COI UMBIANSgGlVE A
SUCCESSFUL DANCE
AFFAIR AT THE ARMoRY LAST
NIGHT is WELL ATTENDED
AND ENJOYABLE

The knights of Columbus, at their
annual Easter Monday ball last night
at the armory, performed the rather
unique feat of entertaining large
crowd without the utilization Of rag
and modern" dances. The knights
undertook this tasn with fear and
trembling, as the arags" are mighty
popular in Las Vegas and nearly ev-
erybody is devoted to the new Terp-
sichoreon stunts. The church has
frowned upon the new dances and
the Columbians throughout the land
have dutifully removed them from
their programs.
The crowd last night, instead of be-
ing disappointed, however, seemed to
enjoy an evening Of "old fashioned"
dancing. Some Of the pieces played
had seductive, "raggyg sound that
temped to walk" or dip, but no
body gave way to the impulse. The
dance, IN fact, was snoh q novelty
that it made a decided hit.
The Columbians have the reputa-
tion for drawing large and desirable
crowds to their dances. and that Of
last night was no exception. The hall
was well filled with Jolly people from

At the same time many employees

How interesting.
Somehow or other we have a sort
OF liking for real bandit. He is so
much honester about it than a high

Robin Hood is one of our pet
heroes. He robbed the rich and gave
to the poor.
Had he robbed the poor for the
benefit of the rich he could not have
qualified as robber

1t does seem to make a difference
how you do it.
But there is something romantic
about robbery, while financiering is
so dull and stupid.
There's hope for Chicago after all.
