 Times-Dispateh:
 1 Mrs. Cabell Smith, fourth vice pres-
 dent of the Virginia Division of the | United Daughters of the Confederacy,
 is the originator of movement for the l Virginia Daughters to be represented at
 the Jamestown Exposition

 all of the patriotic and historic societies
 of women will be represented at the | Jamestown Exposition and believing, as l she does, that no womans organization
 Is stronger or more influential than the | Daughters of the Confederacy, she will | write to Mrs. w. R. Mckinney. express ing her idea that the Daughters should have a part to play in everything that
 concerned Virginia and its history; her
 belief that a petition should be ad- dressed to the board of governors ask | ing for a room in the Virginia exposi- ton building to be set aside for the
 Daughters use; that she desires the l United Daughters of the Confectionery
 convention at Gulfport be asked to en-
 dorse this application, and that the
 Daughters then unite in the proper ar- engagement and furnishing of such a | room: that they place a lady in charge
 who will make the influence of her or
 ganization felt and properly estimated | It is Mrs. Smiths further idea that, at all hours of the day, in this room the hostess should be prepared to serve dis | tinctive and homely Southern wartime | fare to guests; that the room be made headquarters for all Daughters of the | Confectionery visiting the exposition, and ! that the women of the Virginia division | should unite in giving a national object
