.D.A. R. LIFE HONOR
VOTED MRS. BRYAN
TenneSSeean Who Stepped
Aside in 1880 Elected to
Honorary Post.

GraciouSly stepping aside to break
famous deadlock for the coveted
post OF honorary vice president gen
eral OF the d. A. r. in 1880, a dead
lock which led to revision Of the con-
stitution Of the D. A. R., Mrs. Charles
B. Bryan, OF Memphis, Tenn, has
been accorded her reward, by election
to that honor for life.
She was elected to this honorary
position yesterday afternoon by vote
OF the national board of management
meeting in Memorial Continental
Hall. The selection is subject to ap-
proval by the Forty-third Continental
Congress, but selection by the board
has always been tantamount to cleo
ton since the famous deadlock Of
1881. Among the five candidates for
the honor were Mrs. Howard L. Hodg-
klnS OF Washington, who was under
stood TO have run a strong race in the
| early balloting. Three votes were
said to have been necessary to a selec-
ton. Details Of the vote were not
! dlVulged, but the early results were
interpreted as a tribute to Mrs.
| HodgkinS.
History Made in 1880.
In the earlier days, the post of
honorary vice president general was
| fllled by ballot Of the entire CONT
! mental Congress. In 1890 the struggle
between two leading candidates be-
came so close that many ballots were
| taken. These candidates were Mrs.
-, Eliza Ferry Leary of Seattle, WASH
lngton. and Mrs. Bryan. Finally,
Mrs. Bryan withdrew in favor of her
opponent. Mrs. Leary is reported to
nave been here for yesterdays session.
Mrs. Bryan never actively entered
the competition for honorary vice
president again. She did not enter
the lists this year, and the candidates
| numbered only five early Yesterday
prior to the balloting. Mrs. Bryan is
at her home in Memphis. She did
not come to the congress.
But the delegation from Tennessee
has been proud of her record and her
gallant act was not forgotten by other
delegates. When the contest neared,
| Massachusetts came forward and put
up the name Of Mrs. Bryan, the daugh-
ter OF Admiral Raphael Semmes, Of
the Confederate Navy. Her name was
proposed by Miss Nancy Hudson Har-
ris, State regent of Massachusetts.
Other States fell into line, with Ten
nesSee working anxiously for its ia
vorite daughter.
Other Candidates.
Among the factors believed to have
initiated against the chances of Mrs.
HodgkinS for the post was the pres
ence on the list of honorary vice
presidents general already of another
! WaShingtOnian, Mrs. Eleanor S. WASH
ington Howard, Of 800 Connecticut
avenue
The other candidates included Mrs.
Charles B. Letton Of Nebraska, Mrs.
Edward P. Moody of Delaware, Mrs.
| Everest George Sewell of Florida and
Mrs. w. E. Stanley OF Kansas.
The campaign for Mrs. Hodgkins
was actively pushed by several chap
ters OF this city, led by Mrs. Hodg-
kinS' own chapter organization, Our
Flag Chapter, of which her mother,
Mrs. A. G. Wilkinson, was founder
and of which Mrs. Grattan Kerans is
regent.
The constitution of the D. A. r.
was changed SO that selection of the
honorary vice president general should
take place first by vote of the nation
al Board of Management and later by
approval OF the congress.

two losing tricks are the spades, in
case both king and queen are in the
East hand. That is the worst break
that he can expect, so he provides
for that break by playing the hand
in the following manner:
One round of clubs is taken and
then small diamond is led to
dummys green. A diamond is re-
turned and won with the king The
nine of diamonds then is tru1nped
with the jack of clubs.
A small club is returned, declarer
winning with the queen. This picks
up the outstanding trump.
South then caShes the ace of
diamonds and now has stripped his
own hand and dummy's of every
thing but trump and spades. His
play, then, is the jack of spades.
He takes the finesse and East wins
with the queen, but East is helpless.
If he returns heart, declarer will
discard the losing spade from his
hand and trump in dummy with
the ten of clubs, while if a spade is
returned, it is right into dunmy's
