PERSONALITIES OF THE D. A. R.
BY ALICE ROGERS HAGER.

A little apple-cheeked lady with white
hair and nose that sets one thinking
of Gilbert Stuart's famous portraits
has been visible In one Of the boxes at
the auditorium since the opening of the
congress. She Is regarded with kind
Of wonder by the children of Washing
ton, in particular by those who belong
to the c. A. r. Wonder Is the correct
word to describe their juvenile state of
mind regarding her. since to them she
Is q page of American history come
alive. Because. you see. Eleanor WASH
ington Howard was the last child born
in Mount Vernon. and one of the COM
paratively few living descendants OF
the family of the First Father. Each
year now Mrs. Howard takes the chill
dren of the G. A. r. out to the beauti-
full and revered mansion. and there tells
them the story of Washington. general
and President, and even back to the
more humble days Of the young sur
veyor who dared the unknown paths Of
the wilderness to carry out his duty as
he saw It, Mrs. Howard tells, too, how
her father came to part with the es-
tates when it was no longer possible
to entertain the distinguished guests
who came from many lands to visit as
at national shrine.
It is far cry from the peace Of
Mount Vernon to the coal mines Of
Pennsylvania, but another Daughter
bridges the gap. Miss Margaret Bar

responding secretary general on the
slate of Mrs. Hobart, Is practical BUSH

Before the war she was in charge Of a
large sanitariurn, and during the course
Of hostilities became the active organ
izer of two overseas units. AS an APP
pointee of the Treasury Department she
conducted extensive Liberty loan and
saving stamp work. Later, ct the time
Of the Sesquicentennial, Miss Barnett
served as q member of the Wonnen's
committee. In recent years she has car

MRS. Moss had long had the desire
to see q monument and not marker
erected In these IL States and so When
she was appointed the national chair
man for the National Old Trails road,
she presented her idea before the ma
tional board. The design for the monu-
ment representing a pioneer mother
clad In homespun, clasping her BABE
to her breast, q figure Of a mother
showing fortitude, perseverance ano
energy in her bearing, was suggested
to Mrs. Moss in the picture OF an IN
dian souaw carrying her papoose upon
her back, which was piece OF statuary
at the worlds fair IN st. Louis.
Collaborating with her son, James
Trigg Moss, IT,, a graduate OF princeton
University. and an artist and arcnltect
in the Graduate College there, MIS-.
Moss worked her idea into the design
for the monument which now MARKS
the Old Trails road.
Mrs. Moss has served as ofdcial read
er Of the Continental Congress LOT the
mast three years and possesses rich,
f1ll voice with a wonderful carrying
quality. which gives her special equip
ment for this position.
Once Served as Teacher for Deaf.
Before her marriage MRS. Moss taught
in the st. Louis Day School for the
Deaf and through her training in this
work developed a clear, crisp annunci-
alton. "A great part Of the secret OF
possessing a voice with the carrying
quality is to enunciate distinctly" Mrs.
Moss explained.
Mrs.. Moss possesses expert knowledge
of the mute sign language" and has
frequently been called upon in st. Louis.
No. which Is her home, to assist In in
terpreting for the deaf at gatherings or
in the city courts. :.
It was through the suggestion OF
Mrs. Moss that the program for "a
tree for every member" was instigated,
and through this endeavor Of the N. S.
D. A. r. over 100000 trees have been
planted throughout the United States.

triotic Council, Mrs. Nobel Newport
Potts, who is serving with the national
D. A. r. press committee, tells q story
of the forming of the LEnfant chapter
here in Washington 18 years ago. Mrs.
Potts was responsible for its organiZa-
ton at about the time that l. Enfant
was finally remembered and given the
recognition that had long been awaiting
him. Buried originally in an obscure
grave on the old Diggs farm, the illus
triouS major was disinterred In May,
1911. and after lying in state In the
Capitol was solemnly buried again at
Arlington, where he now rests. At the
time of the funeral Mrs. Potts searched
the entire city for French flag to use
with the American one on the casket.
Not one was to be found. So, assem-
bling the materials, she made nag
and 1t was afterward presented to the
chapter that bears the majors name
Curiously enough. Mrs. Potts maiden
name was Ross, but she is not de-
scendant of the Betsy who made the
other earlier flag for the anxious Colo
NAL general.
Five candidates named on the ticket
presented by Mrs. Lowell F. Hobart OF
Ohio are on the board Of the National
Patriotic Council. These are Mrs. Ho-
bart herself, Miss Anne Margaret Lang.
Mrs. Charles Humphrey Bissell. Mrs.
Harriet Vaughn Rigdon and Miss Mar
garet Barnett. Among the councils
vice presidents are Mrs. Larz Anderson,
former librarian general of the Daugh-
tiers; Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook. hon-
orary president general, and several
gentlemen with good D. A. r. associa-
tons. These latter include: Maj. Gen.
Amos Fries, whose wife has been chair
man Of the press committee for q num-
Der of years; ex-Secretary Of the Navy
Curtis D. Wilbur, Admiral William A.
Moffatt and Maj. Gen. Hanson z. Ely.

may be found exhibits that take the on

WHAT rs NEWS IN SCHOOL
Harold Nelson

Charles Dillon in his Journal
ism for High Schools" says, "The
literary or social organizations OF
the average high school; and the
changes in classes; courses to De
introduced or eliminated; school
board meetings.; athletics; now
books in the library of reading
room of the school; theatrical or
musical entertainments coming or
in preparation all provide sources
from which the student staff may
dray news"
Criticism might be made OF the
Broadcaster that perhaps the sub
iect matter seems to be limited.
This fact is only natural when one
considers that the average student
does not nor cannot read outside
criticisms to discuss weighty prob
lens such as World Peace or what
so-and-so thinks about this years
best seller. These may all be in
teresting enough for some people
yet I know Of none in my circle
who can discuss such things intel
ligently and "get by with it."
1t is a very difficult situation to
face when we see how much writ
ing it takes before something is
accomplished worth enough to
waste the ink and space on. There
are not many pieces of high school
news which are really interesting
to both students and adult. Conse-
quently if the adult is to enjoy this
section of 'tthe paper" he must
allow his imagination to make him
ga child again just for tonight"
1t is impossible for the sponsor
to tell each and every one what to
write and how to write it. If it
were possible then naturally it
would lack variety and anyone with
the least bit of originality about
him would hardly enjoy reading
the mechanical article which would
eventually result.
We therefore ask our readers to
be young for the moment and en-
joy with us, If they wish to, the
events of our student life.
