Rates And Fares Cut
BY Removal Of Taxes

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. Removal of
the war taxes of eight per cent on
passenger and sleeping car fares and
of three per cent on freight charges,
which became effective at midnight
Of December 3lst, will mean sub
startial reduction in the cost of both
freight and passenger transportation.
A statement issued by the Southern
Railway System calls attention to the
fact that as these taxes applied gen
orally, their elimination will result in
material cut in the bill the Am
erican people have been paying for
transportation.
Under the ruling Of the Bureau Of
Internal Revenue, the railways will
not be permitted to make refunds Of
war taxes paid on unused portions of
tickets or mileage books or of such
taxes paid on freight overcharges.
Refunds of taxes will be made only
on direct application to the Commits
soner Of Internal Revenue, Washing
ton, and application must be accom-
panied by certificates from the rail
way agents through whom refund of
the railway charges was made.

Jazz Comes In For
Share Of Criticism

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE movies, Jazz
dancing, and the cigarette as they af-
feet public morals, were denounced
at today's session of the International
Purity conference. w. S. Fleming,
Chicago, manager of the National Re
form Association, addressed the dele
gates on "the menace Of the movies"
while ]. Louis Guyon, a dancing mas
ter, also of Chicago, told "the truth
about jazz" Mr.. Guyons described
experiments in his own dancing
academy, about the manner in which
jazz demoralized the young.
Mr., Guyon, in discussing the word
"jazz" claimed that for half cen
tury it had been slang expression
to describe immoral acts, and instead
of having acquired responsibility with
its present widespread use in CON
nection with dancing and music, that
if regarded properly, must be adj
mitted to be at least the beginning
of acts Of immortality, such as the
original coiners Of the word intend
ed"
Mr. Guyon said that if the great
numbers of refined persons who now
earelessly use this word knew its
actual meaning as used in parts of
the underworld, they probably never
would use the word again.
Laws need improving" said Bishop
Cyrus J, Kephart, Of Kansas City,
Mo. police authorities need to be
more exacting, executives need to be
more determined, educational process
es need to be more comprehensive.
But along with all this the moral
consciousness of America must be
aroused. There must come to the neo-
pie of America everywhere a deep
conviction Of individual
obligation to do the right and abstain
from the wrongs"
Daniel H. Kress. Of the Washing
ton Sanitarium, Washington, d. c.,
told of the relation Of the cigarette
to crime and immortality.

THE WOMAN CHAINED

An Oklahoma man kept handouts
on his wife for two weeks and now
she wants a divorce. The husband
insists that it was the only way he
could keep track of the wife or be
sure Of her. The judge thinks that
man who supplements the matri-
monial tie with a set Of iron wristlets
overplays his hand 1t is against law
and public policy The courts held
in. the same way in the case Of the
Michigan man who chained his wife
to the bedpost. Women do not OBJ
joct to the idea of chains, but they
must be metaphorical ones. They are
willing to be anchored TO a man but
It must be by a love-knot.
