FORMER INNATE
ASSA|LS REGIME
At WORKHOUSE
Tells Senator Conditions al
occoquan May InfIame Men
to Violence.

Conditions in the District Work
house at OCCoquan. Va, have
reached such a point that disorder
In now rampant and escapes are
made nightly, according TO a former
inmate who filed complaint today
with Senator Elkins OF West Vir-
ginia.
"If something is not done very
soon there will be bloodshed at the
workhouse," he delared.'' The men
are dissatisfied. There is no dis
cipline whatever"
The informant declared he was
ready at any time TO appear before
any investigating committee and
tell OF conditions
"Runaways are wholesale" he
continued The men have no re.
spect for the officers. Riots are
going on almost all the time. The
officers are continually cruel to the
men and each day the situation is
growing worse.
Men who violate the rules are
being punished too severely. In sew
eral instances men have been put
into solitary confinement for several
months and handCuffed the entire
time. They are fed on bread and
water and never given an oppor-
tunity to take a bath.
1T is impossible for the officials
to get the men to work. They all
solutely refuse 10 obey orders.
"One thing that has caused dis
satisfaction is the placing of pris-
oners in charge OF prisoners

TODDLE CRAZE
HAS DIED, SAYS
D. c. TEACHER
Wiggle Dances Doomed. With
Long Step Society Walk"
Taking Their Place.

Tremble, ye toddlers. But not on
the dance floor.
Your day is over.
Unless you learn to do something
more than toddle and jazz you will
soon find no welcome on a dance
floor.
The day of the short step and the
body" dancing is going.
In its stead Is coming the old
fashioned graceful type, with the
longer step.
This is the prediction of Mrs. Mae
Dawson. Washington dancing teach
er, who Is seeking to int coduce in
Washington the society walk"
which is characterized by a long,
swinging step and is said 10 be very
graceful.
These people who can dance al!
evening within the confines of a
barrel hoop" said Mrs. Davidson,
ARE going to find themselves sadly
out OF style. Society is beginning
to frown on the toddle and all jazz
dancing and music. In New York
II has almost totany disappeared ex-
cept in the East Side. and is abso-
lutely barred in most places.
Washington, strangely, is cling
Ing to the custom longer, but it is
going even here. In its place you
will see the society walk and its
kindred and the graceful Argentine
tango, danced to slower music.
This means that a number OF peo-
pie who have acquired the art OF
twitching their backs and shoulders
like horse in fly season, are going
to have a lot of patiently trained
muscles going to waste.
Likewise, those who seek to pre-.
serve shoe leather by dancing with
out moving their feet are about due
to slide like a flivver on a wet
street. Go and do thou likewise.

THOSE KISS COUPONS.

Dear Bill: l hear considerable
talk among the girls Of adopting
the idea of another Washington
girl Of giving kiss coupons to male
callers or friends who have done
kindly service sufficient to justify
these priceless bits of paper.
AS / gather from the girls, they
don't like 1t because so many fell
lows they become acquainted with
want to kiss them the first or sec
ond time after going out with them.
So the idea they now have Is to get
out the kiss coupons and when
some "freshie" wants to rush the
kissing business very early in their
acquaintance they will good ma.
turedly hand over to him a printed
coupon from a printed tablet:
KISS COUPON.
Good for one ~ kiss. when ten
lO) coupons are presented.
Not transferable.
tSlRneuJ.
1t would not be necessary to sign
the coupons with the correct name,
as boys might go around exhibiting
their collections.
One idea Of the kiss coupon,
though, is that it will be a sort Of
protection to a girl against those
ardent birds who think they are en-
titled to kisses every time they do
some pleasant thing for a girl. A
girl. II she found she wasn't going
to like a fellow at all, could refuse
to issue coupons after she had Civ
en- out four or five, and keep the
guy from the coveted prize.
No kiss coupon should be given
except for valuable service rem
dered."
am a girl who has found a TOO
prevalent idea among young men
that they can kiss girls after a short
acquaintance. think the kiss
something that should never be be-
slowed until an engagement, and
even then with caro-.
Let us continue to give thought
TO this kiss coupon idea as a thing
which will enable the girls to hold
off the too.loving gents that go
out with them.
