GIRL WHITE HOPE"
CHEERS REED MEN

They call her the white Hope" out
at Walter Reed Hospital A genera
ton ago soldiers would have called her
the white Sister" the white Angel" "
or some other romantic term, but now
adays they hide their sentiment in
slang. That's why the girl who twice
week visits the wounded soldiers and
brings them cigarettes and chewing
gum, fresh fruits and flowers is known
TO every mothers son OF them as Walter
Reeds white Hope"
For nearly a year, soldier boys at
Walter Reed have come to look forward
70 the visit two days a week Of a girl
that could make them laugh and forget
their troubles, who was always sure to
bring some good cigarettes, a new book,
a jar of jelly, a basket of apples, or
anyone Of the things a lonesome boy in

from Senator Kenyon, who Is being

While it is unsettled whether SEN

cUsly considering accepting the
cEairmanship OF the District Com

Senator Kenyon said that IL he be-
came chairman of the District COM

bring about suffrage for the people
OF Washington.
why should not the people of the
District of Columbia have the right

reason for denying them the ballot"
Whether Senator Kenyon. heads the
District Committee or not, he will do
what ne can to help along the cause
Of suffrage here.
Congressman Mapes, the new chair
man OF the District Committee, has
not yet announced his position on
District measures. but there is reason
to believe he will favor a liberal pol

The fact Congressman Mondell, the
new House leader, has come out in
q speech before students at the old
Central High School here in favor of
suffrage for Washington, Is looked
on as highly significant Of the trend
Of things at the Capitol. Mr.. Mon
dell is not only leader but a member
Of the Republican steering commit
tee, and in a position to have much
influence in the House.
In the past, the agitation for suf-
frags for the District has received
but little real and thorough consid-
