confined to her bed for some
time several months ago.
Colonel James F. Coupal
and Lieutenant Commander
Joel T. Boone. White House
physicians, were in consultation

the trip should be undertaken
Or not. A final decision will be

Melvin Traylor, new head Of the
U. S. G.. A., has risen to the presi.
dency after a long period Of notable
achievements in the banking world.
Of which his elevation to the presi-
dency of the First National bank of
Chicago at the age Of 46 is outstand-
ing. He Is now 80 and his life is
filled with hard work and efficient
service. He was born in Kentucky
but spent the early days Of his bust
ness career in Texas. Promotion
brought him later to st. Louis, where
he first became interested in golf. He
never created much OF a racket as a
player. but is as enthusiastic as any
who wander off the fairway.
Traylor was first vice president Of
the W. G. A. in 1928 and 1924 when
Charles Pfeil was president. and was
nominated 70 head the association in
1925, but the pressure Of business
would not allow.
He replace as president OF the
L. S. G.. A., the late Charles Pfeil,
who recently died after being nomi-
mated to succeed William c. Fownes.
