vention the Worlds Fair Exhibit. in General
Orders. No. l, as follows:
The following recommen daiion by Department

DEPARTMENT OF CONNECTICUT.
Among the decisions Of Department Convention
of Connecticut W.RC,. of interest 10 the Order at
large, are the following:
That all Corps contribute so cents quarterly for
the support of the National Relief Corps Home.
That resolution be forwarded from this De-
parment to the 18th National Convention; that
Departments be allowed to legislate TO what
shall be printed in the Department journals feel
ing that the decision of the 10th National Conven-
ton, promulgated in National General Orders. No.
3, section H. takes away privilege that belongs
especially to Departments to decide.
That committee of five be selected to consider
the feasibility OF Cottage Homes for veterans aud
their wives to act with committee from Depart
ment of Connecticut GAR. This consnittee has
been appointed, Harriet J. Dodge. Chairman.
The following is a we-timed resolution, and if
applied to both Department and National Conven-
lions, would do much toward doing away with
hasly and conflicting legislation:
That hereafter each Department officer be re-
quesed TO present her recomme ndations to De-
parmcnt Convention i'll the form of resolutions,
said resolutions ." be sent to the Department
Headquarters at least 10 days before Convention,
