DISCUSSES CRITICISMS
Mr.. Harding Says That When
He Was an Editor in Marion,

Washington, Jan. 18.-President
Harding was in a soliloquizing mood
today on the arduous tasks of the
presidency as viewed from within
and without the White House.
Mr.. Harding was discussing news
papers, editorial criticism and the
executives job. He had been dis
,cussing public question and his re-
ply was so aptly phrased that the
inquirer asked permission to quote
the President.
There was twinkle in Mr.. Hard
,ing's eyes as he explained that a
President really shouldn't be quoted
so often, that sometimes a phrase or
q sentence uttered in impromptu con-
versation wasn't as we'll polished as
1t might be or at any rate wasn't
always dramatically perfect and he
feared the wrath Of some of the
stylists who lately have been picking
his utterances to pieces.
There was nothing plaintive about
Mr.. Harding's observation in this
connection. He gave the impression
that he rather enjoyed the freedom
that an editorial writer had-saying
just what he pleased. And Mr.. Hard
ing INDUCED briefly in "reminiscences
of the days when he too was an edi-
torial writer and expressed himself
with the utmost abandon about pub
lie men and affairs. But he warned

LONESOME GIRLS A PROBLEM

"The greatest problem we have today is the lone
girl problem" Mrs. Helen b Paulson child psy
chology lecturer, said recently Lone someness is
the Of delinquency numerous other social
evils.
THE lonesome girl is not necessarily alone, away
from her family. She may be in her own home, but
her home may not be functioning to give her the
proper outlets for developent and good time Prob
ably her mother IS too busy trying to supply the
physical needs of her family to any attention TO
her daughters social and temperamental needs
There are two types of parents, the well-to-
wealthy parents the professional and capital
istic classes and parents in the industrial class.
"Bothstypes of parents failing to understand
their daughters give them adequate chance for
elf-expression.
what do they do to direct their daughters social
development? The only difference between daughters
Of the two classes is that walks the streets with
her beau and the other goes riding in motor ear
Neither brings her young man caller to her home
For amusement, they both go TO movies and dances
And then elders complain because the girl of today
cannot talk What has been done to teach her to
talk? II isn't possible to do much talking at dance
and even less at the movies. Neither is means Of
social development for young people. Minneapolis

In the nresa Of the country for the last weeks
there have been comments the declnation by Sec
retary Hoover OF an offer CT the position Of director

$4,000 d year. Following so closely upon Mr. Hayes
acceptance OF the drectorship Of the movies Of

yelled comparison Of the public service sense OF these
two men. The opinion seems to be that s0OcoOO
would have been no of a lure to Mr. Hoover
than the offer Of $4,000 which he rejected.

Mr.. Hoover because he had shown himself capable
of doing big things in big way 1t would have been

A Fetch

It Is a rather small group in the legislature which
has been opposing without discrimination all the pro-
posed amendments to the constitution. Votes against
the amendments have varied indicating that the
reasonable members favored them, while they
saw need OF others. But there has been handful
OF members who could not be brought TO admit that
the constitution makers eleven years ago have
lacked omniscence and fore-knowledge the slight
est degree. The unreasonabeness Of the opposition
Of this group appeared in the votes against the
proposed amendment to Article xiv Of the Constitu-
ton which, strictly construed, would prevent
operative marketing.
Now there is not member Of the legislature who
is opposed to CO. operative marketing or who
recognize the necessity for it if the farmer is

against this amendment expected, however, that the
farmer would not be nterfered with in utter disre
gard OF the constitution. And doubt, there would
be no interference with him If he should engage in
operation, especially since farmers all over the
country have been relieved by federal act of the
operation OF the Sherman law.
Thus it was proposed by this group that con-
stitutional provision should be allowed to stand
either violated or imperative in order that the men
who made the constitution might seem by inn
pllcation to have been unable see ten years into
the future To those opponents the constitution is
not basic law for the government Of the people but

NEW YORK, Mar. PA bitter
controversy over jazz has burst forth
in New York as the result of a re-
cent play by j. Hartley Manners,
called "The National Anthem"
which treats OF the baleful effects OF
syncopation. Jazz. according to those
who champion Mr.. Manners view, is
a national curse which is wiclSedly
leading wholesome Americans astray,
while its defenders insist that 1t is
nothing more than a pleasant, IL
banal form of amusement and a
healthfuI, stimulating exercise.
Although this sudden assault upon
our one conspicuous contribution to
music may appear trifle late now
that jazz in it's widest state has
passed on to Europe and has been re-
placed by a more refined phase over

regulate modern dancing and dance

into the New York legislature, and

TWO SIDES OF THE JAZZ RECORD

Hawkesworth, dance organizer. as
serts that jazz serves high and
noble purpose in diverting people and
thus keeping them out Of trouble.
'I believe that people would all drink
more without it, she says. Il see no
connection between jazz and drink
except that IL there were nothing TO
do in the evening people would be
more likely TO sit around and drink.
Jazz goes through all classes OF our
national life and / think ii is here to
stay. 1t is a godsend for both upper
and lower classes"
This opinion Is echoed by Mrs.
Charles Tiffany, prominent New
York rnatron who says: 1t seems TO
me that dancing has done more good
than harm. Older people exercise as
they never did before. People are
more sociabIe, more human. And
after all, jazz affects only a traction
of the population. Eighteenth centu-
nv drawing rooms were just as
shocked by the waltz and other So
called round dances as we are today
by the ultra modern steps that ac-
company jazz music"
A nerve specialist quoted by New
York newspaper considers jazz very
bad for the world in general. while a
well known priest declares that u IS
