The call is now for Ameri can fathers to t ike vigorous mramu l to save the modern dance—or rr.tLer tuir daugnters f.om it.

Conn. We quote both from Mrs. Tattle's findings and Mrs. Win tcruns comments: . , " "£>;.e found six outstanding rea sons for the dance's degradation; a apiuclis chaperon or dance eager to be popular with the young fo!k_s hip pocket liquor winch cir culated freely; cigarette? smoked h* yoang girls; a saucy, diring. provide ing manner; the youth of twenty on* or two anxious and eagc r to 'go the limit,' the barbaric, 1 savage mu»ie ot the Congo and Ni'e which turns gori young people Into modern, immature, and utterly regardless sensualists. One of the most dangeroo* in flue no Mrs. Tattle found was the 'slaso dance' wherein the partrer strike* ami slaps his companion, a shockingly sa lacious exhibition thatt greatly troo bled members of the dance invest! * gating committee. " "Here are the i ecommendation that M i*. Tuttle made to r/>e youth of Hartford and its environs: Sh beseeched gills in their tee*» not *« smoke.* to let cigarettes alone unt. they were twenty fi\r at Ifast. Sh asktl them rot to accept liquor fron the ycung men; she begged them no* to dance close to their partners, a r ii to shun the slash lance as tliey would the black death. " 'A cure for the present mar.ne and habit of dancing is coming.' Mr Tattle says, portly through the >oußk people themselves. who wre hrfnnnt' to see the evil results of their ways and partly through the demand o' fathers that their children reform.'

"That p. lest of pleasure. Art!" Muray. tne originator of a *pec*acu - lar new dance, a dance that outdoes the 'shimmie', says of it: The "Col eg* Rock' is a physical expression of the time; today an indication of out present business condition and state of mind—to say that dancing expres ses business conditions ami the ao«t of a nat>on. and that through th» dance we see the sign, of the tilw — sound* almost ridiculous, but when we hear wnat psychologists have to sav upon the subject, we begin to see tint this theory is not at all improb able.' He further says, 'We wer» told that the dancing erase of a few years ago was meiely a sign of im pending disaster; that when the danc ing of a nation runs riot, .-omethirr upsetting saiel will happen. Thei we ba>l the terrible World war.' "Who cannot see th.it the spirit •-! evil in the world today ha centered every door of modern society.
