Washington.--An person who fears
thai the old American stock has de-
Perforated physically and mentally
should come TO Washington any year
in April and look on the descendants
of Revolutionary sires represented In
the, convention of the Daughters Of
the American Revolution. .......
Is it possible that the various
chapters of this organization select
their best looking women to represent
them at the convention In the Capital?
Probably not. The selection of dele
gates is based Ordinarily on knowledge
that certain members Of any chapter
have the time and the inclination TO
serve. The presumption, therefore, is
that the representation at the con
vention is one which strikes an
appearance average of the member
ship Of the chapters to which they are
acc"2dited. ~
The Daughters of the American
Revolution have been here in con-
venton assembled, and they have put
some men organizations to shame by
the stalwart way in which they moved
to the attack Of those forces which
are w0rEing to undermine the real
Americansm of today. The propa-
gandists Of red radicalism, of pro
GermaniSm, and pro half dozen
other things simply were mauled by
the women They went to the attack
as fearleSsly as the Americans went
TO thelattack in the Argonne. +.

that they will he the object of vene-
nous verbal assaults by yhe organiza-
tions which believe in some other
country before they believe in Amer
ica, and by other organizations whose
Wish Il, is to turn this country into
a Russia, Seemingly these American
women welcome the assault on their
motives
Mrs, Minor Leads the Attack.

things WHICH politicians in this town
have been afraid to say. Along them
was this!
st is time for sane, loyal Americans
TO awake and handle certain things
without gloves We are too prone
as a nation to 90 quietly about our
business, needless of danger until the
last minute. No doubt this agitation
will burn itself out, but it may burn
something more valuable before the
world comes back to its senses, for
there is nothing more inhammable
than human passions working in the
masses 70 ..r 1#
