 she passed the 72d milestone in a long and useful life spent entirely in this inn
 mediate vicinity.
 A beautiful birthday cake adorned the gift-laden table, and as the honoree blew
 out the 72 candles representing the years Of her life each guest joined in wishing

 Do we know why we are Americans. ex- cept for the reason that we happened to have been born in this country?
 If we do not realize what our Amer icanism" consists of and what<are some at least of the ideals of American gov- ernment, it would be well for us, the women of this country, to inform our selves, for our own good and for the in- formation which we might pass along to other women.
 From her position, realizing the need of such knowledge on the part of Amer ican women. at this reconstruction period. Mrs. George L. Guernsey, president gen. eral of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, has issued the following letter:
 Dear Regent: In America the first aim should always be to let the people know The developments of the last few months have served to emphasize the need of popular knowledge concerning American lu0atS OL governments NlLn tllS OpleCb in view the eight national patriotic asso- citations have united in an effort to bring about nationwide campaign for a bet ter popular understanding of the con stitution.
 We have selected the birthday of the constitution, September r, as a day to be especially dedicated to that work. We wish meetings for a study of the con- stitution organized in every city, town and village. This is a work which can only be done by those familiar with local conditions. The importance will be doubted by few Americans who believe in our institutions. Secretary Morrison of the American Federation of Labor, in recent letter regarding immigration and our alien population, writes:
 What can Americanism mean to these people? They do not even understand our language. They know nothing of our theory of government. We must vitalive our declarations and our beliefs that injustice has no place on American soil" The need is not confined to our alien-bor population. Many of our native born Americans do not under

 Our aim is to unite into one na- tional campaign of education upon the essential principles of our government all who know their meaning and are willing to aid in interpreting them. You under stand how to influence the people of your community. We urge therefore, that your power be used to the fullest possible extent in the organization of meetings for constitution day and of classes for the study of our constitution. We will try to furnish speakers if you so desire, or will furnish literature which will be of value to your speakers. Please write us that you will work. Let us know how many of our constitutional pamph- lets you can use to advantage. The mis- cellaneous distribution of literature is of little value but, if distributed with care, it can be made of great value to the cause, which is the cause of every Amer ican. We will furnish the pamphlets without charge. Our only object is the country's good. Very sincerely yours,
