Choice Of a convention city Nwas
made by the directors OF the asso-
citation at their quarterly meeting
tut held in Chicago. The August
date is a departure from the asso-
ciation's practice of some years TO

idea that an August meeting would
be favorable to the business plans
of the largest proportion of the
