IOWA GIRLS PLACE
BAN ON hSPOON-
ING" DANCING.

IOWA CITY. Ia, April 29-No more
''spooning'' in the dark at the big formal
parties at the University Of Iowa. The
Pan-Hellenic association formed of the
four Greek letter sororities has put a
ban on the dark Dances" and hereaft-
err no longer will the slow. dreamy
waltzes be played with the halls i'll semi
darkness or worse.
The sorority girls at 4 secret meeting
of the council on last Monday evening
passed the rule. The agitation has been
brewing for some time, but the official
action was not taken until this week.
1t was FASTENED by the last Pan-H ellenic
party, which was marked by a half dOz-
en- sentimental dances with practically
only the orchestra lights to keep the
couples from pumping into each other.
For some time the anti-socety faction
of the faculty has been Mortified by the
exhibitions" during these sO-called dark
dances.
The dark dance came into vogue four
years ago at the university and has be-
come very popular. Every formal party
has been marked by five to ten of these
numbers. The usual lighting is ordnari-
ly turned out and the hall left with as
little illumination as possible.

ARGUE LIQUOR BILL
FRIENDS AND FOES OF GOTHEN-
BURG SYSTEM HEARD.

MADISON, Wis, April 90 Spe-
cial predictions of lively debate be-
fore the Assemly committee on state af-
fairs yesterday afternoon were fulfilled
when that committee got down to work
W. IL. Austin and G. A. a. MCGEE of
Milwaukee, representatives of the brew
ers and wholesale liquor men, were there
to argue for their side while Z. @.
Humphrey of the Wisconsin-Anti-Salo
league and Herman L. Ekern, chief ad-
vocate Of the GOthenburg system, were
on hand to fight for their side of the
historical question.
Mr.. Ekern, who as lower house mem
Der of previous sessions, stood for the
bill which he backs at this session. made
the first speech in advocacy of the sys
TEN patterned after that of Sweden. He
upheld it in a speech full of statistics.
When he got through Mr.. MCGEE took
the floor and argued against the meas
ure, bringing to the front new figures
and statistics to show the other side of
the system upheld by Mr.. Ekern. He
quoted from the handbook of the Pro
hibitiOnistS to show that they had made
an adverse report on the GOthenburg syS-
tenn. He pointed to the failure of the
dispensary III South Carolina and said
that the same disastrous results would
obtain in Wisconsin if Mr.. Ekerns bill
became a law. Mr.. MCGEE was followed
by Mr.. Austin, who made brief speech.
Both Mr.. McGee and Mr.. Austin
spoke in favor of the Austin bill which
provides Il state board of revocation,
this board to have power to revoke IL
cenSes of any saloon keepers in any part
of the state where they are found to be
violating the law as set down in exist
ing statutes.
Mr.. Humphrey made speech in
which he argued against both bills and
at one turn in the address Of the prOhi-
bition workers he entered into Il lively
colloquy with Mr.. Austin.

The vets had the backing of the city
officials, and it is alleged that the entire
police force was out in plain clothes
working for the liquor interests. Many
of the dry watchers at the polls were
arrested on patched up charges and kept
in prison for the greater part of the
day.
The sheriff of the county came to the

ADANA, Asiatic Turkey, Saturday,
April 24.-The emergency hospitals es-
tahlished here contain 300 patients suf-
fering from wounds, many of whom are
women. The average number Of wounds
to each patient is four. There is great
and immediate need for food and medi-
cal supplies. Practically the entire Ar
menian population of Adana, $1,000 peo-
pie, is homeless, without bedding or
clothing, and the food supply i'll the
shops are exhausted.
Some Of the wounded Armenian wom-
Ell have told Miss Wallace, an English
nurse who is caring for them, that they
were shot by the Moslems because they
screamed when they saw their husbands
killed before their eyes. Many Arme-
MAN girls were carried off by the Turks
as booty. A large number of mutilated
bodies have been found III the houses OF
the city.

During the first five days of the dis

Of Adana kept the Turkish troops in gov

TO put a stop to the fighting, which could
have been done on the first day.
