dancing stag by the horns and
throw him politely but firmly OH
the line.
The managers of the Interfrater"
nifty Pledge Prom of the university
have announced that at their next
dance on Friday, January %, no
cutting in will be permitted. :,
The same history-making rule
will be followed at the second In
terfraternity prom on February 4.
If this new dancing system is
found agreeable, cutting" is go
! ing to be definitely out at G. W.
u. dances.
Thus may the pernicious stag
line be abolished. Thus may a
social revolution be started that
will spread faster than bolshevlSm
and fascism combined.
For young things are getting fed
NJ with naughty stays that snub
r cut at will. Men who have the
cash and courage to take girls Of
their own to dances will be able 70
finish a waltz with the partner
they began it with.
No more will there be tapp1ngS
on shoulders from those black
coated, hungry looking fellows who
like ravens encircle dance floors.
Beautiful, spoiled young gentlemen
will no longer be able to take their
pick of the other fellows loveliest
girls. They will have to get their
own dates for the parties.
The reconstruction of the United
States Government will be pale in
its results compared with the
changes wrought by the death OF
the stag line. I propheSy that.
come such a revolution, you'll see
a worldwide change in matrimony

WPA IS BALKED

Plans of District Works Progress
Administration officials to provide
jobs for TOO needy persons in the
District were shattered today when
an order from Federal WPA head
quarters raising the quota for this
city was revoked.
A week ago, Otto ]. CasS, deputy
local works administrator, received
an order from Federal headquar-
ters raising the District job quota
from 6,400 to 7,400. Today CasS
had before him another order from
David K. Niles, deputy Federal
WPA administrator, which stated
the Districts quota had been re-
vised and the city had been al
lowed $500 jobs. CaSs said there
are 6,700 persons now on the local
rolls.
Meanwhile pickets Of the Work
ers Alliance were still picketing
the District Building. They car
ried placards protesting against
failure of WPA to provide Suf1.
cient jobs for the needy and Of
inadequacy of Districts relief
program.
Cass said he had 1,130 men and
women on a waiting list, who have
been certified as in need and
eligible for WPA jobs, but who
cannot be given work because Of
the reduced quota.
In addition relief officials eSti-
mate 5000 other persons are in
need but cannot be given relief
because they are in the employ

NEW YORK.-The recent an
nouncement that the Episcopal
Diocese Of Albany is making over
lures to have the State take over
the rectory Of st. James Church,
Hogansburg, Franklin County, as
a historical shrine, in the belief
that Eleazer Williams, minister
of the church 100 years ago, was
the lost Dauphin. gives rise to an.
other story of "the king who never
reigned."
Some years ago the late w. M.
van der Weyde, an authority on
New York City's history, published
a plausible and extremely inter
esting tale told him by an old resi-.
dent of Greenwich Village.
The account claimed that the boy
prince, after being imprisoned for
several years after the execution of
his parents, Marie Antoinette and
Louis XVI, was smuggled from his
dungeon by a ruse and brought
to New York by the Swedish Count
Hans AXel Won Fersen. Count Fer
sen was a handsome man stationed
at Versailles as a colonel of the
Royal Regiment Of Swedes.
Arriving in New York on a
French vessel in the autumn of
1795 with the 10-year-old boy and
a priest, Fersen bought a house

IL now Leroy and Hudson Streets,
overlooking st. Johns Graveyard.
The story relates. The two men al
ways barred their heads in the pres

with the greatest difference.
The boy was known as Louis
Leroy. He married a society
woman, supposedly stayed in the
city and died about 1840. His
grave in st. Johns burial ground,
which was destroyed in the nine
ties to make way for the present
Hudson Park, furnished the strong
est basis for the hypothesis that
the Dauphin spent most Of his
life in New York city.
Both Mr.. van der Weyde and
Charles Hemstreet, q New York
historian, have spoken of seeing
the tomb in their youth. Mr.. Hem
