Pr. Albert Khrcolt. president of the committee, and others, insisted that the members of the committee could nut represent their leagues until their appointment. had been ratified by their own organizations 111 argument that otherwise the societies would lose their autonomy, and tliat It was the parlia mentary procedure for bodie duly or icanixcd to ratify and give authority to perjons first, before they can prop erly represent those bodies, brought several spirited retort from Dr. Marie D. Kqul. "The Reverend Doctor might make it appear that It s the logical and parlia mentary thing." said Dr. Equl. "but the fact i that Mrs. Puntway ha the right to appoint member to the com mittee without reference to the rati fication of the societies they repre sent." "She cannot do that any more than he can appoint delegates to represent the Knights Templar or some wo man' fraternal lodge." said Mr. M. U. T.
