Mrs. Ellen A. O'Grady, Fifth Deputy
Police Commissioner, went to work yes
terday on the case of Lillian Rosncr,
three years old, who has been missing
from her home at So Lcnox Avenue
for four days. Accompanied by In
spector Faurot, Lieutenant Grant Will
Jams, Of the Bureau Of Missing Per
sons, and Acting Captain Richard Nc
Kenna, of the 4th Branch Detective
Bureau, she called on the parents Of
the little girl.
Mrs. O'Grady also interviewed the
little playmates Of the missing child,
and talked to Mrs. Margaret Levcnthal,
who said yesterday that she had seen
Lillian the day after her disappearance.
Mrs. O'Grady was optimistic. "Surcly
all these big, fine looking detectives
will be able to handle the case" she
said
81 talked with the little children who
played with Lillian" she said later,
land learned that she never wandered
away from the house, seldom even
crossing the street. In spite of the
fact that she played hide and seek, she
always hid near at hand. I have con-
cluded that if H crime has been COM
mitted it was done in the vicinity Of
her home"
Drops Title Of Commissioner
Just before seeing the mother of the
little girl, Mrs. O'Grady warned those
with her not to address her as "Mrs.
Commissioner" 81 don't want to alarm
the family" she said. 81 am here lust
as woman, and | want to have a
neart-to- heart talk with the mother"
Acting Captain McKenna said his men
nad run down number of clews each
Gay since the child was missed, but
that they had all been without result
so far. About forty detectives arc en-
gagged on the case, while all members
or the department have been instructed
10 be on the lookout for the little girl.

offer Of the Unique Supply Company to

one can become familiar with the little
girls appearance. In addition. Bow
Scouts arc looking through parks and
excavations, as we'll as cellars and al
ley"ays, for any trace of the child.
Mother Giving Up Hope
Although Mrs. Yetta Rosner. the moth
er Of the missing little girl. expressed
yesterday the fear that she would never
see her baby again, the police have not
given up hope. Every possibility. no
matter how improbable, is being in
vestigatcd. Chimney saunders we're at
work yesterday with the thought in
mind that the child might have been
killed and then hidden in chimney.
One OF the theories which the policc
consider most likely is that the child

Hoover's Food Regulations Now
Reach Out Over the Seven Seas
American and Aiess Steamships Signing Pledges to Main
tain Wheatess and Meatess Days Throughout Their
Voyages-Rules Also Apply to Passengers

The far-reaching hand of the United
States food administration has spread
out over the seven seas and wherever
American steamships and those of her
allies may venture. henceforth the rules
of food conservation Will probably be
enforced.
This food saving measure is largely
oIe by which steamship owners and
crews are put upon their honor to Oh
serve at sea a number Of meatless and
wheatless days throughout the various
vuyages.
Through the agency of the steamship
division of the food administration
which is under the direction of +. r.
Grabow, set Of rules have been formu-
lated for steamships operating in the
waters Of the Atlantic. Gulf and Great
Lakes. The rules apply also to pas
scngers.
Pledge Cards Signed
Pledge cards have been sent to all
American steamships and those OF the
Allies requesting that the following
observations be followed: "Wednesday
and Saturday shall be wheatless;
Tuesday, meatlcss; Saturday. porkless.
One wheatless and meatless meal shall
New-York tribune., 1918-02-02

be observed daily. On the wheatless
days, and during wheatless meals no
crackers. pastry. macaroni, breakfast at
foods or bread containing wheat flour
may be used except for thickenine
gravy and soups and for use as a
binder for corn bread"
1t is the desire OF the steamship
division to reduce the consumption Of
beef and wheat 80 per cent and pork 70
per cent.
Just how the passengers arc going
TO receive this new order is a matter
OF conjecture, but it is understood that
the steamship owners are going to ad
here rigidly to the request for food
conservation.
To Report Each Voyage
Cards have already been Furnished d
to steamship owners which, when filled
out and returned at the end of the
voyage. should give fairly good idea
OF the amount Of food that has been
conserved during the round trip.
list Of the number of passengers
carried. the length of the voyage and
the number of meals served during the
round trip must be recorded, and in
this manner the United States food ad-
ministration will be able to ascertain
how food is being conserved at sea.

EDUCATIONAL.

To MEMBERS Of BOARDS of EDUCATION:
As a member of the CouAty Board Of
Education / am sure you wish to do
that which is best for YOUR schools.
Permit me to say that believe never
before in the history of our state have
boards Of education been confronted
with so serious problems as will con-
front them during the coming months.
During these war times when every
phase OF life and business is lbeing af-
fected we cannot expect our schools to
be an exception.
Every year we have q shortage of
qualified teachers but next year we
may expect the shortage to be far in
excess of what It has ever before been.
There may be two causes for this.
First, q large part Of our teachers
have and will enter the military service.
Second, the increased cost of living
will cause many Of our efficient teachers
to seek more lucrative employment un-
less we increase the teachers salary in
keeping with :the increased cost of
living. We must pay efficient teachers
in keeping with present conditions and
not with those of even year ago.
Unless teachers are so paid they must
leave the profession and We can not
blame them. This would mean our
schools must be taught by inefficient
teachers who can afford to teach at
any kind Of salary.
My advice is employ your teachers
early, pay such salaries :as will give
you efficient teachers, insist that your
teachers, who do not hold certificates,
take the March examination, and run
your schools next year at the time
when the largest number Of children
can and will attend. II you use coal IN
your schools keep in mind that the gov
eminent authorities say II the war con-
tinues the coal shortage will be more
serious next year than it is this.
We must not let the war lower the
standard or lessen the efficiency Of our
schools. While it is wise to prepare
for war in the time of peace it is our
duty As school people to prepare for
peace in time Of war. Our boys and
girls in school must be prepared to
maintain the democratic form of gov
eminent that so many are now dying to
preserve.
When the State Department of Ed
ucation can serve you, call on US.
Very sincerely, S. W. SHERRILL,
State Superintendent.
