AGE AND WEIGHT FIGURE
Aspersions Cast Upon Amusement
by J. Hartley Manners Draw
IT! re of Rioted Persons.
THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, MAItCII 8, 1922
NEW YORK, March 1. (Special.)
Is jazz a pleasant, harmless form of
athletic sport, or is it a moral menace
to the nation? That one's opinion
varies according- to one's age is the
assertion, of several prominent New
.Yorkers.
jonn .feaie tsisnop, managing- editor
t Vanity Fair, says:
"Jazz is too loud and too brutal to
t anything but chaste. Suggestive
music must be soft, insinuating.
Nevertheless, I believe that for per
sons more than 40 or weighing more
than 200 pounds it is not only im-
that ultra-sophistication which de
mands a return to primitive forms in
art. One might call it a 'bowlderiza
tion of this tendency. As to the imi
tating of Wilde and Dowson by the
youth of America, according to Mr.
Hartley Manners, I should say that
this is impossible. No one imitates
Dowson, because there are no bar
maids in America. No one imitates
Wilde, because epigrams are too
easy."
Jan Blatant or Delicate.
Miss Ruth Dean, landscape archi
tect: "I think of two distinct' sorts of
jazz. There is the blatant, crushing
roar of Rrnari w V 1flxz. whinh -fiends
you straight back into the. arms of
the Methodist church, and there is a
rather more delicate adaptation of it.
emanating perhaps from a distant i
conservatory, which may or may not
have a seductive influence. At least
It must be taken in diluted form to
have charm."
Princess Bibesco, wife of the Rou
manian ambassador to the United
States, Hotel Ambassador:
"I like Jazz enormously in a revue
called 'Shuffle Along,' because the
negroes have such a glorious sense
of rhythm. ' But in the ballroom the
waltz is more beautiful, because it
demands less of its performers. Jazz
In the ballroom is caricatured and
made uclv. I should rail it not mor
ally wrong but physically a pity."
Pew Recognise Real Jaix.
Deems Taylor, music critic of the
World: j
"How many people really know i
what jazz is?. By jazz they mean
anything played on a saxaphone. In
the old days jazz referred not to the
music itself, but to the way it was
played. A negro band would take
'Home, Sweet Home" or 'Annie Laurie'
and the trombonist would fake a bass,
the clarinet would blast his instru
ment until it squawked and the drum
mer would do Swedish calisthenics
with the traps. I suppose 'Buddie
Vernon Castle's 'Watch Your Step'
company, was the original jazz
Bound.
John , V.v A. 'Weaver, literary critic
or the Brooklyn Eagle:
"I think jazz is a great thing.
ling a wicked hoof myself. Ragtime
Is a first - hand experience of the
American spirit, and I am down on
those who condemn it as immoral."
Herman Billstein, sophomore. Co
lumbia university:
"Jazz is one of the best little
energy killers I know. And you will
find that more people have a healthy
attitude about it than not. The age
of lounge lizards and muff hounds is
Intelligence Held Insulted.
Carl Park Penny, Alpha Delta Phi
Club:
"Hartley Manners didn't write 'The
National Anthem' because he doesn't
believe In jazz, but because he is a
clever advertising man and knows
the possibilities of news value. He
has insulted the intelligence of real
thinkers by attempting to moralize as
a cure for a so-called evil. .
"Clare Sheridan's statement that
she went direct to a jazz hole after
the performance was the most puis
eant indictment of Manner's play that
Be could possibly have received.
"The way to bring the public to
the right way of thinking is to make
a complete change instead of pointing
out morals.- Let Manners and these
other so-called American playwrights
(excepting O'Neill, of course) write
dramas depicting the aesthetic side
of life. '
Alluring Music Defended.
"If Shakespeare, Moliere and Cor
iiellie are not popular, let Mr. Man
ners and others make their work in
telligible to the masses. If jazz is
considered a base form of music and
a demoralizing influence on the
young, have the prominent men in
the city find a way to provide good
music for 51 instead of Sd a seat.
