Modern Steps Too
Violent, Former
"Queen" Says ,

bugs, attention! You had better
quiet down a bit, during the sum-
mer at any rate.
That advice came today from
Irene Castle Mclaughlin, remem.
bered as the "First Lady of the
Dance" some years back.
The matron, who with her hus-
band, Vernon Castle, made dance
history IN those days just before
the World War. when they did the
Castle Walk, graceful waltzes and
other dances, doesn't think much
Of the modern dances. She ex-
planned:
"These modern dances are too
violent. And, too, they're over
heating"
Mrs. Mclaughlin pointed out
that extreme dances never last
long. Throughout the years, she
recalled, there have been many
new extreme dances devised, and
all have been forgotten.
So it looks as though the Big
Apple, the Shag and other gyra-
tions of the Jitterbugs will soon go
into the discard.

Eldridge's
Arrest Plan
BY WILLIAM E. RING

Twenty-one experts and near
experts" on child safety met in
the office of Commissioner Melvin
c. Hazen today and released a
flood of suggestions on how best
to stop the slaughter of children
on Washington streets.
AS the time approached for the
meeting to convene, Commissioner
Melvin c. Hazen reiterated his
statement that the conference
would be closed to the public.
Newspaper men issued a protest
at the secrecy and upon their de-
mands it was decided at the last
minute to throw the meeting open
to the public.
SPLIT ON FAIRGROUNDS
The meeting convened at 1915.
The decision was made at 1910.
Because of the previous announce
ment that the public would not be
allowed to attend, reporters we're
the only persons present besides
officials.
There was no unanimity at the
meeting on whether the city
needed more Fairgrounds. Some
declared such was the need while
others held it was more vital to
improve existing recreation spaces.
Other suggestions include per-
manent education program for
parents on how to teach children
proper methods of crossing a
street, arrest Of all youngsters
found playing in the streets and
hailing them into Juvenile Court,
an extension of parking prohibi-
tions and one-way streets and re-
duction of the speed limit in the
vicinity of Fairgrounds.
MORE POOLS URGED
Ross Haworth, acting deputy
administrator of the local WPA,
advanced what was regarded rs
the most timely suggestion. He
said:
1--WE in the WA feel that
wading pools and swimming
pools are the primary attrac-
tionS which bring children to
Fairgrounds. We have only a
short time to act, from now
until the end of the September
when most children are back in
school.
1--WE feel that the kids want
to get either in or under water.
We are ready to throw up an
unlimited number of shower
sprays on streets which have
been roped off, in parks where
we can re-sod or re-Seed what
grass is ruined, and in existing
play spaces.
"Our staff of supervisors is
limited but I believe we could
get the cooperation of the Boy
Scouts and Girl Scouts to help
look after the children"
PLAY STREET REPORT
Major Ernest W. Brown, super
intendent of police, contended
there were insufficient play
grounds and that while he was
frankly opposed to play streets
the present emergency warranted
establishment of such streets.
He presented to the District
Commissioners reports Of his pre-
cinct commanders on a survey OF
streets which may be closed. He
said that on some of the play
grounds it was reported that
adults were "crowding children
out of the grounds and into the
street"
Miss Sibyl Baker, District play
ground supervisor, denied adults
were crowding children from the
Fairgrounds

in, apparently alone, and stepped
up to the grilled window. Failing
