QUITS SUFFRAGE UNION;
OBJECTS TO PICKETING
Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch Resigns
to Take Up Making OF War
Bandages.

In protest against the continuation of
picketing at the White House by rep
resentatives of the Congressional Union
for Woman's Suffrage, Mrs. Harriet
Stanton Blatch. a prominent English
suffrage worker, resigned from the
Congressional Union yesterday. She
has taken up the work of making band
ages for use in case of war.
Mrs. Blatch attributes failure to get
equal suffrage in England to the same
tactics as now are being employed by
the Congressional Union. and has not
taken part in such work since the war
began.
Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the
Congressiona.i Union, attributes Mrs.
Blatch's action to war sympathies ana
vigorously defends the White House
picketing She says:
When the civil war began Susan y.
Anthony was told the same things we
are being told today. If shed only
drop her suffrage work and become an
abolitionist, women would be given the
vote as a reward as soon as the war
was over. She did drop her work, and
as result all legislation in which
women were interested was promptly
dropped.
FIFTY years later women are still
seeking the ballot. If we do get in
war now a new situation will have
arisen and the picketing may be stop
ped. We really are not in war yet.

Marriage AS REMEDY
FOR HIGH LIVING COST

a George Washington Uni

Fellows, here's a tip on solving the
high cost of living:
Marry a George Washington Univer-
sity girl.
The girls at George Washington ap-
parently have solved the high cost of
living problem. They are serving lunch
cons each week at the ridiculous price
of 10 cents a plate. OF course. they
don't make any profit. but they don't
lose any money else there would be no
more luncheons.
What do the girls serve? Well. now,
to quote the very words of one of them,
the menus are more attractive than
those measly two-bits day menus
they tried out at the White House,
Sample Menu.
Here's a sample of one of the George
Washington menus:
Lamb Chops.
Dreamed Potatoes. Peas,
Tea. Bread and Butter.
Stewed Fruit. Cake.
Here's another menu:
Soup. Crackers
Dreamed Fish Potato c,,,s
Rolls and Butter.
Salad.
Not bad, eh2 But the mere menu
doesn't do justice to the meal itself
For the atmosphere's the thing. These
luncheons are served in dainty deco

dishes are being served by attracIvely
