and  urgent  request  to  all  who  are  interested  in  the  practical  work 
in  the  store  to  present  papers  before  this  Section  next  May. 
Because  of  the  meeting  coming  so  much  earlier  than  usual, 
it  will  be  necessary  to  have  the  titles  of  papers  furnished  me  not 
later  than  the  middle  of  March  and  it  is  desirable  that  the  papers  be 
received  at  the  same  time  or  as  soon  after  as  possible. 
Some  subjects  which  have  been  suggested  are: 
1.  Constructive  criticisms  of  the  U.  S.  P.  This  is  particularly 
pertinent  as  the  U.  S.  P.  Convention  follows  the  next  week. 
2.  The  part  which  the  pharmacist  is  to  play  in  the  revision  of 
the  U.  S.  P. 
3.  Consideration  of  new  remedies. 
4.  Papers  dealing  with  prescription  work. 
5.  The  pharmacist  as  a  clinical  chemist.  Papers  from  those  who 
have  had  experience  along  this  line  are  especially  desired. 
6.  What  professional  work  can  the  pharmacist  do  to  take  place 
of  that  which  is  passing  into  the  hands  of  the  large  manufacturer? 
7.  A  discussion  of  the  affiliation  of  the  drug  clerk  organization 
with  labor  unions  and  drug  clerk  strikes. 
8.  Is  it  desirable  to  have  laws  regulating  the  hours  which  the 
pharmacist  may  work? 
Papers  bearing  on  any  phase  of  Practical  Pharmacy  will  be  very 
acceptable. 
Yours  truly,

Dkar  Sirs:  A  prominent  manufacturer  has  recently  estab-- 
lished  an  Industrial  Fellowship  in  this  Institution  for  the  purpose  of 
extending  the  industrial  uses  of  glycerin.  The  writer,  who  is  the 
incumbent  of  the  Fellowship,  has  planned  primarily  to  center  the 
investigation  on  the  substitution  of  glycerin  in  place  of  alcohol  for
