constantly introduced novel eatures even
to the extentOf luyenting games to indace
The Young members to try their hand at

shown by the many new names that APP

Several OF the young men grew SO en-
LAusiastic that they nave earned places
on the Committees, but they do not
control it.. Experienced men were
required to prevent the enthu-
si.esis from indulging in experiments
which the practical men would realize
could only result in disastrous failures.
The new committeeman are consequently
beng trained by the older members to
enable them to ssum control when the
veterans have retired. Judge Clarke is
