I— LEN POLICE
REDUCE MENACE
. OF DANCE HALLS
Make Extensive Study of De
linquent Children, Says
Report.
Miss Clara Burnside, supervisor or the
women’s bureau of the Indianapolis po
lice department, today declared that the
public dance hall menace as far as young
girls are concerned has, to a large ex
tent, been removed.
In a report just compiled Miss Burn
side declares that delinquent children
have been the subject of extensive study
and Investigation by the police women.
Lack pf parental control, It was oft/ *
found, fe usually the causes of delin
quency among children
“The result of the work at the public
dance halls has been gratifying,” says
Miss Burnside. “In* the main the mem
bers of the department have had excel
lent co-operation with the mane cement
and as a result little serious trouble has
arisen. Although the suggestive nature
sos some of the popular dances renders
constant supervision necessary, there has
been a big improvement in this respect
over conditions last year.”
Police women assigned to the dance
halls have prohibited girls under the age
of 18 from attending the dances without
a cbu. -on. Girls who appear without
chaperons are usually taken to their
homes and the inevitable results of such
practices are brought to the attention of
their parents or guardians.
With reference to the work of police
women In regard to theaters, the re
port says the women found it neces
sary In some instances to request that
vulgar songs and acts be omitted from
the programs In some of the theaters.
This was done, it wus said, without any
serious protest by the managements. Ex
cellent co-operation in this kind of work
was received from the board of indorsers
of motion pictures for juveniles, the re
port said.
“Conditions that have arisen in some
of the local restaurants have been most
objectionable,” the report reads. “These
places have become the meeting places
for men and girls and In this respect
have taken the places of some of the old
wine rooms. Strict supervision has been
maintained over these places and in some
cases arrests have been made.”
The report says that some excellent
resnltß were accomplished in the summer
by the supervision of policewomen over
conditions at the amusement parks. Al
though the problems confronting the
women were many and serious, there was
a noticeable Improvement over the condi
tions of the former year, according to the
report.
"With the end of the war, many of
the problems involving soldiers have
been eliminated,” the report continues,
“but there has followed a serious moral
condition with which we ere constantly
confronted. The public attitude toward
the soldiers destroyed all reserve and
convention and created a familiarity and
lack of restraint which still exists among
girls and some of the former service
men.”

Way to Prevent
Bushy Eyebrows
Bushy eyebrows may be prevented by
the teaching of a simple habit in child
hood. When a child first learns to wash
his own face he should be taught to
wash one side of the face at a time, al
ways washing away from the nose. This
allows the eyebrows to grow correctly
and gives them a well-cared-for look.

WHY THE ASH TREE SHIVERED.
NANCY AND NICK heard a sigh overhead and as they looked up the
leaves of the ash tree beside them began to shiver and shake.
“What’s the matter, old tree?” asked Nancy, patting its sides. “Are
you sad because we can’t find Jocko? Or are you trying to tell us you’ve
seen him?”
The tree looked down at them, but merely shook his leaves agaimand
made no reply. The magical nr, broom seemed to know all about it, how
ever. "That’s a selfish old fellow,” it said. “He doesn’t feel sorry for
anybody but himself. He hasn’t a friend left.”
“I’ll be his friend,” said Nick, quick l ' crambling up into a low branch
with the held of his little green shoes. Nancy followed, declaring that she
would, too.
All the time the old ash tree was shivering dreadfully, as though he
had a chill.
“What’s the matter, old tree?” asked Nancy, patting its sides.
“Are you sad because we can’t find Jocko?”
“There!” Insisted the mushroom. “Didn’t I tell you? He’s trying to
shake you off just as he has done all the birds and squirrels and even the
caterpillars. Why, that big Btone there used to be his closest friend, but
he kicked It away, too.”
Suddenly the tree began to speak In a queer, Jerky sort of a way. “1 —
I’m —not cross at all,” he said. “I—just love everybody, but you see l—
l’m ticklish. Wh—when anything touches me I have to shake.”
He couldn’t say anything more just then, for Nick squirmed a bit, and
the tree caught his breath and shivered. Finally he went on, “I didn't
kick the stone away, either. A mouse tickled my foot and I jumped, that's
all.”
“Poor old tree!” said Nancy. "I’ll tell everybody how nice you really
are.”
And the magical mushroom, away down in Nancy’s pocket, begged the
tree’s pardon several times, and said he was sorry.—Copyright, 1920.

