CODE EXEMPTION
DENIED APPLICANT
"Cut, Make and Trim" Provision
Applies to Sears, Roebuck Co.
of Chicago.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
N. r. A. has denied an application
of Sears, Roebuck Co. of Chicago for
special exemption from the "cut. make
and trim" provision of the mems
clothing code.
This provision prohibits manufac-
turers from performing "cut, make
and trim operations on fabrics sup
piled by retail distributors. Sears,
Roebuck testified at public hearings
that an undue hardship was caused
by the requirement, since the COM
pany had employed that method of
production for many years.
N. r. A., in ruling on the apph-
cation. said in part:
's"The testimony clearly showed that
the hardship suffered by this COM
pany in this respect is not serious
enough to jeapardize their clothing
business. 1t is clear that If this ex-
emption should be granted, other dis
tributors of clothing would have a
right to demand similar exemptions.
IF many such exceptions were
granted to distributors, 1t is obvious
that the code provision itself would
be seriously impaired.
"Inasmuch as the hearing was con-
fined strictly to the question of this
particular exemption, the wisdom and
practicability of the code provision it.
self is not in question. The provision
has been approved and until an
amendment is offered 1t must be con-
sidered valid part of the code"

one of the prettiest and most
pretentious yachts to be seen
hereabouts.
It belongs to Mrs. Alice Mo-
ran, of New York and Palm
Beach, from whom it derives its

employ of Mrs. Moran for seven
years and who has directed &C.
tivities of all three of her boats,
Of which the Naroma is the new

Mrs. Moran, a young New York
society woman, thinks nothing
of sailing from New York to al
most any place under the sun.
She is planning a trip to the
Mediterranean and has visited
the West Indies, Florida and
several other places which are
within sailing distance.
The Naroma made the voyage
from New York to Washington
in SO hours and will shove off
soon for Newport News, Va,
where another stateroom will be
added. AS it is, there are one
single and three double state
rooms, an office, living room,
dining room, and wireless room.
Each stateroom is equipped with
a bath.
The boat, which is 1870 feet
long, is two and a half years

York's Columbia Yacht Club.
Accompanying the yacht is the
