Richards Formal
Opening Yesterday

Richards Exclusive Shop made it's
formal opening in the new Profess
sional block at 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Shortly after the hour
scheduled for opening the store was
packed with visitors, anXiously await
Ing their turn to be shown the spring
styles of women's garments. Several
OF the new models in hats were shown
and carefully inspected by the gath
ering. 1t was called to the attention
of the visitors that the black poke
trimmed with peacock would be one
of the leading features worn this
spring by the aristocratic faction
Almond green is a color which is also
attracting great attention and caus-
ing a great demand among the fore
most milliners Of the eastern states
this season., Black horsehair with
short maline wells and embroidered
taffetas trimmed with peacock are
also decreed by Dame Fashion.
Among the trimmings which will
be worn a lot is colored wooden
beads. and in some instances yards
Of ribbon will be used. In the garl
ment department the display plainly
denotes the exclusiveness of the shop
in keeping entirely away from dupli-
cation, among the scores of suits,
coats and frocks are many imported
models. The new store is IS feet
wide and 80 feet long, carefully ar
ranged with the latest appointments.
The system of lighting is known as
the daylight system, and the store
itself Is worthy Of prestige and pride
to any city.

the equal of any site in the country
is to remove the buildings at the
south west side Of the field and the
wires and poles at the west end of
the field and then make the, field
more nearly level by grading.
1t is estimated that $1,000 will put
the field in condition to have it rec
ognized by the Federal air mail SER
vice and as an army aviation field.
With that thought in mind resolve
will be introduced in the Legislature
asking for that amount and opera
tons will be commenced as soon as
the ground will permit.
If Augusta becomes an official
landing place for the air mail SER
vice it will be link in the chain
of landing sites that now extend from
New York to California.
If the project goes through those
interested will no doubt suggest that
the field will be named after S. Tracy
Webster of this city who Joined the
air service in the World War and
who lost his life while flying in
France.

Scores Curtailment
Production by Unions

Rome, March 21-(By A. P.)-
The industry section of the Inter-
national Chamber of Commerce this
afternoon, after a warm debate.
adopted a resolution introduced by
the American delegates. directed
against the efforts of labor unions to
curtail production and reduce the
hours of labor, and designed to pro-
mote the use by the various coun-
tries of the available manpower IN
Seductive pursuits. instead OF
standing armies.
The resolution set forth that 1t
was increasingly clear that national
wealth depended for it's increase on
expanding the production of each
worker, and urged to that end. en-
invention calculated to aid the econ
omic aspect of such production: eli
mination of artificial restrictions
prescribing the amount of work to
be done by each worker, or the out
put; stimulation of individual effort
by personal remuneration: adoption
of governmental policies which give
the incentive of security in the en-
joyment of earnings and of except
ional ability and effort; recognition
of the advantages of private owner
ship, as contrasted with state owner
ship; the taking of immediate steps
in order that men engaged in nom
productive pursuits may be diverted
at the earliest possible moment to
productive labor.
The group of the International
Chamber of Commerce charged with
the study of industrial questions
during the present congress today
unanimously endorsed a resolution
in favor of choosing fixed date for
Easter.

Lieut.. Col. Hunsaker of Bangor at the
office of the Adjutant Generals Of
flee to discuss the project.
Col. Hunsaker read an interesting
letter from r. c. Moffat, LIST. Lieut..
Air Service with headquarters with
the First Corps Area at Boston in
which he said in part:
II can promise you that this Office
is particularly interested in the pos
sbilitv of establishing, a ocular
landing field at Augusta. 1t would
be a distinct military asset simply
as a landing field at Augusta. 1t
would be a distinct military asset
simply as a landing field in that
locality and insofar as 1t e. -clops
local aeronautics and commercial
aeronautics generally. 1t would be a
further asset because one of the rec
ognized needs of this country is a
well developed aeronautical industry.
l wish to assure you also of my per-
sonal interest in the project and
hope that as soon as the condition of
the ground makes it possible l will
fly to Augusta to confer with Mr..
Gannett personally on this subject"
Harry M. Jones who is more fanil
lar than any other aviator with the
State field as a landing ground con-
siders the Augusta grounds superior
to any field on which he has ever
landed. He has landed on the Au-
gusta field more than one hundred
times and has also landed on every
important field east of Detroit.
The land is naturally high and for
that reason always dry. 1t is situa-
ted close to transportation facilities,
both passenger and. freight and has
