"AS Long As There Is q Veteran Left Am Tn Fdvor of Continuing the Reunions' Says Mrs
 Odenhein1er, President General of the U. D. C..
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

] kE A long as there is veteran left "A am in favor of continuing the
 4 N reunions" said Mrs, Cordelia
 Powell Odenheimer of Washington, presi-
 dent=general of the United Daughters of
 the Confederacy, yesterday.
 1 Surrounded by admirers each anxious for word with the woman who so val iantly heads the great body of women
 who love and honor the lost cause,' Mrs. Odenheimer since her arrival here for the
 Confederate reunion has been one of the
 most charming and striking figures.
 None is better qualified than she to es-
 pouse the cause; for it is bred in the bone
 with her, coming as she does from a line age of brave and noble sires, who fought and died for their beloved southland. Mrs. Odenheimer's father was the late Capt Edward Burr Powell of Virginia.
 He was one of the first to enlist in the Confederate army and equipped. and con- manded the first troop of cavalry going out of Fairfax county, Virginia. She is the niece of Col. Llewellyn Powell (for- merly commander U. & NJ, who died at Fort Morgan from wounds. Colonel Pow ell was in command of the gulf forces and temporary command of the army of Mo-
 bile. Many years ago some of the sur- Ylvors of the Alabama battalion of Con- federate artillery placed beautiful mar ble tablet over his grave in the cemetary at Mobile, where he was buried. Mrs. Odenheimer is also niece of the late Dr. Robert Conrad Powell who was a sur geon in the Confederate navy and miracu- lously escaped death when blown up by torpedo in Mobile bay.
 Mrs. Odenheimer's home has been in Maryland for the last 16 years and in 1900 she became president of the United Daughters of the Confectionery chapter at Jessup, Md, and the same year became second vice president of the Maryland di- vision, United Daughters of the Confed- eracy. In 1906 she was elected President of the Maryland division and in. 1911 was 1916 was elected president-general of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. After serving two years she again became president of the Maryland division, and in 1916 was elected president general of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Owing to the absence of the president general, Mrs. Odenheimer presided over the Washington convention and the laying of the Arlington corner stone in 1912 She is director for Shiloh and Arlington mon- uments, on the executive cooperation committee of the women's section of na- tional preparedness. Members of the na- tional committee of the womans section, Navy league; member of the Mount Yer non chapter, Alexandria, Va, Daughters of the American Revolution.
 TO me there is no more beautiful sight in all the world' Mrs. Odenheimer said as she discussed the different phases of the reunion here and it's many pleasant aspects than to see the oelles of the sixties many of whom have been present in Birmingham, and

 What activities especiane are the daughters engaged in just now?" l asked.
 We are, of course, carrying on the work of caring for the veterans and their families and the widows of the Confederate Veterans; also in paying for the monuments that have been erected in memory of the cause" Mrs. Oden- heimer said. "The Shiloh monument and the Arlington monument stand for what we have done; of course, we have not at tempted to assist with the Stone Noun tain movement; an undertaking of 3D. 0O0,000 is little more than we could assume; we need all we can get for the maintenance of our veterans

SEA SCOUTS To
Be RE0RGANIzED

That the sea scouts, the crack scout
company which was the second ma
rine scout troop to be organized in
this country, and the first and only
one south of Norfolk, Va, may be re-
organized, and that their familiar
white uniforms may soon be seen on
Pensacola streets is a statement
which has created great interest
among the youths of the city.
Local scout officers are in favor
of reorganization, and II the troop is
again organized it will be on the fol
lowing basis:
Boys between the ages of IS and 20,
Of good moral character, will be e-igi
bic. The only expense will be 25 cents
yearly dues to rational scout head
quarters and $3.50 to cover cost of
uniform, which consists of the fol-
lowing: Regulation U. S. navy white
working jumper and trousers, white
drill hat, black handkerchief, and
canvas lace leggins. The organiza-
ton will be under military discipline,
and the course Of instruction will in
clude shore, signal and flashIight
drills ard thorough course in wire
and wireless telegraphy and field teIe-
phony. Drills and instructions will
be held one night per week.
Everyone knows that the sea scouts
are the marine division of the boy
scouts of America, and that the or
ganization is not military in aim or
character. The instructions received
in scouting, however, are invaluable to
the boy who receives them if he is
called upon at some future time q
serve his country.
If the troop is organized it will
not exceed twenty scouts in number
Anyone interested in scouting along
this line may communicate with Her
bert F. Matthews, assistant scout
master, Troop 1, B. S. A, who will be
in charge of the reorganization.

OYSTERS NOT HURT
by WILSON FRESHET
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Apalachicola, Fla, Aug. 7.-State
Shell Fish Commissioner T. r. Hodges
came to Apalachicola this week to
make thorough survey of the oyster
reefs in Franklin county in order to
determine whether or not the heavy
freshet which has flooded the bays of
this county for the past three weeks
with fresh water, had damaged the
oyster crop to any extent.
Commissioner Hodges was accom-
panied by several of the best oyster
men and dealers here, and thorough
investigation of all bars or reefs was
made on board the state patrol boat.
The investigation developed the fact
that the overdose of fresh water had
killed some of the oysters, but the
damage was very light and the oys-
tiers are in fine condition.
This will be good news to the many
thousands of people of Florida, Geor-
gia and Alabama, who rely on Apa-
lachicola to furnish them with this
delightful food product.
The freshet, which has about sub
sided, is the heaviest one since Abra-
ham Lincoln was president, which
was known as the Lincoln freshet.
Each overflow of the river or freshet
is named for the president of the
United States. in office at the time.
This will be known as the Wilson
freshet.
