 Among the scholarships published for lsl4-15, is the, Sallie Jones Memorial scholarship. That no misunderstanding of the financial status of this scholarship may arise as result of it's being adver- used as open for applicants, l submit the following statement: Total contribu- tons for Sallie Jones scholarship for the past three years amount to $S35. Of this amount $753 has been bearing per cent interest since January. At that time We had only $575 oh hand for this fund, bur your president borrowed SITS that she might take advantage of a very desirable loan. This loan has been repaid ano in addition we now have $32 uninvested Tn- terest on the fund will amount to s6O 40 Which will be applied to beneficiary's ex- penses for 1914-15, and ths Difference will be contributed by a few chapters who are especially interested in having this scholarship placed for 1914-15 We make thls explanation, that no complica tion may arise because of any misunderstand- ing of it's financial status. Otherwise. the fact that it has been published as In nrl r,tc
 clusion that it has been completed and that it will not be necessary to meet the pledges made at Tusca ,oosa. The scholar snip committee expects you to meet these pledges, and you will not disappoint them know Those who failed to redeem pledges, amounting to $134, made at Cam den, have been notified. but no additional payments have been made. Moreover these pledges have been considera blv re- ouced by chapters notifying committee that pledges accredited to them in Cam den minutes were not made by them or their representative, and ,nat they could not, in view of other obligations. pay the amount accredited to them. Hence it is most necessary that pledges made at Camden and Tuscaloosa be paid
 in full.
 All chapters are reminded, too. of their obligation of $l for maintenance of Ala bama room in Confederate Memorial museum, ltlchnond. Chapter presidents are requested to solicit life memberships $l0 each, in this Memorial association The income from life memberships will be- credited to an endowment fund for the perpetual maintenance of Alabama's room. Will you not appoint a committee from your chapter to solicit these mem berships?
 Enclosed is an honor roll blank. to | which l especially wish to direct your attention Mrs. James Dunlap. chair | man of the memorial committee c. M. | l.. s. Yonkers. N. Y.. has prepared 175 volumes of soldiers names, and among that number Alabamas soldiers have no | place, a great oversight on our part. Let me urge that you begin getting up these records without delay, that we may, in a measure, atone for our lack of interest in this important matter in the past. Il would suggest that chapter historians adopt this as a part of their definite | work for 1914-15. With the cooperation | of veterans chapter presidents and re- l corders, who have kept a record of the services of all upon whom chapters have bestowed crosses of honor Alabama's S | soldiers will have equal recognition on the roll of honor with soldiers of other states.
 Mrs. Charles Sharp, historian Alabama division, United Daughters of the Con- | federacy. urges each chapter to make a | scrap book for the preservation of south | ern history, and offers as an incentive a | United Daughters of the Confederacy pin for the most attractive book compiled between May. 1914, and corresponding date in 1915. This pin will be awarded on
