classics lost money The people seem to
like jazz. 1t is up TO some one to lind out
why they misuse II and, indeed. why they
like It.
1t Is not easy TO read the report of the
Mayors committee of jazz Investigators
without feeling that the committee was con-
tent TO view surfaces. II appears to know
little about the true origin Of the trouble
with which il seeks to deal. The stage was
the first teacher of jazz aud jazz dancing.
Is it TO be supposed that the stage in Phila-
dCipha will be cen Sored. too?
II will seem to casual observer that the
question of immodcst dancing resolves itself
finally 10 questions Of taste and good man
ncrs. SomC of tho modern dances are ugly
beyond words. utterly foolish. and at times
dsagrccably suggestive. When the growing
generation is made TO understand that it is
making itself appear ugly and ridiculous
and generally unattractivc. dancing will re-
form itself. In other words. when children
arc taught better manners at home aud in
school there may be jazz music. but there
viii be nothing to complain about in dancing
fashions

OUR cLoISTERED SENATE

TNCLUSINER and cXciISivcr rs Alice
L. would say If she We're viewing the Won.
derland Of Washington, grows the Senate OF
rhe United States and the senatorial soul
and mind.
Everywhere else in the world the tendency
OF statesmen is toward more intimate rtIa-
,ionshps with the plain people and greater
kuowIedge Of the busy and active world Of
thinking and laboring men aud women.
But the Senate draws further ana further
within its marble and tesSelatcd shell. It's
collective soul Chambers upward and on TO
cliiier and further heights, whore no crho
Of the common life can reach it.
There was n time. for example, when
accredited newspaper correspondents were
permitted the rourtCsies Of the Senate lob
bfcs-that is they were free to move among
rnc Great Men in the corridors adjoining
the Senate chamber, to put queries and seek
tbe information necessary to public cnlight-
eminent.
That privilege has been withdrawn and
another of the few remaining links that
connected the upper house with the public
that it is supposed TO serve was broken
Robes and crowns have not yet been dis

FOL to tne Senate Office building, and an

tive of the Egypt Of old and of Nero
Why the Senate is as it is no on" knows.
Rnt The further a member can got away from
the outer world and the cIamor of voices
the ayicr it is for him TO imagine himself
and his associates as lordy supcrors Of the
President, the Supreme Court and the rest
of the government.
Sooner or later something will have to be
donc about the Senate. IT is becoming not
only n stronghold OF reaction. 1t is alto
pcther too much like the Council of Ten.
Certainly it is not dcmocratcally minded
body.
The press has been excluded from the Sen .
nte corridors with the explanation that II
blanket rule was necessary to keep lobbyists
and tipstcrs of the floor. That of course
was subtcrfusc The Senate hates to be au

more prominent as time passes. and 1t will
continue to be the subject for debates such
as that which was precipitated at recent
meeting of Lutheran ministers in this city.
''The ministry" said the Rev. J. Frank
Uric. pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church,
lis spiritual office. When the church
fastcus its eye on temporal reform wrought
chiefly by the arm OF the law in the state
rather than in addressing the word of God
TO the conscience of men, il will fall short
of its great rcgcnerativc mission"
The church, said the Rev. J. G. KunH-
man. should represent the voice of God in
the wo"ld and she cannot do so by mere
protest"
The hopes and aspirations that lay be-
hind the lnterChurch World Movement and
the failure of that vast plan were among the
most significant happenings Of recent years.
The mood out of which the effort to Chris
tianizc politics and industry grew still
persists. All the early Christians were
tireless champions of the weak and the
oppressed Later Christians cannot be

TOLL ROADS AND MOTOR FEES

THE license fees for mOtOrtruCks cannot
i be increased unless the state is ready
TO go back in principle to the old toll road
system.
Every argument advanced N favor Of
heavy fees for motor vehicles is an 0rSu-
ment for toll roads: thG' is. roads IN" up-
keep OF which is paid for by the vehicles
that use them.
Free state highways have superseded the
private roads maintained by toll. gat" com
papies. They arc open TO the public and
kept open because it is believed that il is
the function of the state 10 facilitate com
munication. No owner Of n horse drawn
vehicle has TO take out q ltc"uSe permitting
him to drive on public highway
Owners of motor driven vehicles. how
ever are licensed. This license is jUstiiabl
as a police measure. Its purpose is to
register the name Of ovc"y owner Of such
vehicle. 50 that when an accident occurs
the perscn responsible can be discovered and
reached This is not necessary in til" ease
Of horse drawn vehicles. Tor they cannot
travel at a rapid rate "f speed and dis
appear before the injured pcro"n or wit
nesses can take notice.
But the registering ~ motorcars. de-
fenSiblo and PROPER. has been followed by
the levying of tax on the owners to be used
for tho upicep Of tho highways II was
small tax in the beginning. But il has
been increased from time 10 time unit! now
il is proposed to charge the owners OF heavy
trucks n much as 800 a year for IN"
privilege Of using the highways. Th" police
function is being superseded by the taxing
function. and il is argued that the truck
owners should be taxed heavily bccaus" their
vehicles wear out the roads on which they
are run.

The Giant Baking Ovens

Again, this intense heat Of $50 de-
grees is needed to insure that every
single starch cell shall be exploded
and its starch made digestbIe. A
lesser degree of heat leaves some of
the starch unruptured and impos-

stomach.
Kitchen stoves and gas-heated

this intense heat consistently and
without variation.
