east Mr.. l.. c. Beall, Jr. has been
invited to address a large gather

cockerel this week to party at
Vineland, N. j. for $500. Thus
the little Isle of Vashon seems to
have the eyes Of the world look

A WORTHY WORK

The Parent Teachers Associa
tien of Center OF as officially de.
signated School District No. 139,
are now engaged in "A venture de.
serving Of every encouragement
and support and this paper un-
hesitatingly gives to it II most
hearty endorsement with an even
more hearty expression Of good
will.
Since the building Of the new
school house the work Of the Cen
ter p, II. A. has been going on
quietly and effectively. The
grounds and buildings are improv.
ed, beautified; equipment is being
gradually added and all toward
the end that its children Of Dis,
trict No. l39 may meet their first
problems Of education with the
least possible physical discomfort
and with every facility for a
thorough fundamental training.
Their new move is to buy a
library for the pupils, a library Of
reference and literature in keeping
with their years. Is it not plain
that the best ways to keep our
boys and girls free from the influ.
ence of unfit literature is to sup
ply them with selected books of
proven merit, suited to their mem-
tai capacity and related to then
courses Of training?
This paper says: "Three cheers
for the good work"
To help pay for this library
the center p. Y. A. will give an
entertainment at the Vashon Is
land Community Home on Feb.
ruary 26th. The program is made
up by the adults of the District,
the mothers and fathers and big
brothers and sisters, but not the
children. This is the night when
the grown-ups are to show what
they can do and we venture the
opinion that it will be a "hum
dinger" Of a program, especially
the comedy sketch by the ladies
of Center p. 7. A. or the mike
and Ike" sketch by brothers Sapp
and Pierson, or perhaps the Bar.
ber shop chords of the Center
School Board Quartette, with ten
or twelve other musical and vocal
numbers in a close intermingling
of the classic and comedy.
This paper has only this further
to say-The folks of Center have
long been boosting and buying in
on all our affairs all over the Is
land and this being their first ap-
peal for approval and help from
other communities, let all pitch
in and attend who can on Febru-
ary 26th and those Of us who can
not be present let's buy a couple
Of so cent tickets anyhow but best
of all let's pack the little old Com

folks a chance to show what they
can do by way of entertainment.

COURT NOT TO ACT
IN SHOREHAM SALE.
Justice Bailey Holds Evidence
of Fraud Was Not Shown;
Creditors May Appeal.

Justice Jennings Bailey Of the Dis
trict Supreme Court oday declined
to interfere with the sale Of the Shore
ham Hotel property at Fifteenth and
H streets, to Harry Wardman and
Thomas p. Bones, for $1,055,O0O. Ger
tain general creditors of The Shore
ham, Inc, brought suit to set aside
the sale and for a new sale and charg-
ing inadequacy of price and improper
conduct of the auction by the trus-
tees under the second deed of trust.
Attorney William G. Prentiss for the
creditors, Is expected to appeal from
the decision of the court.
Testimony was heard yesterday at
ternoon from real estate experts on
both sides as to the value of the prop
erty and concerning the conduct of
tho sale. Attorney Daniel Thew
Wright appeared for the purchasers,
while the trustees were represented
by Attorney H. Prescott Galley.
Justice Bailey, in his opinion, held
there was no evidence Of any actual
fraud in the sale, nor of fraud and col
fusion between the trustees and the
receiver or between them and the
purchasers, nor among the various
bidders at the sale. He orders the
dismissal of the petition of the credi-
tors with costs.
In the course of his opinion Justice
Bailey says: THE sale was well at
tended and there was competitive bid
ding. The property already had been
advertised for sale as d going con-
Germ in several of the larger cities by
the receiver without obtaining any bid
and was advertised by the trustees in
accordance with the terms of the deed
Of trust. The order permitting the
trustees to sell did not require con-
firming Of the sale by the court
The property is probably worth
about 81 ,24O 900, the court hnds, but
the testimony, he says, shows that it
is difficult to find a purchaser for
such property in it's present condi-
ton. The price is not unreasonably
low, the court points out. and no pur
chaser has come forward with any
better offer nor do the petitioners Of
fer to secure the trustees if the
property does not bring an equal
price at another sale or to indemnify
,llu purchasers and those claiming
under them.

Dy the ASSUClateu FTtSS
CHICAGO, August 31.-Luxurious
public bathrooms, entertaining amuse-
ment seekers who a decade ago would
have viewed a public dance with ele-
waited brows, have become in the last
five years a notable part of Chicago's
recreation facilities.
The success of such ventures as are
typifled here in the Trianon and Ara
gon bathrooms and dozen similar
dance palaces is attributed by mana
gers to self-imposed restrictions
which have removed the stigma from
the public dance hall and have fore
stalled city regulation with its UNI
welcome element of police supervi-
sion.
Managers agree that the biggest
factor in popularizing dancing has
been the chaperonl system sponsored
by them with the aid at first of the
Juvenile Protective Association, a
group Of Chicago women.
Voluntary Action Taken.
An Italian fruit dealer complained
in 1921 that a neighborhood dance hall
kept him awake. and Mrs. Elizabeth
Crandall of the protective association
suggested that the managers remedy
conditions themselves before the city
stepped in. Out of the meeting came
the National Ballroom Association
with Mrs. Crandall as secretary.
What can we do to make our dance
halls more respectable?" the mana
gers asked, and group of women
studied the problem and made a re-
port.
Speed up your music" was the
first suggestion.
Within "a hours every orchestra in
the ballroom group had doubled the
tempo Of it's melodies. The toddle, the
shimmy and kindred slow syncopated
