German people in the District will
meet at the German Orphan Asylum for
their annual ''metzelsuppe." This has
been yearly reunion for long time,
conducted by the Washington Butchers
Association. The probabilities are a
change will be made this time. 1t is
expected the board of directors of the
German Orphan Asylum will manage
the "metzelsuppe'' this year, although
this is not certain.
A date will be named later, but the
gathering will take place early in Feb

''metzelsuppe" is reminder of the
practice in the fatherland to the Ger

known as 1.-The feast of the pigs" on ac-
count of the killing of the pigs to make
up a feast, which Is of frequent oc-
