GOVERNMENT CONTROL
GENERAL IN HOLLAND

The Hague -(by mail )-Standard-
lied food is becoming the rule in Hol-
land and starnardized clothing may
be 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 0.22 per pound
The shortage Of leather Is respon-
sible for the Introduction OF standard
shoes in three grades and prices; and
STANDARD sack suits in, six. varieties
of sober tints are promised for the
near future.
Standardization in women's clothes is
urged in some quarters: but few VEN
turesome spirits hazard any concrete
suggestions on this thorny problem.
The latest is the standard cigar. To-
bacco 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 wooden

finish the weed to the bitter end.
which is expected to result in a saw
ing of 15 per cent. This cigar will
retail at Dutch cents and pickers up
of cigar stubs will have 70 look out
