Wilson and Bryan Speak
at the D. A. R. Congress;
Farewell of Mrs, Scott

Scenes of intense, enthusiastic patriot
ism, mingled with regret and sadness,
marked the public opening of the D. A. r.
congress yesterday afternoon. The en-
thusiaSm was caused by the addresses Of
President Wilson, Secretary of State
Bryan. Ambassador Jusserand Of France
and other men. and the sadness followed
the valedictory of Mrs. Matthew T. Scott.
the retiring president general. who has
been at the helm of the Daughters great
organization for four years.
The picture presented when President
Wilson walked upon the platform was q
stirring one. moment before Mrs.
Scott, preceded by q long line of pretty
pages dressed entirely in white. had
marched down the center aisle. On the
platform were gathered all the national
oficers OF the d. A. r., magnifcently
gowned. In the boxes at either side were
Mrs. Wilson. Nine Jusserand and many
prominent women.
National Anthem Is Sung.
As the President entered the Marine
band began 1.-The Star Spangled Banner"
and up from the balcony was drawn a
huge American flag. which was pulled to
a position where 1t floated directly over
the heads Of the delegates. All Of the
great audience took up the refrain Of the
handkerchiefs and programs at the Presi-
dent, Secretary Bryan and Mrs. Scott.
Both the President and Secretary Bryan
declared that 1t Is the duty OF the Daugh-
ters TO apply the principles Of their revo-
1utionary ancestors to modern problems.
BY so doing they can accomplish great
good. both said.
President Wilson said he did not know
that II was necessary to welcome the
members of the Daughters Of the Revo-
luton to Washington, which in effect al
ready was their own city. He commend
ed the society for the splendid work 1t
was doing in commemorating the attain
ment of American liberty.
Il regard organizations like this" he
said 'as part of the nations love of
memory. They remind us of the things
that have gone by and of the standards
to which We must conform If We would
be true and loyal Americans.
II would not undertake, at any rate in
a single improvised address, to set up the
canons of Ansericanism. Americanism Is
fvomen that / am not so sure of my
Etandards on that side of the homes: and,
therefore, l tread very gingerly when

But this | know; that so far as oar
recolections are concerned so far as
those things are concerned which We
hold sacred in the past. SO far as those
things go that we intend to live up to
and be worthy of, there is only one canon
of Americanism.

They Are often Due to Thoughtless
Childish Grimaees.
The wrinkles on many middle aged
faces could he traced To establish grim
aces. Every one hears much of smil-

their popularity To the fact that they
do not produce wrinkles. The smile
which creases the face into dozens OF
hue lines does produce wrinkles. Grim
aces are In the same class with this
face lining smile. They should be dis
cOuraged.
Many children. too, perform little
tricks with various parts Of the body
which result in awkward or ungrace-
full habits which are later hard To over
come. For instance, the double juinted
child who can bend his thumbs and
fingers in all directions often does So,
to the admiring wonder of his play
mates, until his knuckles are enlarged
and misshapen.
The small boy that can swing from
his arms is sometimes cheered, even
by his elders. into diSlocating shout
