The Atom.

Here is another long article in a magazine on the atom. All science depends upon what it means. There has been such a vast amount of light shed upon it that it has given us an entirely new chemistry, and it is going to affect other sciences the same way.

The old atom, upon which chemistry was founded on the idea that it was the final analysis of matter, has been broken up into hundreds of parts, each totally different from what the atom was supposed to be. All these parts are mere points of electrical energy, in wonderful activity. So after all, matter is merely motion, and so when God made matter, he only set afloat the undulating light across the etheric void.

Thus we see how closely chemistry is getting to psychics, philosophy, life and religion. It is this that is making research into the region of the atom so significant and interesting. In twenty years from now our view of the universe will be as different as Copernicus made it in his day, for then the individual atom will teach us the grandeur of life and the folly of our flitting solicitudes.

-Ohio State Journal.

The Ashbaugh Pharmacy.

T. Reed Ashbaugh, of East Liverpool, is one of the most progressive of druggists, as shown by his increased business, which has compelled him to seek larger quarters.

The room has a frontage of 27 feet and is 64 feet deep. The whole first floor will be devoted to the drug department, while in the basement a complete ice cream plant is to be installed.

A beautiful fountain of the Robert W. Green make adds to the appearance of the store, which is brilliantly lighted by an elaborate electric system.

Panama Exposition at San Diego.

Every one of the many exhibitors who are planning outdoor exhibits and buildings to contain individual exhibits, and all concessionaires at the San Diego Exposition have been notified by Director General H. O. Davis that all buildings for exhibits or concessions at this exposition must be ready for installation by July 1, 1914. Four of the big exhibitors who will have buildings of their own are now working on the exposition grounds, and some of the concessions have been begun.

Another month will see the completion of the great reinforced viaduct over Cabrille canyon, at the west entrance to the San Diego Exposition, permitting the hauling of material for the remainder of the exposition construction work over a much shorter and easier route, and giving easy access to visitors to the grounds.

Since the last announcement of progress on the main group of exhibit buildings, a gain of three weeks of time on the schedule has been made, and this part of the exposition work is now nine weeks ahead of schedule. The plantations and ground work are eightyfive per cent complete. Recent rains are causing the plantations to show wonderful growth.

Commissioners of the San Diego Exposition are now scattered over the United States, Europe and Central and South America, securing industrial and commercial exhibits, the exhibits of the arts and crafts, archaeological and ethnological specimens, manufactures, and horticultural and agricultural exhibits that will fill the great exhibit buildings. Many spectacular features are being secured.

W. W. Curtis, of Birmingham, Ala., recently visited New York and Baltimore. Mr. Curtis is one of Sharp & Dohme's General Representatives. He has working under him about twenty salesmen, who cover the Central Southern States. He reports trade conditions were quite satisfactory during 1913 and indicates that the druggists of his section are optimistic as to the present business outlook.

West Virginia State Rexall Club.

Buchannon, one of the old college towns of the state, had the distinction early in February, of entertaining the West Virginia State Rexall Club. The Board of Trade took an active part in the arrangements for looking after the visitors and a great deal of credit is accorded that organization for the splendid manner in which the visitors were received. But to G. O. Young goes the bulk of the credit, for it was he, who at the last meeting in Charleston, induced the Club to vote favorably on the invitation of the town, and select Buckhannon in preference to the other towns extending most cordial invitations. The business of the meeting occupied the greater part of two days, Wednesday and Thursday, 4 and 5, and the banquet which marked the close of the session was one of the most enjoyable events of the kind in the town's history.

To serve one year the following officers were elected by the Club: President, C. A. Neptune, Parkersburg; First vice president, J. A.

Sutherland, St. Albans; Second vice president, B. E. Downs, Welch; Third vice president, W. B. Miller, Shepherdstown; Secretarytreasurer, C. A. Potterfield, Charleston. Mr. Potterfield was elected the fourth time. He has been secretary-treasurer ever since the first meeting of the organization was called. Considerable care was taken in the selection of chairman of the various committees. They are as follows: Drugstore finances, S. M. Scott, Terra Alta;Unusual Side lines, G. O. Young, Buckhannon; General Advertising, C. A. Potterfield, Charleston; Window and Interior Displays, P. E. Downs, Welch; Special Sales, J. C. Davis, Wheeling; Salespeople and Salesmanship, F. B. Watkins, Grafton; Candy, Phil D. Phillips, Spencer; Toilet Goods, John Strosnider, Williamson; Stationary, Mr. Jones, Parkersburg; Rubber Goods, J. R. Elson, Wellsburg; Soda Fountains, J. H. Beam, Moundsville; Cigars, C. H. Goodykoontz, Bluefield.

Charleston was selected as the meeting place for the annual session of 1915.

Construction of the new biological laboratores of Eli Lilly and Company, about one and one-half miles west of Greenfield, is well under way. The company hopes to be able to occupy the new plant within a short time. The site is a farm of one hundred and fifty acres of some of the best land in this part of the state and is reached by the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction line and the Pennsylvania lines. There are to be three large buildings for laboratory work. Water will be supplied from driven wells 425 feet deep and the company will have its own power plant and a private septic tank system for disposing of sewage. The farm is to be used for experimental farming dealing particularly with plants that have a pharmaceutical and medicinal value.

Traveling salesmen of all of the wholesale drug houses and pharmaceutical manufacturing concerns in Indianapolis, together with several hundred salesmen from other lines of business were entertained at luncheon at the Severin Hotel, Indianapolis, on February 14.

Commerce. The purpose of the luncheon was to invite the co-operation of traveling salesmen in further extending Indianapolis as one of the leading wholesale markets in the middle west.

John E. Lambert died at his home, 2412 East Washington street, Indianapolis, on January 28, after an illness of a week from pneumonia. Until a few hours before his death, it was thought he had an excellent chance of recovery. Mr. Lambert was born in Rockville, Ind., October 9, 1867, and accompanied his parents to Indianapolis when he was a small boy. His father was in the retail drug business at 2408 East Washington street and upon the father's death, the son succeeded him eighteen years ago. About two months ago Mr. Lambert moved the store into attractive quarters in the new Tacoma Theater building at Tacoma avenue and East Washington street. The business will be continued by his son, Harry Lambert. A widow also survives. Burial was in Crown Hill Cemetery.

The Hamburg American Line steamship, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, which sailed from New York, February 12th, numbered among her passengers Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Lynn, of Indianapolis. Mr. Lynn is General Manager of the Eli Lilly & Co. and while the trip is essentially a business one, Mr. and Mrs. Lynn will combine it with pleasure in their travels. Some little time will be spent in England and an extensive tour of the continent is planned. It is expected that Mr. Lynn will be absent several months.

Employers in all lines of business in Indianapolis have organized the Associated Employers of Indianapolis and will maintain permanent quarters in the State Life building. The organization is the outgrowth of recent serious labor disturbances and the purpose of the association is to maintain the open shop principle in dealing with labor questions. With the new organization has been merged the Employers Association of Indianapolis and the Commercial Vehicle Owners Protective Association. There is a membership of several hundred.

About one hundred drug clerks employed in Rexall pharmacies over the state attended a meeting held at the Claypool Hotel, Indianapolis, on February 5. Henry J.
