 John F. Hughes spoke on the situa- tion saying that relief had been se- cured in other cities and why could it not be secured here.
 Resolution Voted Down.
 The resolution was read again and after some controversy was voted down.
 Following the business session Dr. Franklin NJ. Wilcox of the Norwich State Hospital for the Insane was in troduced by President James and sid- dressed. the meeting on the topic, The Increase Of Insanity Because Of the World War. Dr. Wilcox said that the great war had very little effect on the increase of insanity outside of non conba tants. But in the trenches cases of insanity were frequent but in the majority of cases were cura- b!s. He defined insanity as the de- Viatjon from the normal mental state ot >,1e individual. The great cause for Insanity is heredity and in nearly all cases of insanity if you trace family history you will find some weak strain.
 At this point of the talk one of the persons present was suddenly taken Ill and the meeting was brought to an abrupt close.
