WHO IS To BLAME
FOR JAZZ DANCING?

NEW YORK, Sept. lit is al.
most impossible to find out who is
to blame for jazz dancing.
Really this is a question which
many consider by no means incon-
sequential. At first thought, one
might pin the responsibility on the
dancing teachers, but if you ask
shoulders in rhythmic manner and
plead not guilty. It's the fault of
the composers. they will tell you
passing the buck in double-quick
time.
The denial Of the composers is
sharp, their contradiction fiat and
the explanation of the why of jazz
wha tit wants.
Seemingly the public is divided in
it's opinion on this big question.
Some say the younger generation is to
blame. Jazz dancing and jazz music
are, to repeat theoir own words, just
exactly what one might expe when
the youth of land gads about in
sporty automobiles, stimulates con-
tempt for Mrs. Grundy's ideas and
shows a determination to do every
thing in fast and snappy way.
Others maintain that Jazz is a
natural reaction to Victorian Gus
toms. A few CT their neighbors, al
most abandoning hope. resign them
selves to the thought that that some
thing called the spirit of the age is
really the reason for fitful dancing
styles, expressing wonder the while
as to just what this little old world
is coming to.
The manner in which the dancing
instructors put the blame on the
chaps who create tunes is exemplified
by f, w. Way. president of the
A az if1S1r nf1t, TN l.

Test Case May Result
In Many Suits Against
Farmers of Georgia

Suits to recover nearly s1,20O,O00
from Georgia farmers for alleged
breach of contracts in fertilizer sales
will be filed if a test case which has
been carried to the state court of ap-
peals is successful, according to a
statement made in Atlanta Saturday
by Senator Alvin Golucke, of CraW-
fordville, who is one of the attorneys
in the test proceeding.
The test case, Senator Golucke
said. is docketed on the court of APP
peals record as Smith VS.. Battle, and
is set for hearing at the October
term. He said the suits to follow
would be instituted on the ground
that the farmer defendants signed
contracts in 1920 for large shipments
Of nitrate soda for delivery this year
at $S4 a ton, f. o. b. port, and then
refused to accept it when the price
dropped to $50 ton.
In many instances, Senator Golucke
declared, suits have already been
started. A majority Of the defendants
reside in middle Georgia, where fer
tilizer agents were especially active
in 1920 he said.

ATTEMPT TOK|DNAP
EVELYN THAW FAILS

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-What may
have been an attempt to kidnap Eve
lyn Nesbit Thaw, former wife of
Harry K. Tbaw, was frustrated early
today by the police.
The former Mrs. Thaw, who is
now known as Miss Nesbit, was in
her apartment on the third floor of
the building where she runs a tea
room about $3.50 a. m. when she
heard men talking in the hall out
side, according to the police,
She opened the door and three
men attempted to seize her Miss
Nesbit screamed: Fire" She kept on
screaming so loudly that the three
men fled.
Patroiman Michael Mcmahon heard
the cries and ran up to the building
just as the three men jumped into
a taxi that was standing at the curb
with it's motor running, and drove
rapidly away.
Miss Nesbit, according to police,
then came down stairs wearing an
overcoat over her night gown anG
told the policeman what had hap
uened. He decided to remain on guard
evidently thinking the coast was
clear, returned in the taxicab. Nc
Mahon accosted them and they at
tackled him. Mcmahon blew his whis-
tie for help and other patrolmen ar
rived.
After a fight the three men were
arrested. They gave the names Of
Joseph Daily, John Wardmer and
James Dunn.
Miss NesDit came down and had
lcok at the prisoners. Police said
she pointed out DAILY as the, man
who first attempted to seize her.
Miss Nesbit said she would prose
cute the men on charge of dis
orderly conduct, and would appear
against them in court today.
A patroIman was left on guard at
her apartment for the remainder Of
the night.
It was believed the attempt to
Sc re Miss Nesbit was made by per-
sons who had kept close watch on
her, as she was alone in her apart
ment, her son, Russell Thaw. 10, be-
ing away on a visit.
