A. R. ACTIVITIES The Statc exccutive committee was in session Friday evening in the digni- fled and comfortable surroundings afforded by the United States Chamber of Commerce Building, with the State regent, Mrs. James M. Willey, presiding. Forty-six chapters responded to roll call, a number coming in later. All State officers were present and one na- tional officer, Mrs. John M. Beavers, vice president general. The State treasurer, Mrs. R. L. Oat- ley, reported receipts and disbursements covering a total of $5,268.01, the largest single item of receipts being $150. Her report covered 11 pages and was com- plete to date. Her books are closed for the official year. Mrs. . W. Husband, Americanism committee, said the ques- tionnaire sent out from her office is for chapter regents to fill in such items as they can, leaving others blank, and to furnish a full statement of special work done by the chapters in American- ism, mentioning money contributions. Miss Nellle Grant Ross, chairman con- servation and thrift, and Mrs. Thomp- son, State historian, made similar re- quests. Miss Ross has secured Will C. Barnes of the Forestry Service to give his {llustrated lecture in the Interior Department auditorium April 25. Mrs. David D. Caldwell, chairman Constitution Hall finance committee, urged all chapters to complete payment on ‘chairs before April 1. She felt that members should make sacrifices in order to complete the milton-dollar fund be- fore that date, total amount paid to date is $730,540.58. The District of Columbia D. A. R. stands tenth in the amount of money contributed and $600 has been paid in to the State potential donor fund of $1,000. The chief discussion of the evening centered around the questions of per capita tax in support of the “Immi- grant’s Manual” and the procession of flags at the Arrll congress in which the District of Columbia Daughters can not be represented because the District has no State flag. The Slate regent, Mrs. Willey, sald she had repeatedly pre- sented the matter at the national board meetings and had asked that the District representation be allowed to carry. the Stars and Stripes, since there is no distinctive State flag. Thus far the request has been refused. With re- gard to the “Immigrant’s Manual,” Mrs. Husband said that the supply has been exhausted and that the committee is without funds. There are 6,600,000 un- naturalized persons in the United States and this manual is of the utmost value in the work among these people. The manual is published in 16 languages and the Chinese and Japanese lan- guages are to be included in the next publication of the book. The State conference and annual meeting of the District D. A. R. will be held March 1 and 2 and an ad- journed meeting on March 30, at which time Mrs. Brosscau will be present. The reports of chapter regents will be given March 2. The nominations for State officers will begin at 4:30 o'clock March 1. the election to follow. The galleries will be open at all times to members and the main floor on March 2. The State regent, Mrs. Willey, ex- pressed her thanks and gratitude for the suppqrt extended to her during her term of office, which will end on the closing day of the April congress. chairman The State historic committee held its Mrs. Harry H. Thompson, presiding. told of the marker which had been placed by the Claremont, N. H., Chapter on the grave of Capt. John Coolidge, in Plymouth, Vt. Capt. Coolidge, an ancestor of President Coolidge, was of the sixth generation of that family liv- ing in this country. He was a minute- | 1m;m and fought at the battle of Lex- ngton. the Valley Forge Memiorial, and the growing interest in this work was evinced by the number of chapters re- cently enrclled as members of the Valley Forge Historical Society. Miss Ren- nolds bespoke a greater interest in the restoration of Wakefield, the birthplace of Washington, as one of our National shrines. Miss Dorsey told of the work done by the Wakefizld Memorial As- scciation, and of its plans which had been accepted by the Fine Arts Commis- slon. She urged that as chapters and {as individuals members should each — | have a part in rebuilding the old home. The room in which Washington was born is to be given by the Children of the American Revolution. In closing she spoke most appreciatively of the loyal and enthusiastic co-operation of the State historic committee in this pa- February May Boast of” was the sub- ject of a paper by Miss Glassle.

The Continental Dames Chapter cele- brated its twenty-fourth anniversary on February 11, in a pleasing and fitting manner. A birthday luncheon was served at Colller's Inn, with many members in attendance and with Mrs. James Willey, State regent, as the honor guest. The table was decorated with floral pleces, flags and Valentine placards. Mrs. Kerr, chairman of the luncheon committee, introduced Miss Helen Stout, who placed Hawailan leis about the necks of Mrs. Willey and Mrs. Ed- mund K. Fox, chapter regent, and also presented Hawalian tapa cloths to each of them as mementoes of the occasion. Mrs. Willey and Mrs. Fox accepted these tributes in well chosen remarks. Mrs. Seidemann, who had resided in Honolulu for several years, described the native custom of bestowing lets and also read a verse on the word “Aloha” which frequently accompanies the cere- mony. Mrs. Fugitt followed with an original poem of birthday greetings. Miss Stput read reminiscent accounts of former birthday celebrations from the earliest record hooks of the chap- ter, and Mrs. Frank Foltz read an item bringing out the fact that Washington's birthday was on February 11 under the old calendar which was used prior to the adoption of the Gregorian cal- endar. This date corresponds to the chapter birthday date. After some time was spent in social intercourse, a vote of thanks was ex- tended to the luncheon committee for the delightful celebration.

In her report she stated that she had been appointed by the president-general as a delegate to the Women's Patriotic Conference. and that she served as chairman of a subcommittee on cre- dentials. Mrs. Greenewalt spoke of the interesting features of this meeting, composed of the representatives of thirty-four patriotic organizations com- posed entirely of women. She stated that they agreed unanimously upon adequate national defense, as outlined in the Government's national defense act of 1920, but the conference went a |step farther and voted unanimously | that the United States should have a Navy second to none. Mrs. Greene- | walt outlined the high points of Con- | gresswoman Rogers’ address upon “Pre- | paredness,” stating that she brought {out fine arguments to prove that pre- | paredness and stren; to defend a {nation from attack prevented war. The regent gave an account of the D. | C. D. A. R., telling of the various com- | mittees and their specific work. The names of three new members were submitted. Mrs. L. S.
