to Business.

Discussion of a proposition to or
ganiZe the blacksmiths, wagonmakers
and horseshoers of Kansas occupied
the morning hours of the annual con-
vention of the Kansas Association of
Blacksmiths, Horseshoers and Wagon
makers. The meeting was held in
the new rooms of the Chamber of
Commerce.
Some proposed that a state organ
izer be appointed while others believ-
ed county organizations formed as a
part of the state organization would
be the most effective means of bring
ing all members of the vocation to-
gether. Following dinner the same
proposition was taken up again.
The plan to include garage men in
the association, to create a law licens-
ing automobile owners who repair
their own cars and changing the name
of the association to the "Vulcans of
