missionaries to Canada in the 17th
century considered the "uron-Iro-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23--Meeting
for -the first time since Christmas, the
Republican steering committee today
took a hand in sorting out bills which
it thinks should be given considera-
tion before adjournment.
The tentative program, as made
public by Rep. Pilson, the Republican
leader, gives right of way on the floor
tomorrow to the conference report on
the Naval appropriations bill which is
a much debated Senate amendment to
provide $1,200,000 to begin work on
three light cruisers.
Next in order the $63,400,000 de-
ficiency supply bill, reported yester-
day and the Hawley Medicinal whis-
ky measure will be disposed of after
'which will come two bills authoriz-
$30,000,000 for various naval activi-
ties. These measures, given preferred
status today by the rules committee

studies to a disturbing extent.
Second: Contiguity of youth of both
sexes started many courtships of vary-
ing degrees of intensity.
Third: Residents in foreign ports, at
which the ship passed, not having
reached the American ideas on the
emancipation of women, misinterpret-
ed the meaning of the venture, which
resulted in complications.
"Originally, the cruise was intended
for men only," said the former gover-
nor, who is a member of the faculty
of the floating university, "but when
this was found impracticable because
of insufficiency of male applications,
it was decided to try coeducation, and
we took along less than 100 girls se-
lected from more than 4,000 that ap-
plied."
