Mr. Marshall suggests that it be named

The region is as beautiful as any to

Mr.. Marshall, las there is spread be-
fore the eye the gorgeous assemblage
of wonderful mountain ranges sur
rounded by fantastic and ever-chang-

800 to $4,000 feet. and the area is well

Meeting Is Adjourned.

DR. Williams declared. however. that II
was beyond his control to allow the orig
inai motion to be changed or amended
to NEE: the suggestion. inasmuch as the
number of directors and their names had
been chosen by a committee. of which he
was only one member. lie urged that
this committee had considered at length
the ACCESSIBILITY of having more directors
than originally named. but had come to
the conclusion that a larger NUMBER
would be ineXpedient
Surgeon General Stokes of the United
States Navy advocated postponing the
question of the directors and the election
of officers until another meeting or the
society is held.
The attendance i'm the hall had thinned
out rapidly while discussion regarding
eligibility for voting was taking place.
and Surgeon General Stokes. who was
presiding declared the meeting adjourned.
Another meeting to complete the organ
ization of the society and to elect officers
will be held in the near future. The ex-
act date is not now decided upon.
