In regard to the dance hall expose which is being run in. the Chi cago American, I wish to give my view on the subject Last week Miss Florence Patten was assigned to in vestigate what becurred in the vic ious dance hall on Saturday night. Miss Flo Patten paid a visit to the Pilsen auditorium, Sokol hall and Carpenters' hall, on the South Side. To make a long story short, since Miss Patton has been assigned to these halls she sure has cut some ice. She describes our dance halls as being equal to the Barbary Coast She claims that young couples are given permission to "shake it up" and to put-on wicked dances regard less of the manager. She also claims there is quite a bit of shady work put over while the law sleeps. Miss Pat ton claims she was shocked when she saw how the girls were masked and the way they smoked cigarettes. Miss Patton's stories are quite true, but she -has drawn to the public a picture of conditions that are quite out of the ordinary. If the Chicago American, the world's greatest labor cruehing sheet, is trying to find out where the bad conditions exist, let them send Miss Flo Patton up to the Lake Shore drive. She will find the conditions up there fare worse than any of the pubjic dance halls. N - She will find that the sasslety rInmfiR nan smoke and tret so st.nnM. ly drunk that they have to be es corted to tneir nomes in a taxi, rnese so-called investigators dare not loiter around any of those swell functions on the North Shore. Wm. Randolph Hearst doesn't care to create any scandal by writing up these swel people in his paper.

The reason you or I couldn't at tend one of these social teas is that it costs $2 a plate, $3 a couple. That's why we have to cater to these low and vicious dance halls that cost a quarter of a dollar. The only way to improve conditions is to get be hind theseXcorporations run by Hearst, Loeb, Schwab, Rosenwald and the packing house czars such as Armour, Swift, Artie Meeker and Nelson Morris.

I would like to tell the readers of The Day Book and Mr. Jacobsori that I have studied a little along the same line and am about to publish a booklet on the value-and use of "vital forces" James Allen says that thoughts are things. In my humble mind I have satisfied myself that thoughts things are only part of great stores of vital forces which serve all living and all life. These vital forces may be trans former into thoughts, ideasfi feelings or impulses to actions by a human being. One who sleeps gats rested be cause it puts a certain strain and wear on the system to receive, trans form and utilize vital forces which is not done during the sleep. Of course, diiring the sleep some vital forces are used the breath and heart-beats are continuous and the dreaming utilizes some vital forces. During the work the body is mov ing according to the dictation or im pulses of the vital forces. Utter- ances of or resting vital forces are transformed, so that one's action mind and action impulses will be suf ficient. Our system gradually renews, good or bad, attractive, repulsive, sweet or sour, brutal or kind, according to
