Women's Gowns To
Be Cut at Both Ends

Not only will styles Of women's and
girls clothing for the coming spring and
summer include the further abbreviation
of garments at tho bottom but very
great cut also is to be made at the
other extremity-the neck and sleeves.
According to the opinion of members of
members of the National Wholesale Dry
Goods Association in convention at the
Hotel, the shortage in
production OF materials of all kinds dur
ing the coming year. due to labor troubles
and the slowing up of all factories. Will
make it necessary to show much, yes. a
great deal of milady's arms the coming
summer. In fact, there will be practically
no sleeves, there being placed in the arm
holes of garments only slight band ex-
tending two or three inches downward.
Likewise. the necls will be lower and
fashions which have prevailed in the way
of ''low necks" will be considered entirely
before the summer is over.
Low in front. low in the back. and all
the arm showing seems to be the watch
word, and in this way, it was said yester-
day. thousands OF yards of materials will
be saved
The ruling colors for women's dresses
will be bright red, blue and green.
The convention will last through to-
morrow. Addresses of Importance will be
today concerning labor and in
dustry.

Aldern1anic Board
Backs Governor on
Liquor Referendum
100000 Authorized for December
Salaries in Schools-New
Rules Reported.

Support OF Governor Smiths recommen-
dation that the ratification of the Eigh-
tsenth Amendment be rescinded and the
question submitted to the people by a ref
erendum, was voiced by the Board of
Aldermen meeting in regular session yes
terday. in adopting resolution offered by
Alderman William T. Collins.
The Aldermen also adopted a resolution
from the Board of Estimate authorizing
the Controller to issue $4,000 in special
revenue bonds to pay the December salar-
les of schol teachers. Controller Craig, ap-
pearing before the Aldermen. said the
talk that the money from the state school
fund had been placed in the general fund
for the reduction of taxation was wrong.
He said that the city every year appropri-
ated money to pay the salaries of the
school teachers for the ensuing year and
that when salary money was received from
the State it was refunded to the city.
THE Board of Education used this
money for purposes that it had no right
to USE" said Mr.. Craig. 1.-THE State school
fund cannot be used for any other purpose
than the paying of salaries. AS the city
appropriates this amount before the state
money is received. when 1t is received it is
simply paid back"
Robert Starr Allyn was elected an Alder
man from the Forty-sixth Aldemanic Dis
trict Brooklyn, in place OF William w.
Colne, deceased. The new Alderman is a
lawyer, with an office at No. Al Park
row. He is Republican, as was his pre-
decessor.
The Committee on Rules. of which Alder
man William p. Kenneally is chairman, re-
ported on the rules to govern the delibera-
tions of the Board this year and the
makeup of the various committees. The
Republican minority has a representa-
ton of three or four on every committee
and the Socialists one The only material
change made IN the rules was to cut tho
time for speaking on a resolution from ten
to five minutes, with only two minutes al
lowed to each Alderman in which to ex-
plain his vote on any resolution. There was
some objection to the cutting off of dis
cussion" by he Republicans and Socialists,
but the report of the committee was
adopted

URGES BUSINESS To
CULTIVATE FARMER
Lewis E. Pierson Addresses Meeting OF
Agricultural PublisherS-Lead-
ing Hotel Arrivals.

The farmer being the man who actually
produces that which goes 10 feed anc
clothe the nation II is necessary that a
campaign OF cooperation with him bC
started now. so that business OF every kino
may have a better understanding of his
methods OF carrying ou; his part of the re-
construction programme, Lewis L. Pier
son, first vice president of the Merchants
Association OF New York and chairman OF
the Board of Directors of the Irving Ma
tional Bank, said in speaking yesterday
afternoon before the, convention of the
Agricultural Publishers Association in the
Commodore Hotel.
That it was not only prudent but neces-
sary that a closer understanding be ar
rived at between big business and the
farmers, he said, was a certainty, and he
declared that the sooner business men
learn the business of the farmer and take
him into their confidence the more will in
dustry thrive in every line.
Though labor is perturbed, the farmer is
carrying on 100 per cent, he said, and is
an all important factor in economic condi-
tions. His steadying. sober influence is
needed. and never more than at the pres
ent time.
Mr.. Pierson said further
1T would seem that citizenship work
should appeal with particular force to the
farmers. Perhaps more nearly than any
other class of Americans they witness the
process of making real citizens out of
raw material. To them, the melting pot"
is something more than a figure of speech.
n very large portion of the work upon
which agricultural success must be built
is performed by men who are learning
the lesson of American citizenship.
How well and how quickly this lesson
can be learned under open skies and in
wide places is shown in splendid Ameri-
can farming centres scattered throughout
the land in which only a few years ago
were to be found scarcely any one who
could speak the English language. and
few who had any clear conception of the
purpose which brought them to this land.
Does the American farmer know that
logically he is the natural enemy of
strikes and disturbances of any kind
which tend to interfere with the normal
currents of business? Does he see that
if the wheels stop going around it is his
raw product which will suffer because
unable to reach the factory and the con-
sumer?
1T is his wheat and corn which will
clog freight terminals and side-tracks;
his fruit and potatoes which will rot in
cars and warehouses and on the docks
And does he realize Il. when these labor
disturbances threaten. the case is largely
up to him, and that in the restoration OF
things to normal again he has very
definite responsibility?
The convention will be in session three
days. and questions OF Importance regard
ing labor and agriculture will be consid-
cred. dinner was held at the Commo-
dore last night. at which Harry Dwight
Smith. president of the American Associ-
alton of Advertising Agencies, was toast

lean Scenic and Historic Preservation So
ciety in the American Museum Of Natural

pressed the opinion that the American
dead should remain in France.
This has been the attitude Of the society
since the question first arose, and in his
letter the Ambassador expresses gratifica-
uon that tho society's members appreciate
tho difficulties to be encountered In ex-
huming the American dead and bringing
the bodies back to this country. He also
called attention to the fact that the dead
or the Allies and Germany are all buried
In French soil, and cited the difficulty of
permitting the removal of the American

respect to the English and German dead.
The society reelected twelve trustees

FOR three years more. and one trustee 10
serve one year to fill vacancy. Mr.. John

cans are buried, said she found the graves
OF the American dead well cared for, and
that the French were beautfying the
cemeteries. Colonel Henry w. Sackett
