In Chicago alone the associa tion's representees have traced the (ail ot 1,000 girls in the last two years to jazz music.

"Dancers violently threw their arms around each other, fre quently assuming Immoral pos tures. Lights were lowered and to the strains of syncopated music actions that are indescribable took place.

Parrow says it is the duty of parents, churches and schools to know the manner In which the young people are dan cing and, having learned this, they should enlist in a movement for wholesome, normal music and clean dancing.
