C. Up; War Ruined Fields for Flax The linen closet promises to be al luxury during the coming two or three years, as, indeed, it has been for an equal time in the past. Those slippery little flax needs that retreated from the battlefields of Belgium when war began, will not return until those same battlefields are converted back to their peace time productiveness, which means that not for two years or more will any of the growers have a crop in sight. There was at least one great demand for linen while the world was fighting which has helped bring about the present scarcity. This was the tremendous amount of high grade material needed for airplane wings, hundreds of square yards for each machine, and it came just like alt other war demands- -at a time when practically no flax was being raised.

Linen prices are from 100 to 200 per cent. higher than in 1914. J. Dempsey, superintendent of the linen department for the Charles Broadway Rouss Company of Manhattan, wholesale dealers in fabrics, said: "The United States has practically no raw fax industry. Just as England imports raw cotton from us and returns it as finished merchandise, 80 do we import flax from England, manufacture it here, but instead of sending back linen goods, we find it impossible to supply our own demands.

"Flax is grown in Scotland, Ireland, Belgium and Russia, but its marketing depends almost entirely upon the British. Their government has guaranteed full support to the fax growers and linen manufacturers until July of this year, with possibilitios good FISHER HOME ROBBED; FAMILY AT THEATER Cartoonist Returns to Find Window Jimmied and $500 Worth of Belongings Gone. When a humorist gets tired of amusing other people and decides to get some amusement himself, at the theater, for instance, he must pay dearly for his absence from the post of duty. At least, that was the experience last night of Thornton Fisher, cartoonist on the staff of the Evening World, who returned with his wife from a theater party in hattan to find that his home at 2104 Albemarle terrace had been broken unto and robbed of $500 worth of jewels and clothing. Earlier in the evening, at about 6:30 o'clock, Mrs.

Fisher had left her home to join her husband in his search for entertainment. Whether the Fishers found what they wanted at the ater is unknown, but it is known that they did not find what they wanted when they returned home shortly after 1 o'clock this morning to find that some ironical burglar had broken in by using a "jimmy" on a front window, ransacked and robbed it and left the doors open. The police report gives the Fisher loss at $300.

WILL BOLSHEVISM COME WITH NATIONAL PROHIBITION? IS BOLSHEVISM ON THE WAY TO AMERICA? Its agents are already here. The Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce has just called a meeting to raise $75,000 to fight this damnable curse that is. surging across Europe.

It can't be fought with money. The only human 'forces that can stop it and keep America safe are toleration and intelligence. Petrograd is chaos. Berlin--recently one of the best governed cities in the world-is now a political mad-house. Intolerance and indifference to the wishes of the people have brought about these conditions.

The Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce only recognizes the danger. They don't know where or how to fight it. National Prohibition will compel a spy system similar to that of the overthrown Czar and the Kaiser. A business now regulated by license and in the hands of law-abiding citizens will be turned over to an army of law-defying bootleggers and owners of kitchen barrooms. The National Prohibition leaders admit this to be so, and are already organizing a spy bureau to aid the Government's Secret Service officials.

Bolshevism means confiscation of all property licensed immorality--the elevation of ignorance reduction of wages unstable laws. The Bolshevist has 110 respect for laws. He uses every restraining law as an argument against all law. National Prohibitionunfortunately the most drastic assault upon personal freedom ever contemplated under a republican form of government -will be the best excuse that can be offered to stir up strife among the people. If you will give it one moment's serious thought, you will realize this is so.

You don't have to be a drinking man to be against National Prohibition. Former President Taft--a total abstainer- a man of deep moral conviction and a serling American patriot, is irrevocably opposed to National Prohibition. We will mail you a copy of his full opinion -recently expressed--if you will send for it. We ask every citizen, whether a Prohibitionist or not total abstainers or men who indulge temperately in ales, wines, beers or distilled products--every mother and father who is sick of strife, terror, war and compulsory restraining orders on personal habits, every patriotic man who owns a Liberty bond or a piece of real estate or personal property, to write, telegraph, telephone, or personally interview his or her State Legislator -Senator, Representative or Assemblyman-and say that you want him to work and vote against the ratification of the National Prohibition Amendment. In this way you will be doing your highest duty to your Country.

for o.n extension. This support includes recognition of the present high prices, nor would they frown on further increases. "The world's flax growing lands have been devastated or neglected to such an extent that large productions cannot be attempted for two or three years. It requires from six to nine months before a field is ready for planting. Several months more must be allowed for the crop's actual growing; then it must be marketed, manu- factured and exported.

Under these circumstances, it must be two or three years before we can even think of linen goods at their former prices. might add that in my opinion they vill never reach the low figures of 1913 and 1914." John S. Backman, linen buyer the John Wanamaker store, who has several times represented this firm in the European market, said: "The best I can see in linen prices 1s an advance during the next two years. It must come to this, as of all the industries which have suffered by the war, linen takes the first place." To illustrate the great increase of linen prices, Mr. Backman showed some huck towels which sold for $9 a dozen in 1915.

