people get busy.
Now is the time that the associated
charities could have done a great
work. But we tried to organize it
when the weather was pleasant and
failed. Now it is perhaps too late
this winter.
We understand the Kings Daugh-
ters are receiving daily appeals for
help. They are investigating cases

can. Others are also in the field.
But what we need is an organized
body whose business it is to look af-

Tonight's Gridiron club dinner will

tended by Mr.. Roosevelt during his
term of Office. OF course not even a
hint of the dinner program has been
given out, but 1t is safe to guess that
all sorts of fun regarding the close of
the administration and the coming
trip to Africa will be poked at the
president. Coming in for a share of
the satire will be the retiring vice
president and the members of con-
gress who have lost their coats.
The dinner will be attended, as
usual, by the greater part of the ma
tons prominent men resident in
Washington and by men from other
cities. No one who has ever attended
a Gridiron club dinner has ever failed
to express desire to attend all the
subsequent dinners.

was stalled and passenger trains
were held up behind it. Another pas

The best information obtainable az
Lacrosse was that both trains were
