With this end in view, she called the debt reduc- tion program “the sunshine fund.” Subscription Plan Dropped. Owing to the financial depression, the committee did not carry out its plan of having each State contribute as many $25,000 subscriptions as would be equal to one-eighth of its active membership, she said, by which it was proposed orig- inally to wipe out the entire debt on the hall.

Other phases of her activities, Mrs. Gillentine reported, included prepara- tions for special patriotic days, pageants | and one-act plays, but the teaching of history among school children was per- haps the most important, she sald. = All States except three, she said, reported much work accomplished through lec- tures, the distribution of books and activities of a similar nature in the| schools. Honor States Listed. ‘The 16 States on the honor roll for the most outstanding historical work this year, she reported, are New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, West Vir- ginia, Wyoming, Idaho, Texas, Michigan, Washington, Illinois, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Kansas, OK'll'.hhm and Wdlzfonsln.

Mrs. Brousseau assured those mem- bers and chapters who had donated money for purchases which the com- mittee has not yet made that the delay was due solely to inability to find the desigmated objects. Constituticn Hall is the building of the “women back home,” she said, in telling them what had been accomplished during the past vear in furnishing and equipping it, a work which will be continued from year to year. She particularly called attention to the great bronze gates marking the passage between the administration building and Constitution Hall, bronze Houdon bust of Washi n, done by Barbedienne of Paris, in the niche in the rear corridor, and the re- cent acquisitions to the qutaem. gen- eral's reception room.

Vice President Curtis and Secretary of Agriculture Henry M. Hyde were the featured speakers at last night's session of the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution, but Will Rogers, cowboy comedian, who made an unexpected appearance, “stoe the show.” He ans | swered a riotous welcom> with a bil of joking about ancestors and advoca- cles. Speedy deportation of alien criminals and racketeers, tightening of the immi- gration laws and adeauate national‘de- fense were advocated by the Vice Presi- | dent in his address at the congress session, while Secretary Hyde defended the American economic system and the administration from criticlsm arising from th~ business depression. Vice President Curtis told the dele- gates to the Continental Congress the sconer undesirab'e aliens are deportes “the better it will be for our country. Would List Aliens.!

The Vice President asked aid of the organization in solving the “inseparable roblems of immigration, American- tion and naturalization.” Too often, he said, Americanization | has followed instead of preceded natu- | ralization. He also said that unemplos ment and depression had heightened the activities of a “certain group of aliens “All aliens whose object is to ov | throw our Government should be de- | ported,” Mr. Curtis declared. | Hyde Defends Capitali | 5 Referricg to the American economic | system and conditions affecting it, Sec- | retary Hyde said: “America owns three- fourths of the world's automobiles, two- thirds of the telephones, one-half of | the undeveloped water power, two-fifths of the gold and one-fourth of the cotton | spindles. | “The average man in America” he said, “is economically better off tode and has wider liberties £nd broader o) | pcrtunities, than in any previous de: ade in our national history.” Secretary Hyde said: “We have 46,- /000,000 gainfuily employed, or 8.000.00n | more than the total number of adulit males.” Adding that there exists too | great a concentration of wealth in this country, the Secretary said he knew of | no alternatives except those national- | ization measures employed in Russia { whose per capita income he quoted as | 879, as against $700 for the United | States. patriotic successful efforts g sentiment for Raps Russian Record. “In America we have depression be- | cause our productivity creates surplus of coal and ofl and wheat and cotton.” he said. “If Russia would give each of | her people an extra shirt, she would ‘have no cotton for export. “If she would abandon the forced rationing of her people and let each one of them have one-half bushel more | of wheat, she would depress no markets for other nations.” Mr. Pyde asked his hearers to review Russia’s record on religion, marriage and nationalization of property and to ask themselves whether they did not refer the viewpoint of the fathers of the church, the home and the right of property fynda- mental. ‘The failure of big baking companies. he said, to readjust bread prices to correspcnd with lower prices of other foods has tended to hold down con- sumption of wheat and flour in spite of increased sale of flour by retail stores for home baking. Wheat farmers, he said, might have benefited by more rapid readjustment in bread prices. Constitution Hall was crowded with more than 2,000 delegates and friends who attended the colorful night session, preceded by & concert by the United States Marine Band. Mrs. Lo Fletcher Hobart, the president general, | introduced the two speakers. | Pages Corral Rogers. ‘Will Rogers had slipped into the radio | room at the hall to hear the speeches |of the two distinguished Government officials, but more particularly, perhaps, to get a glimpse of the rows of bril- | 1tantly gowned femininity. He took the | precaution to lock the doors, but once | his presence became known, a dozen | or more pages beseiged it and called for reinforcements. Mrs. James J. Davis, wife of the Senator from Pennsylvania, added her entreaties. | When finally Rogers thought the | coast was cleared, after the two speech: were over, he came out into-the vorr dor to be confronted by a cordon of es. One decorated him with a na- tional officer’s wide blue and white rib- | bon, another handed him a bouquet, | and then the others got behind the | stalwart comedian and pushed him onto | the stage, where retreat was impossi- “ble, Mrs, Hobart had counted on the success of her pages, for s Mr. Rogers as soon as he made his grotesque appearance, and the house applauded him.

