Washington, Feb. 2S-(By |. N. S.)-America's E'war profi- teers'' may yet be taxed to pay the soldiers bonus as a result of a movement, gathering mo- mentum in the Senate Agricul- ture Bloc today.
 Leaders of the bloc were aroused by the governments authorization of payments total1ing 505, 5,000,0O0 to holders of war contracts through the war claims board while ''soldiers live and die in pitiful poverty They planned a vigorous campaign to ob tain compensation for soldiers by tax aIion of excessive war profits.
 Payment of $500,000,000 as a guaranteed bonuS'' to the railroads for government control also was pointed to as another reason for the imm ediate payment of a soldiers bo- nus. The bloc, it was stated will sup port any bonus eompensahSn plan which strives to get back some of the profits paid war contract holders and the railroads.

Angus P-s Thorne has laid the situation before the Board of Apportionnent and has exacted oral promises that enough money will be forthcoming from somewhere to see his department through this week. But as $10,000 week is needed to see the depart nent through until April 1. the Common Council will be asked on Monday night to authorize additional funds.
 Unless sufficient funds are, provid- ed, the entire work of the depart ment among the poor and the un- employed will have to cease.
 Because of lack of funds, eight iri- vestigators were laid off this morn ing The unprecedented heavy de- mands, beth from the outside poor for food, fuel and rent, and from the un- employed for work have quickly ab-5 sorbed all available funds While t is not unusual for all departments s-c find their cash low at this tai end of the fiscal year, the Department of Charities is absolutely cleaned oEtA according to MT.

What They Think
 About Jag Dance

New York, Feb. 22S-Is the modern dance craze mentally dangerous? This question was debated in psychological, church and terpsichorean circles today when despatches from Paris stat ed that influential journals and famous academicians had indict- ed jazz as a "hyp pocritical form of obtaining illicit pleasure"
 ''The modern dances ares as soothing to the popuIace as rock ing is to an infant," declared Dr. \. A. Brill, chief of the clinic of pSychiatry in Columbia Univer- sity.
 .'Jazz is to our national life what iTnpurity is to a woman prostitution,' affirmed Rev. Dr. John Roach Stratton, the famous fighting pastor of Calvary Bap- tist church.
 "Georgee Washington loved to manded Louis H. C&alip. high lpriest of the dancing hierarchy who once ripped a toe in the Czar's ballet.
 "I don't care how much young people shimmy if they only take the proper positions and cling to a few forms of etiquette" explain ed Canon William s. Chase of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Jazz is not for sweet sixteen,' t" said Laurette Taylor, the actress, who is starring in a play that de- lpicts jazz.
 Jazz is a manifestation of the speed mania of the age" stated Frank Thomas, Miss Tay1or's leading man, who plays the role of a jazz opponent.

Juana Curto R Rodriguez is represent ed by Attorney Philo c. Calhoun.

1t is reported that several cases
of smallpox exist in a neighboring
town.
We are very fortunate in Ameri-
Gus that we have had compulsory
vaccination as requirement of ma
triculation at schools, but until last
year the rule was more rigidly en-
forced at the schools for white pu-
pills. A large number of our citizens
have been vaccinated, but now is a
good time to examine if you have q
good scar-don't wait until you have
been exposed. Let "safety-first" be
your motto-be vaccinated and safe.
Vaccination against smallpox was
demonstrated and its value acknow-
edged before the "germ-theory" of
disease was recognized.
The cost of the vaccine is all that
