sttuICn of the National Society OF tine
daughters or tac American Reyoiu. ion
were offered a. Last years congress that
are causing az present widespread discus
sion in ID. A. r. circles u is expected
that some very lively debates win occur
when these additions and changes are
brought uD for settlement and discussion
at the comIns congress of the Daughters

The amendment which Is likely to cause
more animated debate than any other r.
thar offered by MIS-. Burrows. which aims
az the amendment Of article y. section 3.
so that 10 shall read Each chapter shall
be entitled 10 be represented at the con
tncutal congress by It's regent, or her
alternate and one delegate. or her alter
nate, for every one hundred members In
the opinion OF some OF the members this
amendment viii be killed" because it
takes away the representation from chap
ters that have less than one hundred
members
Eligibility for Office.
Another amendment liable 10 create
quite a stir and be defeated is that Of
fered by Mrs. Coleman. 1t amends ar
ticle N, section !. by adding the words.
And no one shall be eligible 10 hold Of
ice IN the National Society until she has

Of such expenses" The prospects for this
amendment. according 10 the opinion Of a
member Of the ID. A. R., are also very
gloomy.
Mrs. Ward S amendment aims also at
the reduction Of representation, and if
prognostications are in order it might be
said that il viii fail OF being incorporated
ia the constitution OF the society
Article v section 4. is moved to be
amended by Mrs. Roberts as follows The

lowing amendment and it is supposed to
be one OF those which viii be adopted It
reads The national board Of manage
meut shall be an administrative body and
II shall carry out the ordering of the con-
