Amy lowell Wiggles Her
Toes to Relieve Rhythm

Celebrities In most Of the fine arts
held little inspection Of one another's
craft in the Rose Room of the Hotel
Astor last night, and among other
things learned that Amy Lowell's sense
of rhythm Is SO strong that she has to
wiggle her toes frequently in order to
relieve 1t.
OF course, Miss Lowell explained
further to her fellow members of the
Society Of Arts and Sciences, which
was the host at the gathering, the
rhythms surging within her could best
be Gained by movement of the feet
from the ankles down, especially when
the band begins to play. But that, she
implied, might be considered as with
out the pale Of strict decorum fer a
leader in the modern school Of poetry:
hence the expedient of the metronome
OF toes.
"You see. explained Miss Lowell,
"you can't see them when l do it,"
Aside from the subject of pedal
acrobatics, Miss Lowell revealed the
secret for understanding free verse and
other branches Of modern poetry

he never staets," she said you're
supposed to round out the meaning
from your own imagination. OF course.

Another suggestion given the Prssi-

regarding anti-dumping be stricken out

Some Republican members OF tho

In Search of a
Missing Girl

It was early Friday morning
neatly dressed young man appeared
in our city deeply interested in a
missing young woman Of about 20
years of age from the Irvine Tele-
phone Company, where she had been
engaged as an operator. The young
woman, Miss Roberta Neikirk, left
word with her associate operators
that she was going to Mt. Sterling,
where she had engaged as saleswo-
man with the Rice & Co., dry goods
firm Of that place, and the young
man said, 81 am here to find her.
The young woman is the daughter
Of G. B. Neikirk, Ill Estill avenue,
Richmond, KY" The young man in
search said he was assisting the
family Of the young woman in the
search for the missing girl. The
young man asked that his name be
kept out of print and but for the
reason we promised to do so we
would give his name. To our mind
it appeared he was a sweetheart of.
the young girl who, he feared, had
eloped with another. The young
man did not give up the search here
until Saturday, when he left, saying,
"Should you get trace of the young
woman, wire her father, c. B. Mel
kirk, Ill Estill avenue, Richmond,
KY" The young woman has a host
of friends in Irvine and Richmond
who are greatly shocked at her dis
appearance, and her mother is al
most FRUSTRATED with grief. Her IA

Centre Defeats
Harvard 6 to 0

The south was victorious at the
Harvard stadium Saturday. Men
from Centre College Of Kentucky
"Praying Colonies" and football
players of high degree, with 'Bo'
Mcmillan driving them on, defeated
the Harvard eleven by a score of 6
to 0.
The representatives of the small
est college on the Crimson schedule
had accomplished what no other
team had done in forty years--de-
feated Harvard in an intersectional
game 1t was five years since the
Crimson had met defeat on its own
or. any other field.
The victory belonged to the re-
doubtable "Bo" Mcmillan, backed by
his mates on an alert and aggressive
team. A well knit defensive line
held Harvard safe.
The lone touchdown was made by
Mcmillan in the third quarter on a
23-yard run. Centre won the game
at straight football, only attepmting
four forward passes. The Kentuck-
ians outplayed Harvard at every
stage Of the game and was were
clearly the better team.
