they passed down stairs again and out,
a rope having been stretched to divide the
lower corridor.
The Marine Band was stationed in the
main corridor and its stirring music

Reminder of Early Days.

The election yesterday afternoon was so
exciting that many of the older Daughters
were reminded of the early days of the
organization, when parliamentary pro-
cedure was almost unknown. There was
a system by which the votes were cast,
but great noise. announcements from the
platform, motions and general confusion
always prevailed. The voters were ranged
in two columns and were called alternate
ly In alphabetical order.
and the assistant chairman. Mrs. Wykoff
of New York, We're assisted by five
women at each of the two ballot boxes.
Every delegates name and badge were
carefully checked off.
Probably the hardest job the Daughters
ever have on their hands is counting
votes. The program announced that the
result would be given last night if pos
sibe, but at midnight the counters were
only about half through their task. The
count was made in one of the rooms of
the New Willard Hotel and was conducted
behind closed doors. A watchful door
keeper let one in and information was
of the most meager sort. The corridors
of the hotel were filled with Daughters.
who wore their best bib and tucker, and
both insurgent and administration parties
believed the election was theirs. AS the
night progressed the Daughters got sleepy
and one by one left the giddy scene, while
the overworked counters checked off name
after name.

ancestors accredited to her. all OF whom

other wars. Six of her ancestors marched

Mrs. Deere has gold bar on her d. A. r

Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox attends the
sessions daily. She wears no badge of

badge might be she turned back the silk
scarf which she wore and disclosed a
jewel--et picture of a cat with it's paw
extended. pinned to her dress. Mrs. Will

to work for the progress of this society
have been amply repaid"
Notes of the D. A. r.
The white marble hall with its small
AUDITORIUM is already too limited for the
delegates to the congress, and Georgia
has had to sit where it could, usually in
the gallery. but some of the time stand
ing in the back of the hall. 1t is said that
the Daughters feel that something must
be done TO relieve the congestion. The
only method would be to cut down repre-
sentation, and the delegates to the con-
gress are not inclined to do that. There
are now more than 900 chapters, and each
has regent who is entitled by her Office
of fifty members is entitled to an addi-
tional delegate with vote. When the
number of members in a chapter reaches
100 it is entitled to two delegate votes.
This gives the congress a membership
now of something like 100. though only
| so votes are present. AS the chapters

MAKE FREAK CATCH

Two Southern California anglers,
members of the Southern California
Rod and Reel club, went to Hermosa
Beach last Sunday after yellowtail. For
several hours e. r. Morse and Walter
Geft fished and fished, but nothing was
doing Finally Morse moved up the
pier about 1000 feet, and, with six
ounce rod, brought In five shovel-nose
sharks. Geft captured the same num-
Der of sharks. one of them being of the
leopard family. Geft also, on a 3-6
tackle, caught a yellowtail weighing
six ounces.
This is considered a freak, as rarely
are these fish taken under the weight
of several pounds yellowtail of six
ounces would have attracted a great
deal of attention had 1t been taken on
the other side of the channel.
