Shame and Sin The Rev. Father J. C. Thompson, rector of St. James' Catholio Church, Steeiton, has condemned the tango, hesitation and the other so-called modern dances. Father Thompson recently ad dressed a short talk to the young peo ple of his church in which he advised them to refrain from indulging: in any of these dances. Vsing for his theme, "The Modern Dances." he character ized the tango as "the Devil's bait" and asserted that there was little doubt that the modern dances are indecent. Quoting Bishop McGavick. of Chi cago, the Rev, Father Thompson said: " "There is an epidemic of im purity which has grown and spread in the last few years. This epidemic is shown particularly in the modern dances—dances which are merely imitations of the animals. They have descended to that to the animals and worse. The special dance, over which the world seems to have gone mad. is a dance of sin. It comes front the haunts of sin and the houses of infamy. its history is a history of sin." Father Thompson said to-day: "While we never saw the new "Devil's bait' for souls, called tango • which is I.atin for 'T touch'), but having made some inquiries, t\ e find I that the concensus of opinion is that i the tango is immoral, indecent and vile and no decent woman would in- ! dulge in it under any circumstances." j Serum Makes Goats Give Greater Quantity of Milk Bv Associated Press Tthaca, X.
