Stop Marrying Men
w hO Are Drunk

New York, Dec. 23.-Actresses
must stop getting sons of rich men
drunk and marrying them before
they regain their senses. DR.. Will
liam F. Crafts of Washington, head
of the International Reform Bureau,
is after chorus girls and such who
are given to this practice. He aims
to have congress enact law to pro-
hibit marriages for 80 days after
the announcement of an engagement
to curb the evil.
DR.. Crafts included this plan in a
program he mapped out for man
kinds betterment in an address to a
large group of Methodist ministers in
the chapel of the Methodist Book
concern, $50 Fifth avenue. it was
learned today. Among other things,
he asserted, there has been an in
crease in profanity, drinking, gambl-
ing, Sabbath breaking, pugilfsm,
brutal sports and murder.
DR.. Crafts asserted the spread OF
lawlessness was not due to prohibi-
ton, but to the reckless spirit that
follows war. He declared that the
assertion made by moving picture in
terests that 81 men in New York
who had voted for the movie censor.
ship have been politically defeated
was the reason, and declared his or
ganization would fight these inter
ests to finish.

SALVATION ARMY
PLANS YULE JOY
ARRANGEMENTS MADE in PRIN-
CIPAL CITES FOR AID TO
THE NEEDY

Pierre, Dec. 23.-The Salvation
Army will bring cheer to the hearts
of more than $500 persons through
out South Dakota at Christmas time,
according to reports from the vari-
Gus commanders in the several cities
where the Army is established in this
state. In nearly all cities the work
of relief will be double that of a
year ago. In the neighborhood of
500 baskets containing Christmas
dinner for five persons will be dis
tributed, paid for out of funds col
lected in the familiar Army kettles.
AS a rule people are just as gen
erous this season as they were a year
ago, the reports indicate. In few
instances depressed financial condi-
tions have been reflected by a slight
curtailment of donations, but this
may be changed as the day ap-
proaches.
In Huron the Army will distribute
about the same number of baskets
as were put out year ago, Captain
o. G. Asserude, officer in charge re-
ports.
Mrs. Jean r. Millinson, ensign ir
charge of the Aberdeen branch re-
ports that the relief work there this
winter Is double what 1t was yeal
ago and that the Army will distribute
close to 100 dinner baskets against
so last year.
Watertown distributed AZ baskets
at Thanksgiving time, in its firs, I'M
dertaking of this kind, according Ic
Captain HI. S. Veach. More than
double that number will be required
at Christmas in the estimation oi
Captain Veach.
At Mitchell the Army will distri-
butte at least SO and possibly more
baskets if donations will permit, En-
sign e. Sherping reports, Dona-
tions there have not come up to the
past this season, according to the Of
ficer, but the present cold snap may
possibly impress the need of liberal
ity on the public.
Captain Ernest Orchard, at Sioux
Falls. is faced with the largest task
More than $50 cases have been In
vestigated and found in need of out
side help. Efforts will be made to
furnish each OF these families with q
bushel basket full of provisions 9th

the officers will be taken under OBJ.
