Tho Society of Children Of the Am

Mrs. Daniel Lothrop. one, Of the earl
lest members of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, who Ia perhaps
better known as Margaret Sidney"
author Of the famous Five Little
Peppers" Inspired In her environ
ment by the traditions of Concord
and Bunker Hill, she conceived the
idea Of organising a society for girls
under eighteen and boys under. TWEEN
ty-one years Of age, who are lneal-
ly descended from q man or woman
who with unfailing loyalty render
ed material aid TO the cause of AM
.erican Independence"
Already the society has q member

Each year the Children of the
American Revolution convene In
Memorial Continental Hall. and
make an annual pilgrimage to- bit.

There are eight Societies Of Chill
dren of the American Revolution In
Washington with a total member
ship of about 100. Cine society has
made postcard albums for the Chill

clothing to a mountain school In
North Carolina. Another ID doing

Distributing Flags.
The Governor Thomas welles So
ciety, having a. membership of go,
has presented large flags to thras
public Fairgrounds and to four In
situations for children in the city.
Silk flags were also given to seven
legions Of foreign children. Boxes OF
books especially desired by two
purchased from money earned BY
the children At Christmas the
members always provide literally
for one Of our worthy institutions
for children. Last year 800 proba-
TONERS of the Juvenile Court were
presented with pictures of General
Washington, and D. A. R. worker
at the court has been provided with
small sized flags TO give to each
one in her charge.
Inculcating Chivalry.
A boy who Is taught lessons OF
self-control In play and sacrifice for
the sake Of children less fortunate Is
intoxicating the spirit Of chivalry
tempered with mercy which was dis

is setting the right example for her
companions. One of the special OBJ

the minds of these ,-oung members
the spirit of loving deeds done es-

particular thing to note about the

forest, because leaves are apparently
the tavorite design. The perforated
surface is not confined to the tip of
the shoe, as formerly. but trails over
the vamplike vines. All kinds of queer

Of Illinois in 1913 was Sl3l ,s25,22l Of
which the coal mines contributed $IO,-
3l3 sos, or So per cent? the petroleum
wells S3O.9Tl $40, or % per cent and
the brickyards tile works, and potteries
Sl5l9j,S7I. or IL per cent, In 1912 the
value Of the total mineral production
was Sl23.06s. s67, including S70,294.31s
for coal, S24.332605 for petroleum, and
Sl5,210,0go for clay products. The total
increase Of Ss,756,354 in 1918 over 1912
was therefore principally in oil produe-
tinn.
These figures do not take into account
the manufacture Of pig iron nor the
manufacture OF. coke the raw materials
for which are imported from the Lake
Superior region and West Virginia, re-
spectiyely. In The manufacture OF pig
iron Illinois stands second only to Penn
sylvania and Ohio. If the value of these
products in 1913 were added, the total
value Of the mineral products of the
state would be increased by nearly 500
600, 900.
Another important mineral industry
Of Illinois is the manufacture Of Port.
land cement. this product in 1918 hav-
ing the value of S4,7s4.696, an increase
Of SI.34o,6ll over the previous year.
The quantity OF natural gas produced
in Illinois when compared with the out
put OF the other fuels is insignificant;
nevertheless in 1913 the value of this
fuel was S574.0l5. Coal, petroleum. and
natural pas had combined value in 1918
of Sl0l $50 $50, an increase of more than
s65O0000 over 1912.
The value Of the stone produced in
Illinois increased from S3.s4l .504 in 1912
to s4.14o,953 in 1913. The production
Of sand and gravel increased from 1851
GOl short tons. valued at Sl929,s22. in
1912 to 1902 lao tons, valued at 5000
49l in 1918,
Illinois ranks nrst in the production
OF fuorspar, mined at Rosielare, in the
southern part Of the state, and in the
production Of tripoli, a residual Slice
