A great many ¢ individual chapters have co-operated in * this work and very few States, she said, have reported “no work done.” “When we have created confidence in the minds of our foreign born who are living in our midst,” the report stated, “when we meet them in a more friendly way, when there is & better under- standing between us there surely will be less fertile ground for the seed of Bolshevism, Communism and Radical- ism to flourish and grow.” Reports have been sent from all sections of the country, she said, show- ing continued interest in the work. She emphasized the work done by the New Hampshire chapters under Mrs. George H. Warren, the State chatrman. Foreign ~groups in’ this manner have become . affiliated with the D.

I The first ladies of two States, Con- necticut and Ohio, are attending the Congress—Mrs. Trumbull as & delegate and Mrs. Myers Coover, unofficially—to assist in Mrs, Lowell F. Hobart's cam- paign. Mrs. Hobart is a friend of Governor and Mrs. Cooper in their home State and they have been much interested in her effort to win the place of president general. Mrs. Trum- bull, on the other hand, combines her duties “in the Congress with the pleasant one of chaperoning her pretty daughter, Miss Florence Trumbull, per- sonal page to Mrs. Brosseau &nd flancee of John Coolidge.

Mrs. Marvin also hails from the Golden State, although she spent her student days in Los Angeles, Il( :he University of Southern Cali- ornia. Speaking of President Hoover, one of the members of the Congress press committee, of which Mrs. Amos Fries is again chairman, is Mrs. C.

She was the author of the pamphlet, “St. Lawrence Waterway and the American Home,” which was, used by the Hcoverites a Kansas City. She also served there as a member of the contact committee. k Mrs. Irwin has her Winter home here in Washing- ton now, and has become actively af- fillated with the League of Republican ‘Women of the District. #One of the famous res of the Congress is the “war president” of the D. A. R, Mrs. George Thacher Guern- sey. With a fine carrying voice, she is pretty apt to dominate the scene where- ever T{“ Her ability as an organizer brought her to the foreground of society af- fairs, At the time she took office, in 1917, the Daughters were in debt, hav- g undertaken ' the financing of Memorial tinental Hall with what proved to insufficlent funds. The installation of officers came almost coincidentally with the declaration of hostilities, 80 that Mrs. Guernsey was faced with a double problem. She rose equal to the emergency, cleared the society’s books, raised a fund of $100,- 000 to be invested in Liberty bonds (the interest of which today is supporting the remaining “Real Daughters”); an- other $50,000 to reconstruct the ruined water system of a village in northern France, and guided the membership through the sale of millions of dollars in bonds in support of the Government. ‘She is today one of the four honorary presidents general, elected for life by the society.

I am doubly surprised that any such procedure should have been adopled. I had frequently conferred with H. Ralph Burton, counsel for the D. A. R, with reference to the appeal which Mrs. Bailie had taken to arrange a date on which it would be heard and in which appeal I expected to represent Mrs. Bailie. “While Mr. Burton was careful to say that he had no authority to determine what the Continental ‘would do before it in fact met, he concurred with me apparently on the ety of the rocedure to be taken on this a) as vol the right on Mrs. llflm“ 3 b!vlnl ght on part had that the it received from him ‘was in reply to mine, and which read as follows: “ ‘Congress meets next Monday and I shall then promptly ask that at the first opportunity your request to arrange date for Baille matter for latter part of week after Wi be presen “Not _ha 4 Concr,;te Delivered —in otir TRANSIT MIXER.

Methods by which radicals are spreading theories of companionate marriage and communism in the home, school and church were denounced in the report of Mrs. Willlam Sherman Walker, chairman of the national de- fense committee, ‘submitted yesterday to the Thirty-eighth Continental Con- gress of the D. A. R. “The national defense committee has been holding aloft for three years the banners of Americanism and now we truly believe reinforcements are com. ing,” Mrs. Walker declared in describing efforts of her committee to combat the spread of communistic doctrines. “Many facts,” she sald, “have been furnished young people tending to off- set the falacious theorles of com- panionate marriage and other obstruc- tions to hmlnen of family relations.
