HOULTON. ME-. DOCTORS DRAW
LINE on MATERNITY CASES.

HOULTON. Me. Jan. 14.-.An
agreement by which the doctors of
Houlton decline to engage TO attend
any confinement eases beyond a mile
from the city during the winter
months was announced today. The
public notice gives as reason the
scarcity of doctors and nurses and
difficulties of travelling over the rural
roads. 1t points out that maternity
cases can best be cared for at either
of the HOuItOn hospitals. In reply
to the protest against this agreement
the doctors assert that to spend many
hours travelling into the rural dis
tricts would mean neglect of their
HOultOn patients.

Ocean to Ocean Tour to Be-
gin Here i'm Methodist
Church
PASTOR UNABLE
TO GUARD SECRET
Associated Press Despatch Gives it Away
-SOeiable to Be Followed by Ad-
dresses by Dr. Diffendorfer of Chicago
and DIR. Gage of Boston,

An ocean to ocean tour in which he
plans to show how the Centenary fund
of the council of the board of benevolence
of the Methodist Episcopal church is being
spent will be begun Monday at Brattle-
boro, VT, by DIR. Ralph Diffendorfer, it
was announced at the headquarters of the
council here today"
The above is the text of an Associated
Press despatch to The Refor1ner this fore
noon from Chicago, and thereby hangs an
interesting story.
For some time Rev. r. A. Num-, pas
tor of the Brattleboro Methodist church,
has been planning to have big church so
clable and at the same time to have some
speakers of prominence, and he has been
telling his church people about the so
ciable but not saying much about the
other feature except to promise that
big surprise was IN store.
The plans went along wonderfully well.
in fact with such impetus that they got
beyond the point where they could be
kept private, and today the Chicago an
nouncement was made, and through The
Reformer's despatch Rev. Mr. Num-
learned that the secret was out.
The despatch does not tell it all. how
ever, because in addition to DIR. Diffen-
dorfer, DR. J. NJ Gage of Boston. who
las charge of the Boston Centenary area.
will be here to speak, DIR. Dltfendorter
will bring a stereopticons and operator
and viii show some remarkably fine views.
These two men are live wires and are
among the best speakers in the denomi-
nation, and il is a graf card for the To-
cal church to have them here. Rev. Mr..
Num- invites the people OF thes other
churches to hear him, and it should be of
interest to everybody to know what is
bein~ done with the great fund OF sl4O,-
coo. 900 which the Methodist denomination
has pledged on a five-year basis, OF which
this is the second.
The sociabIe will be held at 7.30 o'clock,
next Monday evening, followed by the
addresses.

CHAMBER ACCEPTS
COMMITTEE REPORT
Referred to Directors for
Early and Favorable
Action
BOARD OF TRADE
PREFERRED AS NAME
Recommendations for Continuance of
Organization Include Maintenance of
Present Rooms and Immediate En-
plOyment of Part-Time Secretary.


Definite recommendations for the con-
tinuance of the Brattleboro Chamber of
Commerce as a live organization were
adopted at a meeting of the chamber last
evening. and referred to the directors for
favorable action. These recommendations
include:
Maintenance of the present rooms with
adequate clerical help.
The employment of a part-time secre-
tary. beginning at once.
The eventual employment of a full-time
secretary.
\ return to the name Board of Trade
instead of Chamber of Commerce.
An active campaign for additional mem
berShip and an adequate sustaining fund.
These recommendations We're embodied
in the report of the emergency committee
appointed last November and made up of
II. c. Rice. e. A. Boyden. NJ. c. HoUgh>
ton. {. :. Hopkins and w. L. Frost. The
report in detail follows:
This Emergency committee was ap-
pointed by the Brattleboro Chamber of
Commerce following a special meeting
to investigate the following propositions
and report to a second meeting to be called
about Dec. l, 1920:
l. What the organization has accom-
plished in Brattlehoro since its establish
ment.
II. What definite things are there for
the organization to try to accomplish at
the present time.
III. What. if any. changes should be
made in the constitution and bylaws to
facilitate the work of the organization.
". What amount of money is needed
annually to enabel it to function properly
and adequately.
After several committee meetings. the
proposition as a whole seemed 50 complex
that it was thought best to counsel with
the entire membership of the Chamber of
Commerce. This was done through a
series of hearings to which all members of
the organization We're invited, dividing
them aS far "a possible into Glasses repre-
Senting the various professions and occu-

At the hotel hundreds formed in line
TO shake the officers hands. Lieut. Far

the balloonists had done. He did not
consider that they had accomplished any
thing like a stupendOus feat. 1t was

DURHAM. \. H.. Jan. 14.-Tuition
charges to students from out of the state
entering the New Hampshire college viii
be increased 100 per cent and general fees
nearly 80 per cent at the opening OF the
next college year.
President II. y. TIetzel. in announcing
the increase. said today that it would cS-
tablish the highest charge for nonresident
students made by any state college in
the country-a total of 5000 which is
higher than the tuition charge at MANY of
the privately onwed institutions. The
president said:
This action of the trustees was in
spired by the desire to lessen the cost to
the state as far as practicable: first by
collecting as much as feasible from stu
dents: second. by limiting the number of
students who come to the college from
ether states and third, by recurring them
to bear much larger part of the cost of
their education.'
