Uness Kansas furnishes proper IA
cilities for laboratory examinations of
Kansas druggists registered pharma-
cists from this state may be forced to
take examinations before they can
work in other states. Such was a
warning sounded today by Ed Dorsey
of Ottawa, at the opening session of
the thirty-eighth annual convention of
the Kansas Pharmaceutical aSsocia-
ton. Mr.. Dorsey blamed. the drug
gists as much as the legislators for
lack of proper appropriations by the
legislature for pharmacists. He point
ed out that organizations of other
DuSlI1GSS Hltll. IlO ldl Ser, DuL CO-OptI-
ating and taking hand in politics had
gained their points while the druggists
remained at home and attended to
their own business.
Il believe now is the time for US to
get together and make arrangements
to get the things we want" said the
ottawa druggist.
Under existing laws, registered Kan
sas pharmacists as well as those in
thirty-odd states may go from one
state to another and fill prescriptions
without taking examinations before
the state board of pharmacy in those
states. The alleged backwardness of
Kansas in not preparing laboratory
suitable for conducting laboratory ex-
aminations for pharmacists, such as
are held in other states, caused the
warning given today by the Ottawa
man.
Dorsey's talk followed the reading
of a report on the work of the school
of pharmacy by Harry Dick of Law
renee, chairman of that committee
and vice president of the association.
Mr.. Dick complained that the last leg
islature failed to appropriate suffi-
cient funds to enlarge the building
used for the school of pharmacy. He
suggested that the association en-
deavor to influence the next 1egisla-
ture to erect a separate building at
Lawrence for the school of pharmacy
and also remarked on the need of a
suitable laboratory for the use of the
! state board of pharmacy in examining
druggists.
Recognition in Army.
The druggists ask for better recog-
milton of chemists in the army who
now receive no rank higher than that
of first sergeant. They, at least, wish
to rank as a commissioned officer, the
same as veterinarians in the army.
Resolutions will be adopted UNFOLDING
the American Pharmaceutical associa-
ton in its fight for better recognition
for chemists and pharmacists in the
! army.
The convention opened with an in
vocation by the Rev. Stephen s. Estey
! of the First Presbyterian church. fol-
! lowed by an address of welcome by
Mayor House, who declared himself
glad to have the druggists in the city,
but admitted he didn't know how to
pronounce pharmaceutical" Harry
