That women who knit are supplying what it would take a great many factory workers to supply-as well as much needed material used in more machinery to produce. That the Red Cross is not working inde- pendently of the government, but with it; that, finally, there is no truth in the statement that "the government has decided to take all the wool from the Red Cross" 1t would never be necessary for it to do more than say that knitting was no longer needed. There is plenty of waste yet-but it is never by the thoughtful woman and never endors- ed by the Red Cross.

hostility to the United States of
America, unless such newspaper, maga-
zine, periodical, or article, picture or
other matter be directed to be pub
lished by the act OF some authorized
governmental authority of the City of
East Orange, State of New Jersey or
United States of America"
When the ordinance comes up be-
fore the East Orange City Council it
will be for final consideration. News
dealers will oppose it strongly because
of the license fee of $5 which it fixes
as the price of a permit to do business
for one year. Despite the fact that
the ordinance is described in the in
strument itself as "drawn for purposes
of revenue" its obvious purpose is to
enable the city to control the publica
tions sold within its limits, and the
specification of incitement to disloyalty
as sufficient grounds for revocation Of
a license is regarded as its most sig
niticant feature.
The power to revoke licenses is CEN
tired in the Mayor alone and his deci-
sion is final. He may not revoke a
license summarily however: but must
give the newsdealer an opportunity to
present his side of the case. The
penalty for violation of the ordinance
is a fine of not more than S100 for
each offence.
Newsdealers say that if the ordi-
nance is passed every carrier will be
compelled to have a license and they
intend to make q protest when the

schools will open to-day and start on
the programme of instruction in Amer

children was estimated at between
100000 and 100000
Last year, with 100000 in the ele
mentary schools. the seating problem
was serious. This year j, probably will
be more serious by $4,000 pupils. There
were nearly 10000 children on part
time basis of instruction last year;
this year there may be $4,000 Thirty
thousand of these, it is said, are in

Furniture, fixtures and supplies from
the interned German liners taken over
by the government, which were stored
IN the six-story structure at 16 and IS
Concord Street, Brooklyn, were de-
stroyed By fire which burned for
three hours last evening. The amount
OF the loss has not been estimated but
l. is said that many valuable paintings
which were among the fittings of the
liners were destroyed.
The building has been used for the
last year as q storage warehouse for
the third naval district. The fire was
q spectacular one ana attracted crowd
of nearly $1,000.
Next to the burned structure is the
Ozanam Home for Friendless Women
and Children. Two hundred inmates
were taken safely out soon after the
fire had been discovered by Mrs Clara
Boyle, superintendent of the home.
They were given shelter at the CITY
garage, opposite. The home was not
damaged.
The police are unable to say how the

but were put under control before they

vent their being overcome by smoke.

But they reckoned without the Rubin

and his companion went neck and heels
over him. A ripping, rending sound
which accompanied the catastrophe
was echoed by yell of rage from

trousers had sacrificed their very unity
for the legs of their master.
Still yelling, he flung himself upon
the anglers and was sitting on both

trousers which emerged from the

Isldor Rubin, of 442 Newport Street,
Brooklyn, who slept, as most of mas

burglars began to prey on the district,
with his trousers on his mind, awoke
yesterday morning to see his Sunday
pair vanishing through the window of

dor gazed horror stricken at the dis
appearing trousers, he realized that
some early morning sportsman had
been sitting on the roof edge angling
for them and that the angler must still
be there
AS he leaped, all trouserless from his
bed, he heard footsteps descending the
stairs with stealthy creakngs and.
men, one of whom clasped close in his
arms the Rubin trousers of the laven-

feet into Tapping bedroom slippers,
