own a club house valued at from $1,000
to $50, 900.
A member of the league from the
east came to the Los Angeles cha pter
house last week and timidly asked If
| she might go through 1t. When she
realized that the door was wide open
to every member of the league, wheth-
| er they had worked for it or not, she
exclaimed with eyes full of tears:
1T couldn't do anything but pray, oh
Lord, let the Los Angeles chapter win
| the bungalow"
