RICH GIRL DEFENDS
/. LURE OF CABARETS
Offend Fastidious Taste
Less Than Exclusive Home
Parties. Miss Mckay Says.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. November 26-Ellin
MacKay, u yearold daughter of
Clarence II. Mackay, president of the
Postal Telegraph Co., and cousin of
Alice Duer Miller, the novelist, broke
into print today defending visits to
cabarets by the young smart set
In the New Yorker. Il magazine, she
writes that. paradoxically. the young.
er generation of the smart set prefers
the privacy of public cabarets to rub
bins elbows with the hoi pplloi at
exclusive dances given by their anx-
tous and SoliCitiouS parents.
Declares Elders GuIIible.
Miss Mackay's first article, to be
paid tor at space rates, declares that
''Our elders attribute 70 us sins too
gaudy to be true. The trouble is our
elders are a trifle gullible; they have
swallowed too much of Mr.. Scott Fitz-
gerald and Miss Gertrude Atherton.' -
Mentioning cabarets, the Lido-Nen-
ice, recently padlocked for dry law
violations, is described by Miss Mac
Kay as ''palely innocuous."
I'VE like TO go to cstbarets,' con
tinues the article. 1t is not, as our
elders would have il, because we en-
Joy rubbing elbows with all sorts of
people We do not particularly like
dancing shoulder to shoulder with
Eaudy and fat drummers. We do not
like unattractive people.
If our elders want to know why
we like To go to cabarets, let them go
IT, the best Of these. our present day
exclusive parties, and look at the stag
lines. There they will see extremely
unalluring specimens. a third or 50
of the stags are attractive, agreeable
young men. The rest are just stags
and pretty terrible.
Have Privacy in Cabaret.
We go to party and take pot
luck, and the luck is four to one
against us. AT last. tired of fruitless
struggles to remember half familiar
faces. tired of vainiy trying to avoid
unwelcome dangers, we go to a cabaret.
I'VE go To cabarets because OF the
very fastidiouSness that our elders
find So admirable a quality. We have
privacy in Il cabaret. What does 1t
matter if the fiapper and her fattish
boy friend are wriggling beside us as
we dance" We go because we prefer
rubbing elbows in Il cabaret to dancing
at an exclusive party with all sorts
and kinds OF people.

u. S. PEDIGREE HUNTERS
SEEK DATA IN OXFORD
Middle West and Pacific Coast

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
OXFORD, England, November A.
American pedigree hunters have in
vaded the oxford libraries. The scions
of forgotten ancestors resident in al
most every one of the United States
have asked the university librarian tc
bridge some vast gulf in their patro
nymics.
a large percentage of the inquiries
are coming from States in the middle
West and the Pacific Coast.
1t is considered fortunate for the
genealogists and the College of Her
aids that ancestor worship has founG

research shows that many of the great

hours. general prohibition officers
found that empty" houses make ex-
cellent saloons.

Twenty-Five gallons of mash was con.
fiScatcd.

brcwerics agents have found in San

OFF! HOT CLOTHES,
BUT POLICE COME
WITH GOVERN G

CHICAGO, Aug. s. - There was
nothing wrong with Franks theory,
it was his mode of presentation
Frank Scanncll, of Franks Hotel,
Thirteenth street and Third avenue,
had gotten outside of quite a quantity
of bootleg whiskcy. The day was n
warm one. Masculine attire is not
conducive to extreme GOODNESS. SO Mr..
Scanncll took action on the clothes
problem. He discarded them.
Frank posed blatantly in the second
story window Of a partially demol-
ishcd tenement at No. 35G West For
ty-sevcnth street. Said tenement Is
not far from Eighth avenue. 1t is quite
near the West Forty-second street
police station.
All traffic stopped while astoundcd
church goers craned their necks to
watch the antics of the unconventional
figure.
Police came running, to-wit Patrol
men Joseph Kolb, Edward Welch,
Tony Ross and Tom Ward.
Scannell ran. They pursued. The
five of them leaped from window TO
window, sped across the cluttercd
second story and altogether disturbed
the Sabbath quiet by kicking up a
terrific clatter.
The public looked on amusedly.
Scannell, exhausted and perspiring,
was captured by ditto patrolmen.
Some one found a pair of overalls
and a coat. Frank was poured into
this civilized garb and the show was
over.
He is being held in Bellevue for
observation.

RANK OUTSIDER WINS AUTO
CHALLENGE RACE.

Sometimes dark horse will win an
automobile race. Here's an instance
from Salt Lake City. with a some
what laughabie climax
The Jewett dealer had issued a
challenge for a competition on an ex-
tremely steep grade. 21st South
Street Hill. and had defeated all
corners. Finally one more make of
high-powered car accepted the chal-
lenge, and the Jewett and the COM
petitor met at the foot of the hill,
where a crowd gathered to watch the
match.
Just as the contest was about to
start. along came a Michigan tourist
driving Jewett de luxe brougham,
well loaded down with the usual
camping equipment. Attracted by
the crowd. he stopped. and on find
ing out what was up, decided to en-
ter the contest.
Without tuning up his car. or even
removing the excess weight carried.
the Michigan tourist put his Jewett
up the hill with wide open throttle
and ran away from the car that had
been groomed to meet the Jewett
dealers challenge.

The country surrounding Frederick for many miles

that is, your FULL APPRECIATION OF ITS POSI-
BILITIES and your willingness to do unto your neigh
bors you would have your neighbors do unto you
if conditions reversed
If you were a merchant today in the township where

WELL, THAT IS PRECISELY
OUR SITUATION TODAY

The great cities mentioned above-the great devel-
opments that have taken place in the communities
mentioned-are first the result of the concentrated
power of home buying, where the folks determined to
band together that justice done each other
by each other.
When it necessary to purchase farm materials
when it necessary to purchase clothing and other
personal necesstes-when it necessary pur-
chase supplies and fngs for the home-records show
that in the main these folks of days gone by stood
steadfasy together; and in consequence they became
in their community and their interests
larger and their vision broadened until their
communities became influential enough to attract
people from elsewhere with the net result that villages
grew into towns-towns grew into cities-two-story
structures turned into sx-story structues-sx-
story structures into sky-scrapers, and people
spoke of that community a thrifty place to live.
