DENVER DANCES

BY international News Service
DENVER. Aug. q. The gambling
hells Of pioneer mining towns Of
the West we're paradise compared
with the modern nickel-a-dance
palaces that dot the downtown
streets OF Denver, according to the
version OF city Chaplain Val Hig-
gins.
He would rather see the old
saloon and gambling dens where
miners and cowboys came to shoot
up the town and drink LIQUOR until
their money was exhausted than to
see the dance hall places of vice.
The nickel-a-dance hats are estab-
lishments where young girls are
employed as instructors" at 5
cents whirl so that men who
patronize the place will have part.
ners to dance with.
Under the present city code. such
places are permitted to operate after
going through the simple ceremony
OF purchasing license for a NOM
inal sum. An officer is appointed
to beat" each OF the halls. and a
police woman. Edith Barker. makes
the rounds at intervals.
Yes. / visit the halls. said Chap
lain Higgins land my heart aches
when / see these girls lined up in
d row. each doing her best to at
tract man. y
1T is worse than the old red
light district in its palmiest days
because these girls are all young.
Many of them seek to make
an honest living. Quite often one
of the dance halls seeks spiritual
comfort after she has trayersed the
primrose path. but then it is too
late.

The World and All

to get into a big crowd. sweat tremendously, listen 20

Most holidays are best enjoyed either at home.

a desert. So, al any rate, il appears TO me. Perhaps
! am altogether sedate. and the real way to enjoy a
holiday Il 20 yell and peraspire and get good and tired
for the next days work.
The germ Of this thought about holidays isn't orig
inal with me. | CLEAN il from a remark thrown off
quite casually by Maurice Colbourne in a heavy dis
cussion 81 economic problems. It's in his new book.
Unemployment or War" published By coward-Mc-
Cam.
Mr.. Colbourne has many ideas Just as sane a. this
one. and he lets them slip every once in . while in the
course Of his labored building Of . Utopia Of economic
perfection.
He points out, for instance. that machines can aid
20 much in the productive labor Of the world that they
can put an end to an scarcity Of food. clothing. furni-
ture and other things needed by people in q material
world. II has long been one of my cherished beliefs
that some day machinery and chemicals will create a
greater culture than has ever heretofore existed IN
the world. They will 40 u BY giving everyone leisure
for study. meditation, thinking and reflection.
Mr.. Colhourne. however, doesn't see any such ROSY
prospect. He saws there y enough machinery nov u
do away with All scarcity, 50 that everyone could have
plenty. He claims that artificial restriction Of pro-
duction keeps the machines from making life easy
for everyone.
or course, Mr.. Colbourne has . remedy for the eco
nomic ills Of the world. II is a grand and complicated
remedy, and. boiled down. IL is simply TO make this
unsatisfactory world al over in . new mold. I've no
doubt II II q fine remedy. II sounds great.
