DANCE, DRESS AND THE DEVIL
What Religious Papers Have to Say
About Present Tendency.

The Literary Digest of May 21st has
an Illuminating article on dancing and
drcsa, particularly as related to wo-
men, and most particularly young wo-
men.
The extracts used by The Literary
Digest are taken chiefly. and impair
tally, from religious papers.
These papers. almost without cXcep-
ton, sound a note of alarm and insist
very positively there is q MANAGE to
the morals of the people Of this coun-
try in the present fashions Of dress.
The American Church, an Episco.
pal monthly published in New York is
disposed to be little facetious in its
comments. Admitting that some of
the most extreme fashions are rather
indecent, it advises moral suasion
where we cam; but adds, "after all,
there is really no cause for panic" re-
marking that in any event our
(their) most formidable ally is the
Northern winter" winding UP with
this prayer. God help those who live
at the South"
The 'southern churchman of Rich
mond, Va. quotes an unnamed ,obser-
YER Of events who believes there
never was time when more men
were living straight than today and
never time when more women were
going to the devil.
The consensus Of opinion among
the church papers is very decidedly
opposed to the modern dance and the
modern fashions in dress. AS to the
modern dance, this deponent quit
dancing before the coming in of the
fox trot and the shimmy and the
grizzly bear hug, and other new meth
ods Of tripping the light fantastic toe
and has not seen much dancing. for
some decides; but, taking the eXper-
ience and observations-especially the
observations-of his younger\ friends
there's a difference" and there's
heap more to be seen at a dance now
than there used to be.
AS, for church dress. home dress and
street dress, he is bound to say tina,
the fashions are. many of them, ex-
treme-sorre are extremely eXtrerI
and totally unfit for street wear-tc
say the least-vcrging very close al
times on immodest exposure.
AS regards both the dance and the
fashion in dress, there is urgent neeo
for reform. The reform must come
If it come at all, from the mothers
whose authority, should be sustained
if need be, by the fathers. Preaching
at the offenders is not going to dc
them any good.

Rear Admiral William S. Sims, U.

"They are Americans when they
want money, but Sim Feiners when

"The simple truth of it Is that they

they place in the way of the most eff
fective operation Of the Allied naval
forces during the war.
They are like zebras either black
horses with white stripes or white

CITY OF PUEBLO
Facts About Victim Of Arkansas River
Flood.

Pueblo is a city Of 42,90S inhabi-
tants, according to the figures Of the
1920 census, and Is situated at the
conjunction of Fountain creek with
the Arkansas river. The city is divid-
ed into two parts by the Arkansas
and Fountain creek,..a tributary
about rs miles: long, comes boiling
down through mountain canyon and
empties into the; larger stream :vir-
tually in the heart of the city. -

creek. Rock creek, Chico; Black Squir-

Charles river, Greenhorn river-these
are few of the tributaries of the Ar
kansas within a radius Of rs miles of
Pueblo. Pueblo itself is about 4,665
feet above sea level.
Arkansas a Treaeherous Stream.
Approximately 100 miles to the west
of Pueblo is the continental divide
and on the eastern slope this net work
of streams is multiplied into countless
nyriads of rough waite: courses hurry
rying into the Arkansas. Even in
times of ordinary rainfall and melting

Pueblo twas swept by a flood on
May. 81. 1894. when Fountain creek
was swollen. to a torrent by a down
fall of rain and series of cloudbursts
all along the eastern slope of the con-
!inental divide. According to the news
paper reports printed on June 2, 1894,
the food of q years ago was similar
to that reported from Colorado yes
terday.
Driving Power Of River.
" An indication of the tremendous
force and power Of the Arkansas may
be gained from the fact that its Royal
Gorge, situated about 40 miles west
by northwest of Pueblo, between
Canon City and Parkdale. Is consider
ed one Of the continents greatest ex-
amplcs Of the driving power of riv-
er. In comparatively short time in
geological history the river has torn
down a gap in the solid granite more
than ,2,6Ob feet for a distance of lit
tie more than eight miles.
Pueblo itself is the county seat of
Pueblo county; and second city in the
state, and Is about 120 miles south
cast of Denver and about Is: miles
from Colorado Springs, which lies be-
tween tho two cities: The large ma
