SPECIAL NOTICE TO MEMBERS 



AS explained in the last issue of the Journal, the 

 reckoning of numbers and volumes has had to be 

 changed on account of a recent ruling of the Post 

 Office Department, which requires the Journal to bear 

 the designation of the current month in order to be 

 mailed as second class matter. Accumulated delays in 

 publication during the war period, which it has been im- 

 possible to overcome, resulted in the tardy issuance of 

 the Journal that we must now remedy. 



As the most practical way of meeting the difficulty 

 the Council has voted to set membership dues ahead six 

 months, from January to July, and to mark the current 

 issue as the beginning of a new volume, to avoid disturb- 

 ing the normal relation of the volumes to the calendar 

 years. Although Volume XIV will consist of only nine 

 numbers, it is considered that this inconvenience will be 

 only temporary and cause much less trouble eventually 

 than other ways of adjusting the difficulty.
