To the u. D. 0.

Mrs. S. Elizabeth Gabbstt, Custodian, U. D. C., of 23S Capitol Avenue, Atlanta, has issued the following statement to presidents and officers of Chapters of the U. D. C:
 II beg to notify you that I must re- quest all orders to be in my office two weeks before the day appointed for the presentation of the crosses.
 '"rhe rush which has heretofore come upon the Custodian at the last moment renders 1t impossible for her to examine certificates, compare lists or indeed per form any part of her duties with proper care-as also very rarely are all the pa pers correct no time is given for corre- spondence, and no time for the officers of chapters to recufy mistakes--so the date of delivery Is lost, to the disappoint- ment of all parties.
 The Custodian requests that the Vet erans be urged to give in their certificates in time and she must object to filling dropping twos and three's after full order has been sent, as this entails con fusion, risk, loss of time and extra ex- pense.
 '"rhe Custodian reminds the Daughters that the State Memorial Day is near at hand and that the presentation of the crosses is confined to the general Memo rial Day of each State"
