 VIII Follow.
 Warning against posture and ac- tions of dancing couples at the Senior High school was given in talk by Miss Millie c. McAuley, as- sistant principal. to an assembly of boys of the junior and senior class es in the auditorium of the school today.
 The warning was in the nature of a heart-to-heart> talk in which Miss McAuley stressed points in an in- teresting way. She has been fin charge of the conduct of the pupils at the school since she began her duties as assistant to Principal slade in 1924. She has often called the girls into assembly and warned them of objectionable practices. but today the girls were dismissed and the boys remained.
 Miss McAuley said she has seen marked improvement in the conduct of the pupils on the dance floor, but she finds 1t is still necessary to warn pupils of their posture.
 Among the practices which have not been looked upon with favor at school functions was dancing from the hips up. such as shoulder shak- ing. Warning was issued against the practice of monopolizing any part of the floor for considerable length of time. against wheeling" danc- ing toe fast or too slow or tod ding"
 Miss McAuley also spoke against the placing of the right hand of the boy on any place other than on the shoulder of the girl.
 In conclusion Miss McAuley urged the boys to cooperate with the school authorities since they are leaders and the girl will follow their example.

 Washington, Jan. IS (uP)-The public service Of the newspapers and press associations can be trtpled by radio, the American Newspaper Publishers' committee on cable and radio communications informed the radio commission today. The com 1nittee's representative. Joseph Pier son of Chicago. urged that newspa- pers be given priority over all ex- cept the army and navy in alloca- ton of short radio wave length fa- ciltties.
 ''rhe newspapers and press aaso- ciations will charge no more for their service by radio than by wire. in fact. much less owing to the economics of organization. but radio Will increase their public service at least three times" Pierson said.
 Prcseat Facilities Mentioned
 Tt seems to be hlnted here that radio facilities should be denied the American press because adequate facilities already exist to transmit our news. We have shown this is error, one of tho best answers to that argument was made hero yes- terday when one of the largest wire and cable companies in the world asked for many radio channels to supplement it's so-called adequate wire facilities"
 Ptersou demanded to know wheth- CT the radio channels were to fall into hands ''whick employ them for the bensfit of tho people. reducing the economic burden by enlightening the Dvhlsc,. or exclusively to those who vdll exploit them for private profits"
 Seven new applicants for the short wave autAority. including the United Press, were listed by commission of- ficials today. bringing the total num- ber of applications in this class to 112.
 Pierson said his committee rep resented agencies bringing news daily to 71.ooo.ooo readers in the United States. They include the United Press association. tho Inter- national News service, the New York Times. World. and Herald Tribune, the Hearst papers, Philadelphia Public Ledger, Chicago Tribune. and Christian Science Monitor.
