W. H. Hays named last week 10
women on the G. o. P. Committee

en- reasons why women should en-

Is working to get out a big ENROLL

campaigns OF 1920.
Here are the committees reasons:
"Because-This is a government

ties are HO pCANCl
than the individuals who compose
them, and only members of a party
can help to form the policies of a
party.
"Because-Only enrolled members
of a party can vote for party officers

from within.
"Because-Only enrolled members OF
a party can help to select the candi-

Observation-Disclosures may start
movements, but 1t takes organization
to put them through: hence work
through parties in order to accom-

Because-The citizen who has ne

councils has forfeited the right to

Washington will soon have a
glimpse of college dramatics of a
type that interests not only the pro-
verbal fond parents of the players.
but everyone who enjoys musical
comedy given in an encouragingly
different manner from the variety
whose titles shock the old and lure
the youthful. The play in question
is the Princeton Triangle Clubs new
two-act travesty, The Isle of Sur
prise" and is to appear at the Be-
lasco on the afternoon of Thursday,
February IL, at 2:15.
Press comment. which was pro-
voked by the clubs successive ap-

cities quite adequately describes the
impression which the Princeton
players left behind them in various
places.

SOME GOSSIP
FROM EUROPE.
Hungarian palaces and estates. which
before the war were valued at from
10000 to sooo0oo are being purchased
by Americans, Englishmen and French
men for comparatively insignificant
sums In some cases magnificent prop
critics have brought only from &, 900
to 10000.
Dollars are now quoted at from
twenty to fifty times their pre-war
values. and those who have sold their
property believe the exchange situation
VIII be adjusted in a short time, and
that they will profit handsomely from
the deals they have made.
Another bit of European gossip is
that the Prince of Wales Is enjoying
an epistolary pursuit by American
girls.
His royal highness continues to be
deluged with love notes. crank letters
and at least one proposal of marriage
daily from the United States. His
secretary says the prince has a gay
time going through the mail bag.
Since his return the Princes letter
pouch has contained something like
5000 letters weekly, covering every
conceivable subject. Think of it,
"All the really serious letters the
prince answers personally" his secre-
tary said. He has kept many of the
snapshots of himself sent by his ad-
mirers. Some OF the letters, particu-
larry those from prominent persons, in
dicate they were sent with the future
good relationship of Great Britain and
America at heart"
Since his return the prince has kept

A GROUND
HOG CASE.

Tomorrow is Ground Hog Day. II is
also the date of the twenty-seyenth
annual Southern Relief ball at the
Willard. The object of this ball is to
secure funds with which to assure
food, clothing and shelter to at least
seventy-five aged and destitute South
erners of the District of Columbia
Up to the present time they have been
cared for at the Southern Relief Home
at 2i8 Pennsylvania avenue, but re-
Gently this home. which has been
maintained by the Southern Relief So
ciety. has been sold over. their heads,
and the future made to look quite
dark for these helpless old people. 1t
is hoped that the ground hog will
come out and go for a long walk next
Monday. if for nothing else than to
assure fair weather to these old folk,
who depend on this ball for their year
ly bread. But more must be done
They must have a new home provided.
1t is a ''ground-hog case" as the story
goes. Of an old Methodist circuit rider
in the hills of Arkansas, where he had
completed his circuit and sent word
to good Deacon Brown that he would
put up with him for the night. The
weary. hungry preacher refined up his
iank horse at the side of the road,
where he saw a tall boy digging away
for dear life. Approaching the boy,
the preacher said:
Son, what are you after?''
I'm after a ground hog, sir" the
lad replied. without ceasing his dig
ging.
DO you think you'll catch him, my
son?"
"Ketch hell; I've got to ketch i'm.
The preacher mans comm to our
house and we're outa meat"
