REFORM.

The question of reform in A. Ph. A. conventions has been under discussion for some months, and in order to crystallize these discussions a special committee was appointed to revise the rules and by-laws of the association. The most important actions of this committee are the following:

The addresses of welcome and responses are to be omitted in future conventions. Council meetings will be held in the evenings except the first and the last meetings. The work of the sections will be confined to the hours between 9:30 and 12 in the morning and 2 to 5 or 6 in the afternoon and no section meetings shall be held at night. The usual concurrent meetings of sections will be continued and bulletins shall be provided in each to show what is going on in other meetings, so that a member may pass from one section to the other to hear those particular papers and discussions in which he is specially interested.

Manuscripts are to be secured by the chairmen of the Sections and sent to the General Secretary four weeks in advance. of the annual meetings, and such of these papers may be printed in advance as may seem desirable in the judgment of the General Secretary and the Section. chairmen. The General Secretary will then prepare a collective program, containing the detailed programs of each section and indicating the time of the reading and discussion on each paper.

The Section on Pharmacopoeias and Formularies was abolished and the Chairman of the Section of Practical Pharmacy and Dispensing was instructed to appoint. a committee of three on Pharmacopoeias and Fomularies to co-operate with the Section in securing papers on this subject.

The By-laws were amended to provide for the following sections: Scientific with the four sub-divisions of chemistry, botany and pharmacognosy, biologic assays and bacteriology; Commercial interests; Practical Pharmacy and Dispensing; Pharmaceutical Education and LegislaPharmacy; Historical Pharmacy; and the Women's Section.

Council was further authorized to create new sections when necessitated. The Sections shall perform such duties as may be referred to them and shall report to Council or the Association if so

Dr. Wm. J. Schieffelin of New York on the subject: Uniformity in Dosage of Radium Emanation.

New officers of the Scientific Section were chosen as follows: W. H. Englehardt, Baltimore, chairman; Dr. Wm. Mansfield, New York, Secretary, W. L. Scoville, Detroit and L. A. Brown, Lexington, Ky., vice-chairmen.

The entertainment features of the Detroit convention were on a very large scale, owing to the unusual attendance due to the joint meetings of the A. Ph. A. and the Michigan State Association.

The entertainment program was carried out in detail as planned. On Tuesday afternoon the ladies were the guests of Nelson Baker & Co., on a trip to Bois Blanc Island, supper being served on board the boat. The following afternoon a card party was given them in the Hotel Ponchartrain. On Wednesday evening the ladeis were the guests of The F. A. Thompson Co., and F. F. Ingram Co., at a theater party at Temple Theater. Thursday afternoon all sessions were suspended and everybody took the river excursion given by the Parke-Davis Company. A stop was made at the plant for an inspection trip, where the crowd was broken up into small parties and escorted over the immense Parke-Davis plant by members of the pharmaceutical staff. A special boat was chartered for the occasion. trip was continued up the river to the beautiful flats. Supper was served on the boat, the ladies being presented with American Beauty roses while the men enjoyed cigars. Friday afternoon everybody was taken on an automobile sight-seeing trip through the city, the parks and through Belle Isle. The gracious hospitality of their Detroit hosts left little chance for A. Ph. A. members to feel as strangers within their gates, and the formal vote of thanks but faintly expresses the appreciation of one and all for the warmth of their reception and the lavish entertainment.
