While Cleveland Reformers Fret Over the Marked Decline in Terpsichorean Morals, a New Step Makes Its Debut.

Cleveland, O.. Sept. 2o-'1ToddIe: to walk with short, tottering steps, as a define the freak dance which has set the reformers of the cotfatry agog.
 Noahs definition certainly sounds innocent enough. But in the vocab- ulary of the reformer the word to toddle' is synonomous with such de- pressing expressions as: immoral, vulgar and disgracefu1
 Jazz music is the root of the tod dle evil, a we1l-known character danc- ing master claims. He shakes his head and signs for the good old days of Sousa two-steps and Strauf waltzeS.
 Dancing today has become a lost art,'' he dep1ores. Dincing masters and dance-han proprietors join in the chorus.
 In e-what-is-this-w world coming-to tone, the reformers whis- per to you about the "corset check room" and other unintentionable and dismal things that are bringing about the downfall of this generation.
 Therefore they cry. "Unclean," and set about the work of seeng to it that the toddlers cease to toddle.
 Maybe they're right: It may be of dance halls in many Ohio cities have issued the edict: ''The toddle shall not be tolerated."

 Do the toddlers list to this din around them? Not to any noticeable extent. And while the saxaphone whines the latest synocpations of Gene Buck, Bud de Sylva and the rest, the young things continue to start1e the ''conscientious objectors'' by improvising weird, rhythmic, breath-taking steps with amazing skill.
 Dancing may have become a lost art says one young coed, an ardent exponent of the modern method, "but our dances aren't the tedious, 'one- two-three affairs folks used to exc cute in the name of dancing.'' She seemed to voice the views of the ma jority of Americas f1appers.
 With hint of Scorn the happel paints a picture of the old-fashione6 waftzer and two-stepper, founderins hopelessly around a dance floor counting the steps with scientific eX. actness- Then she calls your atten' ton to the free, graceful movement: of the present-day gyrations and with an insouciant shrug. asks you tC take your choice
 But even if the todd1e is suppress ed, are the reformers getting any where Will the world then be saf' for the waltz and two-step? Ina is the question.