ACTRESS TELLS SECRET
Tells How to Darken Gray Hair With
a Home-Made Mixture.
Joicey Williams, the well-known
actress, whb was recently playing at
the Imperial theater in St. Louis,
made the following statement about
gray hair and how to darken it:
“Anyone can prepare a simple mix
ture at home that will darken gray,
streaked or faded hair, and make it
soft and glossy. To a half-pint of
water add 1 ounce of bay rum, a
small box of Barho Compound, and
% ounce of glycerine.
"These ingredients can be bought at
any drug store at very little cost.
Apply to the hair twice a week until
the desired shade is obtained. This
will make a gray-haired person look
twenty years younger. It does not
color the scalp, is not sticky or greasy
and does not rub off.”—Advertifie-

CONFESSIONS
OF A BRIDE
Bob pulls me up to the
room again—the others
are gone.
“Call up that shaft, Bob! Whistle to
them! Shout!” I exclaimed.
It had us but a few minutes
to hasten through our long explanations,
nevertheless, I was appalled to th'nk
that we had wasted much valuable time.
Suddenly I realized that, after the fall
of the heavy wall panel which Spence
and Archer had battered down, not a
single sound had come from the friends
in the room high above us.
“Call up the shaft!” I cried again.
Bob whistled—l knew well the old
fraternity signal. ' But his brothers did
not return the whistle. Only a faint and
silly echo came back to our ears.
Then Bob cried, “Spence! Archer!
Chr/s!” In his far-carrying voice. The
words mocked us in a faint stage whis
per, “Spence! Archer! Chrys!” Then
silence ensued, an abominable, ominous
silence. It made tne cling closer to
Bob’s arm as we stood in the darkness
and listened.
“What has happened—up there?” T In
quired in awe.
Bob didn’t reply to that. "'lnstead, he
uskod u question of me:
“The hammering which went on while
you were screaming to stop 1t -you said
it wTis the pouiniing which caused your
little box of a closet to slide down into
my pit?”
“By inches—yes—Bob!” Then T rushed
on breathlessly, anew hope crowding
my thoughts so fast that my word;
were almost a Jumble:
“The cell it was like a little old elc
vator settling down by tits and starts.
.Something about the pounding seemed
to loosen small levers or stones or
course, I don’t understand. Bob, but
maybe the wall has little cogs, or steps
down the corners?”
“May be,” Bob admitted.
"Any possibility—probably—you cottlf
climb up the wall by means of them?”
“If I leave you—and make the attempt
—you will -not be afraid—down here—
all alone?”
“I’ll bo stiff with fright—almost
paralyzed,” I said. "But what difference
does that make? Go tip try it! There’s
a rope up there’V-T described the one
c’hrys and T had knotted from the couch
covers—“you can pull me up with it."
“Here’s the automatic, Jane,” Bob said,
placing the gun in my hand. “If any
thing happens to mo—if 1 should slip—
and fall—” He stopped. He did not
need to give me further directions.
“I understand, darling,” I whispered.
“If I fail, Jane dear, you wdlt not let
yourshelf starve? You will not live to
suffer? You will use the gun while you
have the strength to use It? Promise
me 1”
“1 F promise. Bob
“Kiss me,” he said. And when the
long ceremony was concluded, without
another word. Bob pushed his way on
through the broken roof of the closet.
I could hear his body scraping against
the wall. IJo was lifting his weight tip
the vertical shaft bjyeome heroic process
finally lie began to tell me about bis
progress.
“I’m making it," he called down to me.
“I’m making It Just as an Alpine clbnbc:
goes up a rock ‘chimney/ I am work
ing with my back as well as my hands
rnd feet. Gosh, I’m winning out, my
dear. It all comes back to mis—those
lessons In the Alps the first time Dad
took us boys to Switzerland. I’m a.
good as ever at It.”
And he was. Finally he spoke owe
more;
“Honey! I've got a hold on the beams!
I’m up! T'm safe, Jnne. And T see the
r<>p ladder you spoke of. I’ll shape
It Into a basket. But It on like a
breeches buoy.”
Down came one end of thg rope. 1
obeyed orders.
"Don’t tire yonrself, Jane, hr trying
to help. Just keep limit. Steady, dar
ling. I'll haul away when you say so/’
If my body was still and limp, my
senses were very much alive. I won
dered why my ears did not tell me
about Archer and the others.
After much hard labor, Bob lifted ni
from the knotted basket and carried n.e

IMPROVISATION
DEMONSTRATION
GIVEN BY HANSEN
Organist Entertains Musicale
Section With Talk and
Program.
The organ section of the Indianapolis
Matinee Musicale met Wednesday after
noon in the auditorium of the First Pres
bytytrian church, when Charles Hanse.a.
organist and teacher, gave a program
which was devoted to improvisations,
which is an art that Mr. Hansen has
brought to a high degree of proficiency
and which is an important part of an
organist’s musical education.
The program was preceded by a talk,
by Mr. Hansen in which he said there
were'three important points for the im
proviser to bear in mind; that the im
provisation should not violate any rule
of harmony with which the organist
should be familiar' that the organist
should know the standard organ music
of the master composers, and that they
should have a defiiUte purpose in mind
which should control the improvisation
and make it coherent.
The musical illustrations which fol
lowed included “Meditation,” a church
prelude; “Andantino,” for an offertory;
"Prayer.” nostlude: Improvisation on
the hymn, “Holy, Holy, Holy,” and a
grand chorus. Mr. Hansen's mastery of
the organ and organ composition was
much in evidence in these selections. The
program closed with Grieg's “Last
Spring.”
