FRAT MEN FIT PUMPS TO
BLUSHING CO-ED'S FEET
SHOES Piled in Middle of Dancing
Floor After the Girls Are Pcrs,iad-
ed to Part With Them

Lawrence, Kan.-There is no place
in the catalogue dance steps of the
social set in Kansas university for
the turkey trot or the bunny hug. But
one of the fraternities has evolved
something new--the Cinderella dance
At recent party the lights were
dimmed suddenly. Each girls escore
politely asked her to remove her dane
ing pumps At first there We're pro-
testations and 1t was several minutes
before dainty silk-stockinged feet
We're being tucked under silk skirt
of half hundred party dresses and
each blushing girl was watching the
men pile their dancing slippers in a
heap in the middle of the polished
floor.
Then the lights were turned up
not a foot in sight only occasionally
the suggestion of a toe protruding
from beneath a skirts fold. The men
took places about the four sides of
the room and waited. The orchestra
struck up a lively walt, there was a
rush on the part of the men and the
next instant they landed bootball
fashion upon the heap of dancing
pumps.
In due time each man emerged from
the mass grasping a shoe. 1t was
mated with those left in the shattered
pile in the middle of the floor and the
men set out, just as the unhappy
prince of the fairy tale, each to find
his Cinderella. The stockinged feet
and dainty ankles were at last dis
played. Each man fitted a shoe to
the foot of its owner and claimed her
as his partner for the dance.
once more lights were dimmed. the
waltz music was played more softly
and the dancing-no matter the step
began.
The innovation has not yet been
sanctioned by the faculty or the stu
dent government association.

Idaho to Roosevelt so long as there
Is a chance for him to win, but to

apparent such a movement can be
made effective.
The Lincoln county convention in

L. OF o. UNDISPUTED
BASKETBALL CHAMPS

Eugene, Ore.-By defeating the
University of Washington basketball
team, the University of Oregon has
annexed the championship of the
northwestern conference colleges.
oregon has played ten conference
games, winning eight, which being the
hlghest number won by one team,
ives her the undisputed right to the
championship. o. A. c. comes second
on the list raving seven victories and
two defeats to her credit Out of a
total of eleven games Washington has
won only seven, thus placing her far
down the list from the winning team.
1t has been a custom long in exist
ence in the northwest college confer
ence leagues as well as in all profess
sional baseball leagues to count in the
percentage only those games regular

gins, thus preventing a weak team

COMMITTEE SPLITS
ON PANAMA TOLLS

Washington, March 1S.-Accom-
panied by a lengthy report, the Pan
anna canal bill was reported out of
the committee on interstate COM
merce and will be followed early this
week by the minority report. AS the

ted To glimpse at the majority report
as ii emerged from the committee,
Representative Knowland asked and
was granted five days in which to pre-
pare a minority report declaring for
free tolls for American coastwise ship
ping.
AS 4 matter of fact, two minority
reports will be made
The committee bill as reported
bears out the forecast made during
the past few weeks. 1t provides for
a maximum toll of 81 25 for all ships,
with minimum sufficient to pay the
operating expenses of the canal. Pro-
vision is made against railroad inter
ests of any kind in ships plying
through the canal.
The majority reports make an ell
aborate defense of the provision in
