they have their own improvised currency. Mrs. F"airbanks is
patroness of this movement, but there is a man at the head
of it. Four years she has been President-General of the
Daughters of the American Revolution, and she was largely
responsible for the establishment of the new memorial
hall which was recently dedicated in Washington. Her work
has been mainly the selecting and marking of historic spots.
THE FAIRBANKS FAMILY
The younger element in the Fairbanks family is quite
promising. There are four sons living, one of whom, Warren
C, recently married Miss Ethel Cassidy, of Pittsburg, and is
director of the Oliver Typewriter Works, in Chicago. The
other three boys are still studying. Frederick C. graduated
last year from Princeton, and since then engaged in a law
course at Columbia University, Washington. Richard is a
junior at Yale, and Robert a student at Phillips Andover
Academy.
The only daughter, Miss Adelaide, is the eldest of the
children. Only last September she became the bride of En-
sign John W. Timmons, U.S.N., who hails from Chillicothe,
O., and met Miss Fairbanks first at the Ohio Wesleyan.
The other member of the family circle of Senator
Fairbanks is his mother, now nearly seventy-five years old,
who spends the winter with her son's family in Washington
and the rest of the year with her daughter, Mrs. M. L.
Milligan, of Springfield, O. Mrs. Milligan is the Senator's
only sister, and the wife of former Mayor M. L. Milligan, of
Springfield, president of the Springfield Foundry Company
and other manufacturing plants.
The Senator has also three brothers, W. D. Fairbanks,
president of the First National Bank of Mansfield, 111.;
