ASSOCIATION'S ANNUAL MEETING 
HE American Genetic Association 
| will hold its thirteenth annual 
meeting in New York City, 
December 26-30, in connection 
with the American Association for the 
Advancement of Science. All sessions 
will be held at Columbia University. 
The full program, with the time and place 
of all sessions, will be issued about December 
15, and may be obtained by application to the 
secretary, 511 Eleventh Street N.W., Wash- 
ington, D. C.; or after Christmas at the head- 
quarters of the A. G. A. in New York, Hotel 
McAlpine; or at the New York headquarters 
of the A. A. A. S., Hotel Belmont. 
The opening session will be on Tues- 
day afternoon, December 26, at 2.30 
p. m. The title of the presidential 
address is ‘‘The Importance of Photo- 
graphs in Presenting Genetic Dis- 
coveries.”” A motion picture entitled 
“How Life Begins,’’ produced by George 
E. Stone, of the University of Cali- 
fornia, in collaboration with Dr. J. A. 
Long, will be shown through the 
courtesy of the Exhibitor’s Booking 
Agency. It is said to be the most 
successful film yet produced, in showing 
the processes of reproduction and em- 
bryology. 
Sessions will be held, probably by 
sections, both morning and afternoon 
of Wednesday, December 27. A sec- 
tion meeting may be held Thursday 
morning, December 28. Any other 
meetings will be joint ones, which will
