DAUGHTER ADMIRAL SEMMES
SEEKS TO HEAD u. D. C.

Mrs. Charles B. Bryan of Memphis,
has announced her candidacy for pres
ident-general of the U. D. G. at the
national convention to be held here
in November.
Mrs. Ryan is a valued member of
the Harvey Mathis Chapter, U. D.
c., and at its last meeting the move
ment to have Mrs. Bryan elected to
this high office was launched, says
The Knoxville Journal and Tribune.
For years Mrs. Bryan, who is wide
ly known and popular throughout the
state, has been urged to allow her
name to come up for this Office, but
hitherto she wasaso deeply interested
in and tied up in the work of some
other organizations that she felt she
could not give the necessary time.
New she is situated differently and
can devote all her time to the duties
of the office if elected.
Mrs Bryan is said to be sDlendidly
equipped for the place, brilliant, en-
crgetic and full of patriotic zeal, and
patriotic leader of marked ability
Mrs. Bryan is the daughter of Ad
miral Raphael Semmes, commander
of the Alabama.

nothing to do with clothes; but we
who meet folk casually must judge,
very often, by appearance. A girl with

although her character may be beau
tiful. A man with weeks mud on his

quite logical to figure out that a man