"These towels," he said, "are the best grade of linen. They could not be sold today less than $24 a dozen: they would cost $18 at wholesale. Tablecloths, the popular two-yard cloth--formerly cost $4 retall; now it cannot be sold for $10, while table napkins which were considered quite dear in 1916 at $4.50 a dozen are now snapped up at $10.50. "Linen prices, however, will drop in time--it may be two or three years, but they must come down. Linen is getting to be so expensive that cotton will have to be substituted even more extensively than it is at present." C.

G. PECK MEMORIAL HOSPITAL DEDICATED Institution Is Completed and Patients Will Be Admitted in a Week. Several hundred men and women prominent in the affairs of Brooklyn and friends of Mrs. Carson G. Peck attended the dedication of the Carson G.

Peck Memorial Hospital yesterday afternoon. The exercises were held in the rotunda on the main floor of the building erected by Mrs. Peck, and her children, Fremont C. Peck and Miss Clara S. Peck, in memory of Mr.

Peck, who was vice president general manager of the F. W. Woolworth Company. It is located on a commanding site at Crown st. and Albany ave.

A Maj. of the Charles F. Neergaard, chairman Building Committee and secretary of the Board of Trustees of the hospital, after a mew remarks turned the keys of the building over to the president, Clinton P. Case, who also spoke briefly in accepting them. The invocation was made by the Rev.

Dr. Hayt of Watertown, N. Y. There were addresses by the Rev. Dr.

Nehemiah Boynton and S. Parkes Cadman. Dr. Boynton said among other things: "Some of us remember, about a year ago, when it was our precious privilege to lay the foundation of this beautiful memorial hospital, there was not very much then to attract the eye, from the outward standpoint, but there was everything to quicken the soul, and now, by the faithful and the persistent and the patient work of this fine constructor and those associated with him, what, a year ago, was a prophecy of a splendid purpose, today is pose, and the initiation of its noble marked by the arrival of a that purfruition. "Mr.

Peck had just arrived at that point in his developing experiences when he was beginning to give serious attention to his relationships to his community and his world, and was beginning to plan in his own mind, as his know full well, beneficences out of the abund. ance with which he had been dowed, which should be for the helpfulness of the world. He was a strong man, He was a purposeful man; he was a vital man; but before his own purposes had been able to crystallize into material form, one day, he passed into the Heavens. He passed into the Heavens, but his spirit tarried with those who loved him, and this memorial is an expression, not only of the sacrifice of those who loved him, but their interest in their brother men; it is also the purpose fully on their part to continue the exhibit of that rare and manly spirit of his, the content and the proportion of which they realize so much better than anyone else; and, so, my dear friends, we give you joy upon this hour of the splendid arrival, when the grief that must have weighed, is, if not lost, at least tempered, by the calm delight and satisfaction and joy of such an hour as this." In his address Dr. Cadman said: "The world, in the last few been translated into new terms.

years, has and it now remains to us to see that those terms are not forsaken and that the precious spirit which has been I gained at a cost mercifully beyond our "Never imagination shall remain unimpaired, did the life of Mr. Peck and of his family take a nobler than it is taking here today. I do not shape take the view of an hospital that many people take, the long, dim wards, with their ghastly white, and those scenes of death. I say that the of hospital our most is the triumphant very vantage ground The hospital will be open for inspection by invited guests today, and tomorrow has been set apart for bers of the medical profession. While the hospital is now complete, even to the smallest detail, it is understood it will be at least another week before it will be open for the reception of patients.

Those who inspected the institution yesterday afternoon marvelled at the splendid arrangement of the interior and of the care taken to provide comfort patients and those caring for them. The lighting arrangement is of the most approved order and the color scheme throughout harmonizes with the splendid fittings. Beautiful blooms the place the effect of hotel rather graced each com and al aided in giving than that of a hospital. There is not a "square corner" in the building. The elevators are large enough to carry a bed and the windows are constructed so that beds may be rolled out onto the porches when it is desired to have the patient remain in the open.

Even the window shades are adjusted 80 as to afford special ventilation and light where needed. All of the 100 beds in the hospital are of the adjustable sort and sone have attachments whereby an attending nurse may lie beside the patient when occasion 80 requires. The wards are arranged so as to to be made up of single rooms by the appear use of glass partitions and curtains. Among those present were F. W.

Mr. Morgan considers the present method of teaching music in the public schools archaic, and states that where his system has been tried the pupils have not only learned a great deal, but have enjoyed it. Last evening he considcred the chromatic scale. Next week, after a resume of last night's lesson, for the benefit of those who.
