1t is not expected that the discipline
ut the American spas will be as severe
as that to be found in Europe. In spite
of its frivolity Carlsbad had rigorous and
oftentimes annoying rules. The disci-
pline the patients we're obliged to under
go was particularly strict.
The doctors in Carlsbad are held by
the patients in what amounts to awe
and reverence Those who disobeyed
them did so at their own peril. we'll
known American was recently requested
to leave Carlsbad for disobedience. Wine
was forbidden in his regimen, but on his
birthday he made up his mind he was 60
ing to celebrate with champagne. He
dined and wined in town extremely well.
and when he returned to his hotel his
doctor was waiting for him in his room.
He requested the American to leave as
soon as It was convenient, and the hotel
keeper added his request. Discipline
had to be maintained, they said, so that
no stigma could be brought upon the
value of the waters.
Last Fourth Of July party of Ameri-
cans at Carlsbad decided to celebrate
the day with wine dinner. They were
well people who had accompanied inva-
lids to the baths. When they ordered
champagne the restaurateur refused to
serve it. 1t was not on the regimen OF

thorities would interfere and take away
his license, for they would permit moth
ing to be done which would impair the
reputation of the waters.
At White Sulphur Springs in West
Virginia can be found an idea OF what
the American Spas are going to develop
into. Here a colony has been established
which is giving to the springs the
merriest season in its history. The
honeymoon colony" it has been dubbed
by some. The week after their marriage
in New York the Baron and Baroness
de Nagell of Holland arrived.
Dancing is the chief diversion. Every
new dance is given an exposition here.
Last Saturday night the orchestra had
responded to three encores when one OF
the dancers challenged the orchestra
leader He wagered that the dancers
could Guidance the orchestra with half
minute intermissions.
The contest started and one by one the
dancers dropped out until the eleventh
rendition when the three judges cUIu-

life in general, in love with the world
and all its inhabitants and happy and
contented with the universe.
With these things in mind it is not
hard to imagine the brilliauce of the
gatherings at these places and the merri-
ment which will prevail. The dinners,
the dances. the receptions, the balls and
the parties which will follow one on the
other are never likely to be forgotten by
those who will participate in them. It
will be a bringing Of the seventh heaven
down to earth.
Yet it is not only in Saratoga and vir-
ginia Springs that extraordinary activity
is being shown. Plans are being rushed
at all the other American bathing places
to provide for the crowds which are ex-
pected to come as a result of the closing
OF the European spas. The only way in
which the American spas cannot equal
those of Europe is in the number OF
mud baths. The mud bath has become q
great. European favorite and II is re-
ligiously taken by those for whom 1t is
prescribed.
An American physician tells how he
took a mud bath at Carlsbad. He was in
perfect health. but took the bath for the
experience and the fun Of the thing.

No more need the rheumatic
patient and the harassed gout
sufferer gnash their teeth in rage at the
armies that are keeping them from the

America is ready to provide for them

going to afford them relief, but she is
going to produce in them that ecstasy
and delight in life which until now il
was thought that only champagne could
produce.
The radium bath is what is going to do
it. Both at Hot Springs, Va, and at Sar

OPPORTUNITY TO
WIDEN MAIN STREET
Crosby Says It Is Vital to Town to
Take Action-Iarge Fires Have
Improved Thoroughfare.

Editor of Reformer:
The fire of last night makes it an oppor-
tune time for the town to widen and
straighten Main street in its most congest-
ed and dangerous channel.
Three years ago a committee was ap-
pointed to have surveys made and plans
drawn. and these | believe are filed with
the town clerk Immediate action should
be taken before the construction of a new
building is allowed.
Brattleboro has had several large fires
of this kind. and while disastrous to the
owners, they have made it possible to inn
prove our Main street and greatly in-
crease the possible development of the
town.
In 1857 fire destroyed all the property
from Flat street south, to the extent of
IS buildings. In 1860 the buildings on
the present location of the Crosby block
and Brooks House were burned. At that
time the street was widened five feet and
even now it is altogether too narrow In
1877 the Revere House was burned, and
the street at that point was widened be
| tween five and six feet. 1t is absolutely
vital for the town to awaken to the pres
ent opportunity

DENIES
TAKING OUR TRADE
Sir Edward Grey Sends Note Saying
We Outstrip Britain in Exports
to Neutrals.

