MR. JAMES PICKEN, one of the alkali inspectors in the servipe of the Ministry of Health, died suddenly on February 17, aged forty-six. After a period of service with the Royal Garrison Artillery in France, Mr. Picken took his degree at the University of Glasgow, and was afterwards for some years in charge of the Glasgow Corporation's chemical works at Dawsholme and Pro van. He received his appointment as one of H.M. inspectors of alkali works in 1924, and from that time had been in charge of the Sheffield district, where his unfailing tact and courtesy, together with the efficient but sympathetic manner in which he carried out his duties, had earned him the respect and affection of all with whom he came into contact.
