.DR.STRAT0N SCORES
UNDRESS Of WOMEN
Their Gowns Are Direct and
DisgracefuI Appeal to Sex,
He Asserts.

NEW YORK, April 1s.-Modern
styles in women's dress were criti-
cised by the Rev. DR.. John Roach
Straton in a sermon last night at
Calvary Baptist Church. He read ex-
tracts from letters. received as the
result of his efforts to expose vice
conditions. After reading one letter.
DIR. Stratton said:
"The greatest factor which tends to
increase looseness between the sexes
and to produce vice is women's dress.
Take for example this statement from
a man who says:
lone OF the immediate causes for
the condition you describe will be
found in the respectable hotels.
MAKE your crusades there and
attack the conditions your investiga-
tions disclose. You will be amazed
at the shameless dress of fashionable
women"
Dr. Straton then read letter from
an old-timc mother and wife of our
city on obstructive forces" She
wrote:
"Why not start at the source of
all this wickedness? From whom do
the lower classes take their ideas?
Why it's the upper class. Have you
noticed the vulgarity of their even

when my daughters married they
wore high-necked, long -sleeved
dresses as becomes a modest bride.
How a real tmother can allow her
daughters to display the charms of
their young bodies, I cannot under
stand. The wealthy clad themselves
immodestly and dance in theaters for
charity when they should take the
money from their pockets, and thus
protect their young daughters. All
this has a demoralizing effect upon
the society of our country" DR..
Straton continued:
The greatest evil in modern styles
is the fact that the present tendency
toward undress is so obviously for
the purpose OF directing attention to
the sex idea. 1t is fred at us from
every magazine. rubbed all over us
at the moving picture shows and the
aters. and fairly screams at us from
the pages of novels.
When women complain of double
standard of morals why can't they
be consistent and not unconsciously
foster by their mode of dressing and
their way of dancing the very double
standard of morals which they so
righteously dcnounce?"

ADVOCATED BY CHEMIST

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. April ia new
fuel fluid of nearly double the heat
value per unit of either coal or fuel
oil and, hence particularly valuable
as a fuel for steamships and battle-
ships, giving them a wider cruising
radius. was described in a paper of
Jerome Alexander, a New York chem
ist, which was read to the American
Chemical Society late yesterday by DR..
Harry n. Holmes of Oberlin College,
chairman of the National Colloid Re-
search Council.
The paper declared that the new
fuel utilizes coal waste and cheap
tars, and that the addition of a GER

kept secret. results in a fuel which
combines the valuable qualities for
heating OF both oil and coal. Peat.

BOSTON. April 19.-Lanterns hung
from the steeple of the Old North
Church by Miss Pauline Revere, a
great-great-grandda of the
Revolutionary war hero, shone
throughout the night as did the ia.
nous lanterns 145 years ago.
This morning Sergt. Harry Bishop,
OF the First Troop Cavalry, NJ. S. c.,
dressed in the costume of Paul Revere,
set out from the Charlcstown shore
of the Charles river. AS he proceeded
through "MiddleseX village and
farm" he was accompanied by a cav
airy escort, and patriotic exercises
were held at every community.
Meanwhile, a forgotten character in
history came to light. Capt. Fred
Zimmerman impersonated William
Dawes, who shared with Paul Revere
the daring and dangerous enterprise
of warning the farms of the coming
of the British red coats. Dawes was
sent from North square to Lexington
via Roxbury, Brookline, and Cam
bridge. Zimmerman followed that
route today.
