Lieut.. Col. Clarence Sheriff. has
taken over his new duties as aide to
the President and if--or say rather
when-the expected series of White
House garden parties materialize, IL IL
he who will be master of ceremonies
Colonel Sherrill's appointment is a
popular one, for, in addition to being
a hero, he has the genial, kindly spirit
that promises much to all who look
forward to the social side of the Ad-
ministration.
Lieutenant Colonel Sherrilrs ap-
pointment makes him Commissioner
of Public Buildings and Grounds as
well as ex-officio chief aide to the
President, and so carries with 1t a
variety of responsibilities. That he
will meet all the demands upon him
in a way that leaves nothing to be
desired is certain. IL one may Judge
by his past record.
In the war Colonel Sheriff. COM
manded the 302d regiment of engi-
neers, which was awarded the Croix
de Guerre with palm by General Pc
tain. He was chief of STAFF of the
Seventy-seventh division during the
Argonne drive, and after the ar
mistice was appointed a member OF
the third army commission to take
over the governmental activities of
the Germans in the occupied terri
tory.

highly successful revival of a pleas
ant practice.

Considerable gaiety was in evidence at times during the session. 1. President A. T. Dosser delivered his annual address to begin the evening ses- sion. He called attention to lax metn- eds in vogue at one time during the re- cent period of prosperity up to the early part of 1920.
 Up to 1920 we did not pay much at fention to our expense accounts or to the money-saving devices of our trade. We even joked about our excess profits tax. Tn the latter part of 1920, however, the rosy outlook which we had accustomed ourselves to, began to darken and we found ourselves fighting against finan- cial situation from which we were able to save ourselves by the greatest effort We are truly thankful that every mem her of this assocation has weathered the storm and that we have had no serious financial failures.
 There never was time when loyalty, co-operation and spirit of mutual help fitness were more needed than at tne present." continued the president we are treading on treacherous market, the credit situation is critical; we ina ourselves in need of reduced transporta- tion charges, relief from taxation bur 1ens. better terms in buying and selling, and cures for the return of goods ana discount order evils.
