DECLARES JAZZ GENESIS
OF AMERICAN MUSIC

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 2S.-Jazz
must be taken seriously-because 1t
is the genesis of American musical
expression. 1t has taken such grip
on the great mass Of people that not
one, not even a gifted musician, can
afford to scoff at it. Its popularity
must be natural. So believes Osbourne
McConathy, president Of the Music
Teachers National Association, which
opened its forty-third annual conven-
ton here today
while in itself vulgar, sensuous,
elemental, even savage at times, Jazz
is the attempt at musical expression
of the melting pot of America" said
Mr.. McConathy. "Given time, 1t will
develop into a form Of national com.
position that will vie with the great
French and German ideals"
Three hundred delegates from all
parts OF the United States are In
attendance.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-New Year
resolution for teen" age girls:
Don't kiss any man unless you
are engaged to him and not often
thenr'
Mrs. B. c. Howell, lecturer on
morals and a delegate to the Inter
national Purity Congress, in session
here, urges the American girl to turn
over a new leaf, reassert her ira
ditional right to chivalrous treat
ment in the hands of her masculine
friends, and get back to the moral
code Of 1914.
"Spooning," she said in an inter.
view TODAY, never has been so in
discriminare-never has had such
disastrous results to the morals of
the girls In the teen age.
"I know. For fifteen years I have
been making talks to grammar and
high school girls, hearing their
stories-stories they wouldn't tell
their own mothers. The girls say
the men expect to be kissed; most
girls think IL is all right; they say,
every girl does it. Is 1t any won
der that the average age OF girls
admitted to the Florence Crittenton
missions has dropped in ten years
from the age Of twenty-six to six.

Blame jazz dancing, the seductive

the superintendent OF the fnterna-
tional reform bureau. THE Jazz
palaces are nothing more than cess

movies are sucking the souls out OF
our girls, and the bedrooms on
wheels are carrying them over the

DR.. Crafts heartily agreed with the
suggestion of J. Louis Guyon, Chi
cago dancing master, who told the
delegates that when they go back

upon them to register loud com

matte falsehoods.
France knows that Notifications
are merely protective armaments,
not aggressive armaments, and that
submarines are protective and defen-
sive armaments, and when England
and Japan want to deny to other
nations the right to build fortifica-
tions and submarines they want to
deny to other nations the right to
protect themselves whenever Eng
land and Japan in secret alliance
shall decide to dominate not only the
seas but the lands of the world as
well.
France knows that tho interna-
tional bankers who run our Govern.
ment are not really international
bankers, but British bankers-that
they were acknowledged and AC-
CREDITED agents Of England dur
ing the war, and that they are actual
agents Of England today, although
not openly acknowledged no1 pub
licly accredited
France knows that tho various
proposals Of America at the confer.
ence are really the proposals Of Eng.
land made through the international
bankers and communicated by the
international bankers to tho states
mon in Washington, whom they own
and operate and include among their
tangible assets when they balance
their books every night.
France knows that whatever is to
be done at the conclave each day is
decided upon by Root and Balfour
in private conference every previous
night, and that whatever Mr.. Bal
four decides in the interest of Eng
land and Mr.. Root decides in the in
terest Of the international bankers
our super statesmen advance next
day as the proposals of America
and that then these proposals, by
way of camouflage and strategy, are
vigorously opposed by Japan, and,
after much apparent deliberation
and pretended hesitation, are reluc-
family approved by England.
France knows that there is no use
of her remaining at a conference
where England runs Japan through
a secret alliance and where Eng.
land runs the United States through
the international bankers, and where
England, therefore, has three votes
to Frances one.
$50 BRAND preserves his elf-respect
and the prestige of his nation by re-
turning to France and by holding
out in his own fine, brave country
for the rights and liberties of his pa
triotic people.
France knows, finally, and we our
selves are beginning to know, that
America is getting into the doormat
class as far as England is concerned,
and that there appear to be, after
all, some reasons and uses for the
abundant whiskers of our excelsior
stuffed statesmen, because appended
to almost every perfect doormat
there is an especially bristly brush
box upon which particularly impor-
tant and circumspect visitors give
their feet an additional wipe before
standing proudly upon the doormat
and haughtily condescending to enter
the humble premises. ...
And rest assured, good, upstand-
ing Americans-those of you who
are left-that wherever politics has
provided a national doorlnat and
nature has created a humn foot
wiper, able and arrogant John Bull
takes full advantage Of the loppor-
tunities they afford.

"NICKY" ARNSTEIN AGAIN MISSING
GOOD FOR PATRIOTIC,
INDEPENDENT FRANCE
(Reprinted From Yesterdays NelD York AmericanD

(Reprinted From Yeste
IIURRAH for France!
III Thank God there is one ma
ton which Great Britain does
not wholly dominate and whose gov
ernment she does not entirely control
in her own selfish interests.
Three cheers for courageous, indie
pendent, self respecting little France,
with population less than half OF
ours and territory less than a fifth
of ours, but with a spirit as indomi-
table, as inspiring, as glorious as the
great American spirit of ours
USED TO BE.
Good for France, whose represent
atives are not marionettes worked on
the financial wires of the interna-
tional bankers, but genuine, patri-
otic statesmen, who think more of
their country and of their people
than they do Of all the campaign con-
tributions the international bankers
have provided in the past or have
promised to provide in the future.
Vive la France! May she live long
among nations and may her valor
and her love Of liberty and her pa
triotism and her shrewd sound sense
increase as these essential qualities
in other once independent nations
diminish, so that the world shall not
altogether become q doormat for
Great Britain to wipe her feet upon.
France knows England, but we
although we have had two wars with
her, although she has swept our
merchant marine off the seas, al
though she tried to destroy us dur
ing our Civil War, when we were
struggling for very existence; al
though she has allied herself with
our enemies and then lied about it
and then been proved to have lied
about it-WE do not know her, and,
if we depend upon our innocent, gul-
ible statesmen, never will know her.
France knows that there is not
any suggestion of genuine disarma-
ment at the present conference, nor
has there been, nor will there be.
There is only talk of other nations
than England ceasing to arm in
way which might be effective against
England and which might threaten
England's complete supremacy on the
seas. There is only talk of those
other nations "disarming" in way
to make protection of their coasts
and their possessions impossible and
resistance to attack ineffective in
case England should at any time de-
sire to discipline those nations.
France knows that England pos
sesses twice or three times the avail
able fleet O. any other nation under
the propos 1 proportion of naval al
lotment, ecause England has ten
times the merchant marine of any
other nation and because she so
builds and subsidies and utilizes
her merchant marine as to give her
stupendous forces in ships and men
the moment war is declared and her
merchant ships are transformed into
battle cruisers.
France knows, too, that the
strength of the actual battle fleet of
England is the strength of the battle
fleets of England and Japan COM
bined-that England has always put
the lie in alliance, that she lied be-
fore about her secret alliance with
Japan, but that the alliance did ex-
ist and was proved to exist and that
a secret separate alliance does NOW
exist between England and Japan,

Pass Christian Beacon.
The remark is frequently made
that our farmer friends ought to
grow more stuff, which is applicable
IN many instances. But there is an
other side to this matter. and that
is our town folks ought to do more
buying from our country friends.
1t is all right to urge the truckster
to increase his crops and acreage,
but the better plan would be to en-
courage HIM by purchasing the home
grown products in preference to the
imported ones. Every town or city
surrounded by prosperous. thriving
country population is certain to adj
vance, but it is not fair to the rural
to urge them to produce
crops for the market and then turn
them down to buy those grown else
where.