"Jazz expresses the effervescence,
the exuberance, the vitality, the
Tirileness and the physical perfection
of the American race. The -public
wants something that pleases some
thing it can enter, into and comprej
"We quote from Shelley:
Music to hear, why hearest thou
music sadly?
Sweets with sweets war not; Joy
delights in joy." "

Ijegion Post After Members.
PRINEVILLE, Or., March 7. (Spe
cial.) John Dobry, ' commander of
Crook county post, American Legion,
has been canvassing his territory dur
ing the past week in an effort to in
crease the membership of the post.
Crook county post was one of the
posts which did not show an increase
of membership but this is due to
the fact that at the time the post
was organized lanjr of the men who
joined were here working on the
Ochoco dam and have since moved
away and entered other posts.

twins and some triplets.
HOOD RIVER, Or., March 7. The
current issue df the ' Pacific
Power & Light company's bulletin,
a publication issued by ' the public
service corporation supplying mid-
Columbia and eastern Oregon and
Washington points with electric
energy, contains the following sketch,
written by B. H. Snow, local manager
oi tne power concern: ,
The other night a 100-kva. 6600
2300-v transformer burned out at
Powderdale. The transformer was
working with two others of its kind
between the 6600 and 2300-v busses
at that station. The burnout caused
a short outage on our entire dis
tribution system, until the bank could
be cut loose from the 2300-v bus,
when service was restored to the
city on the 2300-v circuit. Some time
later when we got the defective
transformer cut loose and the other
two connected in open delta we were
able to restore service to the 6600-v
country feeders.
"About this time the beavers that
bothered us a year ago, which we
tolled by logging off their homestead.
began work in a slightly different
location and felled a tree through
our Parkdale line, throwing that com
munity out or service for one night.
The next day the writer recounted
the trouble to a local editor. He
featured the beaver story in his own
A new method of cleaning has brought
prettier teeth to millions. Also cleaner, safer
teeth.
You see the results wherever you look.
Teeth now glisten which before were dim.
They show in smiles now where folks once
concealed them.
This is to tell you the reason, then to urge
that you make a free test.
They remove the film
These millions have gained whiter teeth
by simply combating film in this new way.
Film is that viscous coat you feel. It clings
to teeth, gets between the teeth and, stays.
The ordinary tooth paste does not effec
tively combat it The tooth brush, therefore,
has left much of it intact
Film absorbs stains, making the teeth look
dingy. Film is the basis of tartar. That is
why teeth become cloudy and discolored
And some teeth like smokers' teeth be
come badly stained. "
Film holds food substance which ferments
and forms acids. It holds the acids in contact
with the teeth to cause decay.
Germs breed by millions in it. They, with,'
tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. !
Thus most tooth troubles are now traced
to film. Those troubles have been constantly
increasing for lack of a proper film com
batant Now you can fight it
Dental science, after long research, has
found two ways to fight film. Many careful
tests have proved their efficiency. Authori
ties now advise them, and leading dentists,
half the world over are urging their adoption.
A scientific tooth paste has been perfected
to comply with modern requirements. These
two film combatants are embodied in it. So
one may now attack that film twice a day at
home.
The name of that tooth paste is Pepsodent,
Other new effects
The saliva contains two great tooth-protecting
agents. One is a starch digestant
That is to digest starch deposits on teeth be
fore they ferment and form acids. The other
is alkali, to neutralize the acids which cause
tooth decay.
Certain food elements will multiply those
tooth-protecting factors. But modern diet ,
often fails to supply those elements regu
larly. Authority, therefore, desires the tooth
paste to apply that stimulation twice a day.
Pepsodent does that It multiplies both
the starch digestant and the alkalis in the
saliva. Every application gives these natural
tooth-protecting agents many-fold effects.
Means a new dental era
Old-time tooth pastes, based on soap and
chalk, depress these factors in saliva. They
reduce this tooth-protecting power on which
so much depends. And they do not end the
.film.
So Pepsodent brings a new dental era to
people who employ it It brings five desired
effects which old ways do not bring. So mil
lions of people have come to adopt it, largely
by dental advice.
