Hanger, vice chairman; Mrs. Matthew Brewster, Mrs. Howard L. Hodgkins, Mrs. Howard McCall, Mrs. Wililam Rock Painter, Mrs. Ben- jamin Purcell, Miss Janet Richards and Mrs. Theodore Strawn.

A feature of the evening service will be singing by the Northland a Cap- pella Choir, from Northland College, Wisconsin, which has been on an ex- tended tour of the country. The choir of 40 voices is accompanied by Dr. Wililam Brownell, president of the college, and Sigvart J. Steen, director. Final business of the Forty-fourth Continental Congress will be con- ducted tomorrow morning, when officers will be installed. Mrs. Roose- velt will receive the Daughters tomor- row afternoon at the White House, and the last function will be the an- nual banquet tomorrow night at the Mayflower Hotel. Last night’s session formally con- sisted of reading of the reports of State regents, including several from foreign countries. These were con- cluded shortly before 10:30, but the Daughters had to wait until nearly midnight for returns from the elec- tion. When the tellers, who had been locked up since the election, filed in, dressed in their afternoon clothes, in contrast to the evening gowns of the rest of the assemblage, there was a murmur of excitement, followed by loud applause, when the result was announced. Congratulates Victor. Mrs. Gillentine, a game loser, rush- ed to the platform, quickly to con- gratulate the winner. Before Mrs. Becker arrived with members of her winning cabinet, Mrs. Gillentine, at the microphone, in a ringing, firm voice, said: “I wish to thank all who have sup- ported me and my associate candi- dates. We appreciate deeply the sacrifice made and the service ren- dered. I have served the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution for 24 years in practically every official capacity and of late T had hoped to lead this great organiza- tion. “Tonight I have seen those hopes | and aspirations go glimmering with | the dreams of things which were. However, my philosophy of life has not broken down. Some one has said, ‘It is & test of character to lose the dream of one’s life and not become embittered.’ This defeat shall mean to me what it meant to the old South- ern darky, “His master said, ‘Malachi, do you know what defeat is?’ “‘Yassah, yassah, boss, defeat Is dem things ye stand on.’ “There are no sour grapes. If there is a tendency that way, I shall sprinkle them with sugar and they will make nice preserves. “I accept the verdict of the umpire, click my heels and salute the new commander in chief, Mrs. William A. Becker, and her cabinet and wish for them a happy and successful regime.” Shakes Hand With Rival. By this time Mrs. Becker was on the stage, and Mrs. Gillentine, turning, heartily shook her hands while the flashlights of photographers blinked and applause shook the great hall. Mrs. Becker then stepped to the microphone, briefly to thank her friends and supporters and to pledge her services to the society for the next three years. To those who had been so “diligent and faithful” she ex- tended her “deepest appreciation and heartfelt affection.” She asked “co-operation, counsel and support” from each and every one of you, and pledged the “very best of my mind, my energy and my heart.” For the D. A. R. she asked that the members display: “In large things, unity; in lesser things, tolerance; in all things, charity.” Mrs. Becker's cabinet, which was swept into office with her in the elec- tion consists of the following: Mrs. Henry M. Robert, jr., treasurer gen- eral, Annapolis. Md.; Mrs. Julius Y. ‘Talmadge, recording secretary general, Athens, ; Mrs. Lue R. Spencer, registrar general, Washington; Mrs. Charles B. Keesee, corresponding sec- retary general, Martinsville, Va.; Mrs. ‘Willlam H. Pouch, organizing secre- tary general, New York City; Mrs. Julian G. Goodhue, historian general, Evanston, TIl.; Mrs. John Y. Richard- son, reporter general to Smithsonian Institution, Portland, Oreg.; Mrs. Luther E. Thom, librarian general, Muskogee, Okla.; Mrs. Robert J. Reed, curator gener: Wheeling, W. Va.; Mrs. E. Thomas Boyd, chaplain gen- eral, Denver, Colo.

