Mrs. Sawtelle asked that all members who had not yet done so would make a special effort to send their annual dues to her as soon as possible, and urged that they add at least 10 cents as a contribution toward the monument for the Unknown Soldier of the American Revolution, as she is most anxious to | have a 100 per cent enroliment of both | junior and senior divisions of Capital Society. At the-request of the president, little iss Margaret Miller read an article on ‘The Star Spangled Banner,” composed by her and printed in a local paper of recent date. A very generous donation of paper dolls and dresses was brought by Miss Mildred Sherman that will be sent in the name of Capital Society to deserv- ing children.

There was instruction to the junior members in dancing “Capital Society Minuet” under the direction of Trimble Sawtelle and Mrs. Morgan Van Hoesen. It is planned to have rehearsals at each meeting in order that the members may be kept in good training to respond to |the numerous requests for its public performance.

Hus- band, national chairman Americaniza- tion committee, gave a talk on the work of the committee. * “Education of the ignorant within the United States as well as adequate protection from ene- mies outside the United States consti- tute the bulwark of our national de- fense,” said Mrs. Husband. “As surely as an adequate Army and Navy is essen- tial to our national security, so is the teaching of true Americanism the best possible method of combating danger from within.” The chapter then ad- journed to a social hour, when delicious refreshments were served by the hostess. Mrs, Albert S. Jones, State chairman Juvenile Protective Association, has an- nounced great progress in the work of the association during the past six months. During this period cases have been handled involving 92 families and 162 children.

The Juvenile Protective Association has been included in the 57 charities which will receive funds from the Com- munity Chest. However, the work of the association is expanding so rapidly and the need is so great that the con- tinued support of the Daughters of the American Revolution, both moral and financial, is earnestly desired.
