The fina! program will be sent to all members of the Rochester Section, to secretaries of local sections, to members of the Council, and to all members mho make special request therefor by postal card t o this office. The expense of printing and mailing this program is so great that it will be sent only to those who especially desire it on account of their intention of attending the meeting. Other members will find it printed in the Society’s journals. ABSTRACTS OF PAPERS
Abstracts of papers should be prepared and brought t o the meeting, or, even better, sent to the Secretary in advance thereof. Members sometimes fail to realize how important this is to the success of the Society and t o the proper advertisement of the meeting itself. Unless abstracts of the papers are brought to the meeting and early placed in the Secretary’s hands, there is no opportunity for proper publicity in the local press, which is of very great advantage to the Society. Members will greatly aid the Secretary’s office by remembering this fact. HOTELS
The Hotel Seneca has been selected by the local committee
Vol. 5 , No. 8
as headquarters. It is essential that accommodations for the meeting should be secured a t the earliest possible moment, as another convention is to be held in Rochester during the week of September 8, and members of the Society coming without previously having secured rooms may be seriously inconvenienced. ENTERTAINMEST O F VISITING LADIES
During recent meetings, and especially a t the annual meeting, the number of visiting ladies has tended t o increase; and it is hoped that many of the members will bring ladies with them to the Rochester meeting. Every effort will be made to make their stay in Rochester an enjoyable one, and the local committee has outlined the following additional entertainmegt for the ladies who are present: TUESDAY, September 9, 8 30 P.M.,Card Party, Century Club.

The secretary of the Industrial Division, Mr. S. H. Salisbury, Jr., Lehigh University, South Bethlehem, Pa., wishes to announce t h a t a new. descriptive directory of the division will probably be issued the latter part of this year, provided members do their part toward its preparation and publication. In order t h a t the directory may be a success, it is necessary for all members engaged in industrial work who are, or who wish to be, registered in the Industrial Division, to send to Mr. Salisbury their present address and the occupation in which they are engaged, together with the lines of industrial chemistry in which they are most interested. It is also very essential that this information be accompanied by a contribution of $1 .oo toward the expenses of the division and the publication of the directory. It is hoped that members will endeavor to arrange their summer vacations so that they can be present at the Rochester meeting, which is certain to be one of the most enjoyable ever held by this Society.
