Southern hospitality greatly im- pressed Olof H. Lamm, royal Swe- dish consul general of New York, who recently visited Birmingham and other southern cities, according to an interview given out by the recent distinguished visitor upon return to New York.
 Every impression of the south after my first visit in this region is subordinated by the cordial hospi- tality of it's people, and never have received such friendly receptions any where" he said.
 The whole south is field of un- limited possibilities for Swedish in- dustrial products. Foreign trade is a live issue down there, especially in the coastal regions. They look on Eu- rope, not as competitor, but as pur- chaser of their cotton, oil sulphur, to- bacco, oil cake and coal, and as a source of many manufactured articles at attractive prices"

 pr. Stuart related some of his ex- periences of some 25 years ago, when, accompanied by police officials, he visited dance halls and various pub ltc houses In large cities of this coun- try, to study social problems.
 T tell you that I never saw any such exhibitions in the worst places of those days as are seen today in the best hotels and clubs. If in those days any man would have danced in your home in the same vulgar and suggestive positions as now, you would have kicked him out of your house."
 Applause Is Prolonged At this point the audience broke forth in prolonged and long applause in support of the sentiment, and. fol- lowing the interruption, Dr. Stuart said: "If you will look at a modern dance and not be disgusted you must have a moral stomach lined with rhi- noceFOS Shln-
 Dr. Stuart also declared that the way the nation is going can be judged by the songs and read a series of titles to a number of so-called "blues" songs. nearly all of them suggestive, and ranging all the way from the Jazz Me Blues" to the "Yel- low Dog Blues" following this up by reading the text of some of the stanzas.

 In concluding his sermon he spe- cially urged his audience to sec to 1t that the Sabbath is kept intact and to frown on any propaganda. to un- dermine it. declaring that any man who would debauch the Sabbath is not patriotic American.
