PAYING LAST
HONORS TO WHITE
Government Activities Suspended and
Flags at Half Mast During
Funeral Hour

WASHINGTON. May 21.-The whole
nation. as represented by its government,
joined today in paying last houors to its
late chief justice, Edward Douglass
White. BY order of the President all
activities in the executive department
were suspended for the funeral set for 10
o'clock and will remain suspended all day.
The senate stood adjourned until Monday
and all courts of the city were in recess.
The funeral. private by request of the
family, wass arranged in no sense as an
official occasion but the position which
the chief justice held in the affairs of the
country made it impossible to eliminate
what amounted to official mourning. Sim
ultameously with the hour of the funeral
President Harding ordered that the Ameri-
can flag. wherever flown, be half masted,
and that a funeral salute of II guns be
fred at American military and naval
bases throughout the world.

QUESTIONS ARISE
REGARDING CURFEW
No Hokus-POkus Schemes of Evasion to
Be COuntenaneed-Birth Records
Available for Police

Since the announcement yesterday by
the village commissioners that the cur
few adopted at the annual village meet
ing would go into effect tomorrow night
three blasts of the fire alarm at $50
O'Clock being the signal for the kiddieS
to dig for home unless authorized to re-
main out, some questions have arisen
which have caused the commissioners to
think that certain bows and girls under
16 years of age intend to circumvent the
ordinance if possible. In discussing this
phase of the matter with Reformer
representative this forenoon Chairman II.
w. Gibson of the commissioners said that
while it would take a little time to get
the ordinance working smoothly it was
the intention of the commissioners to
have it reasonably enforced and that no
hOcuS-pocus schemes of evasion would
be countenanced.
Unless accompanied by parents or
guardians or some authorized person
children under 16 will not be permitted
to remain for the second performance at
the moving picture theatres without writ
ten permission. and new permit will be
necessary for each time a child is to at
tend after 9 o'clock. A general permit
to remain out whenever a child desires
will not answer.
If police officer is in doubt as to the
age of a boy or girl and has reason to
think a boy or girl is giving an incor-
rect statement he will consult the birth
records. A penalty is provided for vio-
lation of the ordinance.
The police appreciate the fact that the
length of girls skirt cannot longer be
taken as a guide in determining her age

WASHINGTON. May PA canvass

Temporary Building Needed
to Relieve Existing
Congestion
WOULD REQUIRE
NOT OVER $4,000
Plan Is TO Erect Building on Land Adj
jaeent to High School Building to Care
fors Two Grades and Teacher Training
C0urse-Meeting June I.

Congestion in the high school build
ing has made it seem wise to the pruden-
tiaI committee of school district No. 2
to call a special school meeting to see
about erecting temporary building The
committee issued a warrant today for a
special meeting to be held in the high
school room Wednesday evening, June 1,
at s o'clock, when the situation viii be
explained in detail to the voters.
There are three articles in the war
rant, the third being the usual one relat-
ing to "other business" The first and
second are as follows:
ITO see if the district will vote to in
struct the prudential committee to build
and equip a temporary schoolhouse on
land adjacent to the high school building,
for the purpose of accommodating two
or more of the grades, and to provide
room for a teacher training course, to re-
lieve the congestion now existing in the
high school building.
ITO see if the district will appropriate
a sum of money, not to exceed $1,000,
for the purpose of paying for the erec-
tion of said school building and equip
ping the same"
The plan which the committee has in
mind is to erect a building either on the
rear part of the school ground or on land
which the district rents of c. l. Stickney
| for additional playground purposes. 1t
would care for the seventh and eighth
grades which now occupy rooms in the
high school building. also the teacher
/ training course which the committee re-
Gently decided to establish next year. for
which a sufficient number Of students al
ready has been secured. The building
would not care for the grades now quar-
! tered in the Fleming house on Grove
street.
/ So great is the congestion in the high
school building that the natural increase
/ in the number of children in the district
demands additional quarters, not to men
tion the tuition pupils from the town dis
trict and elsewhere whom it is desired to
accommodate.
At first the committee thought one of
+ the houses on the Hines property. which
/ the district owns, might be refitted for
! this purpose and the building was exam
ined by Fred c. Brown. 1t was found
that large expense would be involved and
the building still not be fully satisfactory
Z The committee then considered buying
a portable building. but found that a new
building could be erected at less than the
cost of a portable building, while the in
come from rent of the house on the Hines
property would be sufficient to pay the in
/ terest on the outlay. For that reason it
was decided to put the question up to the
voters
/ 1t is hoped some time to have new
/ high school building on the Hines prop
erty, but the committee feels that the
present is not the time to consider such q
proposition.

TERM ANGLING
is INTERPRETED
What it Means New Law Pamph-
lets to Be Issued Soon.

State Fish and Game Commissioner
III. Il. Sheldon. at the request of County
Warden L. Ii. Metcalf of Brattleboro, has
Interpreted the definition of angling in
the fish and game laws as follows: 'One
line only. one hook To line, may be used
when fishing from the shore. and two
lines, one hook to tho line, when fishing
from boat"
All fishermen are warned that they
must hereafter fish only in strict COM
pliance with this provision of the law.
Commissioner Sheldon also announces
that the new law pamphlets are now in
the printers hands and will be ready for
distribution in a week or 50. Notice of
their arrival at the town clerks office in
BrattleborO will be given in The Re
former. so that all sportsmen will know
when they can get their books.
The county permit to take coarse fish.
especially suckers, by methods other
than angling, expired May 20, and from
now on spears, snares. naked hooks and
other Illegal deviseS will be under the
ban of the law The only legal way to
take any fish now. except minnows for
bait, is by hook and line. with bait on
the hook, and this remains true until
ice forms. after which certain fish may
be taken by tipups during the rest of the
open season for those fish.
Everyone is again reminded that the
temporary receipts issued by town clerks
before the regular fishing and hunting
license blanks arrived. must be exchanged
for the regular licenses at once. The
commissioner has announced June ID as
the limit date for making such exchange.
Another thing to remember is that
horned pouts cannot be bought or sold
between May IL and June 30: also that
it is always illegal to buy or sell any
kind of trout or salmon or black bass at
any time, and the buyer is liable to just
as much fine as is the seller; also it is
well to remember that the open season
for taking black bass does not begin un-
til July / under the new law.
