Bettermen of Moral of '. . dalsencts. ., . , "It's -.not the bald-headed row that Is responsible for 'bad.. plays,' but the de-. hatted ; women,' V declared Prof. Shatter Mathews, dean ; of the Divinity ' school In the University of Chicago, In a con ference on ''Saving the City" this morn ing at the summer school and conference at the University of Omaha. f "Women support theaters; men go be cause women want them to. If the fed erated women's clubs .of; tle city would take a stand' against '.undesirable plays, you would be amazed how quickly the situation-would be reformed. ...You will never get the city. goverrnment to do It. The -city government wltt prevent an ob searij" play If it Is cheap, but let the $1.60 and 12 plays which are supported by the well-ta-do. go. . .. . "The shows which are disgustingly vul gar,., but which t out-and-out Indecent are vastly better than the alleged ar tistic -performances which are persistently, puiliitlngly, . unforgettingly suggestive. The vulgar carries its own antitoxin;' the respectable and low is ruination." Prof. Mathews declared that many city amusements are -not bad in themselves, but become sources of moral debilitation and lead, to flabbiness of ideals because people go in a bad attitude cof mind. The Modern Religion. "Let your, religion, run over into your amusements,", advised Prof. Mathews. He elsio took a rap at Jhe churches for tneir conventional religion.. He- declared that ministers were far in advance of congre gations In socializing religion and told tliat a woman fainted In his congregation because he suggested putting bowling al leys In the basement of the church. "Do leave an nnconsecrated place in the i basements of your churches with something of human interest for your boys' and girls," he urged. Prof. Mathews made a strong plea for Ctpea schools. He said they were a social asset not only in themselves, but in keep-' 1hg children from undesirable picture shows. ; . ';.-'' ; ;" "It is ludicrous that magnificent school buildings should be closed all summer while children are out on the streets. Keep playgrounds, at least, . open with something of educational value going on. I never could understand why the Amer ican people worship the little red school house and let their children go to the devil on the city streets." "- Supervise Dance Halls. At the afternoon conference Dr. Mathews took up the attitude of the church toward municipal affairs, dealing with the ques tions of supervision of dance ' halls and moving picture theaters. - . Several questions were 'raised ' on whether the churches themselves should own and operate moving picture houses, such as have been Inaugurated in New Tork City whether to operate them free, or to charge admission. He also advised communities where several . denomina tions are gathered in close radius to pay for the services of a nurse whose duties would be to care for the sick In board ing houses and flats who do not have rel atives or friends nearby. 1 the new view, and, 1 think, the correct view." Rev. Fred G. Paton, himself a distin guished missionary and son of the Illus trious Rev.' J. O. Paton of the New Heb rides, spoke. Dr. D. E. Jenkins acted as toastmaster. MATHEWS AT UNIVERSITY CT.tB As Gieit ol Honor at Luncheon Tells of Minister In Society. Dr. Shatter Matthews of the University of Chicago, one' of the eminent . Baptist theologians of the country, who spoke at the .University of : Omaha summer con-, ference Thursday night, was. the guest of honor at a luncheon at the University club today. He spoke briefly upon the vocational efficiency theological semin aries were seeking to.produce. "The time has come," he said, Awhen the minister must .be conceded as large a part In society as the police judge and when the seminaries must be acknowl edged as a legitimate factor In the eco nomic forces of society." . He spoke for a broad spirit of toler ation and unity among the church, fay ing: - . ; "The Protestant Churches have found after 400 years that they cannot argue themselves together, but now In the new era they find by trying it in places, that they can work together. ; "The cTiurch'was not prlmarly Intended to be theological," he said, "but primar ily religious, social,, moral. At least that To Banish Bad Eggs from State Markets 'Warnings have 'been sent out by the Food, Drug, and Dairy, commission of Nebraska to farmers and produce merch ants' that bad ' eggs are to be banished from the market. ' ' ' ' The notice states that the' egg market of Nebraska In. 1810 was valued at $19, 576,212 while with proper care and hand ling this figure could be Increased $5,000, 000 this year. ... - ' ': " ' ' The co'mmisslon'B . warning 'States that any person found set ling or-offering for sale bad., eggs may -be-prosecuted and fined not less than 150 nor more than $5C0 or serve time in the county Jail until the fine and costs of prosecution are paid. . . ... ,: . . .-. V v . ,r I Some ' suggestions .-ate . also given that farmer: "Provide plenty ;of 'clean. drv nests for,-your hens. Gather the eggs daily in tool weather and twice a uay sn hot of" rainy weather. Do not wash eggs. Use dirty and small eggs at home. Keep your eggs; In .a cool, dry place which is free from odors. - Don't sell eggs which have been In an Incubator. Market your eggs dally if possible; If not. every other day. Don't sell eggs found in a stolen nest. Keep the eggs out ; of the sun when taking them to town. Don't keep eggs near oil, onions, etc., as they readily absorb odors." SH0TWELL RETURNS v FROM SCENE OF BATTLE . Frank Shotwell, who has been In Chi cago for pearly a week, has returned as a courier from the front and reported that President Taft will be renominated. "President Taft will be renominated," said Mr. Shotwell. "It Is all over but the shouting. That's why I came home. Roosevelt is losing ground right along and the longer the vote is delayed the bigger Taft's majority will be." " Mr. Shotwell denied that while In Chi cago he posed as the original Nebraska Roosevelt man. . . .
