 PERFECT SHOULDERS;
 AWARDS HER VERDICT

San Francisco. Jan. 7.-One good look at the perfectly shaped and pink shoulders of Miss Grace Naughton. comedy blonde, by Jus tice A. T. Barnett and she won judgment of $10.40 against a beauty specialist, because his preparation to remove freckles had failed.
 At the time Miss Naughton submitted her shoulders in ex- hibit to the court she also sub mitted the freckles, still present, despite the fact she had applied the alleged freckle remover half a dozen times. One peek at these two vital plaintiff exhibits and Justice Barnett ordered the beau ty specialist to pay the amount Miss Naughton claimed she had paid for the ointment on a money back guarantee"
 The preparation took off the skin but left the freckles. Your Honor, the demure little miss told the court.
 Miss Naughton, we'll known in aquatic circles, stated she got the freckles while swimming and could not wear pretty dresses be- cause of them.

 coming to hundreds of young Ameri- < can girls through ''the pathological
 nerve-1rr1tating, sex-eXciting music of 2 4azz orchestras," according to the H. 1 1uo1S Vigilance Association, which has instituted a crusade to arouse tparents, churches and schools to the 10anger to young womanhood.
 In Chicago alone the association's representatives have traced the fall of 1000 girls in the last two years to jazz music.
 Girls in small towns, as we'll as the 2 big cities, in poor homes and rich homes, are victims of the weird in hGadious, neurotic music that accom- panies modern dancing.
 The degrading music is common enot only to disorderly places, but of ! ten to high school affairs. to expen- s4ve hotels and to so-called society circles" declares the Rev. Phillip ! Narrow. superintendent of the Vigil ance Association, who has prepared preliminary report dealing with the fproblen.
 1.-The report says that the vigilance society has no desire to abolish danc- ing, but seeks 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:
