lation  of  the  A.  Ph.  A.,  announces  that  it  is  proposed  to  devote  a 
portion  of  one  session  of  that  Section  at  the  New  York  Meeting  of 
the  association  in  August  to  a  discussion  of  the  general  principles 
that  should  obtain  in  the  next  revision  of  the  U.  S.  P.  Constructive 
papers,  suggestions  and  discussions  will  be  the  timely  object  in  view. 
The  Inter-Racial  Council  and  Its  Work. — This  organiza- 
tion, of  which  Coleman  du  Pont  is  chairman  and  Philip  T.  Dodge 
vice-chairman,  has  opened  offices  at  120  Broadway,  New  York  City, 
and  has  engaged  upon  an  important  educational  programme  of 
Americanization.  In  a  recent  communication  attention  is  directed 
to  the  importance  of  developing  "  A  Foreign  Market  at  Home."  It 
is  shown  therein  that  there  are  in  America  fifteen  million  foreign- 
born,  and  including  those  of  foreign  parentage,  it  is  estimated  that 
there  are  thirty-three  million  who  should  be  cultivated  as  purchasers 
of  American-made  wares,  instead  of  encouraging  the  existing  pref- 
erence for  the  familiar  production  of  their  native  countries. 
The  campaign  is  to  make  the  thrifty  foreigner  a  good  customer 
for  American  goods ;  to  teach  him  the  merits  of  such  and  to  en- 
courage him  to  live  in  truly  American  style  and  ways.  The  purpose 
is  to  further  this  movement  in*  various  ways,  not  the  least  important 
of  which  will  be  by  utilizing  advertising  space  in  the  1,146  American 
papers  printed  in  foreign  languages  in  the  United  States  (excluding 
the  German,  which  number  483)  and  85  magazines,  many  of  which 
have  a  wide  circulation  and  exert  great  influence.  These  are  to  be 
made  "  trade  missionaries "  to  aid  in  the  Americanization  plans 
contemplated. 
Changes  in  the  Management  of  H.  K.  Mulford  Co. — At  a 
recent  meeting  of  the  directorate,  Mr.  K.  K.  Mulford  resigned  as 
vice-president  of  the  corporation  and  Mr.  Hilson  H.  White  was 
elected  to  fill  this  responsible  position.  Mr.  White  was  born  in 
Scotland  and  received  his  education  in  several  colleges  in  Scotland 
and  England.  He  was  engaged  for  some  years  in  one  of  the  large 
pharmacies  in  Toronto,  Canada. 
Having  accepted  a  position  as  a  travelling  salesman  with  the  H. 
K.  Mulford  Co.,  he  enthusiastically  devoted  his  energies  to  what 
was  to  him  a  congenial  opportunity  for  expansion.  His  success  and 
marked  ability  won  recognition  and  in  1910  he  was  made  general 
sales  manager  for  the  company.    Advancement  has  been  rapid,  and
