"Dancing to Mozart minuets, Strauss waltzes and Sousa two-steps would never lead to the corset-check room which now holds sway in hotels, clubs and dance halls. Nor would a ! girl who wore corsets in those days have been dubbed 'Old Ironsides' and left disconsolate wall-flower in a corner of the ball-room,' says Mrs. Marx E. Oberndorfer, National Music Chairman of the General Federation of Music Clubs. The quotation above appears in an article entitled "Does Jazz Put the Sin in Syncopation?" written by Mrs. Ob erndorfer in the interest of better music. This article which appears in the August number of The Ladies' Home Journal, points out how music may become an. influence for evil. It directs particular criticism to jazz. Offering prpbf that Jazz produces a definite demoralizing effect on the human brain, Mrs. Oberndorfer con tinues; "Jazz originally was the ac companiment of the Voodoo dancer, stimulating, .the , half -crazed1 .barba rian; .to the vilest. deeds.'. , v f After pointing out the. evils .created by Jazz,. Mrs.. Oberndorfer -concludes wth ,a , plea "for '.goad music because of the help and inspiration it can and will give. She says: "The Music Department .f. the General Federa tion, of Music Clubs has takenfpr fta motto: 'To Make Good MusUPopu 'ar and Popular Music Good! " The article shows how the women of America, can help the club - women carry out this motto in every hpjne firmly, steadfastly, determinedly, un til all the music in our land becomes an iafluence for good.

On the Painted Desert of northern Arizona, Hopi Indians next month will hold their noted snake dances, which an nually attract thousands of tourists. This year the dances will be held in the villages of Walpi and Mishong novi. Most people believe the'snake dance is a Hopi rain dance. This is not cor rect, according to Emry Kopta, a sculptor, who claims that the ceremo ny is a form of Indian ancestor wor ship. Mr. Kopta has been living in Walpi village for seven years, and says the Hopis always hold their ' riifh rain dances in June and July and the snake dances in August. Describing the ceremony. Mr. Kopta declared the dancers open the dance by stamping upon a plank laid over a pit. This is intended to notify the dead that the ceremony has begun. Between 100 and 150 snakes are, need ed for the annual dances. Out of the scores of Hopi traditions, has come a- story telling of the origin of the snake dance, according to the sculptor. The traditions tell of a Hopi youth, a dreamer, who once set out to find what lay beyond the far hills. He floated down the muddy Colorado un til he came to a land believed to be California. There he met and wed a maiden of a strange tribe and took her to his Hopi village. The first children of the young cou pple were snakes, and the Hopis ex pelled the two from the village. Then the crops failed, the Indians suffered from starvation and the old village priest said the trouble was brought on by the expulsion. He declared rain would not fall or crops mature until the couple was brought back. 1 Acting on the priest's advice, the Indians searched the deserts for the two and eventually found them. After leaving the village,, the -woman had borne human children and these were brought back. But the snake children had glided off into the desert. In celebration of the couple's return, the Indians danced the first snake dance and, since the snake children could not be found, they brought all the snakes they could find to attend the ceremonies. PRELIMINARY MEETING IS URGED UPON HARDING London, July 29. President Hard irlg is being pressed by' the imperial conference to call a preliminary meet ing on far eastern questions in Wash ington within a few weeks and not to wait until the suggested date in November. This is done at the insti gation of Premiers Hughes, of Aus tralia, and Massey, of New Zealand, both of whom hope to attend a Wash ington session but could hardly do so in November. If a conference is held at an early date the New Zealand and Australian premiers would go to Washington to attend and then proceed homeward where their presence is required within the next few months. The imperial conference worked harder today trying to clear up busi ness than it has for a fortnight.
