Hears Lecture on National Defense By N. H. L. The Skokie Valley chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution met at the home of Mrs. Otto Ruth, Woodstock Avenue, Kenilworth, on Monday of this week. So many mem- bers of the chapter are away or ill that it was necessary for the registrar, Mrs. Mark Cresap, to preside, and owing to the terrific storm which swept through this section, many were unable to attend the meeting. It is to be regretted that so many were un- able to be present to hear the speaker of the day, Mrs. G. H. Goodhue, vice- chairman of the department of na- tional defense for the D. A. R. of Illi- nois, and it is quite possible that she will be asked to repeat her talk either this year or sometime during the next season's program. She has an inex- haustible fund of information on her subject and could only touch upon part of it during her hour Monday. Mrs. Goodhue brought a very start- ling account of the workings of the communists in this country and whether one is in perfect accord with her views or not, the statistics which she produced are worthy of serious and sober thought and should be con- sidered by all Americans. She made clear the fact that the army of the United States has its activities and ac- complishments in many constructive ways and is not uséful in just a mili- tary sense. This brief article or ac- count cannot go into any detail of her talk but it was very lucid, sane, and interesting! Mrs. Goodhue has a most pleasing manner, is perfectly informed on her subject, is thoroughly interested and aroused over it, and it is to be hoped that she will come again.
