His father, William Herman, was a (Government clerk in the same department I was in at that time. He told me about his son's illness and asked me to visit him sometime as he had bought the boy a box of tricks and his son did not know how to do them.

BraeelJi Assemblies Philadelphia Assembly No. 4, S A. M. By JAMES C. WOBENSMITH,
Sec'y.
The regular monthly meeting of Philadelphia Assembly No. 4 was held on October 28, at the Vesper Cafe. We were quite pleased to have Julius Zancig drop in on us during the course of the evening, and to hear him recount some of his interesting experiences in various parts of the world. Compeer Zancig has opened a psychic parlor in Philadelphia, and expects to be here until after the Sesquicentennial. The principal features of the evening's entertainment were a fifteenminute program of miscellaneous effects presented by Paul Yacoobian, and a new version of the cards from the pocket, presented by Walter B. Gibson.
The JNext Regular Meeting of the Parent Assembly will be held in the East Room of the Hotel McAlpin, Broadway at 34th Street, New York City, Dec. 5, 1925, at 7:30 o'clock.
of &mettcan S^agiciang A telegram was received from Amac, regretting his inability to be present at the meeting, to which he had been invited, by reason of the fact that he was leaving town that evening. Amac has filled quite a. number of dates in the local vaudeville houses in and around Philadelphia, and his act has been very well received. Madame Adelaide Hermann is also playing the Philadelphia vaudeville houses, and is going over good. Visiting magicians who wish to meet the local magi are requested to communicate with the Secretary of our Assembly, James C. VVobensmith, 402 Bulletin Building, Philadelphia. Detroit, Mich., Nov. 8, 1925. DR. LIONEL HARTLEY,
452 Fifth Avenue, New York, N. Y. Dear Dr. Hartley: Many thanks for copy of MUM which I have just received. As secretary of the Detroit Assembly I will endeavor to carry out your wishes with regard to sending you reports of our various meetings. We have already started well, and the future of the Society certainly looks brighter than it has done for some time, and we shall be glad of the opportunity of sending you these reports as you request. Our new officers (all of Detroit) are as follows: James Brewer, President, 1437 Vinewood Avenue. O. Z. Ide, Vice-President, 340 Monterey Avenue. James W. Speke, Secretary, 9019 Quincy Avenue. You will find that your list of Assemblies as published in MUM is somewhat different from the above. I should be very glad if you will make the change in your next issue. With kindest regards, I remain, Respectfully yours, JAS. W H . SPEKE,
Secretary. Society of Detroit Magicians, 9019 Quincy Avenue, Detroit.