It is the only room to be | presented during this conference. The room is an exact duplicate ot a dining room in a Southern Colonial | home. It has been decorated to follow fashions of the period, with an original hand-carved mantel, recessed windows and pine floor. | The walls are decorated with paper | copied from the Colonial landscaping of the Revolutionary period. The lights are of antique wall lamp design. An antique sideboard, a dining table, eight chairs, corner cupboards, & grandfather | clock and other antiques make the room attractive in appearance and true to type in the building. An interesting figure at the Congress | is Mrs. Eleanor Washingtcn Howard, the last of the Washington family now living to have been born at Mount Ver- non. Mrs. Howard has served in many | offices in the society, and is an author ity on the D. A. R. and national his- tory. She is now 75 years old, and resembles very much the portrait of her ancestor, Gen. George Washington, Five pretty girls from 10 to 16 years of age, dressed in girlish uniforms with white collars and cufs, are visitors at the congress, representing the student body of the Tammassee, N. C., D. A. R. School. Mrs. John Laidlaw Buel of Connecu-i cut, who has served the soclety in many | offices and on many important commit- tees, is also & leader in other patriotic yrganizations and is to be the next pres- ident of the Colonial Daughters, who | will meet next week. Georgia, with more than 5,000 mem- bers in 97 chapters, as reported by Mrs. Bun Wyiie of Atlanta, State regent, has met all obligations and has contributed $27,448 toward patriotic education work. Two local activities of Georgia D. A. R. | have been the publishing of the county historles of the State, 26 having been | completed, and joint work with the| State Board of Education for the erad- | jcation of illiteracy. Mrs. Wylle re-| ported $36,500 in the student funds. Tllinois has 9,700 D. A. R. members in 110 chapters, 4 new chapters having been organized by Mrs. Eli Dixson o Roseville, State Tegent. Mrs. Dixson re. ported that each Iliinois chapter is sponsoring at least one_child’s club or | young women’s circle. Illinols has stu- dents attending 16 different colleges | through assistance from, the student | loan fund. Illinois is strong for R. O. T. C. and the State organization has sontributed toward the purchase of ath- letic equipment for Fort Sheridan. Fourteen thousand eight hundred and fifty dollars was contributed to the D. A. R. schools. Idaho showed advancement along all lines of endeavor, cording. to Mrs, Joseph E. Bird of Nampa, State regent. One new chapter has been organized at Wallace, flags and flag codes have been given to schools, there have been prizes for essays, Boy Scout, Girl Reserves and Red Cross work have been support- ed and all national activities have been ascisted. ‘ Towa D.

Mrs. John C. Coulter of Columbia is State regent. Mrs, Johannes B. Sylvan, also of Columbia, corresponding secre- tary of the State group, is arranging the dinner. Mrs. F. W. Burnett of Greenville, will be toastmistress. Alabama has oéo nized six new chap- ters, according Mrs. Watt Thomas Brown of Birmingham, State regent. Alabama’s principal activity is centered in the Kate Duncan Smith D. A. R. Mountain School, which now has 309 pupils with eight teachers. Toward an endowment of $50,000, $11,439.84 was raised during the year, besides paying off $4,000 indebtedness. In addition to this work at home, Alabama has con- tributed toward the work at Ellis Island and other national activities. California’s 81 chapters and more than 5,000 members, besides contribut- ing to all national work, have distinctive enterprises of their own, according to Mrs. Frank Phelps Toms of Pasadena, State regent. Mrs. Toms brought out something about the size of California. The distance from California’s north- ernmost chapter to the chapter in San Diego is about equal to that from New York City to Tampa. This has resulted in the D. A. R. being divided mto two regional councils, North and South. All of the State chapters are inter- ested in two distinctively D. A. R. ac- tivities, the migratory schools, ~here the schools follow the pupils as itinarant workers follow the many field crops from South to North, and in the new Russian-Ukrainian settlement center in Los Angeles. This latter was set up as an offset to Communist organizations among the many foreigners in Southern California. Student loans total $6,707, an increase for the year of $2,000, and 17 girls are on the list. Colorado has helped 32 students in college with student loan funds of $6,149.05 this year, according to Mrs. E. Thomas Boyd of Denver, State regent. Girl Home Makers clubs have 480 mem- bers; Sons and Daughters of the Re- public._ clubs have been organized in several towns; in several industrial ommunities night schools for foreign- rs are supported by the Colorado D. A. R. and public interest increased in the forestry and park projects. Arizona, with only seven chapters and 332 members, has given two scholar- ships in the University of Arizona and | has made student loans, in addition to the amount of $450. Mrs. Thomas ‘I. Moore, State regent, also reported night classes started by the D. A. R. for Yaqul Indians and Mexican children, and that in a number of the Indian schools the local chapters carry on educational work. _Arizona also contributed w the D. A. R. schools.

President Hoover this afternoon per- sonally planted an American elm tree in the White House grounds in memory of George Washington. This inaugurated a national tree planting movement to be conducted un- der auspices of the American Tree As- soclation, incidental to the George ‘Washington Biceatennial celebration program in 1932. It is expected that this movement will result in the plant- ing of 10,000,000 trees.
