 A flashlight picture was made of the group as every young man present was eager to send home a souvenir of the oc- casion.
 The members of the Argentine sani tary commission were sent to this coun- try because of their knowledge of engl- neering and their ability to see that the pipe now being manufactured for the greatest city comes up to the specifica- lions required Several of the young men are studying cement manufacture at southern plants.
 At the conclusion of the dinner a pa triotic telegram in Spanish was sent to Argentine Ambassador Naon at Washing ton signed by each man present.
