May Obtain Opinions.

| Mr.. Davies said that through the
stattstician or secretary OF the institute
members might submit questions con-
| fronting them In their practice on
which they desired professional opin-
ions other than their own. These opin-
Ions would be obtained and transmitted
without the name OF the inquirer or
that OF the member answering the In
cuiry being disclosed. the speaker as
serted.
Mr. Davies spoke of the work Of the
sccountancy committee OF the war In
dustries board. He said that the re-
spouse OF the members TO the call Tor
service was splendid.
II was voted at this mornings session
to remit the dues OF all members OF the
institute In the United States military
or naval service
George Q. Nay. chairman OF the en-
dowmsnt committee, spoke on the en-
dowIuenr plan He said that the time
was more opportuue now than ever De-
fore, because OF the war, for the IN
crease Of efficiency OF accountants
throughout the country. Elijah W.
Sells OF New York also spoke OF the
Importance OF the library plans and
said that he did not think the orsaniza-
tiou could undertake greater or more
important work.
Two papers were read at this after
Moons session which was called to
order at o'clock. The speakers were
Carl H Nau and Herbert c. Freeman.
The latter spoke on "Receivership Ac-
counting" while the subject of Mr.:
Nau's paper was Comparative Value OF
Personal Reputation and Conferred De-
grees.'' Mr.. Nau said, in part:
'.Innumerable instances of the futiilty
Of attempting to substitute degree 1or
a reputation could be culled from the
history of the evolution Of our profession
Suffice 1t to say that the formation OF the
institute was an attempt to nationanze
the profession, with centralized control
from within itself, in the place OF the
former scattering control, which lacked
uniformity of both aims and ideals, ana
which was Influenced quite as much by
political as by professional consldera-
tons.
Favors Standardization.
rI am for naturalization and standard
ization in everything from accountants
societies to divorce laws. Both historic
precedent and my own observations have
firmly persuaded me that the best form
of organization for a profession is the
form which will at least permit the pro-
fession to attempt to regulate itself.
1.-The reputation Of our profession and
its practitioners depends entirely upon
the wisdom and upon the fidelity to
lofty standards and high purposes with
which we undertake to regulate our
selves The only thing we can hope for
from the American institute Is that, by
cooperative effort, 1t may succeed in so
establishing a reputation for itself that
the individual members may feel 1t de-
sirable likewise to conserve his own rep
utation so not to jeopardize his member

CARATS FROM THE BIG DIAMOND

By winning yesterday the White Sox
boosted their lead 20 five full games
over the worlds champions.
Ty Cobb was the big factor in De-
troit's victory over Cleveland. The
Tiger slugger made a triple and three
singles in five times at bat.
When Chief Bender stopped the
Braves yesterday he rung up his sixth
consecutive triumph. Wour OF these
were shut-outs.
Tom Hughes beat the Phillies in the
second game Of a double-header and
ruined the last Quaker hope. Hughes
allowed only four hits.
Neither Boland nor Klepfer allowed
an earned run in the first ten innings
of yesterdays eleven inning game be-
twee the Cleveland and Detroit clubs.
Bender not only pitched grand ball
against Boston, but got a single and a
home run in three times at bat

It appeared highly probable when
the storm broke that Wild Bill's men
might win a game for a change. The
Senator's were easily retired in their
half and the home boys had two men
on bases and only one out when I'M

recess, which he later made perma-
