Woman's Branch.
 Jacksonville, Fla, May 20, 1901. Mrs. J. Morgan Smith, South High lands. Birmingham. Ala:
 Dear Madam Regent-The necessity for help in the way of clothing ana money, in, Jacksonville, is very great and up to this time the D. A. K. nave not helped in any way.
 As State Regent. l feel this matter very keenly because of my pride in the society.
 The Daughters of the Confederacy. came immeditely to our aid and also the Colonial Danes.
 Will you not as State Regent, make an appeal to the different Chapters throughout your State. in our behalf? We need money more than anything else in order to buy sewing machines, cooking stoves and things of this des- cripton that cost too much to send.
 You cannot imagine anything like the condition that exist here among the people who tried to support themselves before the fire with their needles and machines, everything gone, and many cases of sickness already here.
 If ever help was needed from the D. A. R. 1t is right now and when this suffering can be remedied by little immediate help. Very cordially.
 Kathrine Livingston Eagan,
 (Mrs. Dennis Eagan).
 State Regent D. A. R., Florida.
 We ned not add a word in support of this pressing and touching appeal. Ala bama D. A. R.s can help materially and will do it. We ask that they will be prompt and send money, cloth ing, etc., etc., to the above address. DO not delay Now is the time to help. 
 The National. Board will meet June Eth, but we advise Alabama Regents not to forward applications to be ap- proved at that meeting, but hold them for the October meeting. If admitted then they will not have to pay dues again until February, 1903 person joining the D. A. R. s in october of any year, gets six months membership gratis.

 Chapter Reports.
 The meetings of the Mobile Chapter Are well attended. Interest Is growing and the membership is steadily ln- creasing. We feel that our organiza- ton is perfected as the charter has been received which will be formally nresented to the Mobile Chapter at the next meeting Now that we are full-fledged organization we VIII set to work in earnest and hope in the fu- lure to accomplish things worthy the aim and objects of the Daughters Of the American Revolution. Locating the graves of the Revolutionary soldier appeals to us. and we have decided to engage in the search which is an i'm portant line of work. The question or reducing the representation to Congress wac fully and clearly discussed at the last meeting and it was unanimously decided that the whole organization would be benefited by this change. The lineage books were received with much delight by the Mobile daughters. These will prove a great benefit to our Chapter as they will enable many to find their revolutionary heroes and join the band of patriotic women in Mobile Through the courtesy of MT. A C.. Hart these books were placed in the Y. Me CA Library where fhnv will be accessible to the members
