REAFFIRMED Casper school teachers have been advised within the last few days that they are expected to use more discretion in the future in regard_to thelr attendance at public dances. While no hard fast rule hag been laid down by the school board the matter was threshed out at a meeting of school principals and the princi- pals were given the views ‘of the board and parents on the subject. Teachers are asked to refrain from visiting public dance halts and any dances where a semblance of wildness prevails, certain formals being mentioned in the request, ‘Thege objections have started with pare: who have communicated their views to the sdhool board. High school girls in particular have told their parents “that if the teach- ers can go to these dances.we ought to be allowed to go.” The matter was brought to a head by several incidents in which high school girls became seriously in- volved. One of these was the two girls who were taken out on the Salt Creek highway by two men and made to walk back to Casper be- cause they refused to accede to the demand of the men. These girls were picked up by the men ut lo- cal dance hall. “We are faced with a peculiar situation,” said Mr, Slade, in dis- cussing the matter this morning. “We do not want to deprive teach- ‘ers of dancing, but’ at the same time we have DISCRETION IN DANCE ATTENDANCE IS ASKED OF CASPER TEACHERS tions of certain parents to teachers attending publio dances.

War Scare Over Jap Exclusion Is Lacking Change In Relations Between Washington and Tokio, and Earthquake Disaster to Stay Drastic Action; Coolidge To Seek Modification, Report BY DAVID LAWRENCE, (Copyright, 1924, Th Casper Tribune). WASHINGTON, April 16.—Time was when Washington would have been in the midst of a real war scare over relations with Japan had the same situation which exists today over the immigration: bill been duplicated. For congress has brushed aside all the pleas from Japan and overridden not only the cautionary Warning expressed by the Secretary of State, Mr. Hughes, but the peti- tion of the Japanese ambassador. Such a perplexing situation may mean a veto of the immigration bill. by President Cool- idge, Otherwise, he too, will be in the position of turning down his own secretary of state and ignoring the protests of a friendly power. But even if he vetoes the- bill, it will pass by a two thirds vote and be made law though the effect of the veto may be to modify in some pavticulars the harshness. of the action now contemplated with refer- ence to Japan. The present problem is not pa: to any that has been presented in history of Japanese-American rela+ tions. The emigration from Japan has hitherto been controlled by a “gentleman's agreement” whereby Japan has refused to grant CASPER IRRIGATION PROJECT Pathfinder dam is big enough to furnish all the water which the Casper-Alcova irrigation project will require and still there will be no shortage of water for farm lands in Nebraska in the opinion of S.

Mr. Hopkins was in Casper yesterday for the purpose of delivering a mos- Sage to the members of the Casper Chamber of Commerce and of dis- cussing the various phases of the enterprise with those who are work- Ing on it from this end. “Wyoming has a prior right to all water produced by / Wyoming water sheds,” he sald. This does not necessitate any loss to Nebraska because the water would find its way back into the river and could be used again, I have no doubt but that some adjustment will be made whereby this thing can be obtained.” When asked concerning the finan- cing of the project Mr. Hopkins re- plied that he was in sympathy with (Continued on Page Ten.) ‘CUT’ ENOUGH TO SUPPLY WATER FOR| x Batteries—Alexander and Hart- nett; Haines, North and Vick.
