D. A. R. DOING ITS
 SHARE OF WAR WORK
Esther Stanley Chapter Gives up Social Event to Do Patriotic Work;
 Plans for Season.

At a recent meeting of the board of the Esther Stanley chapter, D. A, R., it was decided to omit the Guest Night planned in the autumn and devote all energies to war relief work. Each member of this organization is taking an active part in assisting in all branches of war work suggested by the National society. The sum of $500 was subscribed to the first Liberty Loan by the chapter, and also over sS5 has been already invested in Liberty Bonds by individual members.
 The National society, D. A. R., has decided to purchase a $100, 900 bond of the coming issue securing this sum by a. payment of s1 per member, and $145 will be given by the Esther Stan ley chapter When the call came in the summer to help the French war orphans, over $400 was speedily rais- ed to care for some of these destitute
 children. The local chapter is thus caring for nine children for one year and one child for two years. During the summer members of chapter knit
 five sweaters, seven mufflerS, three
 helmets, three wristlets, thre pairs of socks and two pairs of mittens, all of
 which were sent to the men on the
 battleship Connecticut.
 In SeptemDer a request came rom
 the state regent asking for Is sets of
 knitted garments for the men at the aviation camp at Mineola, Long Island. Twenty sets of six pieces each have been forwarded, and members of the chapter are now knitting on A additional articles to be sent next week. All this work takes time, but the knowledge that some men are made more comfortable, and the ap- preciative letters of thanks received, more than repay those who knit and those who have provided the wool. Every member of the Esther Stan lev chapter is also g, member. of the 1 Red Cross society, giving time and 1 money to carry on the work of that 1 organization.
 l Much thought is given by indt- l vidual members to the conservation 1 of food--using more corn meal and ] rye flour in place of wheat and saving
 sugar and fats to be sent to the sol l diers abroad.
 l The latest work being undertaken ! by the National society. n. A. R., is | the reconstruction of the French will l lage of Tilloloy. This little town, far behind the present firing line," is to l be rescued for it's former inhabitants
