Joker's Notice of Early Morning Trot Pravokea Collegian Who Promise to Avenge Themselves. It will go hard with the rogue who posted a notice on the door of the Reed College dining-room to the effect that there would be "dancing in the men's social room before breakfast, be ginning at 7 A. M.," if the men stu dents of the school determine his identity. The Co-eds, accepting the bogus notice at its face value, tramped through the snow to the social room yesterday morning at 7 o'clock, chant ing the syncopating strains of "Poor Pauline" and "Old Bill Bailey." Great was their amazement on entering to find the room vacant. Not a man was In sight. But absence of men has never been known to deter the feminine element of Reed from dancing. Their co-ed dances have been famed affairs since the founding of the institution. Nothing daunted, they trotted, stepped and waltzed to the throbbing reverbera tion of a vigorously drummed piano and the dulcet tinkling of a cow-bell. From - time immemorial the half hour between 7 o'clock and breakfast time has been consecrated to sleep in the men's section of the dormitory. The male collegians promise a day of retribution for the culprit who orig inated the hoax, when he Is detected. CITY TO BUY FIRE BOOKS Insurance Blocks and Building Ar rangement to Be Shown.
