Schlesinger having resigned, the Executive Committee has selected for this office Mr. R. E. Adams. Mr. Adams has been active in the Society since its organization, having served as Secretary for three years and has rendered valuable service on the Executive Committee and other committees of the Society. he has contributed largely to the success of numerous social gatherings of the members and friends of the Society from time-to-time. Mr. Adams' popularity and useful ness in the organization is shown by the frequent calls upon his time and talent made by the Society to which calls he has always cheerfully responded and in the performance of the duties involved in the same has always untiringly and efficiently labored. Mr. Adams entered the Patent Office in 1914 as Assistant Examiner in Division 17, having previously been employed as an examiner in the Civil Service Commission.

As Vice President of the Patent Office Society, Mr. Adams will avail himself of opportunities for further usefulness to the Society and the Patent Office. Dr. Beatty's Retirement. The Journal regrets to note the retirement of Dr. Wilbur M. Beatty on account of ill health after 21 years of service as Assistant Examiner.

He entered the Patent Office as Assistant Examiner, April 25, 1902. Dr. Beatty was an enthusiastic advocate of an international language and accomplished the monumental task of inventing one including a complete vocabulary, grammar and dictionary of 15,000 words and word-stems, published by the author in 1922. To this international language Dr. Beatty gave the name, Qosmiani. It is not intended to replace a Mother tongue but only to supplement it.
