are the forerunners of gloom and disaster"; "a section of the community whose life consists of cocktail and sherry parties, cabarets and midnight revelries”— These were denounced recently as "danger to the State" by the Rev. Ensor Walters, the Methodist preacher, in hig presidential address at the Methodist Con- gress at Newcastle-on-Tyne.

FLAUNTING VULGAR LUXURY

He contrasted the victims of unemployment- underfed children, weary women, and broken men -with "the ostentatious and vulgar luxury which often flaunts itself in the West End of London.

"Let these peopic be warned," he said. "For we live in stern times. Every patriot must seek to build a community based on brotherhood and humanity."

All complacency should be banished, he con- tinued, in face of the surging tide of mater- ialism, the prevalence of a new paganism, and the breakdown of the Lord's Day.

The title of the address was "The

Church Methodist

at the Cross Houds," and the speaker pleaded for the adventurous spirit of Methodism in its greatest dnys.

SOCIAL POLITICS NO CURE "If." he said, "e substitute for fellowship and for the spiritual

meeting, theatrical prayer and class me displays and worldly entertainments, and turn our churches into social clubs, our days may be numbered.

"Not right' or "Hell, but straight forward is the only policy for our Church," he declared.

Eighteen months ago her dreams were suddenly shattered.

She stumbled over an iron "sill" at a stage entrance during a performance of "Jill Darling" and broke her arm.

When the plaster was removed she could not move her arm. Her career as a dancer was ended.

To-day Ina Scarlett is acting as "stand In" for the star whom one day she hoped to rival;

Girl In Green Pyjamas

Shot Dead In Storm

New York, Aug. 15.

Recently I found Miss Searlett on the set at the Gaumont British Studios, Shepherd's Bush, wistfully watching Jessie Matthews dance in "Head Over Heels," the film she is now making, says a Film Correspon- dent.

I asked her if it was true that she would never dance again.

"Quite true," she said. "1
