Baptist Girls Form
Anti-Dancing Society

The following communication under
the above caption by Frank E. Burk-
halter appeared in the Baptist and Re
Hector of last week. We desire to
pass it on with our commentator and
hearty endorsement:
1t will doubtless be matter of in
terest and encouragement to those
Southern Baptists who are waging a
fight against the immoral influences
of the modern dance to know that
young Baptist girl, Miss Virginia
Hamilton of Atlanta, has formed what
she called the Alpha Delta Sigma, or
the Anti-Dancing Society. Miss Ham
iltOn is the daughter of DIR. w. w.
Hamilton, superintendent of evangel-
ism for the Home Mission Board,
and is a student in Westhampton Col
lege, University of Richmond
Feeling that she did not want to
incur the dangers that lurked in the
dance hall, Miss Hamilton talked the
matter over with two of her girl
friends who felt as she did on the
/ matter, and the three resolved that
/ they would not dance and pledged
each other that they would remain
faithful to their pledge. Further con-
slderation of the matter led them to
believe that possibly other young wo-
men felt as they did on the question
OF dancing and that possibly these
three ought to give others some en-
enlargement to take a similar pledge
not to indulge in the dance The re-
suit was the organization of the An
: Enhancing Society, which one becomes
member of by signing the following
pledge:
Promising to abstain from dancing
myself and to help in discouraging
dancing by others, hereby apply for
membership in the Alpha Delta Sig
ma"
On the back of the pledge cards are
prominently displayed the following
five Bible principles:

which | see is enslaving me. / Cor.
2. will engage only in that which

with practically no organization or

she hopes during the summer vaca-

IN LOVING MEMORY

Hattie Matthews was born August
20, 1884, died April 13, 1921, making
her stay here on earth So years, z
months and "a days. She professed
faith in Christ about Is years ago,
joined the church at Mt. Tabor, but
was never baptized. She was the
daughter of John NJ Vance, was mar
ried to Joe Matthews July 20, 1902
To this union were born seven chill
dren, all of whom survive her She
was a good wife and mother and very
thoughtful of her family. She said
in her last days that she was not
afraid to die but would be glad to get
out of her sufferings. She leaves a
husband and seven children, seven
sisters and four brothers to mourn
their loss. But their loss is her eter-
nal gain. She requested the songs,
"He Will Carry Us Safely Home
and MAKE 1t Right With God" to be
sung at her funeral. She will be sad
ly missed in her home.
She was buried at the E. L. Mat

crown of glory to any child. They
should be taught to be kind and cour-
teous to all and, especially, respect

Home is the best place on earth for
our children. 1t is a child's peaceful
paradise. There is no place like home
though it be so humble, but the child
may not be conscious of the fact.
There is no circle like that which is
composed of father, mother, brothers
and sisters, where love reigns in every
heart and joy fills every soul. Chill
dren should be taught to appreciate
and love their homes and we should
strive to make them happier with the
sweetest libation of our own fragrant
love and boundless gratitude

X. of C.'s Ask Square Deal For Jews
(St. Adams Messenger

James A. Flaherty, supreme knight
of the Knights of Columbus speaks
profound truth when he declares that
IAN attack on one religion or race, IN
the United States may easily develop
into an attack on any religion and any
race" He has instructed the 2,2Oo
lecturers of his organization to use
their influence against anti-Semitism.
Racial and religious tolerance rs an
American principle. If it is to be
preserved, there can be no exceptions.
Once one exception is made, then
there is no end to it and divisions and
strife become the natural consequence;
There are good Protestants and bad
Protestants: good Catholics and bad
Catholics; good Jews and bad Jews;
good Americans and bad Americans; ;
good Irishmen and bad Irishmen-an!d
the list can be heightened until all
people and all religions are included
A man is not good or bad because ne
belongs to any given race or profess
es any given religion, per Sc. There
fore it is unjust and unAmerican to
levy class war against any religious
or theological group.

Prohibition And Trade.
(Rrattleboro Phoenix)

eff we make good with prohibition
and we will make good-England
will go bone-dfy within ten years,
says "Pussyfoot" Johnson. "Some OF
their biggest men over there have told
me that England cannot compete IN
the commercial world with dry Amer
ica"
In that last sentence is much food
for thought. The line of reasoning 1T
suggests is not new, but it has been
ignored in recent discussions raging
over the more or less defunct body OF
the Demon Rum. 1t is a timely remind
er that the Industrial efficiency urged
in the prohibition campaign days as
a valid business reason for abo1shlng
the LIQUOR traffic is real thing, and
warning of how big figure sobriety
is going to act in future competition
for world trade.
Those English business men are
doubtless right about it. 1t stands to
reason that just as one mechanic or
one Office manager can do more ef-
fective work sober than he can with
alcohol in his system, so can whole
industry or whole industrial nation,
but many people have never made this
extended application of familiar
truth.
Herein lies what may be the de-
termining factor in the great period
of international business rivalry now
dawning. A sober America can GER
tainly hold her own.

No Road Debt, Any Way.
(Rutland Herald.)

Vermonters who may be inclined 10
"kick" about the amount OF perma-
nent road work planned for this sea-
son are invited to consider the case
of New Hampshire, with its much
touted system of hard surfaced ROADS
and not a dollar to spend this year
for new construction.
That is to say, every dollar which
New Hampshire is able to raise goes
into maintaining new roads. Incl
dentally it develops that New lamp
shire is spending as much for mann
tanning asphalt roads alone as it for
merly spent for construction seven
years ago.
Vermont has made some mistakes,
wasted lot Of money, mixed politics
with it's gravel, permitted bad meth,
DDS, ETC., but Vermont has no road
debt and, outside of the "bad weeks
of spring, has ordinarily fairly pass
able, good and some excellent roads.
One way and another, Vermont has
made some road progress, especially
during the past few years, or as soon
thereafter as labor and material con-
ditions touched anything of a reason

How Carbon Black Is Made.

How is carbon black made? BY
burning oil or natural gas. But the
carbon obtained from gas is much
blacker and better than the carbon
from Oil. .
Gas burners are erected underneath
steel channels that move back and
forth. The carbon is deposited on
these channels, but it is constantly
scraped off by their movement against
each other. Only 1.5 per cent Of the
total carbon in the gas is recovered in
the form of black; thus the waste of
gas is enormous. Scientists are now
trying to produce carbon from gas by
mixing it with other gases without
necessitating combustion. - Popular
Science Monthly.

Two teams in the central part of
the state recently collfded in the
night, because neither was carrying
a light, resulting in runaway and
such injury to one horse that the an
imal had to be killed. Why will so
many team owners persist in driving
without a light as the law provides
thus endangering themselves and
their property as well as the lives and
property of others? From the above
instance it would appear that not all
the danger comes from automobile
traffic. One has to drive but little
in this part of Vermont at night to
learn that probably one half the horse
drawn vehicles are driven contrary
to law because lacking a light.
