Jazzy Music's Erotic
Influence Is Ruining
Girls, Says Reformer
By James I. Kilgallen
Chicago, Jan. 21. rMoral dis
aster Is coming to Hundred of
young American girls through
"th pathological, nerve-irritat
ing, sex-excltlng music ot Jazz
orchestras," according to the II
linols Vigilance Association
which has instituted a crusade to
grouse parents, churches and
schools to the danger to young
womanhood.
In Chicago alone the associa
tion's representees have traced
the (ail ot 1,000 girls in the last
two years to jazz music.
Girls In small towns, as well as
the big cities, in poor homes and
rich homes, are victims of tho
weird, . Insidious, neurotic music
that accompanies modern dancing
"The degrading music Is com
toion not only to disorderly places
1ut often to high school affairs,
to expensive hotels and to so
called society circles," declares
the Rev. Philip Yarrow, super
intendent of the Vigilance As
sociation, who has prepared a
preliminary report dealing with
the problem.
The report says that the vigil
ance society has no desire to
abolish dancing, but seeks to
waken the public conscience to
the present danger and future
consequences of jazz muBlc.
Referring to the 1,000 fallen
fclrls, the Iter. Yarrow's report
ays:
"The demoralizing part played
by jazz music and dancing In the
experience of these girls was re
repeatedly portrayed In their piti
ful stories. To observe the
final fruits of the jazz music
route ene must Visit a big dance
floor in Chicago's Second Ward.
Hera investigators for the Vigil
ance Association found the logic
al culmination of so-called 'mod
cm' music.
"Mid the distracting notes ot
the saxophone and the weird beat
of the tom-tom was witnessed
conduct not hitherto seen outside
the old red-light district. In
full view of the audience, which
Included many boys and girls ap
parently in their teens, couples
on the floor gave way to almost
every form of Indecency.
"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. This Is the full flow
erlng the fruition of the mod
ern erotic music, which has so
crazed and befuddled the moral
make-up of young people."
The Rev. 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.

20 Years Ago
Children Must Have
Vitamines In Food
Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 21. That
many children do not receive the
right kind ot food is the claim
made by Prof. J. R. Lyman, Ohio
State University.
"Malnutrition is common in all
parts of America and among all
classes," declared Prof. Lyman.
"A nutrition survey In a state
not far away from Ohio recently
revealed fifty-seven per cent of
the children getting enough to
eat, but only eleven per cent of
them getting food properly bal
anced to their nutritive require
ments. "The main deficiency was in
vltamlne-bearing foods, such as
vegetables, fruit and milk. Fail
ure to provide such food for grow
ing children leads to conditions
which differ only in degree from
those in the Balkan countries.
"There, as here, the principal
lack is in vitamines. There they
do not have such foods. Here
we do not seem to know how prop
erly to use wha we have."

A Square Deal to
Yourself and Others
JT is the squarest deal to all those you do

Such promptness causes good feeling. It makes

Give serious thought to the many reasons why
you can never afford to postpone or neglect just
bills.
