little the worse for wear: had been
acclaimed by the redoubtable Texas
Guinan. and had seen the city's fore
most folk.dance, 1.-The Blackbottom,"
danced as it should be danced.
Mrs. Mcpherson announced that
only by an invasion Of the night
clubs could she see how New York
conducts itself in after normal bed
time hours.
The first stop on her tour was the
Open Door. on McDougal ST., in
Greenwich Village. There she shed
her fur coat and satin-brimmed hat
and awaited developments.
Police Take Two
Local color came at once. Two
men who had collided while dancing
with their partners came to blows.
Having missed the Jack Delaney-Jim
Maloney fight in Madison Square
Garden, Mrs, Mcpherson was max
ing up for lost time. A Strong
arm" squad elected the rowdies and
color returned to the evangelist's
blanched cheeks.
She began to. take notes on the
proceedings. Young men and women
were engaged in that weird contor-
tions popularized under the name OF
THE Black Bottom"
'I pity the girls" said Mrs. Nc
Pherson. Look at the dead eyes
in such young faces" she said. Here
you see them sowing; I have been
concerned for so long with the reap
ing"
A girl of high alcoholic content
staggered near the table and espied,
without recognition. the evangelist.
"Didja see 'em pick on my boy
friend?" she trilled. Lord. I'm see
in brickbats. Who you writing to?"
No Soul Saving
There was no attempt at soul
saving. Shortly thereafter Mrs. Nc
Pherson left the open door and Wis
tied Texas Guinan's Three Hundred
Club which yesterday accepted a
paddock but which had not yet ap-
piled it. Texas teased and teased
and finally the evangelist was intro
duced from the center of the floor.
II am seeing new side of New
York" she said. She reminded those
at the tables that behind all these
good clothes, these good times, there
is something else," and invited the
guests to attend her sermons.
Miss Guinan said she wouldn't
miss it and cried:
This is woman 1 admire. She
has the courage of her convictions.
Give this little woman a good hand"
And Mrs. Mcpherson left the club
amid frenzy of handclapping.

REFORMERS

SMOKE TAX
w. C. T. U. Leaders Against
Tobacco Levy to Aid
Colleges.

w. C. T. U. and AntiSaloon
League workers today objected to
the proposed tobacco tax bill pend
ing in the Indiana House Of Repre-
sentatives.
Revenue from the tax would go
to Purdue and Indiana Universities
and the two State normal schools.
A tax Of / mill would be collected
on each cigaret sold in the State,
or 2 cents on each customary pack
age of twenty. The cigar tax pro-
posed ranges from 10 cents to $3.50
a hundred.

Z. S. SHUMAKER, Director Indi-
ana Anti.Saloon League-"Personally
/ would not favor tobacco tax for
the purpose OF furthering education.
I do not believe in taxing the weak
ness of any one for the purpose of

the use Of tobacco in any form

cigaret tax for the purpose of

reminiscent of the day when we
were told that we could not have
public schools without the money
derived from the liquor and saloon
tax"
MRS. E. C. RUMPLER, citizenship
training division, General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs, and w. G
T. U. member: I'VE have learned
in this country that public schools
can be supported without the neces
sity of taxing human weakness.
believe that to provide funds for edu
cation by a cigaret tax would place
too low a value on the educationa
program of Indiana"
MISS CLARA SEARS. State
w. c. 7. L. treasurer: "Our or
ganiZation maintains an anti
narcotic department and we are
opposed to the use of cigarets so
we would certainly be opposed to
taxing them for educational pur-
poses. The bill must be sponsored
1 by the tobacco interests"
MRS. B. S. GADD. presiden
central district, W. c. T. T.: MY
observation has been that people are
perfectly willing to be taxed fol
educational purposes. They would
prefer TO pay straight taxes, how
ever, to these special levies, and
am unalterably opposed to this
alliance Of tobacco and education"
