 Mid the distracting notes of the saxaphone and the wierd beat of the tom-tom was witnessed conduct not hitherto seen outside the old red light district. In full view of the audience. which included many boys and girls apparently in their teens, couples on the floor gave way to al- most every form of indecency.
 Dancers violently threw their arms around each other, frequently assuming immoral pastures. Lights were lowered and the strains of syncopated music actions that are indescribable took place. This is the full flowering-the fruition of the modern erotic music, which has so crazed and befuddled the moral makeup of young people,"
 The Rev. Yarrow says it is the duty of parents, churches and schools to know the manner in which the young people are dancing and, hav ing learned this, they should enlist in movement for wholesome, nor nal music and clean dancing.

GOVERNOR DEPLORES
 U. s. INTERFERENCE

PORTLAND, Me, Jan. 16.-Govern- ment interference is threatening the independence of individual states and encroaching upon state rights. Gov ernor Percival Baxter declared in an address here.
 "Gradually the Federal government is reaching out and getting it's grasp on the stats activities" said the Governor. "It does this by doling out considerable sums of money on condi- tion that plans approved by the Fed eral government are adopted. Gradu- ally it has been encroaching on our school department and those depart ments having to do with roads, health, forestry and fisheries.
 'Tt is strange that the question of state rights, the rock on which the country split fifty years ago, adopted then in the south, is taken up now in the north. Very few persons realize that gradually the Federal government is going to invade most of the state departments and take away their independence"

JAZZ MUSIC HAS BAD EFFECT ON
 YOUNG GIRLS
ILLINOIS VIGILANCE ASSOCIA-

 sEx-ExClTING MUSIC BEFUD- DLEs MORALS OF YOUNG GIRLS

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-Moral disaster is coming to hundreds of young American girls through the partho- logical, nerve irritating, sex-exciting music of jazz orchestra" according to the Illinois Vigilance Association, which has instituted crusade to arouse parents, churches and schools to the danger to young womanhood.
 In Chicago alone the associations representatives have traced the fall of 1000 girls in the last two years to jazz music.
 Girls in small towns, as well as the big cities, in poor homes and rich homes, are victims of the weird, insidious, neurotic music that ac- companies modern dancing.
 "The degrading music is common not only to disorderly places, but often to high school affairs, to ex- pensive hotels and to so-called so- ciety circles" declares the Rev. Phillip Yarrows, superintendent of the Vigilance Association. who has prepared preliminary report deal ing with the problem.
 The report says that the vigilance society has no desire to abolish danc- ing, but seek to awaken the public conscience to the present danger and future consequences of jazz music.
 Referring to the 1000 fallen girls the Rev. Yarrow's report says:
 '"The demoralizing part played by jazz music and dancing in the ex- perience of these girls was repeated ly portrayed in their pitiful stories, To observe the final fruits of the jazz music route one must visit a big dance floor in Chicago s Second Ward. Here investigators for the Vigilance Association found the logi-
