G. U. FRAT BARS DRINKS
Expected Other College Societies
Will Follow Delta Chi Lead.

Georgetown has fallen into line
with the other large universities of
the country in barring punch and
other drinks from formal fraternity
functions.
Some time ago the Inter-Fraternity
Conference, in convention at New
York, recommended that the matter
of prohibition be given serious con-
sideration by its different members
among the Greek letter chapters. To-
day Delft Chi, the oldest of the ma
tional fraternities of it's sort at
Georgetown, issued announcements
of the annual banquet. The banquet
will be held at the Lafayette Hotel
February 10, and will be a joint gath
ering Of the Georgetown undergradu-
ate and Washington alumni chapters
While onthing definite has yet been
done, 1t is expected that the other
fraternities, national and local, at
Georgetown will follow the lead of
Delta Chi and that in the future
drinks will be among the things mis-
sing at Blue and Gray fraternity gath
erinRs.

WINSTED, Conn, Jan. 24.-Lloyd

NUNS circus when his mother, Mrs.
Mary Humphrey, wrote her will. The
testament left $4,000 to Lloyd, but
only in case he should meet with ac-
cident or be confined to a hospital by
illness. AS a further inducement to
give up the big top" the son was TO
receive the family homestead provid-
ing he returned to claim il In a
year after his mothers death.
But Lloyd returned before his
mother died, married, and found safer
work as a keeper in the county jail
II was said that Mrs. Humphrew the
elder did not get along particularly
well with her daughter-in-law. At
any rate, the will was not changed.
When Mrs. Humphrey died recently,
Lloyd, still hale and charity. could Ut
