Miss McDuffee is being mentioned
as q logical candidate to succeed
Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook as
president general IN 1926.
Among others who are Delne
prominently mentioned are two
women OF the District Of Column.
Dia: MRS. g. Wallace Hanger, who
was defeated by a narrow margin
in her campaign against Mrs. COOK
at the last election, and Mrs. Lar2
Anderson, the present librarian gen.
eral, who is now in Europe.
Mrs, Charles White Nash. State
regent of New York and national
chairman Of the magazine com
rnittee, is mentioned as another
probable candidate.
Many feel that some of the
States that have been less gencr-
.ously represented on the national
board Of management should have
an inning. particularly as the
District of Columbia has had about
40 national officers in the thirty
five years of the society's exist

upon itself the task of raising by
sales of various kinds the money neg
essary for purchasing the bronze tab

Endorsements of all kinds, from in

oring the Idaho hero dead as they
served-as one The following COM
munication to Director Davis, from
James A. Drain, recently elected ma
tional Legion commander, is typical:
my own view has always been that
the most fortunate death man can
have is that which comes to him as
soldier of his country, fighting for
what he believes right. And this ap-
plies to every individual, woman or
man, whether the death came in ac-
tual combat or in camp, in this coun-
try or overseas.
1--WE do not need tosraise a memoir
ial to our dead that we may remem-
Der them. We cany their memory
in our hearts and can never forget
them. A memorial rather expresses
for me our pride in our heroic dead
an announcement to the world in I'M
mistakable terms of our joy in their
glory and our happiness in their high
estate.

Idaho War Memorial

Exhaustive research into Idaho S
war records and endless communica-
ton with those in closest toucl with
the Idaho boys who enlisted in the
World War has revealed that all told
Idaho lost 761 in the World War.
This list of names, together with the
names of the "a Idaho men who gave
their lives in the war with Spain, will
be cast in bronze and enshrined in the
"hall of memories" in the Idaho War
Memorial, building to be erected on
the campus of the University of Idaho
from funds collected in a statewide
campaign opening Armistice Day.
The movement is being directed by
the Idaho Memorial association, an
organization sponsored by the Legion
or Idaho, the university alumni, stu
dent body, and representative citizens.
Enlisted in the various branches of
service in the World War were 20,9S6
men from Idaho, according to the fig
ures collected by Paul Davis, former
state Legion commander and now
managing director of the association.
The casualty list represents slightly
in excess OF 81 per cent of this total
number. The per cent for the entire
nation is placed at about two. In the
Civil War and for the European arm
les fighting in the World War the
casualty list approximated 20 to Is
per cent of the number enlisting.
All Organizations have been very
helpful in making possible this cor
rected list of Idaho service men, but
of premier value was the activities of

tons throughout the state. The War

"Gofhic Arr

The term Gothic was originally ap-
piled by the Italians to the pointed
architecture which preceded the Re.
Nuisance, because the Italian artists
regarded the new style as worthy only
of the barbaric Goths. The erroneous
idea that-the style was Germanic be
came prevalent and the term Gothic
was generally adopted.