WASHINGTON, Oct 2-The state de-
partment yesterday made public a long
note from Sir Edward Grey, the British
foreign minister, in which he replied to
charges that the British blockade was
working to prevent American exports to
neutral countries while British exports to
the same countries had greatly increased.
Sir Edward Grey admits that British
exports or re-exports of many commOdi-
ties to the neutral countries have in
creased as result of the loss to those
countries of German sources of supply,
but he cites figures, many of them taken
from official American documents, to show
that in nearly every instance the increase
of American goods shipped to the countries
under discussion has been far greater than
! the British increase.
! The British note makes it plain that re
ports from Robert p Skinner. American
consul general in London, which have
/ been published in commerce reports
| daily publication of the American depart
ment OF commerce, are regarded unfavor-
tably in London. A report from Mr. Skin
ner, published on Aug. 30, said: 1T CON
tinues to be the case that many classes of
goods. the expectation Of which from the
/ United States to neutral countries is at
tended with great difficulties and hazards.
IaIe going forward freely from Great Brit
tin to the same countries, and in some
cases in largely increased quantities. Mr.
Skinner cited cocoa as an illustration,
without giving figures of American expor-
tation.
Sir Edward Greys paragraph regarding
cocoa gives an idea of his discussion OF
many other articles, from the increased
export of which the United States is prof
Iiting. He says:
United Kingdom re-exports of cocoa
have risen from 2,976, ,143 pounds in Jan
uary May, 1914, to 14,504,01 pounds ii
January May, 1915, an increase in rounC
numbers of II, 100000 pounds. Export.
from the United States for the same
months have risen from 1890 pounds il
1914, to 1G,O1G0O0 pounds in 1915, al
increase of 100000. These figure!

FRENCH HELP ENGLISH.
Picked Aviators in London to Teach
Methods OF Defense.

LONDON, Sept. 81. - (Correspon
dence of the Associated Press. Near
~ a dozen French aviators, all of them
picked men, have come to England to
aid British fiers in keeping off Zeppe-
Inns. AT least, that is the report cur
rent III London.
The air patrol of Paris has been re-
markably effective. Though the battle
line is less than so miles from the city
Paris has been practically immune for
months from air attacks; an immunity
doubtless due to the fact that day and
ight French birdmen are on the wing
over the city.
Until the raid of Sept. 8 England
hardly took the Zeppelin menace serl-
ously. But when the city proper was
attained by the raiders great change
came. Lighting restrictions, already
severe, were made even more drastic;
the air service was reorganized, with
the appointment of Admiral Sir Percy
Scott as the head of the forces de-
Tending London, and new and more
powerful anti-aircraft guns were install
ed at various strategic points through
out the city.
The French aviators, it is said, are
drilling the English fiiers in the art OF
pursuing Zeppelins in manner found
by the French to prove effective. Theirs
and the English method are widely
different The English, it is said, used
to persist in spiraling upward when
first Zeppelin was sighted This pro-
cess required considerable time, during
which the fast-moving airship was
likely to escape. The French method,
which, it is understood, the English are
adopting, calls for the aviator merely
to clear the housetops on first sighting
Zeppelin, then to shoot ahead at TINS
comparatively low altitude in the same
direction as the Zeppelin. Gradually the
desired altitude is reached, and in the
meantime the Zeppelin has not outdls
taneed the pursuer. Having headed il
off, the aviator, finally achieving 6
height greater than the Zeppelin, be
gins to drop his bombs or fire with hi'
machine gun.

DON'T NEED POLICE IN SCHOOLS.
St Albans School Board Not in Accord

ST. ALBANS, Oct. ,. = The board

good Merrill growing out of the arrest
of his two sons for the alleged stealing
of apples, adopted resolutions which, in
brief, exonerated 'fthc members of the
faculty. from all other charges than
the one that improper methods of dis
cipline were adopted and virtually
set forth that the board was desirous
that the schools be run without the aid
of the police.
Mr.. Merrill had charged that his
boys were publicly disgraced by be

The new and revised edition of
Peck's s Bad Boy Is the attraction at the
Auditorium next Wednesday, matinee
and night, and while it is an old IA
miliar title the show this season has
been brought up to the present day
theatrical standards as Irving Berlin
was engaged to rewrite the comedy and
set it to music and as a result II song
numbers are introduced during the ac
ton of the two acts. Lew Herman has
been engaged for the title role and
while it is conceded that initiating lu-
veniles on the stage is one of the most
difficult things in the art of acting, for
the reason that each boy or girl seems
to have a personality of his or her
own, each one equally natural, Mr. Her
man, according to criticisms which
have been made upon his work
this season, has mastered the art of iu-
venile impersonation as few young
men have mastered it before him. In
the support Of Mr.. Herman are a num-
Der of clever performers of diversified
ability.
