Meetings.
T H E practice of having a meeting of
members, managers, and heads of de­partments
was inaugurated at the Execu­tive
Offices, Tuesday, June 17, 1919. It
is planned to hold these meetings every
other Tuesday at two o'clock in the after­noon,
and to have them extend over a
period of about one hour. At such times
there will be discussed matters pertaining
to our organization and work. It is hoped
that members and managers from out of
town will, by their presence, add to the
pleasure and value of the meetings when
their visits to New York coincide with the
days on which meetings will be held.
The following announcement, which
will, we think, be of interest to everyone
in the organization, is quoted in part from
General Order No. 69 of the War Depart­ment,
under date of May 24, 1919:
"Awards of distinguished-service
