The temporary j chairman and temporary secretary | were made permanent chairman and ] secretary for this convention. The committee on constitution 1 found it hard to modify and amend (< articles to suit the demands of many, 1 departments. Some of the outstand- i ing articles that passed, however, were as follows: Article I. Name?American Le-, gion Auxiliary. , j! Article IV. Eligibility?All wo-;; men shall be eligible to memberships' - x . . _ ,' who ai^ mothers, wives, sisters ana daughters of members of the Ameri- [: can Legion, and of men and women ] who were in the military or naval ser- j v vice of the United States at any time < \ between April 6. 1917 and Nov. 11, 1918, and who died in line of duty or. after honorable discharge and prior] / to Nov. 11, 1920; or those that stand : in that relationship in their respective : states.

Mrs. Lowill Hobart of Cincinnati was elected ifter several ballots. The election of rice presidents by sections caused the itmost confusion and waste of time, j After the meeting was adjourned he executive committee met and Miss ^uline Curwick of Indianapolis was 'lected national secretary and Miss ilcCoy national treasurer. In this first organization of the American Legion- Auxiliary several >oints stand out clearly: The very preat confusjon of an organization neeting where a hundred women try o talk at once; the absolute confilence the women have in the Legionlaires and their indention of workng and meeting with them, and the ,'ery great r^sDect with w.Ych the \merican Legion regards the Auxilary.
