GOVERNMENT BARS
MEMS NORFOLK COATS
All Clothing With Belts and Pleats Is
Ruled Out-Regulation Are
Effective at Once.

New York, June p Manufacturing
clothiers throughout the country are re-
ceiving notice of ruling of the conser-
walton division of the war industries
board, recommending that all cloth belts,
including sewed-on belts on trousers, be
eliminated for the fall season, 1918. 1t
says;
1T seems to this division inadyisable
that Norfolk coat or any other gar
ment using cloth for belts, pleats, etc..
should be made of any material Al
though we have made no general recon-
mendat ion to the trade on this subject,
we have advised individual manufactur-
ers to this effect, and one or two of these
letters have been published in the trade
press. Although our recommendations
were primarily to secure economy in the
use of wooden materials, it seems desir-
able to extend this to other materials,
for the following reasons:
"It is impractical to make a distinc-
ton between fabrics where style features
are concerned.
at is impossible to draw a definite
line, because some of the so called sum
mer fabrics contain q certain percentage
of wool, others none, and the ordinary
layman will fail to make distinction.
"'This division has already been caused
considerable annoyance by reports of vio-
lations of our recommendations, which,
when run down, proved to be reported
because the distinction had not been
made. We therefore request manufactur-
ers to consider our recommendations rs
covering garments made of all kinds of
fabrics and so advise your customers"

proved the revocation of wholesalers Ii
cense held by Genaro Franco & Son of
1877 Columbus avenue, for the duration
of the war, beginning June TO-
This action against the Franco concern
follows the Ridgefeld raid last week, in
which it was found that 10 or more fam
lilies there were boarding -four which
they had bought at excess prices through
New Haven firms who had had the -four
carried to that town by motor truck.
A hearing was held and it is stated
that Franco admitted selling the wheat
-four without the required amount Of
substitutes and that he obtained exces-
sive prices for the wheat -four as a boz
nus. Other action in the case is pending
Franco & Son is the second New Haven
firm to have its wholesale license re
voked.
In the matter of -four boarding at
Ridgefeld the excessive stock was seized
from the householders but no further ac-
lion taken, as all are poor and of foreign
birth and appeared not to understand

Woman Says.

Berne, June - AS bearing upon the
war losses of some German families a

1885, SURVEY

:, Frederick Bass, the consulting engin-
Ger, who was hired by the city to make
q survey Of the water works Of the
city, again met with the council Tues
day evening. A number of questions
were asked Mr.. Bass for further en-
on his report, which he
read before the council some time ago.
He will meet again with the council on
June H., when all questions concerning
the report will be answered. Three hun
dred dollars was allowed towards Mr..
Bass salary which is due him up to the
present time. The remainder of the
pay for his services will be paid in the

It was decided by the council to rent
the vacant lot back of the Julius Jetka
hardware store to be used as a place
where farmers can leave their teams
while trading in town. The committee
appointed to look the matter up con-
sidered it advisable for the city to rent
this property as they are getting it at
an extremely low figure. The same COM
mittee was instructed to see whether
or not cars could be parked in the mid
die Of the street so as to let farmers in
at the curb. They reported that Broad
way was too narrow but that First
street was wide enough for the purpose.
