Of New York, leader OF the insurgents In
opposition to the present administration,
and who has twice been candidate for
the Office of president general, Is here
rallying her forces and gaining new votes
for the future. That she will be elected
when Mrs. Scott goes out Of office is the
prediction made by many, even some OF
the supporters of the administration.
There are others, however. who declare
that the administration is to put a strong
candidate in the field to oppose Mrs.
Story. The name Of Mrs. Champ Clark,
wife Of Speaker Clark, was mentioned
today as a possibility, but It is said that
in the past Mrs. Clark has not been
friendly with the Scott administration,
and 1t is remembered that she befriended
a clerk who was summarily dismissed
from the D. A. r. headquarters by Mrs.
Scott about two years ago.
Some OF the women who have been
mentioned as possible candidates for the
Scott party to succeed Mrs. Scott. are
Mrs. John Miller Horton Of Buffalo. N.
T.: Mrs. Alexander Patton OF Pennsyl-
Tennessee. Mrs. Scott herself has not
ANNOUNCED whom she will support for the
Office.
Choice Of Vice Presidents General.
While this is an "off year." so far as
the election Of a president general is con-
cerned, the terms Of ten of the board Of
twenty vice presidents general expire
with this session. and their places must
be filled. Those who go out Of office In
clude Mrs. John T. Sterling Of Connect
cut, Mrs. La Verne Noyes of Chicago,
H.. Mrs. Egbert Jones of Mississippi.
Mrs. George Scott Shackleford Of Vir-
ginia, Miss Ellen Mecum of New Jersey,
Mrs. Emily p. 8. Moore of Vermont, Mrs.
Andrew K Gault of Nebraska, Mrs. Ed
ward Randall of Texas. Mrs. William e.
Stanley Of Kansas and Miss Anna Caro-
line Benning of Georgia.
Some of these ten vice presidents gen.
eral are candidates for reelection. and
their campaigns already are going on
apace. Several contesting candidates also
are In the field. and the ten who receive
the highest number of votes when the
ballots are cast Wednesday will be de-
clared elected.
One OF the most interesting OF the
campaigns is that being conducted In
the interest of Mrs La Verne Noyes

President Generals Address.

President Generals Address.
The Presidents address was followed
Immediately by that of Mrs. Scott, presi-
dent general. She did not deal with the
politics of the organization, but urged
the Daughters to still greater efforts in
making the D. A. R. valuable asset of
the country. She said. in part:
Just twenty-one short years ago there
met in this our National Capital small
group of noble and far-sighted women,
past, to dwell with admiration and love
upon the heroic achievements of the
mighty dead, and whose prophetic glance,
likewise, swept forward into the formless
majestic panoramic vision of generation
after generation of devoted sons and
daughters working out the exalted des-
tiny of common country. THESE women
were the beloved and honored originators
of the National Society, Daughters of the
American Revolution-the mighty organ
ization which. in less than one genera
tion has sprung from that small begin
ming.
ladies, I regret to state that there
are people in this land who still persist
in misunderstanding our aims and pur-
poses. There are those who. in spite OF
all the evidence to the contrary, decline
to see in us anything but species OF
motion of pink teas and ancestor wor-
ship.
istence of necessity, our energy ana
time were largely devoted to the work
Of building up our numerical strength
and keeping green in the national con-
seriousness the record and recollection OF
old revolutionary heroes and old reyolu-
tionary days. Let it be said to the honor
of the great leaders of our society, dur
ing its early formative period. that with
a rare and splendid prescience they in
tuitively OWNED that mere numerical
strength will never make us great; that
a slavish devotion to the memories OF
past heroes and past heroism is not SUI
ficient nor satisfactory sign that the
blood of revolutionary sires still courses
in our veins.
From the very inception Of our organi-
zation, we have felt the inspiration of the
lofty and sublime conception that it is
our high duty and privilege to keep
brightly burning upon our national
hearthstone the true patriotic fire Of old
revolutionary days. Or. in other words,
that it is our mission to bring to the So
luton Of every national problem with
which we are confronted spirit of UNI
selfish devotion.

the express purpose of enabling mep as

ing power in the great work of raising
the standards of the business and indus
trial worlds, both as to the purity of the
product offered to the public, and the
fairness of the treatment acceded to en-
ployes. OF all the splendid movements
and causes which today invite our CO.
operation and support, this is one of
many which seem to me to fall naturally
within our province.
Ladies, far be it from me to say that
the members of our sex may not some
day decide to undertake, in addition to
their other duties, the heavy responsible
ties of the voter and political worker.
Perhaps it may transpire that upon our
planet the true. superman is woman, and
that she is entirely capable of doing the
mans work s we'll as her own. But, in
the interim. until this fact has been salts
factorily demonstrated, let us devote our
selves intellectually to what is more
particularly woman's work.

Mrs. Frances Ingraham Mann, vice presi-

Duty of the Organization.

LAS a nation, we have been content in
recent years to doze and sleep on our
moral and political laurels OF world lead
ership. Action, disinterested, aggressive
action-is called for-action worthy OF our
ancestors. and worthy Of the occasion.
Among the many opportunities for
public service which today are open to
women in this country there are three
to which 1 wish to direct your attention
for a few moments. The first is that of
the unrealized possibilities of the home
life of the nation. There can be no dis
putting the fact that goodly number
of American women are wonderfully sue
cessful home makers. But at the same
time it must be admitted that a large
number Of our household mstresses must
plead guilty to the charges Of extrava-
gance-tecanical ignorance of household
economy-and a considerable degree OF
all-round inefficiency, both as housekeep-
ers and as home makers, for the terms
are not synonymous. Our country is in
dire need of a woman who will do for
the home what a distinguished inventor
and public benefactor of Philadelphia has
done for the factory-that Is. introduce
an efficiency system.
This is my idea of the relatedness of
patriotism to the home. Is there any
question that this is truly patriotism in
it's essence, in the mind Of any member
of this organization?

Education Of the Young.

1.-THE second realm Of opportunity
which l want to point out to you Is in
connection with the schooling Of the
young. We are all aware that the large
majority Of our common and high school
teachers are women. In many OF our
states women vote for members of the
school board, and if a majority of them
really wanted this right there is no doubt
| that they would secure It everywhere. In
| this event it would be comparatively
easy matter for them to formulate and
carry through policies of their own. Thus
from the cradle to the university the
| education of the children is potentially
in the hands Of the women Of this coun-
try,
| unlimited power over future generations
is thus intrusted to our hands. Are we
| exercising that power with an adequate
| sense of the responsibility which it places
upon our shoulders? There are now
| thousands and hundreds of thousands OF
our sex who are pining for something to
do which they can feel is entirely and
! splendidly worth their while How for
tunate it is that here. already at hand
| is task which nature and man, the
tyrant," are agreed, Is peculiarly adapted
to our particular tastes and talents. Blu,
/ what are we doing about it? Little as
sex, l fear, that is either significant OF
| creditable When not merely in a few
| isolated cases, but as class, the women
of America decide what they want in the
way of education for their children, ii
they want it badly enough, there is nc
| earthly power which can stand between
| them and their splendid ideal goal.
| AS practical suggestion may I say
| that l would be glad to see the scope OF
our committee on patriotic education en-.
larged as to embrace the whole sub
ject of the education Of the young In
this way our entire national society made
a realm of education in its true sense.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, ss they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustsohian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have q rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the infiamms-
tion can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, near
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases ont of ten are caused by Cstsrrh,
which is nothing but an infsmed con.
dition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (csused by
