efmpttcfty has resulted In unmeasured
relief 10 more than one OF the unpreten-

night.
For some time headquarters Of the
: Organization here have been besieged
by members who asked despairingiy:
Say, have we got to climb into n
of those dress suits for this dinnerT'
coupled In some instances with the dec
laration, well, I sure do want to see
the colonel. but I'm darned IL I can get
into one of those things"

cepted the invitation were quoted to
