DANCING IN U. $. SHOCKING
 TO ICELANDIC STUDENT

University of Washington, April 7-There have been a lot of sur prises in store for Hallgrimur Her mann, an Icelander, who is a stu dent at the university, and one of them has been American dancing. Hermann never saw a tree or Q horse till he was 20 years old; Eut they haven't surprised him as much as the conduct of the young pvo. le of this country on the mod orn resined floor.
 Icelandic dancing he says is far more graceful and dignified. "Our dances" he told q reporter for the campus newspaper, "are much different from those in America. Ev- eniug dress is invariably worn, and the dancing is refined, which is not true here. l do not like the way Americans dance, so l do not at tend any of the parties"

Chicago, April 7-YeSterday's municipal election marked the pass ing from public life, probably for ever, Uf Carter II. Harrison, mayor of Chicago. Son of Carter H. HTrri- son the first, who was assassinat- ed while serving as Worlds fair mayor of Chicago, ill 1893, Harri- son II equalled his fathers record of terms and actually served two more years than his father, as his last term was for four years, while hiG fathers five terms and his own first four were of two years each.
 Harrison lost the democratic @om- inatlon to Robt. N. Sweit2er in a fight that was complicated by many issues, several due to the feeling engendered by the world war. Primarily, however, Harrison lost because the strap-hauaers blamed him for the miserable transportation facilities in Chicago. During his term just closed there was coil tinued agitation for a subway or some practical solution of the situa- tion which marked Chicago as the slowest of all cities to arrange for the transportation Of it's workers. Harrison protested that the big mer- cantile interests allied with existing transportation corporations had ren- dered him helpless but he WIS made q victim.
 Carter H. Harrison, was an easy boss" Handsome, birding himself on ancestry and family, being mayor was a distinction. Few men ever questioned his personal or busi- ness honesty; none successfully His liquor policy was liberal in accord ance with what he believed the peO- pie wanted. During his rule and these of Dunne and Busse, the city grew bigger, more prosperous, many streets were unlighj"G: more un- swept. Police graft flourished The city was overrun with crooks. MuF- ders and other crimes against per son and property increased alarm ingly. The second city was expert encing growing pains and it's revenue for police, light, cleaning, etc, was not at all commensurate with the wonderful growth. It hal outgrown short pants, but didn't have the money to buy long ones and lacked capacity to save or earn
