PAN-AMERICAN
RECEPTION
TONIGHT

The Secretary of Agriculture and
Mrs. Jardine will be hosts at a
reception this evening at the Pan.
American Union in compliment to
the delegates attending the first
International Congress of Soil
Science. The ladies accompanying
the delegates have also been invited
to the reception, which begins at
$3.50 o'clock.
This Congress has brought to
Washington some of the most dis
tinguished men from all over the
world-men who use their brains
for the advancement Of mankind in
every corner of the earth ire
spective of political opinion and
differences. These men have lit
tie concern with politics. There
are several delegates from Rus,
STA, the political outcast among the
nations, for instance-but the other
delegates are not upset about it,
AS one reporter says there Is
more high-brow and less high-hat'
in this gathering than in any group
assembled in Washington for d
long time.
At the" opening reception last
night at The Willard tuxedos could
be counted on the fingers of ones
hands and there were ten soft col
lars to every stiff one. Briar pipes,
the kind that thinkers smoke, are
in frequent evidence around the
meeting rooms. These men have
something on their minds of far
deeper import than the niceties of
sartorial perfection. Yet they must
not be judged as crude. One only
has to look at those high bullying
foreheads to see that this is a gath.

Broadway, which produces the shows and sets the
theatrical standards for America has begun delugng
the country with ndecency 1t is not so bad as Eu-
ropean drama, but is too rotten for America and there
are signs everywhere that the American people will
not stand for it, The action of the authorities in
New York City is merely spectacular evidence Of what
is likely to become national revolt, destined to bring
American drama back to the decency and decorum
that characterize normal American life.
If the paywrights and producers continue along
their recent they will surely lose their decent
patrons. That has begun already. If they minister
only to the indecent, they sink deeper and deepe rim
the mire and must end in self-disgust and financial
failure. Theatrical prosperity in the past has been
gained by appealing to the whole publicity playing
for the average and woman, who are neither
purtanic nor shameless but who demand in their en-
tertanment higher degree of cleanness and respect
ability than any other country in the world
The decent people of this country always put the in
decent people out Of business when it comes to show
down.
The theaters may be decent from compulson or from
choice. If hey wise, they will choose the way of
decency-f not because is decent then because it is
the only way to continuous prosperity.
