Challenges
 Statements Accredited
 To Dance Hall Opponents

William l.. Harrison, commissioner of public utilities and buildings, un- der whose supervision the Pershing pier dance hall will be operated if the Issue passes, places the stamp of "proposanda" on the assertions of the opponents to the opening of a public dance hall. and Issued the fol- lowing statement yesterday afternoon charging that some of the substance contained sin the pamphlet, Real Issue and Facts" which is being cir- culated publicly is untrue and un- becoming of men:
 I have just read tho pamphlet ts- sued by tho opponents to the opening of Pershing pier in which they head 1t The Real Issue and Facts" It was not my purpose to make any further statements with regard to this matter, as I felt the people knew the facts and had made up their minds on the question. How ever, in justice to the thousands of people who had signed the petitions and that the public may not be mis- led or deceived. I have decided to dHo CA Oto UT wv OA thC5o etdtS- ments which regard as being very dangerous and pernicious.
 On page five paragraph six of this pamphlet they state in part as fol- lows:
 That it will always be open to the promiscuous, non-descript, immoral element. and let it be distinctly un- derstood that hundreds Of women liv- ing in questionable houses in Bir- mingham are among the signers of the referendum petitions and no one can doubt the purpose for which they signed the same."
 I desire to challenge and deny the statement and imputation that hun dreds of women in questionable houses have signed these petitions. It is true that a committee came to the city hall and with the assistant re- corder, Mr. Hodges. of the police court, went over these petitions with the above purpose in view, but they failed to find them according to the reliable information that I have and left the city hall very much disap- pointed.
 I think 1t is due the people who signed these petitions and especially the good women, that those who got out this pamphlet should name and give addresses of these questionable W omen, that their names and their good characters. may not be be- smirched by such a statement for
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-05-19

such propaganda as this coming from those opposing this proposition, Is unbecoming and unworthy of men.
 On page five, second paragraph, they leave the inference that 1t is the purpose of myself to have dancing at this pavilion on the Sabbath. They know that such is not the truth and that have made my public state ments that no violation or encroach- ment of the Sabbath was contemplat- ed by me.
 The above is just some of the pro- paganda that is contained in this pamphlet and that is also being cir culated against this proposition. have submitted this question on It's merits giving the people the facts in connection with 1t and all I ask is that the people will weigh and analy- ize both sides of this question and if they do, I have no fear of the out come.

Nutrition Work Closes

The nutrition program which has
been carried on under the auspices of
the local Red Gross chapter for the
past two months closed last week.
In spite OF the fact that rains made
many of the schools inaccessible dur
ing this time, Miss Gillette and Mr..
Mock managed to visit and examine
the children IN about 20 schools IN
the county. Over 1900 children
have been weighed and measured
and approximately $50 Of them we're
found to be over per cent under
weight. Que of the most notlcea-
BILE aud serious conditions found IN
practically every rural school was
that nearly every girl over IA years
of age was seriously under weight
or over weight and about twice as
many girls as boys showed decided
malnutrition.

only l9l are under weight. Al chill
