the tango and the shimmy-
shake and other denominations that
have done so much to destroy the
moral ideals of the people--to name
a dance after holy man, is nothing
short of an outrage on decency and a
distinct insult to the entire Christian
world.
The American National Association
! O. Dancing Masters in convention
here last week introduced the Wesley.

asking that the Methodist church re-
move its ban on dancing.

SMOKERS LOST
GAME YESTERDAY
AT JACKSONVILLE

Jacksonville, Sept 17-The Tampa
Smokers found the veteran Larry
Cheney an unsolvable puzzle at South
Side Park this afternoon, and the
Florida State League champions met
their third defeat of the Southeastern
championship series, the final score
being to 0.
The series now stands: Columbia,
won three, lost one; Tampa, won one,
lost three. One game-at Orlando
yesterday-was tie. II Columbia
wins the game here tomorrow the Sc
ries will be at an end.
The Corners did not find Alvarez in
clined to yield many hits either, but
they managed to unlimber sufficient
artillery in the third, fourth and
eighth innings, which, combined with
brace of Tampa misplays. accounted
for the quartet of runs.
Those of the fans who might have
figured that 1919 saw the total eclipse
of Cheney proved poor first guessers
The famous Cubs-Dodgers-Phillies
spit -baller was in rare form and he
had the Iidian sign on Floridaian'
from the opening gong to the finish
There are still any number of "frs
class" hurlers in the big show whit
are not in Larry's class The old spit
ter was breaking perfectly today, AM
the veteran gave the fans a real ex
hibition of high calibre fiinging.
