Cloth From Bark of IRE.

The famous "tapa" cloth of Poly
nesia is made from the inner bark of
the paper mulberry. When of the fin
est quality it is bleached to snowy
whiteness and fine as muslin. In frop-
ical Africa the inner bark of a Iegu-
minous tree is utilized in the same
way. Indeed, it is surprising to learn
how widely tree barks are employed as
material for clothing the world over.
And in the West Indies grows the
"lace-bark tree" which yields deli
cate tissue so like lace that many arti-
Giles of feminine adornment are made
from it.

rain was pouring outside and the
girl across the hall let tantalizing
odors escape her doorway. Suddenly
he determined to ask her for cream to
go with his coffee.
AS he went swinging through his
doorway he almost collided with
Lydia, who stood just outside blush
ingly offering him a tray containing a
generous share of her good dinner.
Bread cast upon the waters" she
said smilingly, "and the cranberries
you cast back into the bag have re-
turned to you. I just couldn't bear
not to share my Thanksgiving dinner
with some One;" there was tremu-
lous catch in her voice. "And you
seemed TO be as alone as 1; will you
take thisl" timidly.
You are unspeakably kind" said
the young man, as he took the tray.
"And d wonderful cook besides" InhaI.

was coming over to ask you for some
cream on the chance that you'd be
neighborly, but I didn't dream of such
a neighborliness as this"
. Lydia caught the yearning glance
in his eyes as he looked through her
open doorway at the daintily set table,
and as she returned to that table there
were tears of gratitude in her own
eyes at the thought of having at least
shared some of her Thanksgiving with
another.
AS for the young man across the
hail. he did some hard thinking as he
ate his lonely dinner The drift of his
thinking was disoernible afterward in
his muttered remarks as be stood with
his hands in his pockets and stared out
through the rain-rippled window at the
reflection Of the lights in the shiny wet
street below.
"The way to a mans heart may be
through his stomach" he said. I'm
not so sure Of that; but the way to
cure a taste for lone living is to try
il when you have a neighbor as charm
ing as mine. I'm thankful 1 tried it,
but I'm quite convinced of its folly.
And now to convince my neighbour
And subsequently he succeeded In
convincing her.

Wins Divorce on Story
Of His Stepdaughter
Girl Testifies to Friendship of
Mother for Real Estate
Operator

Largely upon the testimony of a
daughter by her first marriage, Mrs.
Mabel Wilbur Windsor Schmutz will
lose her second husband, DR.. Louis r.
Schmutz, of AZ West Forty-second
Street. The daughter, Aline Windsor,
nineteen years old, pupil at Wadleigh
High School, furnished her stepfather,
DR.. Schmutz, with information upon
which he brought suit for divorce, and
after listening to the story she told
yesterday in the Supreme Court, Jus
tice Ford said he would grant a decree
for the husband.
Mrs. Schnutz restrained herself with
apparent difficulty while her daughter
told of her mothers friendship for J
Arthur Belden, real estate operator
Miss Windsor appeared unaffected
The young woman told of seeing Mrs
Schmutz in kimono and Mr.. Belder
in pajamas at the Schmutz home. Also
the daughter heard the real estate mar
address her mother as dear"
'Do you want to see your stepfathel
win the divorce from your mother?'
Miss Windsor was asked.
81 don't know" replied the witness
81 imagine they both want a divorce
I think the doctor is right and | wan
him to win" :"

DIR. Day Wants Meat
Surplus Kept at Home
Commissioner Of Markets, i,
Letter to Baker, Protests
against Plan Of Packers

Protest against the plan Of meat
packers of America to ship to Euro
pean countries a Surplus" of 15O,-
O0O,OOO pounds of meat was made yester-
day by the Commissioner of Markets.
Jonathan c. Day, in a letter to Secre-
tary Baker. Commissioner Day said:
THE housekeepers of New York are
greatly concerned over the announce
ment that the packing industry has
requested you to dispose of 100000
pounds of meat products through the
American Relief Administration and the
Allied Liquidation Committee, or is
some other way to arrange for the
export of it,
81 am urged to inquire whether the sale
OF this meat in our own country would
not appreciably lower the price of liv-
ing to many groups of people, and
whether such sale is not entirely feas-
lble: Our own people are suffering
hardshlps as a result Of the war, and
are keen on any plan which would
reduce the cost of living, particularly
foodstuffs. If the meat packers are the
only ones who would be discommoded
by the sale of their wholesome and
formerly cheap fod products, it would
seem to us Of New York that some spec
ial effort ought to be made to make all
or large portion at any rate, available
to the consuming public
"The City of New York stands ready
to cooperate in any way through the
city departm and the retailers OF
the city for the distribution, for imme-
diate use, of any amount of this food
stuff that is available"

