A New Organization to be Established in
Topeka


A New Organization to be Established in
Topeka.
Topeka is to have chapter of the
Daughters Of the American Revolution
if a sufficient number of eligible mem
bers can be found in the state. DR.. Eva
Harding and Dr. Agnes Haviland, who
can trace their brave ancestry back as
far as 1923 have started the organization,
and have written to Mrs Adlai Steven
son, president general of the national
organization for the constitution and by
laws. The national society of the
Daug hters of the Revolution was organ
lied in Washington, d. G., in 1890, and
the officers are prominent women
throug hout the country. Any woman is
eligible for mem bership who is eighteen
or more years Of age and who can
show documentary evidence that her
cestors took an active part in the revolu-
ton. In this evidence the names of all
the ancestors as remote as the great
great great great grandfather must be
given. and the one designated who fig
ured ia the revolution. The require
ments are not as rigid as those governing
the mem bership in "TheColonial Danes"
but it is an organization that women are
very proud to be q member of, and about
the only consideration in belonging to it
is the "hOnor" of it. as it does not attempt
work of any kind. Beside Dr. Harding,
DR.. Haveland and her daughter Blossom,
Mrs. II. @. Adams and daughters Zu
and Harriet are eligible for mem bership,
and Mrs. N. f. Handy and Mrs. A. II.
Horton and daughter. DR.. Harding has
not attempted to find others yet. but be-
fore an organization can be completed
twelve members are necessary.
