MED by Miss Muriel Dodd. the British

fend her American title In the tourney

Miss Dodd IL hardly likely to return
even II Miss Raw nscrott does come back.

Miss Dodd will defend her title and

admitted that such changes AS popular
election of managers, greater publicity,
greater privileges to members and open
meetings could be acted upon without any
amendments, because the present methods
have grown up through custom and are
not prescribed in the constitution.
