Mrs. Stookey is holding the post of reporter general by appointment, but this appointment musi be ratified by the Congress. Believe Election Safe. Election of Mrs. David D. Caldwell the District of Columbia’s candidate for vice president general, was believed | 1o be comparatively safe. Her suppor ers in the District were waging a vi orous last-minute campaign in her be- helf with assurances of Strong Support In her national defense report, MIs. William Sherman Walker sad: “It is well known that the national defense committee took a firm stand in support of an adequate Navy, while the cruiser agitation was going on in_Congress. Our society still stands for a Navy com- mensurate with Americans past, present and future.” Her report repudiated the charge fre- quently heard that the Army ana Navy want war. “Our committee answers that such an | assertion insults and indicts their in-| telligence and training,” sha declared. | “It is unfair to say that those Who know most about war are the first to want it in. “After the World War, the first to organize to prevent another war, were those who had been in the trefiches. They also are the ones, who best know the disaster of being unprepared, if and when an emergency occurs. “War is an act of the people and of the Government, and not of the Army.” Propaganda Exposed. Mrs. Walker devoted most of her re- | gt to an exposure of propaganda de- signed, she claimed, to deceive the American people that preparations and | expenditures for t. Army and Navy and national defense constitute at least 80 per cent of the annual actual ex- penditures by the Federal Government. “Only five and a fraction cents out of every taxed dollar go for national defense,” she declared. She added that @ fraction of the amount spent in the United States on luxuries would support the Armiy and Navy in fine shape. The feport pointed out that pacifists and other alleged propagandists also misrepresent the personnel strength of the Army. Among the four resolutions adopted by the Congress today was one pledg- ing the co-operation of the national society with the Virginia D. A. R. in celebral the commemoration of the battle of Yorktown, the one hundredth and fiftieth anniversary of which will be observed in October, 1931, Presi- dent Hoover has accepted the invita- tion of the Sesqui-Centennial Commis- sion_to deliver the address of the day on October 19, 1931. Fix Creed Day. ‘The third resolution put the congress on record as designating April 3 as | American's Creed day, and recommends | that congresses throughout the coun- ry hold._exercises on this day. The 1 tion* points out that the *“American’s Creed,” written by William Tyler Page, clerk of the House-of Repre- sentatives, was accepted as & memory of America’s civic faith by the commis- | sloner of education on behalf of the Government. It has further been ac- cepted by the American people, the reso- lution stated, as expressing “their be- lief in and adherence to the funda- mental principals therein stated.” In the other resolution adopted today, it empowered the national board of managment to eliminate such obsolete rules of the society as is necessary to facllitate the work of revision and codi- fication of the standing rules. Activities Reported. The congress sat as a committee of the whole on the state of the Nation | last night, when regents from every | State and Territory reported on lcflv-l ities of the society during the year. A quick resume wouid be that from Maine to Wi n and fram Minnesota to Mexico, and out into the Pacific to ‘Hawail and the Philippines, local chap- ters everywhere are interested in edu- cational work, in conservation of na- tional resources, in preserving historl- cal spots wherever located, and in Americanism. From Maryland, Mrs. Robert A. Welsh of Millersville, State regent, reported that her Americanism committee had classes in a public school, where 20 na- tionalities were enrolled. The Mary- land D. A. R. has planted a mile of trees at Ye Coole Springs, and the D.| A. R. forest project at Fort Frederick is being supported by all the chapters. ‘The Maryland conservation exhibit of the State D. A. R. has been sent by the | State of Maryland to the Forestry Con- servation Congress at Memphis, Tenn. | ‘The boundary of Old Baltimore Town has been marked with bronze tablets, and the Old Friends’ Meeting House in Cecil County, which was used as a hos- pital during’ the Revolution is being Testored. Mrs. Natheniel Beaman of Norfolk, State regent of Virginia, reported the restoration of the old custom house at Norfolk as a D. A, R. museum as the outstanding feat of the year. This is the oldest custom house in America. The shot tower at Wytheville, used- by the colonial army, has been acquired by the D, A. R., and a road is being built to the graves of James and Dolly Madison at Montpelier. The delegates were reminded that the sesquicenten- ;1;211 at Yorktown will be celebrated in need no ‘breaking in”. They're built as nature would build shoes. 1318 G St. N.W. Oity Club Bids. J. P.

The advantages of having a member of the White House family as a nation- al officer in the society were advanced by the supporters of Mrs. Theodore Jesse Hoover as the delegates filed into the basement of Memorial Tontinental Hall this morning to select one of the 11 candidates for the eight places for vice president general. Those in favor of the election o# the President's sis- ter-in-law swept aside as unimportant the contention that the election of Mrs. Hoover would give California two new members of the national board, as the election of Mrs. Lyman Stookey of Cali- fornia for the office of reporter general to the Smithsonian Institute is con- ceded. Those in the know ‘are inclined to think that, even with® the hint of prejudice against two cagdidates from one State, Mrs. Hoover \has a good | chance for election, A § Mrs. Hoover is staying at the White House and many of the delegates re- gard as a sign of presidential approval of the candidacy of his" sister-in-law the fact that President Hoover'left his duties in the executive office yesterday afternoon to personally receive,and shake hands with each of the 3700 | members of the congress who recelved | cards to the White House.

LONDON, April 17 (#)—Peter Free- man, a Welshman, is perturbed by the groans of lobsters after they are put into bolling water in the House of Commons_ kitchen..

Scott is one of the early arrivals in the hall and occupies a prominent seat in one of the front boxes. He is on the advisory board of the society, and has done much to ald the society in patriotic endeavors. Col, Scott and his attractive daughter, Mrs. Russell W. Magna, chairman of the finance committee of Constitution Hall, who is affectionately called the “gold digger of the D. A. R.” gave the box known as the President’s box in Constitution Hall, and there are numer- ous chairs about the spacious audi- torium that the soclety has Co!. Scott to thank for. Col, Scott is a member of a score of patriotic organizations. He is past royal chief of the Scottish Clans, the largest body of American Scotchmen. He is president of the Stevens Society and the Walter Scott School for Crippled Children in New York. He is the ssor of the Legion Honor of ance, the Order of of Austria. ‘Mrs. Lowell Fletcher Hobart, presi- dent general of the D. A. R., praised the newspapers “covering” the congress at the close of the afternoon session yes- told of receiving the original of the cartoon by Clifford K.

An outstanding figure in the Texas delegation is Mrs. E. J. Fellowes, curator of the San Antonio de Bexar Chapter of San Antonio, Tex. Mrs. Fellowes will be 80 years of age next month, but is more keenly alive to every interest than most of half her years. Mrs. Fellowes’ father, George Wilkins Kendall, in 1837 founded the New Orleans Picayune, for years one of the leading newspapers of the South. In 1841 he was a member of the Santa Fe expedition and following the Mexican War, during which he served as aide to Gen. North, he served as a member of the expedition which surveyed the boundary between Texas and Mexico. The Kansas delegation to the D. A. .
