CLUB MEMBERS RESCUE GIRLS.
Greenwich Village Workers Are
Trapped on Fire Escape.

Members of the Moon Social Club were
strnging flags in Washington street yes
terday for a "block party in honor of
residents who are with the colors, when
they saw smoke streaming from the
fourth floor OF the Ave story brick build
ing at 430 West Fourteenth street. which
extends along Washington street and In
cludes 427 and 429 West Thirteenth
street. The blaze gained Roadway rap
idly and, before the firemen arrived
twenty workers employed by the Far
ziatss New Shirt Laundry, were driven
to the street.
Screams drew attention TO one OF the
fire escapes on the Washington street
side and three hysterical girls. employed
in the laundry, were seen clutching the
railing. The young men of the Moon
club commandeered an automobile. which
they drove upon the sidewalk under the
fire escape. Then. climbing on the top
OF the motor car. they caught the fright

Poultry 10 he Covered Soon.

Margins OF profit have not been estab-
lished on all the various cuts OF beef.
but only upon those that make up the
bulk of the trade OF the retail butcher
and the bulk OF the buying OF the
ordinary customer the board an
nounced. "In the selection of the cuts.
an endeavor has been made to have as
few cuts as possible which requXe ex-
tensive trimming.
IAN illustration of tho manner In
which a butcher who purchases kinds
and ribs may figure his selling prices
is as follows:
IF a butcher purchases both kinds
and ribs and straight cattle, such kinds
and ribs at a price OF 20 cents a pound,
the kinds and ribs will have been sep
arated from cattle costing approx
mately 26 cents. The basic price for
him to use in deciding his selling price
should be 26 cents that the strkight cat
tie would cost to this he should add the
margins of profit as stated above.
For butchers purchasing hind sad
dies, legs of lamb. chucks. &c, the same
method of procedure in determining
their basic cost shall apply as In beef. .
Margins are to be established for veal,
poultry and meat sundries In the near
future.
since the Federal FOOD Board began
penalizing retailers for exceeding the
boards margins of profits on sales OF
lamb. consumers have noticed that
butchers have not trimmed cuts of meat
as heretofore. Many customers have
complained: They used to trim the
meat; now they trim the customer u
The explanation OF the presence of bone
and fat on the meat that Is ordered lies
In the fact that the Federal Food
Boards schedules called for "untrimmed
cuts" and the butchers say they are
trying TO please the board.
Retail grocers have complained thai
they have found unpatriotic people who
apparently. are boarding sugar in thelI
homes. Each grocer IL limited as &c
the quantity of sugar he can obtain, and
his allotment, the Food Board says, IL
sufficient to take care Of his regular
customers.
The board has suggested to the re-
tailers that they ask their customers &c
sign the regular purchases OF sugar and
at the same time state whether or mo-
the aggregate supply in the home ex
ceeds the proportion OF two pound,
monthly allowed for each member Of
| the family.

MARGINS OF PROFIT
UPON MEATS FIXED
Federal Food Board Announces
Scale to Which Butchers
Must Conform.
WILL END PROFITEERING
Similar Action on Poultry,
Veal and Sundries to Be
Taken Soon.
WILL END PROFITEERING

A hard and fast rule for the fixing of
the retail prices Of beef. lamb and pork
has been made by the Federal Food
Board. Any butcher who fails to live
up to the rule runs the risk of being
permitted to contribute to the Red Cross
and put up n sign in his shop telling all
who can read that he has profiteered.
II he doesn't wish to announce his Of
fences to the world, according to the &C.
cepted formula, he can shut UP shop for
period to be determined by the board.
The board made public yesterday a
schedule of margins over the cost price
OF straight carcass allowed butchers on
these three kinds of meats. The margins
apply to "untrimmed cuts sold on a
cash and carry basis: that is. the GUS
toner will have to take the steak or
roast as It comes. pay cash for It and
carry 1t home. II he ''hangs up" the
butcher and asks him to send the order
to the house the dealer is permitted to
and delivery and the Food Administra-
ton will back him UP on tho transaction.
Easy to Figure Retail Price.
1t will be an easy matter for any Gus
toner to keep tab on the butchers charges
by finding out in his daily newspaper
the wholesale price a pound for carcasses
of beef, lamb and pork and adding to the
price the margin a pound over cost al
lowed by the board. No butcher, the
Food Administrators believe, will be able
to fool any customer who keeps his or
her eyes open and can do small sums in
addition.
The schedule OF margins applies to all
butchers in Greater New York. It was
worked out with care by the Gentle Re-
tail Butchers Price Interpreting Com
mittee OF the Federal Food Board and
approved by the Board after all hands
had declared the margins OF profits on
beef. lamb and pork were fair

seemed yesterday. be hung on American
Christmas trees or arouse the interest
of American youngsters from glittering

One of the largest wholesale toy
houses in the country has refused to &C
cept its share of the consignment and
it is expected other firms will take
similar action. The toys were bought
and paid for prior to March, 1915. and
were shipped from Germany to Hol-
land. where they have since lain. No
instructions were sent from here for
them to be brought to the United States
and their receipt caused surprisei on the
part of the wholesalers.

Women Asked Not to Buy.

A call to the women of America to de-
cline to purchase any OF the newly ar
rived German toys was issued yesterday
by Miss Elisabeth Marbury, president Of
the woman's National Committee of the
American Defence Society. The appeal
will be circulated through hundreds Of
branches Of the organization.
1.-The only way to recompense in any
degree the victims Of German brutality
for the horrors they have suffered, the
only protest against barbarism that will
avail anything for the human race. is
for the women of America to refuse to
buy goods made in Germany. whether so
marked or not" said Miss Marbury.

1--WE have refused TO accept the ship
ment which has come to US from Hol-
land without notice. though these goods
were bought and paid for prior to the
declaration OF war and are our prop
erty," said Walter Scott, vice-president
OF Butler Bros. a wholesale toy import
ing firm at 495 Broadway, yesterday.
I'VE will have no German made goods in
our stock. In the spring OF 1914. prior
to the declaration OF war, We made our
usual annual purchase Of toys and
china In Germany for our Ave houses.
paid for the goods as was our custom
and had them forwarded to Rotterdam.
Long ago we eliminated these goods
from our catalogue. charged them on
our books, accepted our loss and forgot
all about them. We were surprised at
the arrival of 100 cases which came
without instructions from us We have
therefore notified the Government
through the Custom House officials that
Butler Bros. will abandon the consisn-
ment and will not accept delivery OF its
own merchandise. We feel that Ger
many's willingness to permit these goods
10 come to use safely Is prompted by
desire to rehabilitate herself in this
market

Replaced by American Toys.

I'VE have encouraged American man.
ufecturers for the past several years to
manufacture goods to replace those for
merly imported from Germany. They
have succeeded so we'll that to-day
America does not need German made
goods and We will not encourage the
German propaganda designed to place
them back on the American market"
When the war started large quantity
Of German toys which had been paid
for by American importers was in Hol-
land awaiting shipment. In course or
time a fairly large proportion of them
arrived here, more than s2.30O,OOO
coming during the fiscal year ended June
30 1918. The normal imports before
the war amounted to something like
IS, 600, 900 ANNUALLY.
The toys which have Just arrived
came through on shipping permits issued
by Great Britain more than a year ago.
For a long time after the permits were
issued there were no available steam
ships on which they could be trans
ported. One importer said yesterday
that he expected some firms would ac-
cept the toys and store them until after
the war But in any event 1t is unlikely
that a single one of them will find its
way into the market at present
