It Surely has been proven true this year, that dif ficulties breed determination in the breasts of descendants of revolutlon- th® °rga?n Ization of our chapter has it been =*o hard to prove to the "Powers That be" in Washington, that an applicant is really eligible. Papers have been sent back more than once with the word "Incomplete" written upon them, but with each return, the applicant starts in again with renewed zeal and energy to hunt up more data. By much hard labor on the part of the applicants, ten new names have been added to our roll. Mrs. Victorine Evans Cook of Sa lem, Mrs. Myrta Rehmeir, Mrs. Alma Hawkes, Mrs. Harriet Townsend, Mrs. Florence Armentrout, Mrs. Nann.e Roberts, Miss Isabel Ferris, Miss Wini fred Jones, Miss Edna Jones, Miss Katherine Sage.

Mrs. Canby, the historian, reported as follows: There has been' little correspond ence to attend to in the last year, only one letter in fact, in answer to an inquiry from the state historian, as to how many "real grand-daughters" are among our chapter members. At the time our registrar thought there weye only two, Mrs. Cowley and Mrs. Caa by since then we have learned that Mrs. Eliza Jahnett Carter, and Mrs. Jean Summerll'n Hughes are also en titled to the distinction. The state historian has been notified of the fact that we have four real grand-daugh ters in our chapter. The library of the D. A.

The last two volumes, thirty-nine and forty. have been ordered, ont not yei received. I wonder if all the members of the chapter realize their value? The na tional society publishes two volumes each year. Each volume contains the revolutionary records of the ancestors !of 1,000 daughters. So the forty vol lumes we have down there in our li brary have the records of forty thous and members, and many of them have as high as six.
