Club will be an important one. The 

 September meeting was regarded only 

 in the light of a curtain raiser. The 

 special publicity meeting held at the 

 Adelphia September 15 deferred action 

 on the plans for a flower week until 

 the regular meeting of the club, sched- 

 uled for Tuesday evening, October 7. 

 Ab these plans are to go into effect the 

 following week and their success de- 

 pends on hearty general support, it is 

 the duty of all members of the club 

 to give them thought and to support 

 them cordially, if approved. 



The plans are that during this week, 

 beginning with Monday, October 13, a 

 united effort will be made to attract 

 attention to flowers. The stores are 

 all to be gaily decorated, the sign, "Say 

 It with Flowers," will be displayed and 

 a parade of decorated cars and of floats 

 will be held. 



The election of officers will be held 

 at this meeting. There is one contest, 

 for the office of vice-president. The 

 nominees are: For president, Edmund 

 A. Harvey; for vice-president, Arthur 

 A. Niessen ai.d Harvey Betz; for treas- 

 urer, George Craig; for secretary, Rob- 

 ert Kift. 



Conditioiis Abroad. 



Sydney H. Bayersdorfer, who will be 

 back in Philadelphia before these lines 

 appear, has written from abroad to his 

 father entertainingly of conditions in 

 Hurope. He says that he was given an 

 egg for breakfast as a great delicacy; 

 that in the hotels Tuesdays, Thursdays 

 and Saturdays are bath days, and then 

 tipping was necessary to insure getting 

 the bath. The scarcity of water was 

 due to the coal shortage, which was also 

 apparent in the speed of trains. A 

 journey that formerly occupied three 

 hours now takes a whole day. Nowhere 

 in Germany did Mr. Bayersdorfer hear a 

 word spoken against America. He was 

 kindly greeted everywhere. Those who 

 knew him asked for his father, who

 Mr. Bayersdorfer said that raw ma- 

 terials are scarce and that in other 

 countries goods that appeared to be 

 German were being offered for sale.
