GIRLS MUST WEAR
SIMPLE DRESSES IN
D. c. GRADUATION
Queen Mode of Silks and Satins
Is Absolutely Taboo,
Say Officials.

High school graduates must wear
simple dresses at commencement ex-
ercises on June 22-23, the four Wash
ington high schools have agreed.
The queen dress" OF silks and satin
is absolutely taboo. That is con-
sidered a relic OF bygone days
Although the Board of Education
and Superintendent OF Schools have
made no request for restrictions on
the commencement frocks. the high
school authorities have taken indi-
vidual action.
They have stipulated that the
dresses shall be white. OF an in
expensive material. and of simple de-
sign. No formal order or rule has
been issued in regard to the matter,
that being considered unnecessary
but the teacher in charge of com
mencement exercises has instructed
the girls to carry out the spirit of
the always standing order OF the four
schools that the commencement dress
be simple,
Since the question OF simple frocks
for commencement exercises has been
agitated in the public schools for
the past ten years or so, the school
authorities say they have obtained
the greatest cooperation from the
to the beginning OF the World war
Then pleas for economy were taken
seriously.
The graduates of Mckinley Manual
Training School (Tech) will. make
their own commencement dresses al
home. Because domestic science, In
cluding sewing. is part of the course
at that institution the girls have al
ways been instructed to make their
own graduating dress.
The commencement dress to be
worn by most of the graduates will
be OF organdie or wolfe and will cost
about $3.50.

They immediately got busy. As a
result. some orders were put In the
hands of Lieut.. Nina C. Van Wrinkle,
chief of the policewomen.
These orders change the minimum
age limit for copettes from twenty

DEATH URGED AS CAUSE
FOR NEW "NICkY" TRIAL

The death OF the late Justice Ash
ley M. Gould. of the District Supreme
Court. is sufficient ground for new
trial for Jules "Nicky" Arnstein and
his co-defendants In the s5,000.ooO
bond conspiracy, Attorney T. Morris
wampler contended today before Jus
tice Siddons in Criminal Court No. /.
wampler set forth that Arnstein
and his associates were convicted In
court presided over by Justice Gould.
Sentence was postponed. In the mean
time Justice Gould died 1t was con-
tended today that the present court
is not sufficiently familiar with tho
case to impose sentence.
A decision on the petition for new
trial for Arnstein will probably be
made late today by Justice Siddons.
