 J. K.

 Quarantine Question
 Concerning the quarantine convention soon to be held at Memphis, to which the club had been invited to send delegates, President Steiner said: -
 "Of greatest importance is the conven- ton to be held in Memphis, looking into the quarantine question. A committee should be appointed to represent this city, who should be we'll versed in health and quarantine matters, not necessarily all physicians
 This question precipitated another dis cussion. In view of the fact that the inyi- tation requests that only delegates in favor of national quarantine be sent it was sug- gested that there might be some members who favored state quarantnes.
 Sigfried Steiner was of the opinion that the club should put itself on record on the question.
 As to whether OF not physicians should be appointed as delegates, MT. Motion was of the opinion that the medical societies would be represented at the convention He thought that nasmuch as the Commercial club represented the commercial only commercial men should be sent.
 On motion of MT. Malone the chair was authorized to appoint three delegates whose voices were in accordance with the terms of the invitation.
 In order that he might ascertain who could serve President Steiner stated that he would announce the appointments >later
