BY GENE COIN,

New York, Aug, ss,-If it keeps up the Social Register will have 10 lssue a Business Directory as an aps psndiK,
 For the rebellion of the young la. dies of the 400 against lhe routine of social life is spreading,
 They want 10 mix business with bridge, toll with tea, ease with eafn- ing and selling with sailing,
 They would melt the silver spoon with which they, were born and ilrn the contents to practical pur- poses.
 These rebellians young leaders of American society have concluded that every woman should have a practical vocation, whatever her wealth or social station.
 They want to md out how the money that seems to come so easily Is made.
 Escapes Boredom
 Just a short time ago 1t was Mrs, Morgan Belmont, one Of the most noted and beautiful members of New York's 100. Soon she will take position as style mentor in a biz ilfth Avenue store.
 And now comes Mr~. Gloria Gould Bishop, tho young and charming daughter of George Jay Gould. with the announcement that she will open school for dancing this fall.
 "If it were not foN my dancing. I'm afraid things would he boring" frankly admitted this 1.-the young exponent Of the classical dance.
 It Is no fad. she hastens to add. For ten years Gloria Gould studied what became known as the mil- lionaire class"
 q am going to start with chil- dren'e classes" she went on in out | lining her aims. "l will teach them | folk dancing. No, his will not be a | class for tho children of the rich. There are no social lines in art, as everyone knows-or should. Only grace, rhythm, feeling and technique you intend to attempt and reforms of dance expressions come from peasa sants--certainly they are the most natural and naive and whole- hearted in their dancing"
 Don't you think society could learn few things about grace? Do you intend to attemut an reforms in society danclng-so-cal she was asked.
 T don't see why" she hesitated. 'There are awkward squads at soci- ety functions as elsewhere. But I believe in all forms of the dance. II

New Orleans, A suit attacking
the validity Of the fourteenth amend
ment from a new angle will be filed
in federal district court here in the
form Of a petition seeking TO erjoin
Walter l.. Cohen, negro, comptroller
Of customs Of the port Of New Or
leans, from exercising the duties Of
that office, according to the Times
Picayune. The action, If successful,
would have the effect Of disenfran-
chising every negro in the United
States.
The petition, as published by the
newspaper charges that Cohen "false-
ly alleged himself TO be a citizen Of
the United States" when he took the
oath Of office. IL asserts that the de-
PENDANT is not citizen of this coun-
try, but is "a person of African blood
and descent and Is inherently incap-
able of being a citizen Of the United
States"
The suit Is to be brought In the
name Of II. Edwin Bolte, an attorney

the newspaper, which declares that
the grounds upon which it is based
never have been the subject Of deci-
sion by the courts.
The petition sets forth that three
fourths of the states did not ratify
the amendment, nor was it adopted
by the required two thirds vote Of
both houses of legislatures. Mr..
Bolt was quoted as saying that. al
though he and his associates had ex-
amined all of the more than two hun
bred decisions Of the supreme court
Of the United States which had to |
do with the amendment, in not one Of
them were the points raised in such
action passed upon nor were they
made an issue.
The petition charges conspiracy 10

yress, and various sections are cited
n an effort 10 show that they put
he amendment into effect unlawfully.
AS to Cohen, the petition charges

n Washington, April 16. 1924, he
wore falsely to his alleged citizen

the provisions of the alleged four

The petition alleges that article Ii
