That Charleston

Ever and anon someone arises to take a lusty.
twofisted crack at that popular dance known as the
Charleston.
It is the fate Of all popular dances to be jeered
at by the highbrows. Can you remember the furore
the tango caused? And the shimmy?
But these criticisms Of the Charleston seem ait
tie bit WOODY.
After all there's nothing wrong with the dance.
i isn't suggestive or voluptuols-not in the least
i calls for lot Of muscular exertion but outside
OF that it's as harmless as dayold chicken
Lay off the Charleston you critics. When this
snetton by accident, falls for dance that happens
N aAve no trace Of the suggestive in it-give thanks

Smith College Girls
Tell Summer Earnings

Northampton. Mass. Dec. 9.-{P)-
Smith College girls know how to
earn money. That they turned last
summers vacation to good financial
advantage is shown by reports sub
mitted to the college appointment
bureau by 1853 students whose total
summer earnings were S17,54S
Two girls achieved the high mark
of $3.50 each. One worked as a read
er for a publication house, the other
managed a home and acted as host
ess. The average amount earned
was $116.
The most popular jobs were office
work, waiting on tables in summer
hotels and acting as camp coun-
cillors. Many of the girls put their
college training to practical advan-
tage. One was a French and Span
ish translator and interpreter in a
bank, ten did tutoring, three taught
music, eight engaged in library work,
four were readers in publishing
houses, two taught in vacation Bible
schools and four worked in hospitals
and laboratories. M

Another supervised a group of chill

panion. One girl made her earnings
as chauffeur and another as a tele-
phone operator.

emotion-once when he told Of his
agitation over what he had learned
from Rear Admiral j. X. Robson re-
warding the strategic situation in the
Pacific, and again when he described
water hole economies Of New Mex
leo. which compelled him to loan Fall
money with which to extend his
ranch holdings.
! He traced his career as book agent,
waiter, mule driver, gold prospector,
lawyer, oil operator and. as late as
1896, defunct driller in the hands of
a receiver. in simple direct narration.
The principal points of his testi-
mony as related to the defense con-
| tentions were:
The loan to Fall was a friendly act
| ito help an old prospector friend"
| and was in no way related to the
subsequent negotiations between
| Pan-American officers and govern
| ment agents involving oil contracts.
| All negotiations with the navy and
! interior departments were conducted
by officials Of the Pan-American Or
ganization without consultation with
| Doheny as to details.
| When the first contract involved in
the present trial was signed on April
%, 1922, Doheny was in Mexico and
Fall on his Three Rivers, N. NJ,
| ranch. Doheny was advised by assoc
ciates in the American organiza-
| ton not to accept the Pearl Harbor
contract, but he instructed that the
negotiations be continued because Of
what he had learned, but was not pri-
/, vileged to reveal, from Admiral Robi-
son.
| When the Elk Hills leasing nego-
tiations reached an impasse on roy
atty terms, and Doheny started to
leave Robison's office, the Admiral
had said something about four
| flushing or something like that, i'm
plying we sought some unfair terms"
compromise terms then were &C.
cepted. Fall was not present.
In consultation with Fall late in
| 1928, Doheny urged a "clear. frank
statement of the loan transaction
| befors the senate oil committee.
The signature was torn from Falls
note to avoid possibility of embarass-
ment to him in the event of Doheny's
sudden death.
! Leasing plains were discussed be-
tween the elder Doheny and Fall in
private.
All the personal correspondence
which passed between the two during
the period covered by indictment is
now before the jury, so far as Mr..
Doheny could recall.
Directing Dohenys testimony to
his statement before the senate COM
mittee that the Elk Hills reserves
should yield a profit of 800, 100000,
Hogan drew reaffirmation Of that es-
innate.

Against Manager
Of Young Players

Suit was brought yesterday in the
municipal court against Paul Parr
Smith. manager of the Pearl Young
Players, a stock company now play
ing at the Silver Theater, By Jack
Presses, former member Of the
company. in which the latter sought
to recover 5000. an amount which
he claimed was due him for wages.
Judge Atchley reserved his decision.
The claimant was represented by
Attorney Raymond Rogers, and the
respondent by Attorney Carl Black
ington.
Mr.. Smith testified that while con-
ditions had been such as to make it
necessary to let Mr.. Prosser's salary
run behind, he had given him a
chance to make money on the weekly
programs, the profits derived from
them to apply to his back salary. He
claimed in turn that really Mr.. Pros
ser owed the company. Miss Pearl
Young and Elmer Parker testified at
the hearing.

HOUSE VETS HOWL
Continued from, Page one)

Democrat, of Massachusetts, who was
particularly vehement when he as
sailed Wayne B. Wheeler and the
Anti Saloon League
Rep sentative BIanton, Democrat,
Of Texas, rose to the defense Of pro-
hibition and Wheeler. Representative
Luce. Republican, of Massachusetts,
also upheld the dry side.
Declaring he owed it to his con-
stituency, his conscience and his
manhood to vote against the pro-
hibition appropriation. Mr.. Gullivan
said he was opposed to giving zone
single thin dime for enforcement"
Because object to wasting money
in feeding the jackals and turkey
buzzards of prohibition" he said he
would vote against any appropria-
ton designed to continue this futide
farce of enforcing a uncomfortable
law and taxing my fellow citizens to
swell the volume of lawlessness, de-
prav1ty, corruption ard dishonesty
now befouling and nauching the
American republic.'N
To get the prohibition alley cat
off the backs of so-calIed American
statesmen" Gullivan said he was
willing to compromise" and vote a
liberal pension to Wheeler. provided
he was sent to Mexico or Russia.
Referring to Mexico and Russia.
Gullivan declared "the time is COM
ing when we shall need all the money
the taxpayer is sweating for" He
charged that the Every elements that
have engineered prohibition in this
country are helping to upset Russia
and are assisting in the destructive
activities" Of President Gales Of
Mexico.
Representative Blanton said that
while Gallivan enjoyed the respect
of the Bostonians of his district,
Wayne Wheeler commands the re-
spect of the entire moral forces of
the United States.
The contention that moral forces
art not aligned with prohibition was
expressed by Representative Griffen,
Democrat, of New York, who pointed
to the overwhelming vote in the re-
ferendum in his state and in others
in favor of modificatio of the Vol
stead act. In these referenda, he
said, 100000 people in recent years
had directly or indirectly registered
themselves as opposed to prohibition
or in favor Of modification.
Recalling the referendum in New
York, Representative O'Connor,
Democrat. Of that state, declared his
conviction that any member Of this
body viii believes that prohibition as
1t exists in law today is contrary to
the wishes of the majority of his con-
stituents, or the people of his coun-
try, Is in honor bound to vote against
this appropriation for enforcement"
He was supported by Representa-
tive Connery. Democrat, of Massa-
chusetts, who said the people of his
state had sent Senator David l.
Walsh back to Washington as a mark
Of their disapprovaI of the dry law.
