DOUGLAS
 NEVIS
FRESHMEN DULY INIATED

A burlesque negro wedding en- acted by the Douglas high school Freshmen, was only one of the many features of the Frosh initia- tion party which was given by the Sophomore class in the Odd Eel lows hall last night, but one for side-splitting results that started the affair off with a bang.
 Phyllis Edwards as the bride and Marie Fox, bridegroom, were the principles in the wedding. They were supported by Helen Stragier, bridesmaid, and Louise Rollins, best man. The ceremony was performed by Arvo Wahto. Nena Baroumes was ring bearer for the occasion. The bride was given away by her father, Rev. Fox. Proceeding the wedding, Phyllis sang T Love You Truly"
 Following the mock wedding each freshman was given a stunt to per form, said stunts ranging all the way from reciting poems to danc- ing the Charleston. Then came the peanut race, with Emma Uferti losing out and having to take paddling. And there was the breath-taking high jump into canvas, and tossing up; the electric chair, the blind hunt in bare feet over a split pea strewn floor for a pair of shoes, and kissing the blar- ney stone tthe famous cheese known as limburger)
 Refreshments followed the various stunts, each class being served in turn with the Seniors first. Place cards and decorations of white and blue adorned the table. At the close of the eats the lighted Can dle of Knowledge" was presented to Arvo Wahto, president of the freshman class, by the sophomores, an annual custom instituted by the present senior class. Superintend- ent Cathcart gave an interesting talk, suitable for the occasion.
 After refreshments, music and dancing were enjoyed by all pres ent, including all the teachers and students of the high school.

SENATE VOTE BANS
SHORT SESSIONS
Norris Resolution Opposing
"Lame Duck" Congresses
Is Passed by 81 to 9.

BY "ote Of 81 to 9. the Senate this
afternoon passed the Norris resolution
proposing an amendment to the Con-
stitution that would abolish short ses-
sions of an old Congress following the
election by having the newly-elected
Congress meet January g. 1t also would
change the time for the Inauguration
of President from March 4 to Janu-
ary IS.
Similar resolutions have passed the
Senate on four other occasions, but have
never passed the House. Since 1t Is
constitutional amendment, it requires
tWo-thirdS vote in each branch OF Con-
greSs and ratification by three-fourths
of the State Legislatures
The chief purposes of the change are
to prevent members OF Congress VINO
are defeated in a November electlon
from continuing to legislate during the
three month session ending March
and also to reduce the likelihood OF MI
busters which frequently occur near the
close of a short ssGsion because OF the
necessity of adjourning automatically
on March 4.
Before the vote was taken today the
opposition to the change was summed
up by Senator Bingham, Republican, OF
Connecticut. who argued that a constl-
tutional amendment is not necessary to
change the leaving time of Congress
and that there arc advantages in having
an interval between the time of cleo
ton and the beginning OF new
Congress.
Senator Norris replying 10 Senator
Bingham, gave the arguments in favor
of the change.

PRESCRIBEs MORE EXERCISE.
Base Ball Game Not Enough for Babe,
Personal Trainer SAYS.

NEW YORK, June 7 LP).-Artie Nc
Govern, physical instructor, who was
Babe Ruth's personal trainer In pre-
pairing him for his home run campaigns
in the last four years, thinks all the
big base ball player needs is more ex-
ercise. Playing game OF base ball a
day does not give him enough work, in
the opinion of the expert.
Sure Ruth's heart is bad" said Nc
Govern. and so is yours" referring
to the interviewer's motor power.
Going out and playing game of
base ball will not keep Ruth in shape.
He needs more action. To keep in tip
top shape, the Babe should work sys-
tematically right through the season,
a short time each day. all the time keep
ing a close watch on his diet. He S
overweight now.
Due to an unfortunate combination
of circumstances, just as he was about
to start on his preliminary gymnasium
work to get himself in shape for this
season, he had to leave New York and
forego the extensive program we had
mapped out. All he got was a lot of
golf, and while golf is good, it is not
enough for fellow like Ruth"
