When the Mad
 March Hare Is
 Host At FrOlic

'It's time for Mad March Hare" party. From invitations to goodbyes the occasion offers generous opportun- ities for simcn-pure Alice In- Wonder land foolishness.
 To begin with. the invitations may be written upon tiny bunny cards, con cealed in boxes filled with straw. Tn ! hymed prose, the invitations might i,egin in some such fashion as If you are daffy to have a perfectly crazy evening with the Mad March Hare. come to his lair" etc.
 When the guests arrive. they may be escorted to the living room by the host disguised with large papier- mache rabbit head. On 8 center table should be placed a large basket filled with small bunnies, one of which is to be presented to each guest The guest then is known by the name on a card around his bunnys neck-he may be Belgian Hare" Welsh Rabbit" or any other species of the hare family.
 Among the ''mad" games which may be played is one at which the guests may be seated around the table or in two rows of chairs. Immediately upon Icing seated, they are asked to change places with tkeir right-hand neighbors. After this change each guest should be given a pad with pere-:l attached. and asked to make drawing of March street scene. on which only four

That was why he couldn't persuade the people to search for the master, Probably Certeis had origi- nally employed him because of his abil- ity to control the male inhabitants Of the hacienda. Not more than a fourth of them would ever be loyal to any leader, I decided, after rapid survey of the crowd. Probably some of them were Carranzists, some were follow CTS of one popular general" some trailed after each new political star .
 The poverty of the people hurt me. l. was habitual poverty, the poverty or tfose for whom government does nothing. The people were so used to their misery that it never occurred to them to resent political exploitation.
 Theirs was the poverty of an unedu- cAted people-tf1e poverty of the lazy.
 Everything man uses comes from the soil and is made fit for mans con sumption by the work of mans hands. When men refuse to work, either from physical laziness as it is developed in hot climates, or from the mob spirit as developed in Russia, or from false pened in more than one civilized coun- try since the war-whenever. men re- fuse to labor they court starvation for themselves and their neighbors. concluded my reverie with the com ment.

Says Real South Is Not Opposed
 To Suffrage

WASHINGTON, b. C.-Legislators and politicians alone are responsible for the general view that the south is opposed to votes for women. is the opinion of Mrs. Josephus Daniels, wife of the secretary of the navy.
 Southern Reputation
 Mrs. Daniels said she thought it would be the greatest pity if the south ern states shoIld not ratify the amend ment. as it would be the first break in the reputation southern men hold for giving women what they want.
 No class of women has ever been considered more of the clinging vine type than the women of the south.'
