     B. F. Foster of this city, the new secretary of the Texas Funeral Directors and Embalmers Association reports the Dallas meeting as one of the best yet held.  The organization is a very useful and necessary one not only for the members but for the public as well, as one of its purposes is to faciliate the safe handling of dead bodies. At each meeting an expert funeral director delivers a series of lectures on the work of the undertaker which are very valuable. The association is composed of the leading underaakers of the state, in fact embraces about all those who are licensed and the secretaryship is quite an honor.
