striking fact about the origin of
the Society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, the largest
women's patriotic organization in the
world, and one not often stressed. is
that it came into existence in 1890,
largely through the inspiration of the
great wave of patriotic sentiment
which swept the country the year pre-
ceding. For in 1883 occurred the
centennial of the framing of the Con-
stitution of the United States of
America. Celebrations were held
throughout the country to commemo-
rate the ratification of our Constitu-
ton, when our government in its
present form came into existence. 1t
was a year remarkable for patriotic
thought and activity. And the history
of achievement of the Daughters Of
the American Revolution shows this
society to be one of the most notable
results of all the. patriotic influences
of the past.
1t is a hopeful coincidence that this,
the year of rebirth of the society, be-
cause it is about to enter larger
fields of effort, is, like the year of it's
conception, one of historical anniver-
in April, $50 years ago, that the War
of the Revolution began at Lexington
and Concord.
200 Now Enrolled.
From the small beginning of 4
chapters and $50 members six months
after it's inception, the society has at
tanned to a present membership Of
more than 1000 chapters and 145,0 900
enrolment. Occupying beautiful
Memorial Continental Hall, overlook
ing Presidents Park, in the National
Capital, the most imposing head
quarters ever built by a band of
women, the conduct of its business
has been likened in form to a Federal
Government with administration Of
fcers and corps of clerks.

the work of the Daughters may be

MACMILLAN PARTY
MAY Be ENLARGED
Scientists Considering Max
ing Trip to Arctic Region.
Two Ships May Go.

Enlargement of the Macmillan Arc
tic expedition under the auspices OF
the National Geographic Society to
include a number of scientists who
would be carried into the Far North
aboard the Bowdoin, the ship used
last year by Macmillan to penetrate
the polar regions, is being considered
by the Geographic Society and Mac
MILAN.
Reports from Eskimos and MacMil-
lan's personal knowledge of scientific
data are causing those interested In
the expedition also to consider the ad-
visibility of sending another ship to
accompany the fishing vessel which
will carry the Navy's airplane and
personnel.
Additional details of the naval avia-
tons section plans for the trip were
worked out yesterday at a conference
attended by Mr.. Macmillan, Lieut..
Comdr. Richard E. Byrd, in command
of the Navy section, and officials OF
the Geographic Society. 1t was de-
cided to leave Fiscasset, Me-, June 20,
or a week earlier than originally plan
ned, which should get the expedition
to Etah, Greenland, not later than
August 1. If necessary, it was decid-
ed to stay in the Arctic until the end
of October.
Rdtl0nS Tor 50 DAYS.
The Navy's planes will carry rations
sufficient to sustain the personnel for
80 days in the event one Of the planes
is lost These rations will consist of
compressed tea, concentrated pea soup,
beef, barley and oatS-two tablespoons
full of which are equivalent to a
hearty meal; small arms. the 'primus
stove" an Arctic heating apparatus;
a tent measuring Z by Z feet and a
rubber canoe which has to be inflated
for use.
Although the flying personnel will
take with them complete supply of
flying clothes, arrangements will be
made in the North to acquire some
Eskimo clothes for use in flights over
the Greenland ice cap and other cold
regions.
The airplanes will be flown to Wis

The strategy practiced by the Ma
tionalists assumes that there are suf-
ficient conservative bourgeois voters
with Republican leanings hidden
away in Germany to carry the cleo
ton for Won 1indenburg.
Though both groups are banking on
percentage of the unlabeled voters,
there is an impression in political
quarters that Won Hindenburg is like
ly to attract the. greatest number of
the 10000, 900 registered voters. who
abstained from the polls on March %,
when no candidate received the re-
quired number of ballots for election.
Count on Sentiment.
The assumption in these quarters is
that the three Republican parties
reached their. nominal maximum in
the previous voting, and that there is
a big body Of politically Indifferent
men and women who, out of senti-
mental motives and because of i'm
patience with German postwar poll
tics. will be moved to give Won Hin
denburg their complimentary votes.

