which is TO be held in Washington Oc-
tober 10. under the auspices OF the
Wilson.Marshal league. Mr.. Wilson

meeting and several prominent West
Virginia Democrats have been asked
to deliver addresses.

Mrs. Henry S. Baker that Mrs. Eliz-
abeth p. Higginbotham. wife Of Sam
uel II. Higginbotham, former postmas-
ter OF Charles Town, had passed away
at their home near Rippen. ". Va.

years of age and beside her daughter,
Mrs. Baker, OF this city. is survived

Congressman George Bowers paid
his usual Thursday visit to Wishing
ton this week and was a busy man for
the few hours he spent in the House
building looking after the department
tai matters that had come up during
his absence. The office force of Mr..
Bowers has been working overtime
to supply blanks and information for
the numerous widows in his District
who are eligible to increase in PEN
sion under the Ashbrooks' Widows
Pension bill passed this month by
Congress. Many of the application
blanks have been returned and filed.
by Mr.. Bowers on his weekly visit,
with the Pension bureau. The i'm.
portance Of keeping in touch with his
constituents through the Washington
office. and looking after personally
the numerous requests that come in
daily has been more than relied by
Mr.. Bowers, and his home Is near
enough Washington for him to keep
in close touch with Washington at
fairs and give prompt attention to
the departmental matters, and numer.
Gus other affairs, which the passing
Of new laws in Congress this year

On the contrary, they try most sue

For the smaller boys there is a

the alley houses adjoining the settle

billiard tables, a piano. punching bag
and many table games.
The boys more than sixteen years

"PRUNELLA" TO BE PRESENTED
Scheduled for Early in January by
CIV. u. PLAYERS.

"Prunella' is to be presented by the
George Washington University Players
early in January at one of the local
theaters.
The play had it's American premiere
at Milwaukee. Wis. when it was staged
by the Wisconsin Dramatic Association,
which is now touring the country in a
repertoire of plays. Sol. S. Gluck,

The play will be presented under d.
rection of Henry Jason Breslau and Mr..
Gluck. There will be special assistant
directors to take charge of the music

Lady Clarissa Pevensey in the produce
ton Of "Disraelr' by the university
players last May. will play the title
role.
The score of the play was written by
Joseph Moorat of London and Is enti-
tied "Pierrot's Serenade."

Scope of the Club Work.

The scope of the club work of Neigh
borhood House. with glimpse of the
merry times which the boys and girls.
as well as their elders, have at these
club meetings, was brought out by a
resident worker in talking to visitor
today.
The main feature-in fact. the
'why-of most settlements is its so
cial activities, and, although our set
t1ement has the well organized and eff
fective industrial department. We also
have an equally well organized and
effective social department.. of which
Mrs. J. P. S. Neigh is the head. and
she has made of Neighborhood House
an enjoyable and helpful meeting place
for hundreds and hundreds of people.
Ten years ago the Woman's Club
was organized with the object to have
good time and to lend. each other
helping hand and not only do they
have the good time once week, but
they have also extended the helping
hand to Neighborhood House on many
occasions by giving practical and
much>needed gifts. 1t was this club
that made the money by supper to
equip the clinic in the day nursery of
Neighborhood House. And. speaking of
suppers. it is this group of women
that give the far-famed repasts at the
May festivals each year"
