The speaker of the day wa· 3 Professor Ludwig Mueller, exchange-professor at Northwestern universitv. Professor Mueller gave a very logical DA _ N NEM.ARK ELECTRIC CO. and friendly talk on "Pre'.sident Hin.denburg" which was most thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated by the ~em-1 hers present. It seemed a movement forward to step aside from the conventional and usual program of the D. A. R. and to listen to the inside informat,ion of this new German republic. We have "stretched · our hands across the seas" as it were and it i~s good to know what is going on and being achieved "over there." The meeting occurring as it did 1 30 near the time of Washington"s birthday, Professor Mueller quoted from Mr. Sherman, the American ambassador to Germany, saying that he had compared Hindenberg to Washington in that he would go down in German history as Wa'shington had in ours "First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his country men." The next meeting will occur the fourth Monday in March. A~rangements are being made to or- Legion ·Auxiliary Mrs. Thomas L.

When the Legion took the cast of "Lombardi, Ltd." to Great Lakes to furnish a laugh-a-minute to the patientf5, several Auxiliary members carried up some thirty lbs. of delicious candy which they passed around between acts. They believe they were rewarded with a far better average than a smile-a-minute. Mrs. Stanley Peterson, "vho with her committee plan'3 and directs the child welfare work of the auxiliary, attended the Child Welfare Congreg,s which Area D held Monday and Tuesday at the Congress hotel. The program as outlined this year s.tresse.d the impo.rtance of caring for the underprivileged child regardless of whether or not he is the orphan of a World war veteran.
