*•      April,  1918. 
presidents  of  that  Association  are  to  be  drawn  upon  in  sufficient 
number  to  create  a  committee  of  five.  No  bar  is  to  be  placed  upon 
the  kind  of  work  accomplished  nor  is  the  award  to  be  restricted  to 
any  class  of  pharmacists,  i.  e.,  to  teachers  or  so-called  professional 
pharmacists  alone. 
The  medal  is  to  be  presented  by  the  senior  past  president  of  the 
New  York  Branch  at  a  meeting  of  that  Local  Branch;  the  intention 
being  to  devote  annually  one  meeting  for  this  special  purpose. 
Rev.  William  Remington  an  Army  Chaplain. — Rev.  William 
Remington,  a  son  of  the  late  Prof.  Jos.  P.  Remington,  who  was  re- 
cently consecrated  as  suffragan  bishop  of  the  Episcopal  Church  for 
South  Dakota,  is  now  serving  in  France  as  chaplain  of  the  Mayo 
Base  Hospital  Unit. 
Price  Cutting  as  an  Unfair  Method  of  Trade. — The  Federal 
Trade  Commission  has  cited  the  United  Drug  Company  to  answer  a 
complaint  of  unfair  methods  of  competition,  and  has  appointed  a 
time  for  a  hearing  thereon.  It  is  averred  that  this  company  has 
violated  the  provisions  of  the  Act  of  September  25,  1914,  by  selling 
at  its  local  stores  patent  and  proprietary  articles  of  merchandise  at 
less  than  cost  and  that  such  action  and  practices  were  engaged  in  for 
the  purpose  of  suppressing  competition  in  interstate  commerce. 
Lieutenant  Mil  son  Addresses  the  Students  of  the  P.  C.  P. — 
Lieutenant  Milson  of  the  Canadian  Army  addressed  the  senior 
classes  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  on  Thursday  morn- 
ing, March  14.  He  very  interestingly  described  the  exploits  of  con- 
tingents of  the  Canadian  Army  who  have  rendered  such  signal 
service  in  the  present  war. 
Adam  Hastings  Fitzkee,  P.D.,  in  the  Aviation  Corps. — Lieu- 
tenant A.  H.  Fitzkee,  formerly  Assistant  to  the  Director  of  the 
Pharmaceutical  Laboratory  of  the  P.  C.  P.,  was  a  visitor  to  the 
College  the  other  day.  He  has  very  promptly  demonstrated  an  abil- 
ity that  in  the  short  time  since  his  enlistment  has  elevated  him  from 
the  rank  of  private  to  a  lieutenancy.  We  expect  shortly  to  hear  of 
his  service  for  the  allies  on  the  other  side  of  the  ocean  and  un- 
doubtedly he  will  give  a  good  account  of  himself  "  over  there."
