of the town. including practically the
entire business section.
To-day new South Boston, the sec
end largest bright tobacco market III

That the slump IN the stock mar

KNOX STATESMANSHIP
LACKING,-SAYS BABCOCK

After praising the scholarship, the
Keen insight and ability of the late
secretary of state, John Hay, who, he
declared, had, like former President
Roosevelt true feeling of the his
tortcal spirit" President X. c. Rabcock
of the University of Arizona. in his
Phi Beta Kappa address in Hearst hall.
Berkeley, yesterday afternoon, declared
that in sweeping contrast was the lack
of the historical spirit as shown by the
present secretary of state, PhiIander c..
Knox.
Babcock did not call Knox by name.
but he declared that the author of the
Zelaya note in the recent Nicaragua
controversy had little of the knowledge
of statesmanship displayed by the man
who formerly held his position.
In the presence of a large audience
President Babcock made a plea for a
study realizat tion-of the events Of
the past, the historic spirit, he termed
II. He said that only by an under
standing of the historical spirit was
knowledge attained and progression
sure.
He said that Roosevelt seemed tn
have the historical spirit more than
most men of his day, and that the
breadth of his understanding could be
measured by the famous pigskin library
he took with him to Africa.
Doctor Babcock quoted statistics to
show that the laboring man had in
the last 100 years cut down his hours
of daily labor 100 per cent, and that the
wage Garner of the future would prob
ably work but four to six hours a dav.
The most vital problem for them in
the future would be a solution as to
what should be done with the extra
hours OF leisure each day for in the

terday was taken up with the reading
of papers on various topics.
F. e. Scotford spoke on Drug Store

best methods of catching the attention
or the public by window dressing and
newspaper advertising He declared
that advertising by circulars and book
lets is waste of energy and money.

himself "the right hand of the physi-
cian.'
A paper on "The United States Phar-
macopiea and National Formula Prop
aganda" was read by Thomas Fl. Potts
secretary of the national association
OF retail druggists.
INSURANCE DISCUSSED.
j. 5. Pauldey of Los Angeles explained
the plan of operation by which drug
gists can insure themselves and save
the money to the state instead of
sending 1T outside of its borders, and
called attention ito the fact that the
insurance commissioner had in the
past few years opposed mutual pro-
ecCIi|e insurance planS, ana IL looks
as if he favored the big corporations
instead of protecting the people in the
matter of insurance"
Miss Clarissa NJ. Roehr, secretary of
the alumni association of the Califor-
MIA college of pharmacy, read a paper
on The Status of the Woman Phar-
macist." From this it appears that

two offices go together. although the

torney at law, and for many years
chief clerk to the commissioner, has
been urged for the place. Wright,

not know what action Judge de Haven
would take, as the judge had been
too sick of late to discuss the appoint
ment
COf many years I0et ONCE OIL master

San Francisco. 1t is understood that
after Attorney Wright takes Office the
scope of the master is to be enlarged

heard before him. In this way the cir
cult court will be greatly relieved and
the crowded calendar of that court will
be cleaned up. This has been the prac-
tica for wears the east.
