interferences May 6, 1910, which position he held till he resigned June 12, 1918. He served several years in each of Divisions 19, 30 and 37; he was for four years an assistant examiner in the Interference Division before his elevation to the head of this division. He is now associated with the National Cash Register Company at Dayton, Ohio, in which new field we wish him success. Mr. Wm. F. Woolard was appointed fourth assistant examiner on July 1, 1891, from Illinois. He, too, was promoted through the grades to primary examiner, which position he attained May 8, 1906, being placed at the head of Division 21. On July 1, 1907, he was appointed Chief Clerk and occupied this position until May 3, 1918, when he returned to Division 21 as primary examiner. As a member of the corps he was always connected with Division 21. He resigned July 10, 1918, to be associated with Erwin and Wheeler, Milwaukee, Wis., carrying with him the best wishes of an exceedingly large circle of friends and acquaintances. The new head of Division 21, Mr. Wm. F. Thurber, was appointed to the corps Dec. 21, 1903, from Massachusetts he has served in all the grades as assistant examiner. With the exception of four and a half years in Division 38 he has been engaged in the Classification Division and has reclassified many classes throughout the office. He brings to Division 21 a practical knowledge of textile manufacturing gained before he came to the office by courses of study at the New Bedford, Massachusetts, Textile School and several years' work in textile mills in Massachusetts and Texas. Mr. Charles S. Grindle made examiner of interferences, June 17, 1918, was transferred from Division 31 over which division he had charge since the death of Dr. Ely. Mr. Grindle was appointed as fourth assistant examiner November 5, 1903 and made primary examiner August 1, 1916, being then given charge of Division 14. For six years, as assistant examiner, he was in the Interference Division and thus is abundantly qualified to determine interference contests. Mr. George A. Lovett took Mr. Grindle's place at the head of Division 31 on June 17, 1918, at which time he was promoted from first assistant to primary examiner. Mr. Lovett has been a member of the corps since April 1, 1905 and after serving something over three years in Division 12 was transferred to the Classification Division, where he remained till his recent promotion. Mr. Lovett has the degree of Ph. B. from Findlay College, and A. B. from Indiana University, where his major study was chemistry. In noting changes in the personnel of the corps it seems not inappropriate to remark on the recent addition of ladies thereto. While for some years the corps was graced by a sole representative of the sex, there are now no less than nine therein. Concerning their work one primary examiner has recently remarked, "Send me some more if they are as good as those I have." Captain Burns, formerly of Division 5, and Captain Zacharias, formerly of Division 34, recently registered at the headquarters of the American Universities in Paris giving their addresses as 60th Regt. Art., A. P. O. 702; we trust their many friends will fix up their address books accordingly. Captain Hodgkins is another of the Patent Office examiners to get into the thick of it abroad, he having sailed for France in the middle of August. He is connected with the staff of the 35th Brigade Coast Artillery, A. E. F. and this address should be kept in mind by his numerous friends. We note with regret the death of Ensign Delozier Davidson formerly a member of the corps. He was killed in France August 17 in consequence of an accident while flying in a seaplane. A graduate of Lehigh University he was appointed a fourth assistant examiner Dec. 21, 1915, and was assigned to Division 24. In August, 1917, he was promoted to the position of third assistant examiner and resigned soon afterwards to enter the aviation branch of the Navy. His father was for many years a member of the firm of Baldwin, Davidson and Wright of this city.
