Censor Fox Trot? Never!
It Keeps Flapper Sle
A "Delayed Resolution"
In Music Thins Stoutest When Taken With New Dances
New York City—Too fat? Lots of people are—but not many have the thrilling experience of Fanny Watson, who awoke one morning to find herself getting thinner and getting paid for it.
Fanny does a stunt with her sister in vaudeville, and of course she's always adding new quirks and turns to her act. The other day she—but let her tell it.
"Of course I knew I was too fat," she admits frankly, "but I was lazy lot of women. I hated exercise and I loathed dieting. So I went on my sugary, near-obese way until that glad morning when my dress bands began to overlap and I had the merry whim to get weighed. Maybe you won't believe it, but as near as I could figure. I had lost ten pounds in two weeks!
Finds Reducing Painless
"I wasn't going into a decline, that was evident, for I looked and felt better than I had for ages, but I consulted a doctor anyway and he explained the whole thing.
"It was my new act, a burlesque fox trot to 'Stealing' sung by my little sister, Kitty. I say 'burlesque' but I really mean exaggerated because there was nothing burlesque about the effort I put into my trotting, and according to the doctor, that effort was literally 'stealing' away my pounds."
CRITICISM OF ARMY NAVY TICKET SALE
NEW YORK, Dec. 11—Chicago University students opposed the suggestion that a big stadium be built at the university to accommodate the crowds that want to see inter-collegiate football in that city. The attitude was taken that present facilities were sufficient to accommodate the students of the university and that Chicago was not playing football for the public.
Harvard, Yale and Princeton refuse to place tickets on public sale for the "Big Three" games, on the grounds that the public is not entitled to see the games and until the alumni has been taken care of. Harvard, Yale and Princeton cannot be criticised as they are perfectly within their rights in maintaining that their own should be accommodate first and it is known that the demands of their own alumni are far greater than the supply of tickets.
Chicago also may be right in considering that football is not conducted there for the public although it exercises and I loathed dieting. So I went on my sugary, near-obese way until that glad morning when my dress bands began to overlap and I had the merry whim to get weighed. Maybe you won't believe it, but as near as I could figure. I had lost ten pounds in two weeks!
Delayed Resolution De
"'You cover a mile and a in every twenty minutes trot,' he explained, 'and have a song with a constant ring delayed resolution, you a certain agitation that keeps constantly on the go all you're dancing.'
"Well, I never heard of resolution before, but 'Steal it all right. We tested it Everytime Kitty starts: 'Stealing, stealing, with you appealing. There's a tender feeling heart for you!"

Harvard, Yale and Princeton cannot be criticised as they are perfectly within their rights in maintaining that their own should be accommodate first and it is known that the demands of their own alumni are far greater than the supply of tickets.
Chicago also may be right in considering that football is not conducted there for the public although it may be taken by some as rather snobish in ignoring the fact that the public is becoming vastly interested in football.
Private and semi-private institutions have every right to make arbitrary measures for the regulation of their sports, but when public and government institutions assume "the public be damned" attitude, the public has a right to rise on its rears and paw the air.
Distribution of the tickets for the recent Army-Navy game in Philadelphia reached almost the point of a scandal that should receive some attention from Washington. West Point and Annapolis cannot take the stand that their annual football game is a private affair. They do not play at West Point and Annapolis, but make a play for public patronage by playing in the largest stadium available.
In the new Pennsylvania stadium 10,000 more seats were available than were provided at the Polo grounds for the inter-service game last year and yet the tickets were scarcer than ever. Few except scalpers had tickets in Philadelphia. Where thousands of football fans were ready and willing to pay the face value for the tickets, they had to go to Bellhops, chauffeurs and newsboys for tickets and pay as much as $15.00 to $25.00 for them. The point in question is—if all kinds of scalpers were able to get the tickets, why was the public not given the same opportunity?
Several prominent newspapers and news associations in New York and Philadelphia, which at least deserve courtesy for the columns and columns of news space devoted to the game, wrote to West Point and Annapolis to buy tickets and they were not even given the courtesy of an answer. Editors who
CHURCHES TELL OF WORK THIS YEAR
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9- The glory of the work of united Protestant churches of America during the last twelve months will be told at the annual meeting of the executive committee of the Federal Council of Churches at Indianapolis, Dec. 13-15. It will be astory of triumphs and failures, of achievements and disappointments. Official representatives of 30 great communions with more than 20,000,000 members will attend. Other churches will be represented by visitors.
Church leaders regard the last year as one of the most successful in the history of religion in this country. The statistics published show that the war losses have been overcome by practically all religious bodies and that great gains in membership have been made. The finances of the churches in spite of the business depression have improved wonderfully.
A great forward movement has been started towards the Christian ideal of an eventually "warless world" to be attained step by step. The conference on the Limitation of Armament at Washington is regarded as showing the way. On the other hand, the failure of America to take part and to cooperate in international affairs is regarded as one of the great losses. Practically all of the Protestant churches are working for international cooperation.
The churches have been very active in behalf of Russian and Near East Relief. Much help has been extended to the Protestant bodies in Europe. The Near East situation is regarded as critical and the Government since the destruction of Smyrna has been urged to take a more active part in bringing about the protection of religious minorities and permanent peace in the Near East.
Remarkable progress has been made in evangelism. The development during the last few months along these lines has been in the cooperation of the various churches cooperating in the Federal Council's Commission on Church and Social Service have sought to secure the adoption of the principles of Christ in modern
Delayed Resolution Does It
"You cover a mile and a quarter in every twenty minutes you fox root," he explained, 'and if you have a song with a constantly recurring delayed resolution, you'll get a certain agitation that keeps you constantly on the go all the time you're dancing.'
"Well, I never heard of delayed resolution before, but 'Stealing' has it all right. We tested it to see. Everytime Kitty starts:
'Stealing, stealing, with your eyes appealing.'
There's a tender feeling in my heart for you'

"My friends say I'm the luckiest woman in the world. Instead of torturing myself to get thin, I draw my salary for painless reductions."

Remarkable progress has been made in evangelism. The development during the last few months along these lines has been in the cooperation of the churches in conducting evangelistic campaigns directed by the local pastors and church members. The most notable of these campaigns was in Chicago where there were 37,000 accessions to the churches. The keynote is "Interpreting the Gospel to the Modern Man."
This cooperation is only one of many forms of united practical Christianity in the larger cities. It is being extended to the smaller cities and rural communities. Leaders find that the churches working together can do what they cannot do alone.
Many outstanding men believe that the crisis has come in the temperance movement. The Commission on Temperance will present a report under the topic: "Prohibition on Trial; What is the Verdict?"
The race problem has been taken up in a constructive way. A Commission on Inter-Racial Relations, with white and negro secretaries and members, has been organized. The leaders come chiefly from the South. These men believe that the only solution of the race problem is practical Christianity.

Service departments of the Cooperation in its Commission on Service have adopted Christ in modern have criticised its work but marked progress has been made in securing the acceptance of Christian principles in industry.
A more adequate program of Christian education through cooperation has been planned. This has been regarded as one of the weak points of church work in this country.
