MERCHANTS ATTACK
BILL BOARD LITTER
Dangerous to Citys Health

The anti-litter bureau Of the Mer-
chants Association. which Is making an
investigation into bill board conditions
throughout Manhattan, has taken
series of photographs showing that bill
board operators permit the scattering of
refuse in front Of and particularly back
Of bill boards. Conditions are thus Gre

The city ordinance states specifically
in chapter %. article 1e, section 2l2.
paragraph 2. which has to do with signs
and show bills:

NEXT SUNDAY IS MOTHERS DAY
Department of Labor Appears to
Have Confused Dates.

Those who combined the observance Of
Employment Sunday yesterday and
the annual Mothers Day did so be-
cause OF erroneous mind workings in and
around the Federal Department OF La
Dor. SO Miss Anna Jarvis, founder and
president OF the Mothers Day Interna-
tional Association. said yesterday
Mothers Day. according to the authori-
tative word OF Miss Jarvis officially will
be observed next Sunday.
The Department OF Labor said Miss
Jarvis, somehow in the absence OF a
previous public statement from her asso-
citation had got the notion that Mothers
Day had been set for yesterday. The
Department therefore made the error OF
calling for Joint celebration of the
Mothers Day and Employment Day
ceremonies. Miss Jarvis hopes that on
next Sunday even those who celebrated
for the mothers yesterday will do # all

teller OF the War Camp Community Ser
vice Unit No. IL. at the southeast cor
nsr OF Lexington avenue and 127th
street, went A. W. o. L. during the early
hours yesterday morning. and simulta-
neously the night clerk found that some
$4,000 in cash. German marks, watches,
chains. passes, two franc piece rings
and other knickknacks OF some flfty-four
soldiers. sailors and marines also had
disappeared. It was Just ten minutes
past when the clerk left his desk. which
is surrounded by a cage, on the second
floor Of the six story building to escort
a soldier to his bed In one OF the upper
dormitories. CHANGING about the assem-
bly, room he saw only one man. he told
the police, and that was Mac" who APP
peared to be busily engaged cleaning up.
Ten minutes later he came down stairs
and discovered that drawer Of the desk
in which large envelopes are placed con-
tanning all the worldly possessions OF the
uniformed boarders had been rihed.
Some of the envelopes, still untouched,
were on the floor. In another drawer
there was several hundred dollars In
cash and change which the robber had
failed TO take.
Detectives learned that the porter had
been working for the club only a few
days. He had lavish supply of army
stories which went across the Pacific to
the Philippine Islands. Vera Cruz and
the Mexican border. The police further
learned that the porter was at one time
r top sergeant at Fort Slocum, n. Y,
and that he had done recruiting duty in
Brooklyn.
The soldiers and sailors became indig-

day morning and learned that their
money and other valuables had been
gone. A number Of the officers from the
w. C. c. S. headquarters arrived and as
sured the ffty-four men who had been
victims Of the robbery that they would
make good every cent. One sailor said
he had $3.50 In his envelope, and q
