415-12 FREDERICK LOESER Inc. CUT FLOWERS AND FLORAL DESIGNS. DEBATE PRICES, PROMPT We Are All to Dress Alike; Wear Same Kind of Shoes Police descriptions of the clothing of missing or persons will be of little value in the future, for we are all to he dressed more or less alike in the same texture, styles and colors, if the Government has its way. Colors in leather footwear will be reduced from a round dozen to three or four that really "go." Shoe retailers will carry smaller stocks and fewe styles, and traveling salesmen will carry fewer samples as a result of the war. This was the opinion of local shoe.

manufacturers today, who were preparing for the convention of the National Shoe Manufacturers here January 14-15. The National Retailers Association, which will meet in Chicago January 9, is also working along the line of war economy in footwear. Committees of the War Industries Board in Washington are also preparing a plan of restriction and standardization in the manufacture of shoes, as well as of many other articles of wearing apparel. The result is expected to be a a saving of labor, leather, cloth, dyes and chemicals. thing the local manufacturers believe, however, which is at radical variance with the views that have leaked out of the War Industries Board.

The manufacturers believe that high shoes for women will continue to be made for the simple reason that "certain parts of women must be clothed, and if they won't wear longer skirts he they must wear long shoes." J. R. Garside, former president of the Greater New York Shoe Manufacturers Association and now a member of several of the committees working on the question of shoe economy, said that the time had not arrived for radical curtailments in the manufacture of shoes. "England has had to standardize shoes somewhat, because the embargo against to importation of leather has down the leather supply, and sho must make the leather she has 20 around. But we have a large part of the supply England used to get, in addition to our own." he said.

Reports from Washington indicate that the Government has some surprises in store for the shoe men, as well as for shirtmakers, neckwear manufacturers and the makers of TO FILE CAMPAIGN COSTS (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, January 2-The first election legislation to appear as the result of the fuss in New York City over the size of the Mitchel campaign expenses, was introduced at the opening session of the lower House today by Assemblyman Meyer of Manhattan. It consisted of two bills. One would require the filing by all political campaign committees of statements of campaign receipts and expeditures at least five days and not more than ten days before the primaries and a similar statement prior to election day. The other bill would require all candidates to make similar statements. TWO E.

D. MEN SLASHED Two Eastern District men were victims of thugs early today and were badly slashed. Nathan Langer, 27, of 537 Grand street, was at Union and Metropolitan avenues when a man darted out of a hall and cut him over the left eye and neck. The assailant disappeared. Policeman Wagner of the Bedford avenue station searched the neighborhood but got no clues.

Langer was taken to the E. D. Hogpital. Isaac M. Humer, 50, of 864 Driggs avenue, told Lieutenant Fleming, at I the Bedford avenue station, that while he was at Grand and avenue an unidentified man attacked him, cut his head read face with a razor and disappeared.

Humer had his wounds dressed by an ambulance surgeon. CHATTANOOGA CITY SHAKEN--METEOR? Mysterious Explosion Makes Buildings Tremble Violently. Chattanooga, January 2-A terrific explosion shook this city early today. The sky was lighted for several seconds and was followed by loud reports, which shook buildings. The all.

thorities are investigating. Although the police and newspaper men telephoned to all parts of the city to determine the source of the explosion it had not been determined three hours after it what blown up. The authorities were mystified. No definite explanation of the explo. sion has been found.

A theory that it was a meteor passing through the clouds and dropping somewhere south of the city was advanced, but no traces have been discovered. Several people about 6 o'clock this morning saw a bright light in the skies as if a large meteor was passing. This was followed by a loud explosion, which was heard at various points a radius of 25 or 30 miles around Chattanooga. No one could be found who offered any explanation other than that it might have been a meteor. IN MEMORIAM CANNON--In sad and loving memory of REUBEN EDWARD CANNON.

South Mortuary Chapel 695 Third Av. 7 FT.HAMILTON HOMES DESTROYED BY FIRE fancy cloth kinds. The reason for drastic changes of this character Is that it is more important to save labor than leather, and that chemicals used in coloring both leather and fabrics are needed in the manufacture of The intimation has been made that low -cut shoes for summer and shoes coming just above the ankle for winter will be the standard for both men and women, and that black, gray and indigo blue will be the only colors in fabrics for men, Black, and two shades of tan that can be made with chemicals not needed in the war, are said to the the limit in leather. The thousands of weaves, patterns, shades and textures now made for shirtings and neckwear may be eliminated altogether and the number limited to a half-dozen-easily made with a small amount of labor and time. The committee working on the war economies for clothes has even considered limiting silk manufacturers to A single grade in standard colors to 1 be sold at 60 cents a yard: An enormous saving in material is expected to result from this practice.

It there is only one kind of silk to make dresses from, there will be no' reason in the world for an extrava'gant woman to have three or four times as many dresses as she needs-most of them idle all the time. And if she gets along with only what she needs there will be enough silk left to enable the poor woman to get what she ought to have at a reasonable price. The same theory applies to men. The cravat faddist, with a whole chiffonier drawer full of foolish neckwear that he does not wear, will have no reason to try to corner the silk market if there are only two or three varieties of cravats to be had. The supply of silk will be larger in proportion to demand and the price will gO down, to the advantage of everybody.