ART BINDING Of
BOOKS 1000
YEARS Old
Apostles Themselves Are
Said to Have Illuminated
Their MissaIs

Many there are who buy books
because Of their artistic binding,
contents being regarded as of sec.
ondary Importance. Artistic book
binders long ago learned this.
The earliest records prove that
their art has been practiced for
nearly two thousand years. In past
ages, books were written on long
scrolls of parchment or papyrus,
and were rolled up and fastened
with d thong which was made Of
colored leather and often highly
ornamented.
These scrolls were usually at
tached to one. or, occasionally, two
rollers Of wood or ivory, or some
times of gold and the bosses at the
end Of the rollers were frequently
highly decorated. This may be call
ed the first step toward ornamental
art applied to the exterior OF books.
A learned Athenian, named Phil
latius, to whom his countryIuen
erected a statue, at length found
out means of binding books with
glue The sheets Of vellum or papy-
rus were gathered two or four to-
gether, sewn much in the same
way as at the present day: and
then as a matter Of preserving
these sheets. there came. as mat
ter OF course, a covering for the
book.
The probability is that the first
book covers were of wood plain
oaken boards. perhaps; then as
books in those days were all in
manuscript. carved oak bindings
were given to those which were
the most decorated within.
To cover the plain wooden board
with vc1luTn or leather would in
the course Of years be too apparent
Fan improvement to be neglected,
and specimens of such books are
found, the .reatI antiquity of which
there are undoubted proofs, exist at
the present day.
There S reason to believe that the
Romans carried the art of binding
to considerable perfection. some Of
the public offices had books IN which
their acts were written. The bird.
ing of ore q these in carved wood
is thus described: Seated in the
center OF each board is consul,
holding In one hand a baton, and
in the other, tIpra .sed, a purse. as
if in the act of throwing 1t TO some
victor in the games.

large overseas army, and yet main
tain it's necessary ocean-going trade,
is the British Empire. Therefore,
either of the campaigns we have in
view, and, in fact for that matter,
the slightly more probable but still
very unlikely, naval war between
Japan and America, would resolve
itself into a long-drawn-out attack
upon and defense of commerce"
Naval warfare having been revo-
lutionized, Commander
Kenworthy believes the brunt OF
this work would be carried on by
cruisers.
.sThe old warfare was two-dimen-
sional: that is, the warships moved
on the surface of the sea and
could proceed north or south,
east or west. They could not dive.
and they could not fly. Naval war
fare now is hree-dimensional. we
have to consider surface cruisers.
submarine cruisers and aerial
cruisers.
Surface Cruisers.
"The surface cruisers will range
from the battle cruiser which
really is a fast battleship which
has lost something in protection, to
the so-called light cruiser. a vessel
of 10000 tons. costing $15,O00,O00
to $4,000, 900, with speed of 30
TO 80 knots and armed with eight
or nine eight-inch guns of great
range and power"
The Zeppelin, for scouting pur-
poses, providing she can be guard
ed against aerial attack, would be
equal to half a dozen cruisers,
Kenworthy believes; but the sea
plane will be best for attacking pur-
poses within 400 miles of its base.
but the ideal vessel for both
attack upon and the defense of
commerce. he continued, is the
large ocean-going submarine, She
has a radius of action greater thar
the surface ship, and the power
of submersion before superior
forces, either in the air or on the
surface"

worthy's arguments in the House
of Commons for these modern
naval weapons usually have great
weight in deciding British naval
policy.

JAZZ GIRL NOW

Final Sanity Tests Within
Thirty Days

EIlingson, broken butterfly VINO
murdered her mother, today passed
from the limelight in which she
has been for the past three weeks
and became probationary patient
in the state hospital for the insane
here.
Whether she will remain here or
not depends upon the decision ar
rived at by members Of the hosplta1
after they have observed the girl
for thirty days. One month from
now Dorothy was expected to face
her sanity trial with medical ex-
perts as a jury. These experts,
members of the hospital staff, will
decide if, in their opinion, she IL
then sane.
If they find Dorothy sane, there
was a possibility that she would be
remanded to the custody OF Sheriff
Thomas Finn, of San Francisco,
and that the district attorneys Of
flee would proceed to try her for
murder.
Dorothy Slept soundly last night,
apparently completely worn out by
the strain she had undergone in
her trial.
She was brought to the hospital
here last night, arriving at Tab
o'clock. She partook OF hearty
meal after arriving and was as
signed to the probationary cottage,
retiring at o'clock.
Today Dorothy was to be examined
by Doctor J. N. Scanland. head Of
the institution. Once more she was
to be subjected to the hated tests
which alienists apply. The tests
today, however, were merely for the
purpose OF classifying her case.
She will remain in the probationary
cottage for thirty days, after which,
If she again is found insane, her
case will be definitely graded for
treatments and assigned more or
less permanently to the section of
the hospital in which she win re-
ceive treatment.
