Dance Hall Bill
Passes In House
STRINGENT REGULATION PRO
VIDED-ADOPTION BY SENAT
IN WEEK FORECAST.

Stringent regulation of public dance
halls in Minnesota, whether in city
or country, will be provided in the R.
A. Wilkinson bill which has passed
the house and seems likely to pass the
senate in another week. The bill, af-
ter rather stormy debate in the house,
mustered strength on the final rollca!l
and passed, 50 to 16, late yesterday.
A companion bill by Senator George
H. Sullivan has been recommended to
pass in the senate. The Wilkinson bill
will be substituted for it, and motion
to make it special order is expected
when the senate reconvenes Tuesday
at IL a. m.
The bill has been warmly supported
by women's organizations and evidence
brought before committee hearings has
shown lax moral conditions surround
ing dance halls, especially in rural dis
tricts near the cities The measure
provides for licensing of dance halls
under strict regulations as to their
conduct, for which proprietors are held
responsible. Police supervision is re-
quired. 1t applies to all public dances
in the state. Licenses are to be grant
ed by the municipalities.

By Amy McGuftin.


Mrs. Thomas g. Winter, who, as

put forward by individuals for selfish
purposes.
"The Federation of Women's Clubs
indorses nothing over which it has no
CONTROL" she declared.
Denies Sponsoring Proposal.
"In travelling over the country | find
that the federation and / have been
represented as having indorsed all
sorts of easures-sometimes it has
been that we have urged every one
in the country to wear pink carna-
ton for a day, or some equally foolish
proposal.
'sIn one week I received 168 letters
seeking Endorsement of the women of
the country for various projects, and
not long since an offer of $3.50, 900 was
made me from man to go to Wash
ington to work for certain bill.
1--WE must get away from the little
and unimportant things and bend our
enegries as force for the bigger and
better things IN every community"
Stricter immigration laws to curb
the inpouring of undesirable citizens
were held essential.-St. Paul Dis

Harding Backs
Garden Week"
GENERAL FEDERATION OF u. S.
WOMEN'S CLUBS ESPOUSES
VEGETABLE PLANTING.

"Grow your own" might well be the
slogan for the week from April % to
%, which will be observed as Nation
al Garden week.
While the ground in many parts of
the country is still blanketed with
snow, and while folks sidle up to the
warmth and coziness of the fireplace
and gaze defiance through the window
at the elements, plans are rapidly TAX
ing form for making homegrown
vegetables worthy rivals for the flow
ers in the yard, symbolizing the adj
vent of joyous spring.
The National Garden week, to be
conducted by the General Federation
of Women's Clubs, has received the Of
ficial sanction of President Harding.
In indorsing the project, the President
wrote to Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, pre-
sident of the General Federation, as
follows: my Dear Mrs. Winter:
81 am glad to assure you of my
hearty Endorsement of the program OF
the General Federation of Women's
Clubs for a National Garden week
this spring. The benefits both to in
dividuals who take part and to the
community as whole are so obvious
that they seem hardly to require en-
umeration."
In outlining the purpose of Garden
week, Mrs. Winter said:
Perhaps nothing could help to sta
bilize our minds and spirits in this
very tumultuous time so much as a
profound and intimate. realization Of
the steadiness of the universe in which
we live-its law, it's orderliness, its
magnificent, long purposes and recur-
rences. The garden movement means
a great deal more than getting little
plot of land, where the child or the
grown-up can raise few sweet peas
or radishes.
"It means that serene contact with
the vitality and reliability and sereni-
ty of nature, of purpose and fulfill
ment, of human life as related to fore
es infinitely greater than itself
That's the reason We clubwomen are
backing Garden week. We believe in
the kind of activity tiat links itself
with ordered purpose-that sees the
day as a part of eternity"

Brakeman Killed
At SanbOrn
ED. LAUDERT OF WASECA
CRUSHED WHEN FREIGHT CAR
JUMP TRACK.

Brakeman Ed. Laudert of Waseca
died at the Commercial Hotel in San
born at about $50 o'clock Sunday
morning, from the effects Of injuries
received while switching in the local
railroad yards. The body was taken
to Waseca Sunday evening, for bur-
ial, accompanied by Conductor VIM.
Crouch of Sleepy Eye.
The unfortunate man was working
on freight train 481 going west which
pulled into Sanborn about 5 O'Clock.
The train was switching in the west
end of the yards, and was backing IN
on a side track to pick up a car,
Laudert was riding on the side of the
first car, when the car suddenly left
the rails and headed toward another
box car on the adjoining track. Be-
fore Laudert could free himself he
was caught between the two cars and
the lower part of his body was bad
ly crushed. Had the car stayed on
the rails FIVE feet more, the cars
would have cleared and the brakeman
could have rode between the two cars
without injury.
Examination of the car and the
rails failed to disclose any defects
and why the car should have left the
rails where it did is a mystery.
After the accident it was early
seen that Mr. Laudert was seriously
injured. He was taken to the Com
mercial Hotel, and cared for by ply
sicians and willing hands. He re
manned in a semi-conscious condition
from the time of the accident unit
his earthly end came. The body con
tanned few scratches and cuts but
it was the internal injuries whicl
brought death.
The railroad company's claim agent
arrived here Sunday afternoon. Dep
uty Coroner c. B. Fraser called jur.
consisting of Fred Manecke, H. Peake
VIM. Woehrman, Jas. Becker, Chas
Ripley and Christ Whelan, who view
ed the body and the place of the ac
cident, and adjourned to the latte
part of this week for the inquest
when the train crew and any witness
es will be examined.-Wabasso Stan
