Joseph E. Ralph. director of the bureau

the death of DR.. Long had removed one
of the most valuable men in the employ

DIR. Long was an exceptional man in
many respects" stated Director Ralph.
He was ply sician, chemist and lin

matter TO fill the position made vacant by
his death. Indeed. l hardly know which

1wenty-elght years ago, said the di-
rector, Mr. Long came to the bureau
an ordinary worker. and while he was SO
employed he studied medicine at George
Washington University. Later he studied
chemistry. He was also a musician of
some note. He was a man of wonderful
resources and was an inspiration to the

the improvement of those with whom he
was associated. He was an earnest and
devoted friend. and a large number of
acquaintances will mourn his death as a
positive loss.
He was one OF the original members
