Approaching Easter Finds Clothing Department Prepared

In this connection the tendency OF
the times toward federal aid for state
education was noted as a forward
movement Of great significance
Several speakers who had attended
the convention of educators recently
held at Atlantic City, remarked that
the keynote Of the convention seemed
to be Federal Action in Education"
the logic Of the situation being that
i the nation is to claim the services
of its citizens, it in turn should
assume a larger share of the respon-
sibility and burden Of their education.
At the "headmasters' banquet" at
the New Sherwood" Friday night.
Dr. NJ. b, Hillegas, state commissioner
Of education, discussed the proposed
Vermont teachers pension system,
measure which, if finally adopted, will
mean much for the improving Of the
personnel Of the profession and conse-
qucntly for the benefit Of the whole
community.
One Of the major features Of the
convention was The part played by the
public schools in the immediate and
vital problem Of food conservation and
'ood production during the present
.risis. State Agricultural Commits
.ioner + S. Brigham, stated that re-
.ent statistics showed that this year
n New York state the available labor
or farm work was is per cent less
han that Of the year before; and that ,
asst year it was l6 per cent less than !
or the year previous, Every state in (
he Union faced labor shortage situ- !
ton on the farms equally acute. q
Commissioner Brigham, who is no t
'4rris;. stated further. on the au- n
loriiy d a wcil-known Massachusetts q
expert that, as regards Q
total agricultural production for z
q coming year, there Is one chance in J
yca,y that next years crop output
Tie whole country would be great :
,hao last year; four chances in
e that i would be as good as last ri
fifteen chances in twenty that i, Il

u. S. Uniform Worn in
Daring Noon Hold-Up
Youth Robbed of $500 Payroll
in Crowded Street and
Thieves Escape

Three hold-up men, two civilians and
third, said to have been in soldiers
uniform, yesterday held up and robbed
a fifteen-year-o bow employed at the
Chalmers Service Station, Amsterdam
Avenue and 10th Street, of the weekly
payroll, amounting to more than $500.
The robbery occurred just before noon,
a short distance from the service sta
ton, and was witnessed by several per-
sons passing close at hand None Of
fered to interfere. however. and the
highwaymen made their escape through
crowded Amsterdam Avenue in a taxi
cab which had followed them slowly
along the street
The boy had been sent to the bank
by H. Stewart, manager of the station,
and was returning with the money in
small satchel. 1t was all in bills of
small denomination.
A short distance east of Amsterdam
the story told the police by the boy,
soldier stepped in front of him and de-
manded that he hand over the satchel
containing the money. At the same
time a man whom he described as be-
ing young and we'll dressed, came up
close in back of him and said in low
voice: "Gve it to that soldier or I'll
shoot you"
The youngster who. the police say,
is of exemplary character and is
vouched for by his employers, did as
he was told. No sooner had the soldier
obtained possession of the money than
he and the man in citizens dress
jumped into the taxicab and were
whirled away.
AS soon as the cab disappeared
around a corner the boy started on a
run for the service station. The police
were Immediately notified and several
patrolmen and detectives were sent
from the Yves; 177th Street station.
No trace of the taxicab or men could

Standardized Clothes
Proposed in Holland
Government Also to Make
Non-Waste Cigars to
Sell at Five Cents

Especial Correspondence of The Tribune)
THE HAGUE, July Standardized
food is becoming the rule in Holland
and standardized clothing may DE next.
The scarcity of meat has called into
being the standard sausage, a mixture
of beef and veal, produced under gov
eminent control and sold at the fixed
price of O.22 per lb.
The shortage Of leather is respon-
s1ble for the introduction of standard
shoes in three grades and prices; and
standard sack suits in six varieties of
sober tlnts are promised for the near
future.
Standardization in women's clothes
is urged in some quarters, but few
venturesome spirits hazard any con-
crete suggestions on this thorny prob
lem.
The latest is the standard cigar.
Tobacco prices are soaring and cigars
now cost twice or three times as much
as they did year ago. The govern
ment article will be made of the re-
naming stocks of Java tobacco in the
country, and provided with a wooden
mouthplece, enabling the smoker to
finish the weed to the bitter end.
which is expected to result in a saving
of Is per cent. This cigar will retail
at Dutch cents and pckers up of
cigars stubs will have to look for an
other trade