If there are only a. few styles of shoes there will be no reason for movie queens and their imitators to have a different pair of shoes for every hour of the week. They can wear the same shoes for dancing, golf, work, theaters and hiking, and' be happy in all of them. Now if the Government can only standardize the breakfast foods and the varieties of fresh eggs, what a world it will be. HENNIG MUST STAY IN JAIL TILL TRIAL Bail Refused--Trial Set for Jan.

16-Too Soon, Says Lawyer. Federal Judge Thomas Ives Chatfield today refused bail in the case of. Paul Hennig, foreman of the Bliss Company's gyroscpoe department, indicted for treason, after Federal District Attorney Melville J. France, calling the attention of the court to Section 1016 of the Compiled Federal Statutes, which gives the Court discretionary power in cases of treason, declared that the Prosecutor's office opposed the granting of bail. Death may be penalty.

Judge Chatfeld, on the request of Mr. France, set down the case for trial January 16. Lawyer Daniel Nugent, counsel to the accused foreman, declared the time too short to prepare his case. Judge Chatfield then agreed to call the case January 14, when counsel and prosecutor will report as to whether it may go to trial on the date named. Hennig, dressed in a dark suit and wearing the emblem of the Loyal Order of Moose in the lapel of his coat, took great care that no part of the proceedings escaped him.

He leaned far over, beyond the line of vision intercepted by the form of his counsel, and watched with eager interest while Prosecutor France declared, with a tightening of the muscles about his mouth, that "I shall oppose the fixing of bail in this case." Hennig's dark brown eyes, peering shittingly about the courtroom, accentuated the vulture-like look to his cadaverous features. GAS FUMES KILL LAWYER Francis S. Root, 52 years old, a lew. yer, offices in Manhattan, living at East Thirteenth street, was with. found dead in his residence yesterday by Patrolman McCarty of the Sheepshead Bay Station.

The gas connection of a small heater was found accidentally disconnected. Frank Hignel, who lives in the house adjoining the home of Mr. Root, at 1765 East Thirteenth street, saw him sitting at the window on Monday afternoon. Yesterday he noticed that he was still sitting in the same place and in the same position. He watched him, and not seeing him move, notifled the police.

Patrolman McCarty broke in the door and found him dead. His wife and family are up -State.

It's warmer! "All the meat when it comes is frozen," said a Halsey street butcher today, "and a man can't hardly cut it. All I can do is to put it in the Icebox a8 80011 can.

It isn't 90 cold in there. The thick walls keep the cold out." SHELL PLANT BURNS Harrisburg, January 2-Fire of mysterious origin, starting in paint shop, damaged the plant of the Harrisburg Pipe Pipe-bending Company early today, to the extent of several hundred thousand dollars. The plant is engaged largely in the manufacture of four-inch sheils for the United States Government and hundreds of these in the last stages of completion were destroyed. Two colored workmen were badly burned, but Ill recover. DRY DOCK COMPANIES STOP OUTSIDE WORK OWING TO COLD SPELL Practically all work has been suspended by the Robins Dry Dock Company owing to the extremely cold weather and the Morse Dry Dock Company has been forced to suspend all outside work.

Rumors that outside work in the Navy Yard had been suspended, thus holding up important repairs on Government vessels, could not be verified. "We were forced to suspend nearly all of our work Sunday and today," said an official of the Robins Company, "because the men would not report for work. They could not stand it, workoutdoors on the waterfront on those cold steel plates. We will work tomorrow if the weather moderates enough for the men to show up." The coal situation at the Robins plant was said not to acute, although the officials were not optimistic about future supplies. At the Morse works it was said that all sr shop work and work in the interior of ships was proceeding, but all outide work had suspended.

WOMAN AGENT ON "L' OVERCOME BY GAS Fumes From Stove Cause Miss Yackel to Lose Consciousness. When George Berg of 142 Moffatt street, entered the Lorimer street station of the Broadway today, he gasped as a volume carls, gas from the waiting room. Berg walked to the ticket booth and failed to He Miss Bertha Yackel, the agent. tapped the brass turnstile with his nickel and still Miss Yackel, who lives at 8 Elm street, Queens, failed to appear. Berg found the air in the waiting room suffocating, and then made the discovery that Miss Yackel was unconscious on the floor of her booth.

She had succumbed to the coal gas. Berg ran to the street and notified Policeman Ohle of the Clymer street station. Ohle sent a call for an ambulance to the Williamsburg Hospital. Dr. Agris tried to revive Miss Yackel and, failing, rushed her to the hospital, where she is in a serious condition.

Ohle took charge of the ticket booth, receiving the fares of passengers until an inspector relieved him. The coal gas was escaping from the stove in the waiting room. It is believed that the station porter failed to open one of the dampers. How long the woman lay unconscious is not known. She probably succumbed as she was seated in the booth and fell to the floor.
