Show I ARE GIRLS ON THE DOWNWARD TRAIL? Away back in Illinois, the state that contains tho great city of Chicago, they have a bad condition, if the truth j is told by Mrs. B. C Howell, secretary of the Illinois Vigilance association, who has completed a survey of fifty j towns to determine the moral status' of girls of the flapper age. How Mrs. Howell was able to get first hand information is not related,! but she claims to have discovered "petting parlies" in shadowy ways Now, what are petting parties" Are the so common as to have a name? They have moonshine revels. Well, all the poetry of all lands tellr. of lov- j trs and the yhining moon. Wonder tf Mrs Howell was denied a revel In! the light of the moon along a lover's! trail, when she was young. She must be old In order to safely hold the position po-sition of secretary of the Vigilance committee. Mrs. Howell reports ever? small town as allowing the wiggles, shim mles and hug dances Well, occasionally occasion-ally the hug dance is seen in Ogdec but the "buggers'1 are not typical of ogden young girl dancers, and every dancer who hugs is not bad or even evil minded, but every one who sees a "hugger" and thinks evil has loBt a measure of charity. Our opinion is that young girls everywhere ev-erywhere am better than they are rep resented to be by those who go around sniffing the air to catch th. odors of wrong-doing. |
