the dry educational campaign to the
100000 young people in our schools

Take Possession Of
Famous Old House
In Georgetown

Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore Gill have
taken possession of the house in
Georgetown, at 1922 P Street. This
house was the property of the lat
ter's father, Albion Keith Paris
though he has not occupied it for
q number of years. The last occu-
pant was Mrs. Charles Sheldon,
who after the death of Mr.. Sheldon
about a year ago, gave up the resi-
dence. and is now making her
home in New York.
The latter had. perhaps, one of
the most interesting collections of
books in the city. They had book
cases built from one end Of the
house to the other to accommodate
the 5000 volumes which Mr.. Shell
don spent years in collecting, in
all parts of the world. He also was
interested in wild game hunting
and in going through the house
one would just as apt to stumble
over the stuffed head of giraffe
or bear skin lying in detected
position on the floor, as not.

Mrs. Charles FL. Sabin Is Forming Local
Committee for Prohibition Reform
Former G. o. P. Leader
Seeks Aid Among Cap

While President Hoover
and Senator Howell and
others appear to be doing
their utmost to make Wash
ington a "model city," ac-
cording to the wishes of the
Anti-Saloon League, W. c. T.
1T. and similar advocates Of
the dry cause, there is going
on quietly in Washington the
organization Of a group OF
women, following the leader
ship of Mrs. Charles Fl. Sa-
bin, Republican, Of New
York, who also would like
to see the Capital a model
city but modelled with a
more liberal appreciation of
personal rights.

cided upon, but many Of the
leaders of Washington society
are coming the literature"
sent from the headquarters of
the Women's Organization for
National Prohibition Reform
that is, from Mrs. Sabin's
organization.
"Don't say anything about it
yet," says one of these leaders,

staunch supporter of President
Hoover. "Wait until Mrs. Sabin
is ready to announce the chair
man Of the Washington COM
mittee. Yes, I am helping her."
eyes, / have been asked to
be on the committee" says
another, ''but I don't know. I
don't like to be on committees
much. Still I like the idea of
protest against this prohibition
narrowness and insolence.
No Sympathy
1t will be recalled that Mrs.
Sabin resigned her position as Re-
publican national committeewonan
from New York early in the spring.
At the time it was reported that
she did this because of lack Of
sympathy with the G. o. P.'s warm
espousal of the national water
wagon driven by Bishop Cannon,
DR.. Clarence True Wilson and
other whip-cracking charioteers.
At any rate this Venus risen
from the reform wave rapidly set
about forming among women the
present nationwide group whose
purpose is to effect modification
of the prohibition laws.
This daughter of the one-time
Secretary of the Navy. Paul
Morton. has much to commend
her. She has good.Iooks and keen
Intelligence and the will to achieve.
The roster of the organization
sponsored by Mrs. Sabin contains
some Of the most impressive
names in the social life of the
country.