Mrs. A familiar figure in the president general’s box for many past congresses of the D. A. R. is greatly missed by the delegates. Col. Walter Scott, father of Mrs. Russell William Magna, and one of the outstanding backers of the society has been ill for some time and was unable to attend. . Col. Scott is missed among the dele- gates at this session, but frequent reminders of him meet one on every side. The largest planting of box- wood and other shrubs around the D. A. R. buildings, was made in 1926 as a contribution to the organization with his best wishes. It was through Col. Scott's generosity that Miss Vir- ginia E. Cantwell of Arlington, Wash- ington State, was presented with the only D. A. R. scholarship ever given to a 4-H Club girl. Miss Cantwell used the meaey for a course in home economics in the Agricultural College in Washington State after winning all prizes offered by the club, includ- ing a trip to Washington to attend the national encampment. Col. Scott was past royal chief, order of the Scottish Clans of Amer- ica, a large orgepization of men. ‘The members of the clerical staff who played a prominent role in the the basement of the Hall and yester- | day presented to Mrs. Magna, $100, | for the Constitution Hall fund.

Virginia and Maryland last night reported many activities in D. A. R. circles to the Forty-fourth Contin- ental Congress. Maryland was active especially last year because of the commemoration of Maryland's tercentenary, according to State Regent Mrs. Arthur P. Shanklin. The Maryland Daughters presented to their State two histarical paintings, now in the restored State House of 1676 at St. Marys City; gave $500 to the student loan fund, and a portrait of Leonard Calvert, first Gov- ernor of Maryland, to the Maryland room in Memorial Continental Hall.

Keesee, State regent, said, the outstanding work of the D. A. R. has been restoring of old, worn-out court house and other records, which would otherwise have been lost.

The age limit of the students is from “6 years of age to 6 feet.” SOCIETY IS FORMED | TO PROMOTE HAWAII R J Fifty Residents and Former Resi- dents of Island Meet in Dele- gate King's Office.” Fifty residents and former residents of Hawaii last night organized the | Hawaii Society for the purpose of promoting the welfare of the island territory, the dissemination of correct information about Hawaii and the cul- tivation of friendship and good will.

In four overflowing busses, the Children of the American Revolution, ranging in age from 12 to 79, made their annual pilgrimage to Alexandria and Mount Vernon yesterday after- noon. Leaving Memorial Continental Hall at 1:30 p.m,, they arrived at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier of the Amer- ican Revolution, in the churchyard of the Old Presbyterian Meeting House in Alexandria, at 2 p.m. Mrs. Percy M. Bailey, the national chaplain, led the group in prayer, and Mrs. Josiah A. Van Orsdel, the hon- orary national president, gave a tribute. The wreath, a gift of the Arkansas State Society, was placed on the tomb by Cynthia and Barbara Doyle, and | William Perry Doing, 3d, of the Harriett M.

MODERATION LORENZ'S | SECRET FOR LONGEVITY | Noted Vienna Surgeon, on Eve of 81st Birthday, Enjoys Smoking and Glass of Wine. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 19.—Dr. Adolf | Lorenz, Vienna's famous surgeon with the healing hands, will be 81 years old Sunday and wishes people | would stop reminding him of it. If you're happy, he said, and in- | dulge in everything with moderation, you never will realize that age is advancing upon you. But if you're an old man, you must confine your- | more than two in a room in England | self to the restricted pleasures of age or suffer its misfortunes. “You must not forget to enjoy | | smoking and a glass of wine,” he said, “and, if a friend of nature, to enjoy | Stars of the First Magnitude THE farmer has to receive dif- ferent prices for his milk. He receives his highest price for milk sold in a bottle. This price generally ranges from - 4 to 7 cents a quart; in Wash- ington it is 7 cents plus a quart. The farmer receives lower prices for the rest of his milk that the public doesn’t use in bot- tles, depending upon the sell- ing price of the products into which it is made. Butter is an object lesson in the rule of price. It takes about 1014 quarts of milk to make a pound. With butter retail- ing at 40 cents, say, the price of a quart of milk used for butter is obviously limited. What the farmer gets is not what the milkman might like to pay. It all rests with the public . . . what people are willing to pay for butter, for cheese and other milk prod- ucts. ‘The costs of raw materials can- not be more than the final selling price of any product. This is a law of business the centuries have not changed. Scientists may question the law of gravity . . . astraight line may become a curve . but 6 cents of cost and a five- cent selling price won’t keep a business going. The milkman enjoys no immu- nity to the laws of economics. Income must exceed outgo or he ceases to be liquid. No business that pays out more than it takes in will long be in. position to pay anything, to serve anybody.
