HELL WEEK" SOON
TO END IN COLLEGE
Conference of Deans of Men
Believes Practice Is Dying
Hard Death.

Hell week" is due. but 1t is dying a
hard death.
This was the consensus of college
officials from all sections of the country
attending the annual conference of
dean of men at the Maydower today
Hell week" is the probation period
required by many college fraternities
when prospective initiates are forced to
do all manner Of strange and embar-
RAISING featS, such as crawling on the
hand and knees across busy street Or
making their way home for is or 20
miles after being taken, blindfold and
penniless. for an automobile ride. Some
time. the initiates are hancuffed, so
that they are likely to fall into the
hands of the law as States prisoners.
Sometimes the "Hell week" stunts
are such as to endanger the lives of
the students. Although the queer rites,
the paddlings and other traditional
trimmings of fraternity limitations
arouse tender memories among the
prominent educators assembled today,
few showed much sympathy with them.
Dean George p. Wood of American
University told the group that the pros

The five names will be presented to

The poll was conducted by means OF

Gliding whether fraternities should be
recognized at the Washington institu-
ton. The campus is already honey
combed, he said, with sub rosa fraternity
and sorority groups, which conduct
their limitations unknown to the faculty,
and it is suggested that 1t would
be better to legalize fraternities so that
some supervision could be exercised.
Students, he said. come to American
University from the Washington high
schools already fairly imbued with the
Hell week" traditions, and expect that
sort of treatment.
Success Toward Regulation.
Dean Thomas A. Clark Of the Uni
versity of Illinois reported that an APP
parently successful scheme to regulate
the Hell Week" proceedings had been
put in effect through the interfrater-
nifty counsel. Under this plan pre-in-
itiation stunts are confined to "a hours
before the final initiatory ceremonial,
and they must be kept in the fraternity
house. Such stunts as sending a
student into the country on a hunt for
something that doesn't exist, he said,
can be INDUCED in with only special
permission. No effort is made to in
terfere with the regular initiation.
The growing number of colleges which
are facing Hell week" under rather
strict regulations, it was reported. is a
hard blow TO manufacturers of paddles.
One of these manufacturers recently
made the embarrassing mistake of send
ing circulars stressing the moral value
of padding freshmen to the officers of

short time that Flip had been living
| there. Unc' Billy knew all about
Bowser the Hound. He had met him
before. Flip was wholly different.
| Bowser was slow, while Flip was quicker
than a flash.
Gradually Unc' Billy was edging along
nearer and nearer to that first fence
post. He turned his head for a quick
glance and Flip saw his chance. He
rushed in and got hold of Unc' Billy
by the skin of his neck. He didn't have
a good hold. He didn't have a hold
that would let him shake him thor
oughly, if he wanted to shake him. He
knew it. He was sure that he hadn't
even hurt Unc' Billy. So you can per-
Unc' Billy suddenly went limp. Flip
dropped him at once. He had killed
many rats. He knew that when a rat
went limp that way it was dead So
Unc' Billy must be dead. Flip let go
of him and stood over him, trying to
believe his eyes. There lay Unc' Billy
on his side, his eyes closed, his mouth
half open and not sign of life about
him. Flip backed away two or three
steps. Certainly this queer fellow was
dead. He went up to him again and
rolled him over with his nose. There
was no doubt about-this fellow was
dead
WELL" thought Flip, "this fellow was
easy. He looked like a fighter, but
never in my life have I killed rat as
easily as killed this big fellow" You
see, Flip was still thinking that Unc'
Billy was some kind of rat.
Then Flip became filled with pride.
Yes, sir, he became filled with pride.
He felt that he had done a big thing.
IT wonder what Bowser the Hound will
say to this" thought Flip. Eyes, sir,
wonder what Bowser will say to this.
I'll go up and get him and bring him
back here. He'll have to see 1t with his
own eyes. He won't believe that ]
could kill any one as big as this so
easily. It's funny. must have scared
him to death. I didn't break his neck
or didn't even have a good hold on
him. wonder If could carry him up
to Farmer Browns. That would be
even better than bringing Bowser down
here"
So Flip got hold Of the loose skin of
Unc' Billy'S back and carried him q
short distance. But Unc' Billy was too
big and too heavy for small dog to
carry far. He tried it two or three
times. Then he dropped Unc' Billy,
stood and looked at him pridefully for
a few moments, and then raced OF to
get Bowser the Hound. There wasn't a
prouder dog in all the Great World
than Flip.

course, Flip didn't know this. Flip
didn't know Unc' Billy or anything
about him. No, sir, he didn't know
who Unc' Billy was, so of course he
had no suspicion of what Unc' Billy
was trying to do. All Flip wanted was
a chance to dash in and seize Unc'
Billy by the back of the neck. If he
could once do this, he felt he could
shake Unc' Billy to death in a minute.
So he continued to rush and bark,
and Unc' Billy continued to gradually
work along until he turned the corner
of the henhouse If he could just get
down the length of the henhouse to
where the fence began, he could climb
one Of those fence posts and be safe.
How he did wish that he had remained
in the old stone wall! He hadn't known
anything about Flip. You see, it was a
long, long time since he had been up
to Farmer Browns, ana it was only

There was lot of excitement down
behind Farmer Browns henhouse. Flip
the Terrier had discovered Unc' Billy
Postum there and he was dancing
around Unc' Billy, barking and watch
ing for a chance to rush in and seize
him. Unc' Billy, on his part, was turn

snarling and showing a sharp set of
teeth. All the time Unc' Billy was try
