-^°juiy^^92'o: }       The  Forty-third  Annual  Meeting.  493 
resume  of  the  important  events  and  legislation  affecting  pharmacy 
that  had  transpired  during  the  year.  It  contained  many  valuable 
suggestions,  which  are  fully  covered  in  the  report  of  the  Committee 
on  President's  Address. 
At  the  fourth  session  the  report  of  the  Committee  on  Drug 
Market  was  read  by  John  G.  Roberts,  Chairman,  and  contained 
many  valuable  contributions  on  the  quality  of  drugs  and  chemicals 
now  being  obtained  from  foreign  and  domestic  sources. 
P.  S.  Rohn,  of  Philadelphia,  was  then  called  upon  to  present  the 
report  of  the  Committee  on  Membership,  and  his  statement  that  350 
new  members  had  been  taken  into  the  association  in  the  past  year 
was  roundly  applauded. 
Dr.  H.  V.  Arny  addressed  the  convention  on  the  subject  of 
Research  in  American  Pharmacy.  Dr.  Arny  complimented  the 
Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association  on  the  active  part  it  has 
always  taken  in  the  development  of  American  Pharmacy  and  the 
great  amount  of  research  work  carried  on  by  its  members.  He 
pointed  out  the  many  important  discoveries  in  chemistry,  pharmacy 
and  allied  sciences  which  had  been  made  by  pharmacists  working 
in  their  laboratories  and  called  attention  to  the  great  field  of  work 
still  before  us.  This  address  was  highly  complimented  by  various 
members. 
Lieutenant  Havinghurst  of  the  United  States  Army  was  then 
called  upon  to  deliver  a  message  on  the  new  Peace-time  Army. 
He  pointed  out  the  difference  between  the  regular  army  of  pre-war 
days  and  the  new  army  that  was  now  being  organized  and  the  won- 
derful opportunities  offered  young  men  for  securing  not  only  military 
training  but  an  education  in  various  crafts. 
The  President  then  introduced  Hon.  J.  H.  Divel,  of  Philadelphia, 
from  the  office  of  the  Prohibition  Director,  who  spoke  at  some 
length  on  the  problem  confronting  his  office  in  carrying  out  the 
enforcement  of  the  prohibition  law. 
Mr.  Divel  pointed  out  the  great  influence  that  the  pharmacists 
of  the  State  wield  with  the  community  at  large  and  called  for  their 
wholehearted  cooperation  in  enforcing  the  i8th  amendment  and  the 
Volstead  Law.  He  then  offered  to  answer  any  questions  that  might 
be  propounded  by  the  members  on  the  subject  of  prohibition  legis- 
lation and  a  very  interesting  discussion  ensued.  This  was  followed 
by  a  motion  by  Mr.  Heffner,  of  Lockhaven,  that  a  committee  of 
five  be  appointed  to  take  up  with  Mr.  Divel  the  matter  of  prohibi-
