Arthur H. Lynch, chairman of tha executive committee, said that while WHN might have a le- gal right to use its brondeasting to ad- vertise for chorus girls, a serious ethieal question was involved, Mr, Lynch said his organization would take the view of the mothers that the home should not be invaded by pro- moters of theatrical yentures. Numerots women declared they were indignant when at the end of a concert, a volca suddenly demanded to know whether there were any young girls with trim figures and pretty faces who wanted to become chorus girls. “If there is anything that will bring on a censorship of the radio, it will be this very thing,” said one mother. “What mother with any solicitude for her daughter's welfare would permit a loud-voiced radio an- nouncer to appear in her parlor and invite the daughter to hecome a chor- us girl?” FIERCE FOREST FIRES Two Arrested For Starting California who have Blazes—Montana and Nevada Are Flame Swept, Ban’ Krancisco, July 12.—Two men were under arrest at Newhall, near Los Angeles and two others were being sought on charges of having started a forest fire which since Wed- nesday has swept thousands of acres of brush and timber in the Santa Bar- bara national forest, According to advices from the Ranger station at Newhall, those ar- rested were Mack Lewis and Joe En- glebrecht, teamers.

New York, July 12.—American race track men who have seen the ¥rench horse Iipinard since his arriva | generally agreed that the Ch four-year-old is not carrfng enough flesh to be at his best. It was ob- served that there were creases in his hips and his ribs showed rather plain. 1y, ‘making him secem deficient in muscles in the hind quarters, Epinard was worked out at Belmont Park today for his first ex- ercise on American soil in preparation for his series of three races in this country., Iugene Leigh, his trainer, admitted that Epinard was “a bit fine” because of his having been out of training for more than ten days. “He'll have to get off his sea legs | first,” said Leigh, “and the work at Belmont Park will be very light— perhaps a canter in the morning and a walk in the afternoon. We'll prob- ably go to Saratoga ahout the middle of the week and the air and water up there ought to do him a lot of good. I look for him to come to the top of | his form before his first race.” Epinard’s first rac at Saratoga, | will be a six-furlong sprint, probably on Labor Day. His second event will be a mile race at the Aqueduct track. The third will be a mile and a quar- | ter run at Latonia.
