Women Condemn Jazy Music and Dancing At Mobile Meeting

Mobile, February 2-(special.)- Denuneiation of jazz music and cheek to cheek dancing featured the meeting of the Mobile County League of Women Voters, held today, and closed in a veritaole indignation meeting, as woman after woman ex- pressed surprise at stories which were related by members to illus trate their points.
 The meeting caused a sensation here. The discussion was precipi- tated at the close of the regular busi- ness session, when Mrs. John Moul- ton, well known local musician, asked whether the league had ever adopted a resolution expressing its dtsapproval of the jazz music and dances, which she declared "savored of the jungle" and could only have q demoralizing effect upon the per sons who took part in them.
 This brought Mrs. James K. Glen non to her feet to deliver seorch- ing denunciation of something which she said transpired at a recent so- ciety ball given in the city, and which she declared had never been equalled in the social fife of Mobile. Clasps of indignation and surprise followed the unfolding of more details, and the chairman was forced to rap several times for order so that a motion to adjourn might be acted upon. The costume of a dancer at the society hall came in for much censor, one woman saying she had on nothing .anCh

THAT WAS ASKING TOO MUCH
Bishop Probably Had Read That
"Much Shall Be Forgiven" but
Really, Professor Jones!

An English clergyman now visiting
his country tells a story OF an emil
lent Church OF England eccleSiastic
now dead. who on the occasion Of the
gathering of the British association,
invited the members TO an entertain
ment at his place. But he sent no
card TO one member Of the association,
who, thinking that he was the VIC
tim Of an oversight, mentioned the
matter to a mutual friend.
Il will speak to the bishop and make
that right" said the friend. 1T was q
mere accident"
He did speak to the bishop, to this
effect:
"By some mischance, Professor
Jones has not been invited to the en-
tertainment. OF curse you mean him
to Gomez"

bishop. Nothing Il induce me to
ask under my roo a man who has
