NATIoNAL d. 4. n. CONGRESS.
A&eport of State Regent, Mrs. Sarn Il
Ktnney-Llst of Delegates.


The report of Mrs Sara T. Kinney
state regent of the Connecticut Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution, pre-
pared for the national convention of the
ID. A. r. now meeting in Washington
gives some interesting facts concerning
the organization in this state. 1t shows
that there are now forty-one chapters
In Connecticut, with a total member
ship of 1916. Since Mrs. Kinney was
elected state regent, three years ago,
the membership has increased from /,
100 to 1916, and during the past year
$3,601 was paid over to the national or
ganlzation. The Connecticut chapters
raised and distributed for the war relief
work $7,15SS7
In her report Mrs. Kinney states that
Connecticut is probably no longer the
banner state in point of membership,
as New York has probably forged ahead
and passed her. Mrs Kinney states
that the organization is practically
completed in Connecticut. She reports
that she has appointed Mrs. Hugh Grit
fin regent in London and Mrs Charles
-. Turner regent in Ottawa, both of
these women being members of the Wa
terbury chapter.
About two hundred delegates from
this state are attending the national
convention. The convention met at
noon yesterday and among the appoint
ments of congressional officers then an
nounced are Miss Henry of Rockville
and Miss Hill of Norwalk. The dele

The bond market shared in a general

FOOTBALL.

Philadelphia, Feb. 20.-The University
Of Pennsylvania has finally closed nego-
tiations for a football game with the
University of Michigan to be played in
this city on November II. This gives
Pennsylvania the strongest schedule
ever before arranged for one year, and
includes games with the Indians, Uni
versity Of Chicago, University Of Michi-
gan, Harvard and Cornell during the
month of November.
The final arrangement with Michigan
practically means that Pennsylvania
will not play with the Tigers next fall.
Whether the date was held for Prince
ton until this time is only matter of
conjecture, but at any rate the sched-
ule now completed will not possibly
permit of a contest between the red
and blue and the orange and black
this year.

THE CENSUS
Two Hundred Supervisors 10 Be
 Appointed by The President.

Washington, June 16.-It is under stood that the president will appoint about POO supervisors of the census by the 18th of July. It is probable that nearly all of the whole number would be appointed by that time if the sena- tors and representatives of the va- rious states had agreed upon the men to be appointed. It is said to bs the intention to have these men appointed and examined so that they may go through a course of drilling or study by the time they are supposed to be- gin their duties. Their names will be submitted to the senate when it con- venes in December, and those who are confirmed will be prepared to go to work at once It is said that the pres ident, through Director Merriam, is accepting the recommendations or members of congress when fully agreed upon, the understanding being that only the Ibest men are to be se- lected. It IS also an understanding. now pretty thoroughly appreciated among members of congress, that no man who has failed in an examination shall be pressed for appointment on political grounds Director Merriam and the president will not countenance this.
