FATHERS, SAVE YGIIR DAUGHTER FROM
THE MODERN OUNCES
Exit the incompetent chaperon
of the dance! The ca!! is now for
American fathers to take Vigorous
measuree to save the modern
dance —or rather their daughters
from it. Mrs. Clara R. Winterton,
in the May number of The
Watchman Magazine of Nash
ville, Tenn., under tha caption,
“Dancing Hellward,” comments
on the report of a dance investi
gating committee headed by Mrs.
Harry Hugh Tuttle, of Hartford,
Conn. We quote both from Mrs.
Tuttle’s finding and Mrs. Winter
ton’s comments:
“She found six outstanding
reasons for the dance’s degrada
tion: a spineless chaperon or dance
patroness, eager to be popular
with the young folk; hip pocket
liquor which circulated freely;
cigarettes smoked by young girls;
a saucy, daring, provoking man
ner; the youth of twenty-one or
twenty-two anxious and eager to
“go the limit”; the barbaric, sav
age music of the Congo and Nile
which "turns good young people
into mordern, immature, and utter
ly regardless sensualists.” One
of the most dangerous influences
Mrs. Tuttle found was “the slash
dance” wherein the partner
strikes and slaps his companion, a
shockingly exhibition
that greatly troubled members of
the dance investigating committee.
“Here are the recommendations
that Mrs. Tuttle made to the youth
of Hartford and its environs: She
beseeched girls in their teens not
to smoke, to let cigarettes alone
until they were twenty-five, at
least. She asked them not to ac
cept liquor from the young men;
she begged them not to dance
close to their partners, and to
shun the slash dance as they
would the black death.
"A cure for the present manner
and habit of dancing is coming,
Mrs. Tuttle says, partly through
the young people themselves, who

are beginning to see the evil results
of their ways, and partly through
the demand of fathers that their
children reform. Mrs. Tuttle ex
pects nothing from the mordern
mother —she is t< o it diff rjr.t Mr
Tuttle wishes that a male chaper
on might be substituted for the
backboneless, social-leader female
chaDeron who does not care what
the young folk do or say. A few
good, hearty American fathers,
she believes, would change the
whole thing and without much
fuss or loss of time. A father
usually is quicker to sense danger
for his son or daughter than is a
mother. Social popularity, also,
does not loom so large in the eyes
of man. Social popularity to the
wholesome American is not the
be-all and end all of existence.
Real men, too, are not so afraid to
express an opinion as socially con
ventional women are. Where
women merely talk men would act.
And it is action we need, if the
young people are to be checked in
iheir headlong career As the
majority of mothers, so far, have
absolutely refused or failed to con
trol the situation, what is to be
done unless the fathers lend them
selves to it, and take some definite
step?”
Mrs. Winterton, in commenting
on this report, says: “So here is
our remedy and hope. Fathers
and mothers, will you not assume
your rightful responsibility? The
task is yours.
“That priest of pleasure, Arthur
Murray, the originator of a spec
tacular new dance, a dance that
outdoes the ‘shiininie,’ says of it:
The “College Rock” is a physical
expression of the times to-day an
indication of our present business
condition and state of mind. To
say that dancing expresses busi
ness conditions and the moods of
a nation, and that THROUGH THE
DANCE WE SEE THE SIGNS OF
THE Times, sounds almost ridicu-

ous, but when we hear what
psychologists have to say upon
the subject, we begin to see that
this theory is not at all improbable.
He further says, ‘YVe were told
that the dancing craze of a few
years ago was merely a sign of
impending disaster; that when the
dancing of a nation runs riot, some
thing upsetting will surely happen.
Then we had the terrible World
War.
“Who cannot see that the spirit
of evil in the world to-day has en
tered every door of modern socie
ty? Even the church has lowered
her standards. Bars have been
let down to permit questionable
amusements to enter. Pride,
covetousness, degrading fashions,
dancing, the theater, the card
party, are to day permitted by
many a church that for years
stood out ag°inst all this wo’rdli
ness that is engulfing it to-day.
There is no help for these condi

called culture. These have never
saved mankind and never will. The

You can raise cotton as though there
were no boll-weevil, and keep this pesky
insect from getting your cotton, if you’ll
just follow my advice.
I'm speaking from experience, not
theory, as I raised 604 bales of cotton on
812 acres of land in Burke County,
Georgia in 1922, by protecting my cotton
with my own boll-weevil poison—Hill’s
Mixture. I spent thousands of dollars
and years of hard labor in perfecting this
poison, but have made it back on my in
creased cotton production in the last two
years.

Not only is my poison inexpensive,
costing half or less than the dusting
method, but it requires no machinery
