MEN
 HOLD MEETING
 IN NEW HAVEN

A few days ago the Purchasing Agents Association of Connecticut started their Fall Season With a meeting held in the cafeteria in the plant of the Acme Wire Company, New Haven, Conn. The meeting was well attended, there being eighty members and guests of the Associa- tion present Last Spring, the plan was adopted to hold the meetings in the cafeterias of the different indus trial plants, the Purchasing Agents of which are members of the Assocla- ton. This has been quite successful, but it was the concensus of opinion that the Acme Wire CoEapa played the part of host to better advantage ahan any of the other plants the As sociation has visited. The dinner was well prepared and served by young ladies of the Acme Wire Com pany. During the course of the meal, several solos were rendered by em-
 ployes of the Acme Wire Company, which won much applause.
 After dinner. Idr. c. w. Hill of , Babson's Statistical Organization, and
 Editor of their Financial Paper, spoke for an hour or more on the Present Financial and Business Con- ditions'. He had many charts and maps o which he based his talk, thus giving the Purchasing Agents an anal
 sis of business running back as far as 1912. He handled his subject
 very well indeed, and gave the mem- Der considerable information of a very helpful nature, particularly in view of basinS their purchases during the next few months. The subject of the National Conven- ton of the Purchasing Agents AsSo- citation at Chicago was discussed more or less at length, and quite a large number Of the mem berS present sig nifed their intention of attending.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

It is astounding that such viru- lent poison as that known as wood alcohol" should ever have been per- mitted 9 name that eounfounded it with the familiar ethyl-alcohol, the qualities of which are known to all. There should be a stiff penalty for bidding it's sale under any name re- sembling alcohol or without poison labeI.-Bristol Press.
 Collector of Internal Revenue Walsh is quoted in complaint against the newspapers for embarrassing his men in their enforcement of the prohibition law. When any of his sleuths appear in a town the newspapers proclaim their arrival and everybody covers up. The newspapers are not trying to queer his game, but when there is anything secret the newspapers are stimulated to uncover it. It ought to be possible for real sleuth to steal into town and do business without be- ing discovered until he has accom- pIished 8 good deal. It is not neces- sary for enough men to arrive to- gether, to visit all the drinking places in town.

SIR WILLIAM osLER.

While the name of Dr.. William Osler received widespread attention because of the statement which he made some years ago to the effect that man has. passed his usefulness at the age of 60 and should be chloro- formed it was not because ~ of that that he became famous. Dr. Osler, whose death has just occurred in En- gland in his seventy first year, has in his own case lived to prove the fal- lacy of his own statement.
 It was the claim of Sir William Osler that man had passed his most effective period at 40 and gradually grew less useful until the period for putting him out of existence painless ly arrived, but there are reasons to believe that later views much have altered his opinions. Certainly if he judged others by himself he must have changed his mind. Up to the age of 40 he had come into no greater prominence than the holding of two professorships. one in Canada and the other in this country. Following that however, was what appears to have been the most effective period in his life if we Sre to judge by the fame he secured during the 15 years at Johns Hopkins university and in the last ten years of his life during which he was regiUs professor of medicine at Ox- ford university and was engaged in writing and editing two books. in ad- dition to work in other organizations
 Dr. Osler was not a man who was trying to keep himself in the public eye, even though some of his state ments seemed to have that effect He was devoted to his work and ase the result of his experience unqdestion- ably took a different view of condi- tions in his last years from what he did in some of his earlier ones. Nei- ther he nor the world will be sorry that he proved his theory to be wrong It was not accepted at the time put forth any more than it is today.

Old New Bedford Ships.

An interesting and unsual collection of vessels was seen on the New Bed ford water front recently. At the old open wharf which is under the juris- diction of the lighthouse board, were moored many ships that showed an unusual variance in type. They rang ed from one of the latest of Uncle Sam's destrOyers to an ancient whale ship, q bark of the old fleet which years ago carried the American flag oyer the seven seas on prolonged whale hunts.
 Other vessels Of the polyglot fleet at this one pier included finely fit ted houseboat the Everglades, on the upper deck of which a nursemaid was wheeling a baby carriage; a two masted wooden Iightship, painted red and labelled Vineyard" a big, husky lighthouse tender and an ancient black schooner, two masted, and with boxlike lines.
 By far the oldest and perhaps the most Interesting of the varied flotilla was the whaleship. which was the bark Greyhound, just returned from a years cruise on the western ground. Her yeards, painted white, had been stripped of their canvas and the slim, trim whaleboats had been lowered from the heavy wooden davits, always swung outboard, whaleship fashion.
 The old ship was being made ready to be overhauled. Her last cruise was a successful one. 800 barrels of the valuable sperm being taken and de- spite her years the Greyhound will fare forth again on the seas, She was built in 1854, but despite her long ser vice of sixty-tive years she. is sound and sea worthy.

KEEP IT UP.

From the survey of business and industrial conditions which has been made by The Bulletin covering the past year Norwich and this end of Connecticut show conclusive evidence that advantage has been taken of the opportunities presented for develop ,ment and expansion. Never before has there been such satisfactory showing and this is to be found in nearly every line of endeavor. SGb~ stantial increases are shown in wages and the value of the manufactured products and with it there has been Unprecedented business in other than manufacturing lines as the bank fig ures clearly show.
 Recognizing the demand for goods there have been reclaimed many of the mills and factories that had been standing idle for varying periods. Not only have they been improved and equipped with modern machinery but they have in a number of cases been increased in size and the hum of in dustry has echoed throughout east ern Connecticut both day and night.
 This is Of course as it should be and from every indication there is go- ing to be sustained industrial activ- Ity throughout the new year. Produc- ton is as much demanded as ever. Business houses realize how difficult ii is 10 fill orders because of the lack of t and there is every reason to be- Eeve that this part of the state is go- ing to respond in the next twelve months. as it has in the past We have grown but there is still oppor- tunity for greater growth. In fact we ran never admit that we have reach cd the point where we can afford to stop growing.
 We have plenty of ways in which our facilities can be brought into greater use and every bit of energy should be applied to that end, and while we are giving attention to such matters we should net overlook the importance Of maintaining and in ereaslns good roads. giving due con- sideration to our transportation fa cilities. developing natural advan- tages and by the close cooperation between the various communities se- cure for this end of Connecticut the benefits to which it is entitled.
 The year 1919 has been a record breaker but there is every reason why 1920 should outdo it. That is the goal that should be headed for.
