A few months later the Depart mt of the

has been stated, Mrs. Henry A. Caste was
elected department president. The auXilia-

tion and prospects for stron District or

troversy over the constituting and admins
tering of rules and regulations arose. and
Mrs Isabel Worrell Ball, as acting District
president, took action to remedy what she
believed to be serious infractions of the
laws of the organization. The national adj
minstration sided with the aggrieved par
ties, and revoked the charter of the De-
partment of the District of Columbia, and
further troubles arose. Finally, after much
discussion and airing of the matter before
national conventions the national body at
st. Louis restored the charter of the De-
partment of the District of Columbia, but
it had meantime lost two of its best aux
iliaries, and they have never been reor-
ganiZed.
