Reports here that the national army

took the pains today to declare en-

three months training.
After that all will depend upon
what is the situation in France.
Movements that many persons have
noted have all been OF troops other
than the national army. The national
army movements from here have all
been in small detachments, made up
OF men for special work with units In
training elsewhere or in service "over

COMMUNITY CENTER

There will be no community center
within the boundaries Of the Nj
Pleasant Citizens Association at this
time, according to the sentiment
shown at the regular monthly meet
ing of the association at the Brown
Betty Inn, Sixteenth street and Park
road northwest, last night, at which
David D. Caldwell presided.
The question OF the establishment
OF a community center was discussed
and debated for over two hours, inaI-
ly resulting in the tabling OF the whole
matter. The sentiment was freely
expressed that the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association has not acted
exactly as a good and friendly neigh
Dor should have done, and rather than
indorse its action and selection of Il
paid secretary, the Mt Pleasant asso-
citation dropped the project for the
time being.

The advocate Of women on juries

however, that in that case the YER

"0nly when women are per-
mitted to serve on juries can q
perfect verdict be rendered. The
man looks on the legal side alone
while the wuman weighs the hu-
man element in the case"
Thus spoke Miss Cora Duffey, Of
Alexandria, Va, who established a
precedent by being the first wom-
an to serve on a jury in the Old
Dominion. She, was called in to
fill a vacancy when only eleven
jurors could be found for a civil
suit.
"At present woman Is looked
upon by man as something mys-
terious," continued Miss Duffey.
"The only misgivings I have,
should women be given q place on
juries, Is that mans attitude may
change, because Of constant asso-
citation, which would be necessi-
tated by jury service"
In these times of stress, Miss
Duffey says that woman realizes
that she must enter into partner
ship with man in a way that
counts. This idea, she says, is as
old as the race.
Woman's Aspiration.
at is the secret aspiration Of ev-,
cry woman" said Miss Duffey, "to
use her intellect and be her real
self.
"For ages past man thought he
held q still bird in his hand to
love and CHERISH and when the
bird few, which it was longing to
do, it frightened him."
When women are on trial, as
serts Miss Dufey, men are prone
to be lenient just because the de-
fendants are women. Women
serving on a jury in the trial Of q
woman, she says, would be simply
just to her."

Chain Parties.

The finance committee has begun
a new money making campaign
which promises to be a huge sue
cess. A chain of parties has been
started, and the dollars have already
commenced to roll in. The ten
members of the finance committee
have each invited four guests to
their respective homes and they are
asked to each bring a quarter. The
hostess turns over the dollar thus
earned ito the Red Cross. Each guest
entertained asks four guests to her
home. The form of entertainment is
left entirely to the hostess; she may
play cards, dance, sew, knit or any
thing her. ingenuity may devise. But
no one can invite her four guests
until she has been entertained. This
rule must be strictly followed, or
complications are sure to follow. So
when you are invited to one of these
chain parties, wait to ask your four
guests until the party to which you
are asked has actually been given.
Each hostess is asked to put her
dollar in an envelope with the name
of her guests and leave with Miss
Mills at the library.
Lunches should be simple and con-
firm with Hoover's plan for conser-
walton of food. Fruits should be
used whenever possible, but it is not
necessary to serve lunches at all.
