NO WONDER IT'S POPULAR

BY United Press.
Portland, Ore March 16.-How
san anyone be blamed for dancing

music.
DR.. Helen Clark, head of the Reed
college psychology department here,
Is authority for the statement the
,himmie is fast becoming the popu-

She has proved to her students that
soft, tuneful music sends a healthy
cockroach into an emotional trance
which finds expression in a rhyth-
mic dance. And high strains produce
an ecstatic response which has eve
ry semblance OF the shimmie.
Similar results were observed in
the angle worm, which wriggled and
4shivered" in perfect cadence with
a popular dance step.
