THE ROOT OF EVIL

The Episcopalian clergy OF Chicago.
considering ways and means ito clean up
dancing" has decided that the strategic
policy Is to attack 1t indirectly by gong
after the jazz music. People don't dance
indecently to good musics' they explain.
Clergymen and other citizens elsewhere
who are interested In moral reform agree
that jazz is the root Of the modern dancing
evil.
1t may be questioned By qulbbcr
whether people really go In for silly and
corrupt dances because the jazz music Is
played or whether the jazz music is played
and danced to because Stiffness and cor
ruptiou are already in their hearts. 1t will
be admitted. however, that jazz at best aids
and abets any such disposition, and offers
scandalously easy outlet for savage or de-
cadent emotions. Wherefore, let the re-
formers turn their guns against jazz, by all
means.
It deserves to die the death not only be-
cause Of the terpslchorean revels 1t induces
but because of what 1t is itself. A promin.
ent clergyman calls jazz "the profanity of
music" 1t is that, and more. 1t is musical
perversion and ahomInatlon, mingling OF
barbaric rhythm, mockery, tangled melody
and offensive noises It ministers to per-
verified sense OF music and It tends to
destroy a natural sense of music, It 1angles
nerves and promotes insanity. 1t is music
such as might come from a group Of the
Congo musicians IN a madhouse. When 1t
is gone-and everything silly, evil or dis
eased goes sooner or later-thc world will
get along very cheerfully without 1t.

agreement between its own opinions and those of The
Times upon the proper treatment for natural parks like

no little pleasure which is recalled pleasantly today be-

The Lover Query
By Berton Bralev

ny DGtVH LIutSy
HERE'S many a question Of the day
That gives us something to fret about
Like when Is Germany going to pay?"
And, How are the Bolshevists coming out?"
Who willsthe pennant winners be?"
.swill Dempsey cling to the fighting CROWN"
But the only question that bothers ma
g. when are you coming back to town."
ThePolish question perplexes some.
The Einstein theory's harder still,
Thelabor question still makes us glum,
The japanese problem has thrill;
nut the only question that 1 debate.
The only thought that is in my ken,
g Dear, f'm lonely why must 1 wait?
When arety coming back again?"
stlli the city is all aswir
With floods OF people; yet, to my sight,
Without the presence Of one small girl
The place is empty, deserted quite;
There's nothing seem to want to do,
gaze at life with a sullen frown;
And all think of the whole day through
When arc. you coming back to town."

WEATHER WONDERFUL, BUT
NOT CONDUCIVE TO HEAL Til

Tho spring-likc weather that Pu-
cbloans have been enjoying during the
past month is not conducive to the
best OF health. declares DR.. w. Il.
Buck, city physician. Altho the
weather has been comfortable to the
body. it has caused many persons to
suffer from continuous colds, it is
said.
Another bad influence good wealth
or has on tho health of persons in
the winter time is that 1t promotes
contagion by keeping catching" di-
seascs in the slight form. People
have slight forms of dipthcria. scar
lot fever or even smallpox. They do
not feel any terribly i'll cffccts-and
continue to go to their business or
send thoir children to school. with
the result that diptheria and scarlet
fever is spread among a great num-
bcr of people.

DR.. W. F.. Buck explained yestcr-
day afternoon that tho abnormally
high number of contagious diseases
was not only peculiar to Pueblo. but
to all cities in tho United States.
Ho declares that tho state of af-
fairs Is n result of the war and is
purely a postwar condition. The
germs of the disease arc being un-
knowingly carried by ex-service men.
When tho war broke out tho
youth of our country assembled in
ton carried with them to the can
tonments disease peculiar to their
own particular section" said DR.
Buck.
when the war was over they re-
turned to their homes after having
mingled with men bearing germs oil
every known disease. This vas an un-
.lvoidable condition-uot due to per
sonal uncleanliness nor to neglect OF
army medical corps. OF course tho
germs wcro spread. after they re-
turned to their homes"
Since the diseases that arc now
being contracted in Pueblo are only
slight. parents permit their children
to go to school whom they arc no,
feeling well. or when somc member
of the family is feeling i'll. In many
cases they are suffering from a con-
taEious disease.
According to officers in tho city
health department a safe way tc
combat contagion is to SOC doctor

sickness. no matter how slight. tha
ono is not absolutely acquainted with

This Is an abnormal condition. ac-

each case is only slight--thc patient
