annually or quarterly.
Mr, O’N eil said he fe lt there had been
some misunderstanding, that the resolution
referred to how the chapters shall pay the
Association and not as to how the chapters
shall collect from th eir members. This was
m erely to change the m anner in which
chapters pay the m oney to headquarters.
Mr. O ’Neil explained that the Associa

how to collect, that could not be done, but
the amendment proposed w as to specify
how the chapters shall p ay the Association.
If thé chapters w ish to follow the same
method w ith their members, that is all right.
Mr. R. M. Sm ith said th ey figure that the
Association w as doing everything to im
