Dublin, Sept. 26.-At a largely at.

CHANGES INSTITUTED BY
WOMEN C. o. EORESTERS

Local delegates to the high court
session of the Women's Catholic Or
der of Foresters have recently been
telling their courts of the changes
made at the convention.
The organization changed its by
laws so as to place it's benefits within
the reach OF many people who, here
tofore, could not avail themselves of
them. Formerly, the minimum insur-
ance which could be subscribed to was
$500 per individual, but that has been
reduced to the still lower minimum of
$3.50. Formerly also the limit of age
for admission to membership was from
IS to so years. Now, however, the
minimum age has been reduced to six
teen years, the maximum remaining
at SO years.
Heretofore the organization has
been governed by high court, repre-
senting the order throughout the ma.
tion This required an immense num-
ber of delegates. But the court just
closed is the last one of the kind which
will be held. Instead, each state will
have it's own state high court which
will look after the affairs of the order
in that state. Each state court, how
ever, will be subordinate to national
high court which, in itself, will consist
of delegates elected by the several
state high courts. 1t is thought this
system of federation will save great
deal of money which is now paid to
transport delegates from courts in dis
tant parts of every state in the union,
The national high court will fix the
date on which the state courts will
meet The state and national courts
will be held every four years. Here
tofore, the national high court has
been held triennially.
