BALE -JIBARO DE LAS HIJAS
CATOLICAS DE AMERICA

Las Hijas Cat6licas de America
nos llenan de algeria y de expecta-
ci6n al anunciar para el 21 de este
mes, un gran bale jibaro que Sc lie
vara a efecto en- el edi6cio de los Ca
balleros de Colon.
Las Hijas Catolicas han decidido
volver por ell criollismo que ultima-
mente iba de capa caida, y Sc prepa-
ran para hacer un gran alarde en-
este sentido. Confdencialmente Sc nos
ha dicho que para darle color local
al asunto los salones de los Caba-
lleros de Colon estaran adornados con
cepas de bamb1 verdes pencas de
palma, entire los cuales la cazuela, ell
mavi, los pasteles, ell arroZ con coco,
ETC., etc, haran su agosto.
No faltara el lechon asado que
manda el ritual.
Lo inico tfpico que no tendra la
hermosa fiesta que Sc prepara es que
las invitaciones, las cuales seran re-
partidas en- breve, seran personales
e intrasmisibles, Y seran rigurosa-
mente exigidas en- la puerta.
Sc nos informa que habra muchas
damas caballeros que asistiran
vestidos como Sc usa en- ell campo,
y las fajas rojas, los sombreros de
paia, las faldas de colores. imposibles
Y demas detalles, lie daran un subido
realce al bale v llenaran todos
de algeria buen humor.

Congress battles with the Mellon

lawmakers are apparently agreed that
the principles upon which Secretary
Mellon has based his suggestions, are
correct. But side-issues that can just
as well be handled as separate and
distinct propositions are being loaded
upon the measure-something as
riders are included in appropriation
bills. The Administration is standing
firm in support of the Mellon plan,
and Congress leaders are endeavoring
to keep as many loads as is possible
from being piled on its back Dick
ering' and trading are the order OF the
day, and it seems certain that some
kind of a tax bill will be worked out.
Memorials to Ex-Presidents
While the country generously pro-
vided memorials to ex-Presidents
Grant. Garfield and Mckinley, and
raised large sum for a monument
that has not yet been erected to the
memory of ex-President Roosevelt,
the necessity OF maintaining these
shrines has apparently been over
looked by the founders. The Hard
ing Memorial Association issues
statement covering the situation as
applied to other memorials, and shows
how new campaigns for money, and
public appropriations. have been ne
cessary to keep them up. The City
of New York maintains the Grant
tomb, and the Garfield tomb has until
recently been kept up through the
charge of an admission fee to the
grounds. The Harding Association
expects to set aside several hundred
thousand dollars as a trust fund for
maintenance.