Reign of Terror in Sixth
Assembly District, and
PoliceAre Kept Busy Try.
ing to Control Situation
Four Bakers Surrender
Head of Consumers League
Says There Will Be More
Real Action Next Week

"Keep your bread and give me back
my money. l don't want to- be killed."
With a nervous jerk the shawl-clad
woman threw down her bundle of
bread on the counter, while the baker
went to his register and, with a re-
signed air, gave back her money. She
had fallen into crowd of angry, ges-
tculating women at the doorway, who
forced her back into the shop and who
later trailed her all the way home,
abusing her for daring to buy from
one of the renegade" bakers.
There is a veritable reign of terror
in the 9th Assembly District, on the
lower East Side, where the Socialist
Consumers League is active against
the baker and his patrons. Mrs. Rose
Elias, organizer of the league, prom
ises more action next week So far she
has only been lining up her forces, she
said. Along with Mrs. S. Weingart.
her first lieutenant, and some mascu-
line speakers, she has been holding
street corner meetings and explaining
TO the Jewish women what they must
demand from their bakers.
The league issued its ultimatum YES
terday. Every baker in the 9Th AS
sembly district must display sign
promising to sell light bread at 8 cents
a pound, rye bread at 7 cents. black
bread at 6 cents and rolls at IS cents
a dozen.
"The trouble with the bakers,o SAYS
Mrs. Elias, "is that they have been
charging any price they liked. In some
OF the stores bread is II cents, in
some 1T is 10 cents, and in others it is
. cents. What we want is uniformity
and a guarantee that they will stick
to the prices we stipulate: On Riving-
should we be held up like this? What
are we going to do about feeding our
children? The solution of the prob
lem is-bake our own bread, and we're
doing it."
Several times yesterday calls were
sent for police reserves to keep order
New-York tribune., 1919-05-16

around Fifth, Sixth and Seventh
streets. The street orators were said
to be using violent language, but when
the police reached the scene every one
was talking SO hard and so fast that it
was impossible to determine whether
their language was vitriolic or harm
less babble.
Socialist signboards were brandished
and although the police had given them
warning on the previous day the Amer
lean flag was nowhere to be seen.
1mpromptu Indignation meetings
were held. Small groups of women
were disbanded by the police as quickly
as they got together. The crowds
fcult to handle. A solid Gordon of
women held guard and interferred
with the comings and goings of pros
pective buyers. Defiance was clearly
stamped on the face Of one baker. An
assumed indifference, too. But behind
lay an elusive hint of fear.
"Im rot afraid of them," he said.
II don't care what they do. You don't
catch me bringing down the price CT
my bread. 1t costs me 51a cents for
labor alone to produce pound OF
bread. Add flour and rent and fuel
and everything else to that. Then tell
me whether l can sell any cheaper or
not. 1t can't be DONE"
Four bakers have capitulated. On
Ninth and Tenth Streets they have
waved the white flag of peace. One
of the bakers who climbed down con-
fessed that he was afraid to go out
in the street, lest he be mobbed by
others of his trade for lowering the
price of bread to cents. The bakers
are to hold a mass meeting Saturday
night to decide what is to be done.
Hundreds of plump, crusty loaves lie
on the shelves of the bakeries in the
district. Yesterdays and to-day's sup
plies repose harmoniously side by side
in varying degrees of staleness Less
and less bread is being made in the
bake shop and more and more in the
| homes.
The little Jewish children are get
ting all the fun out of the strike. They
join the hooting mobs around the bak-
ers' shops and laugh at the bold peo.
pie who dare to enter and come out
with bundles. Some are buying breac
and having it sent home. To be seer
carrying loaf in this section of the
| city is to invite trouble

Root Urges Leisurely and
Thoughtful Programme
in Building Monuments;
Artists Support the Plan

Speakers at the tenth annual con-
vention of the American Federation of
Arts yesterday at the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art advocated the leisurely
and thoughtful erection of war memo
rials. Elihu Root said danger lurked
in haste even in the making of parks,
highways and bridges as memorials.
"Unless the art of America" said
Mr.. Root, Expresses in memorials
that spirit which wrested America from
her materialism and sent young men
of America to their deaths on the fields
of France and Flanders we have failed
and the ages to come will not know
the real soul and heart of the nation.
"When all men, women and children
have all they want, all the clothes
they need, there will be yet something
more needed, and that is a realization
and an appreciation Of art. 1t is
through the realization of art that
America will hand down for genera
tions to come the method and spirit
that spurred America to war"
Charles Moore, chairman of the Cen
eral Committee on War Memorials,
declared that there was TOO much
catnoufage and not enough real art
in the city's war decorations. AS an
example he mentioned the Victory
Arch.
Edwin H. Blashfeld, past-president
of the National Institute of Arts and
Letters, spoke on the relation between
