STREET DANCE AND STUNTS
BY GOOD ENTERTAINERS.

What promises to be one OF the
most interesting programs of the year

OF the finest in the state, covering the
entire business section OF Americas.

HIGH COST OF WOOING
MAKES LOVERS GASP
EVIDENTLY THE COUNTRY is
IN NEED OF A CUT IN THE
VERY BIG PRICES.

It's the high cost OF courtship thai
is keeping our young men out OF mar
riage | am inclined to believe. Sc
thinks Poor Bill Bones" in a confd
ling note, writes Doris Blake for the
Detroit Tribune.
Bill makes forty dollars a week. He
is engaged to Emma, as pretty little
stenographer as ever tickled key
board. You've seen her or her Chic
young co-worker in the financial dis
trict wearing a copy OF the imported
model on display in the avenue win

Emma is nice girl, even if she does
spend lot on dress. She is young
She feels she has to look well. And
that does eat up the leftover after
mother gets her share.
Emma lives at home, is just as nice
a daughter as a mother 1ver had. En-
ma. as | have said, has to keep her
self up Business men don't want her
around nowadays making blotch on
the landscape.
So, being a pretty girl and a we'll
dressed one, and keeping thoroughly
posted on the nice places to go, it
isn't in Bills heart to take the adored
one to a cheap place to dine and dance.
She reads the theatrical news, and be-
ing alive to everything that is going
on in the theatre she naturally
wants to see good shows. That, as
you know, causes a heavy leakage in
Bills none too overstocked wallet. He
cannot take a pretty thing like Emma
up in the gallery. Or, if he takes her
to a dance, there's the taxi fare and
the ticket-perhaps five dollars. Sup
per usually is included in that sort OF
evening. Taxi home again. That's ten
dollars, to put in gingerly,

toned way of entertaining.
Those were easier days on the young
mems purses when the girl asked the
man to dinner when family parties
and picnics took care OF a Sunday at
ternoon or a Saturday evening, and
where a parlor gave the young couple
the chance to be alone.
Wonder if Mr. Coolidge couldn'

this high cost of counting! The coun-

MILLIONS AWAIT ANYONE
WHO CAN SCENT FLOWERS
Thousands of Botanists Trying for
Years to Do That Very Thing.

Want to make million overnight?
Then produce a perfumed gladiolus or
dahlia. Thousands OF botanists for
years have been trying to do this very
thing None have thus far succeeded.
FLOWERS are like birds" says Will
liam J. Lemmer, gladiolus grower.
The gaily plumed tropical birds for
whose wings hunters risk much have
not been gifted with the happy song
OF the warbler, tiny member OF the
great bird family. The rarest Of songs
from the throat OF the hermit thrush,
heard only in isolated places, bellies
the ordinary appearance OF the singer.
1t is the same with flowers.
"The humble violet for instance,
gives off a wonderful perfume The
tiny blossoning heliotrope has fair
ly sitting scent, but from the great
show dahlia OF the gorgeous gladiolus
there is no hint OF perfume. Should
anyone put the scent of the heliotrope,
the violet or the rose into the dahlia
or the glodiollus million dollars
would be easy"

FASTING NOT DANGEROUS 4
WHEN PROPERLY APPLIED

An eminent physician, discussing
the subject OF tasting, says:
Man appears to have lost many
of the natural instincts which low
er animals still possess. One OF
these is the instinct to refrain from
food while the body is in diseased
state. Animals do not eat when
they are sick Even the domestic
house cat will refuse all food I'M
der such conditions. 1t should be
the endeavor on the part of every
individual trying to cure them
selves, or advising others who may
be suffering, to remember this fact,
and aid nature instead OF hindering
it. Fasting is not dangerous if
properly applied. Reports to those
under observation while fasting
show that it is probably one OF the
best agents we have for aiding ma
ture in many diseases.

CHURCH COMMITTEE
DENIES PROHJ FAILURE
RECENT FINDINGS OF FEEDER
AL COUNCILS RESEARCH is
PRACTICALLY REPUDIATED.

The administrative committee, Fed
era1 Council OF Churches, has beer
practically repudiated the recent re-
port Of the research department OF the
same organization, in which national
prohibition was found to be a partial
if not a total, failure in America.
The liquor traffic and the saloon
must not come back again. There is
nothing in the prohibition report Of
the research department to justify any
modification whatever in the position
OF the churches on the prohibition is
sue" the statement just made pubic
declares.
To Go After Big Game.
Coincident with the Reputation in
large measure of the earlier church
findings the administration reiterated
its proposition that the federal gov
eminent should conhne its prohibition
activities to big game" and not waste
its time upon hip-pocket, cheap boot
Logging and other trivial violations OF
the law
This pronouncement OF policy was
first made by Assistant Secretary OF
the Treasury L. c. Andrews, who on
September 10 had declared publicly
that the energies of the government
should be concentrated upon closing
the sources of supply and Furnishing
the big violators and others who are
prohting by traffic in liquor"
Only 1900 Dry Agents.
Still later the white house com
mented to the same general Ell
feet, reminding the country that the
federal prohibition force is limited to
$500 field men, and that by far the
greatest problem now is to break up
smuggling OF liquor into this country.
1t was added that this also IS the most
expensive prohibition enterprise which
the government has undertaken.
Enforcement officials and the ma
tional organizations devoting all their
resources to making prohibition pro-
hibit have been some comfort from
the reversal of the Federal Council OF
Churches on the enforceability OF the
Vo1stead act The administrative body
OF the council taxes the pOsltlOH lIldt
prohibition is a reform that has come
to stay, that it is entirely in sympathy
with all measures to make it effective,
and calls upon the churches to engage
in campaigns in behalf OF temperance
and respect for law.
Renewed Moral Crusade Urged.
The churches must set themselves
with new purpose to see that prohibit
ton is enforced by law and sustained
by national conscience, the statement
says. The churches are called upon to
undertake renewed moral crusade to
strengthen the hands of those who
are responsible for prohibition en-
forcement." The council urges "a
more adequate program OF education
in the moral issues involved in the
liquor traffic"
