The Manless Dance.

The heelless shoe. the horseless
carriage, the smokeless cartridge. the
soulless corporation and other similar
modern devices now will have to
move over and make room for the
manless dance. Since the decision

more than two engagements a week
with men went into effect the Pan
Hellenic girls have taken TO manless
dances.
One of these functions, held at one
of the Sorority houses was most en-

of Toby's collar. Immediately the
lion, with a roar, made a leap at
Roth. swinging his paws. A dozen
or more attendants outside were
with long iron bars with which they
assailed the lion and barred his pro-
gress toward the trainer. Roth was
pinned up half way from either exit
and unable to get away because the
attendants from outside dared not
withdraw even one of the iron prongs
Time and time again the great
beast hurled himself in the direction
of Roth. only to be repulsed by the
iron bars. Some of these he brushed
aside as though they We're match
wood. but the minute he seized some
in his teeth or his paws others were
rammed against him and into his
body, giving Roth a chance to climb
up the bars al least some distance.
After twenty minutes of desperate
battle 1t was seen the brute could not
be subdued, and as Roth could not
gain the cage door and was III
momentary peril of his life, a rifle
was brought and Toby was killed.

dicted and arraigned at Little Valley,

four children, so that she might be
free to marry Frahm. Bunum died
August q. and one of the children,
Laura, still is critically i'll. The
others are slowly recovering. Frahm
and Mrs. Bufum pleaded not guilty
and were remanded to the county
Jail.
The alleged confession of Mrs. Buff
FUN. District Attorney Cole says. Is
TO the effect that the poison was plac-
ed in food prepared for the family
covering a period of more than a
month. If was in the form of horse
medicine containing poison.
Mrs. Buffum was brought from
Buffalo. and following her arrtign-
ment, was taken to the grand jury
room where. it is understood, she
gave evidence against Frahm which
resulted in his indictment an hour
later. Frahm had appeared before

NEWSoF The WEEK
Time Signals from the Eifel Tower


1t has now Deen definitely decided
that the Ethel Tower shall be used as
the center for the world time dis
tributicn scheme. The members of
the Time Conference held at Paris
recently adopted the statutes of the
international association. and fifteen
governments have "dhered TO these
statutes. il being expected that other
states will follow before long. The
new association is situated in Paris
and the wireless signals will go ont
from the Tower twice a day at the
determined hours. this correspond
ing to the Greenwich meridian as
corrected by observations tent here
by astronomers the world over The
posts all over the globe will receive
the time signals and will then tran
nit them within their Owl range. so
that in a very short space OF time
the hour will be known within one
hundreth of a second. Ships at sea
which receive the signals VIII know
their bearings within thirty feet.
The Tower will be '.internationalized'
for ten or twelve minutes every
twelve hours. or during the time
needed for the operations of the in
~ternational bureau. and during this
time IL cannot be made use of for
any other service, even for the gov
eminent. The choice of the Tower
was made because it is the best fitted
for the purpose among existing
stations. 1t is true that the Nord-
deich post which is being constructed
at the present time in Germany is
expected to have a higher power than
the French plant. but it is also
probable that the latter will be in
creased in power in the course of
time so as to maintain its present
leading position.

From Construction Gang to President

ffoHi 3phStA tao yang
Alfred II. Smith. the new presi-
dent of the New York Central, began
work as a messenger boy; then he
was in the office of the purchasing
agent. He left this to join a con-
struction gang, became foreman and
finally general foreman of the con-
struction work. Then he graduated
into superintendent and general
management. He began with no more
advantages than tens of thousands
of boys begin with every year, and
he has reached one of the greatest
positions in the railroad world. of
course, if all boys were equally ef-
ficient they could not all become rail
road presidents, for there are not
enough offices of that SORT to 60
around. But all the boys who show
ed the qualities of Smith got adj
vancment. The boys who are now
working in Offices may depend upon
that, and the opportunities will prob
ably be better 30 years hence than
they we're 20 years ago.-Philacei-

DIR. ELIOT TELLS HOW
TO WIN SUCCESS

DR.. I. l.. Eliot, pastor emeritus, Of
the First Unitarian church of Portland
and president of the board of trustees
of the Reed Institute, in an interview
with w. II. Warren, member Of the
Oregonian staff, tells in Sundays Ore
gonian how to win success. DR.. Eliot
is well known in Hood River, where
he has a summer home and business
property. The following phrases sum
up the advice as given by Dl. Eliot:
"Have high ideals and by patient
effort you will attain them.
Strive to make others happier and
better.
early marriage is all right if en-
tered into for the high purpose Of
making home and serving the race.
"lf you would be happy through a
long married life, be unseltish, make
mutual concessions and be religiously
consecrated.
"All science proves that stimulants
are a detriment to the growing body
and mind and no young man can be
truly successful and drink intoxicants
or smoke.
"a girl or boy cannot be successful
and neglect the home duties.
Cultivate all of your powers and
use them to bless others.
"a girl should be at all times
womanly and messenger Of faith
love and hope to mankind, to affair
her highest goal.

LECTURE SERIES
INTERESTS MANY

A large audience gathered at River
side church last Sunday night to hear
the first of the series of six lectures
offered by Pastor Harris on The So
ciai Problem" His subject was "How
the Other Half Lives" and illustrated
his talk with fifty stereopticon slides
furnished by the American Institute of
Social Service. New York. In intro
ducing his subject MIR. Harris said that
in reality there was no other half.
Humanity is an interger. One member
cannot suffer without effecting all the
rest, but he used the phrase as stand,
ing for the workers by the hand s dis
tinguished from those who worked by
the brain. He showed the condition of
labor among this class in the steel
mills, coal mines, transportation com.
panes, farms and sweatshops, and
dwelt at length upon the wages re-
ceived in these Industries and the
effects of labor organizations therein.
In closing he showed what had been
the accomplished in Elmyra reforma-
tory, New York, during the last thirty
years as being the possibilities of any
community in helping honest, industri-
GUS men to find themselves and have q
chance with men. He advocated the
passage~of a minimum wage law pro
hibitiug wages less than would support
life. The lecture was comprehensive
and very instructive.
The subject next Sunday will be
"Where the Other Half Lives" con
sidering the housing of our workmer
and contrasting the conditions in thi'
country with those of other lands. Th'
other subjects will be: Women ant
Children in Toll, " ''Dance Halls, So
cial Cente,s. etc." "The Battle fo
Health" and The Coming City.
Two organ numbers and two choir 81

Snow Ordinance Worries

The ordinance requiring sidewalks to
be cleaned of snow is again Won ylng
members of the council. Counciln an
Mayes is eager to see the ordinance
now in effect enforced. 1t declares
that all property owners must clear
the snow away, else the city will do
the work and charge the cost to the
abutting property. However, some of
the members of the council declare
that the sidewalk are slicker when the
snow is cleared away than when il is
heaped on them. Councilman May es
advised that the use of little coarse
salt would prevent the walks from be-
coming slick.
But half of the members of the
council voted for strict enforcement
of the ordinance Monday night.

MS the result of the report of the grand
jury IN warning the county court that
the expenditure of sum greater than
SO per day as payment for the inspec-

had nothing to say as to the payment
of the past year salary, but warned
that sum of $500 year should not be
paid again.
The court notified Prof. Lawrence
that it could only make an appointment
for another year on this basis. and he
has asked to be allowed to resign, de-
elaring that he cannot afford to work
for that figure, having given up work
that was paying him greater salary

afternoon, the bill, signatures on a pc

be sent to Legislature asking that the
salaries of local officers be increased,
will be returned without recommends
