CLEVELAND, O., April 12.—In a
report read to the child welfaie de-
partment of the Cleveland Federation
cf Women's Clubs, R. G. Jones, su-
perintendent of schools, said immor-
tality is the greatest menace of the
public schools today and that the na-
tion is fast drifting toward free love
because mothers are not making good
on the jobs.
Dancing in Cleveland schools will be
barred entirely unless it is con-
ducted as a wholesome pleasure ami
entertainment for school pupils, he
announced.
"Indifference on the part of Par-
ents towards the activities of their
children is one of the greatest prob-
lems in immorality," Mr. Jones' re-
port continued. "It is up to the w'om-
en and mothers to live up to the high
standards of morality and home life
Unless there is a greater feeling of
morality, I fear the community and
nation will embrace free love."
The situation in Cleveland s high
schools, Superintendent Jones assert-
ed, particularly was aggravated by the
extreme dressing on the part of many
girls, by night rides in automobiles
and "close" dancing at school parties
"Too many young people are dress-
ing beyond their means and are think-
ing too much of silk hosiery, low
necked waists, short skirts, rouge
and powder," the report said.
Clarke took no part, the court held
that the south bank of the Red river
n ust be taken as the true boundary
between Texas and Oklahoma, from
the southwestern corner of the latter
state to the point where the river
crosses the 100th meridian of longi-
tude. More than 1,000 miles of bound-
ary were permanently fixed by the
decision.
The court based its findings specifi-
cally on tha terms of the treaty signed
in 1819 between the United States
and Spain, which "consummated the
Louisiana purchase." That held, af-
firming its own decision in the case of
the United States vs. Texas, set the
south bank of the Red river as the
true boundary.
Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Coppoek left
for Ludlou Falls, Ohio. Word was
received Monday of the death of Mrs.
Coppock's mother, Mrs. A. J. Coate.
M. Godsehalk and Sam Hirsch left
Tuesday morning for Chicago on a
buying trip for the Meibergen-(.od-
schalk store.
Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Bickel have
returned from Shawnee, Oklahoma^
where they were sent from the local
-rove as delegates to the Woodmen
Circle state convention held there last
week. During the convention the en-
tire state ticket was elected by the
insurgents, and Mrs. Bickel was made
chairman of the state managers.
