EVIL
Rev. Arthur Long Declares
These Places Are Breed
Ing Future Divorces

Ccndemning the dance han as
one Of the greatest breeders OF
divorce. the Reverend Arthur Long,
Of Enid. Okla. who is conducting
q series Of evangelistic services at
the Fifteenth street Christian
Church. last night urged the young
people Of the country to adopt the
church az their meeting place.
'"The cheap. tawdry and impure
dance halls" the minister said,
would be well characterized IL
over their doors were written
Future Husbands and Wives De-
stroyed Here"
The Reverend Mr.. Long declared
that in many Of the larger cities
the ratio Of divorces to marriage
is one to three. The reason for
this. he said, goes back largely to
failure In the home to create
genuine character.
"A foundation must be laid in
character. education and social In
tercourse," he said. such a
foundation Is against too youthful
lovers and too youthful mar.
riages."
The speaker warned his hearers
that while the engagement means
closer relationships, it il not the
equivalent OF marriage.
THE violation Of virtue during
this period often means broken
engagement and disappointed lives, =
he said.
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock,
the evangelist will preach to women
and girls on Genuine or Sham
Womanhood" and in the evening he

With Appeals for Aid

An organization known as the INA
tiOnal Disabled Soldiers league"
which has been flooding Boston with
appeals for aid for disabled service
men, was denounced recently by Gen.
Clarence r. Edwards. state commander
of the American Legion. Circulars ac-
companied by lead pencils, sent to
various business organizations and
firms, by the League, read as follows:
Here are five excellent,quality pen
ellis. We had TO pay for them. They
are useful to you. One dollar is more
than they are worth, but If you VIII
send 1t the profit will help US In our
fight TO better the sad lot confronting
the disabled soldier" General Ed
wards pointed out that this organIza-
ton recently ran afoul of the law, and
he expressed indignation that It is
making such appeals. Don't give them
a nickel" was the advice given the
public by the general.

Let me see yes, I still have

Now, or as soon as you are pre-

AS they ate together Grant showed
no disposition to discuss what Under
called his Big Idea, nor yet to give any
satisfaction In response to his com
panion's somewhat pointed references
as to his doings of the night before.
There are times, Under" he said,
"when my soul Graves solitude. You,

salute In which mock Difference could
not entirely obscure the respect be-

slons, while Grant devoted the after
noon TO a session with Murdoch and
Jones, but 1t was noted that Grants
interest centered more In a certain
telephone call than in the very graft
flying financial statement which Muir
doch was able to place before him.
And 1t was probably as a result Of
that telephone call that taxi drew up
in front of Murdoch's home ut exactly
sixthirty that evening and bore Miss
Phyllis Bruce and an officer wearing
a captains Uniform In the direction
of the best hotel in the city.
The dining room was sweet with the
perfume OF flowers, and soft strains Of
music stole vagrantly about its high
arching pillars. mingllng with the chat
ter of lovely women and of men 10
whom expense was no consideration.
Grant was conscious OF a delicious
sense CT intimacy as he helped Phyllis

Il am 50 glad, she said. 1T seems

They gave their orders, and sat in
silence through an overture, Grant
was delIghting himself simply in her
presence. and guessed that for her part
she could not retract the confession
her love had wrung from her so long
