d. 4. r. Badly Mixed Up
In Maze of amendments

The first snag in the current congress
OF daughters Of the American Revolu-
ton was struck in the morning session
today, wheE the last amendment III tie
lis of those proposed came up for con-
sidcration. Ten amendments were pre-
pared and listed for early business on
Monday. but owing TO the time lost H..
getting down to business Monday and
tho ceremonies of yesterday. the amend
nents have been carried through three
days.
Each year the congress systematically
presents and kills a series of amend
ments to the constitution. and it had ef-
fectively laid on the table with amazing
regularity nine amendments when
the tenth. which referred directly to
amending the constitution, came up and
the congress was precipitated into a dis
cgssion that promised 10 be carried into
tile afternoon session.
First Real Split.
The amendment which caused this first
real split in the current congress read:
NO amendment to an amendment TO
the constitution or bylaws shall be
acted upon by the same congress IN
which il is proposed. - The amendment
was made by Mrs Matthew T. Scott
vice president general of Illinois. and
seconded by Mrs. Donald Mclean, of
New York. 1t was vigorously opposed
by Mrs. ROome. of the District OF Co
iumbia: Mrs. Salisbury OF Connecticut:
Mrs Kramer. of Illinois. and others.
A series of vigorous speeches was
made notably by Mrs. Mclean, who re-
ceived an ovation when she took the
platform.
The congress debated for and against
the amendment until two-thirds of the
number of delegates completely lost the
main motion. and by their own state
ments had no idea of what they We're
voting for when rising vote was called
for. When order was finally restored
and delegates were convinced that II
was the amendment proper on which
they were supposed TO vote, the count
was made, with 2S IN the Affirmative
and 139 in the negative. Inasmuch as
there was not A two-thirds vote, the
motion was lost by default, and the last
amendment in the list Of ten followed
the other nine as a former President OF
the United States might say, into
state OF ''innOcuous desuetude''
