Briton Fears Consequences of
Lowering of Woman's Modesty
Through Employment.
London, Sept. 24. (I. N. S.) A
gloomy view of England's woman
hood is taken by the Rev. F. B.
Moyer, who has been preaching a
series of sermons on the subject. In
an Interview printed in the Dally
Express he says:
"I do not fear a food shortage, nor
labor troubles. But I do tear the con
sequences of a lowering of women's
modesty." The country is in' real danger.
The present fashions show a total dis
regard for everything we have pre
viously looked on as noble In woman
hood. I
"Nor is it only in 'dress that women
show a marked deterioration. They have
become coarsened in their manners by
their association with men workers. The
language of the girls In the subways
and on the omnibuses is becoming awful.
They have not only adopted the man
ners and language of men, but have
surpassed men In vulgarity.
"It seemed that the women have de
veloped among themselves a third sex
which is neither masculine nor feminine.
It is a compound of the worst elements
of both."

To hear the real Caruso, the real Galli-Curci, the real Alma
Gluck, the real Kreisler to hear all the greatest artists of the
world in your own home just as they want you to hear them, it
is as necessary that you should have a Victrola as that you should
have their Victrola Records.
" The Victrola and Victor Records are scientifically coordinated
and synchronized in the processes of manufacture, making it
necessary to use them together to achieve a perfect result. The
greatest singers and instrumentalists are exclusive Victor artists
not only because their interpretations are so faithfully recorded
on Victrola Records, but because the Victrola is the one instru
ment that plays them with the degree of perfection and beauty of
tone that meets the approval of the artists themselves.
When you play Victrola Records on the Victrola and only
on the Victrola you really hear these great artists exactly as they
themselves heard and approved their own work.
Hear the world's greatest artists on the Victrola today at any Victor dealer's. He will
gladly play any music you wish to hear. Victors and Victrolas $12 to $950.
