association that the committee on revi-
sion of the United States Pharmacopoeia
should issue, at least annually a supple
ment of the changes in standards and
tests so as to keep the pharmacopoeia up
to date. A committee Of three was ap-
pointed to take the matter UP with the
committee of revision.
The question of fire insurance came up
for discussion, and it suggested that
the association engage the services of an
expert in the insurance business, whose
sole occupation shall be to study. and at
tend to the needs OF the drug trss.e in the
line of insurance. This suggestion met
with much opposition from representa-
tives of large drug houses of New York
city who, 1t was stated. have In their serv-
ice insurance experts whose views of the
subject might conflict with the expert
of the association, with the result that
one misunderstanding would follow another
until trouble would ensue. The PROPOSE
ton was rejected
