The Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton didn't get very far on the road with the
regular business this morning. Three-min-
ute reports of state regents consumed most
of the time, as twenty-three states were
heard from, that is, regents from those
states stood on the platform, were intro
duced and went through the motions of
making report. The congress didn't seem
to be greatly interested, and the president
general had no little trouble in keeping
order.
The states reporting through their regents
were follows: Alabama Mrs. J. Morgan
Smith; California Mrs. John F. Swift; Col
orado, Mrs. Charles A. Eldridge; Connecti-
cut, Mrs. Sara Thompson Kinney; Della
ware, Mrs. Elizabeth Clarke Churchman;

Inc reports, without exception evidenced
healthy growth and Astounding prosperity,
ara were eminently pleasing to the con-
gress Among the notable features of the
reports was the interest taken in Cont
mental Memorial Hall. Indiana reported
81 600 as her contribution for the year. The
New York state regent reported with evil
dent pride the fact that New York is
again the banner state of the D. A. r, in
everything" which elected laughter and
applause.
1t was decided by the Daughters to ac-
cept the invitation of the state regent of
Virginia, Mrs. Thomas B. Lyons, to make
a pilgrimage to historic Jamestown. Mrs
Thomas Nelson Page was made chairman
upon her committee are Mrs. Franklin E.
