Mr group of representatives of the N East Rellef and recently visl Armenia before starting northw; through Russia to Moscow. He writes that the cholera is due to lack of tstuffs and the consequent reduced resistence of the population to the in ronds of disease. He adds An average of 25 aged persons and young children are dying daily in the strests of Alexandropol from both cholera and hunger. The bodies are being loaded in the wagons which are continually making the rounds ot the strests in search of corpses. “The American Near st Rellef is taking additional hundreds of virtual- ly naked children into its already overcrowded orphanages and housing them under open sheds until bufldings C be obtained “Fhere are 63 registered cases of cholera in Erivan and 141 at Alexan- dropol and the deaths are averaging 10 per cent. of the cases.

They stated that the government was trying desperately to obtain grain from Per- sia but that the Persian government was becoming alarmed at the exporta- tion of foodstuffs and was putting an embargo on its exports. thus cutting off the only nearby source of supply. “The present crops in Armenia were wown in May after the depariure of the Turks and in consequence of this late planting the grain is stunted. The government estimates that it can not possibly, even with a minimum con- sumption, supply the population witn food beyond January next. “The housing conditions also are appalling, owing to the destruction of the many vilages. Last winter the roofs of houses throughout Armenia were ourned for fuel This leaves many occupled houses with gaping roofs which will be open to the win ter's snows while the government es- timates that 500,000 people are home- less."

TEACHERS WARNED ing Beauties.” New York, Sept. 29.—Teachers in e public schools at Lyndhurst, N. J., have been requested by Reeves D. Patten, superintendent, to wear long skirts and to shun elaborate cos- fumes of “colorful” combinations while In the classrooms. The school board had discussed the apparel of the teachers at its rigeting on Sept. 21. One of the nine members of the “oard, Jesse R. Fifer, remarked that “skirts were too short, stockings too fancy and clothing too loud.” Edward H, Kane, president of the board, refused to accept Fifer'’s mo- tlon for an Investigation. Kane sald lost night that Fifer objected to “flesh colored stockigs and other loud clothes,” and gave it as his opinion that “some of our teachers looked like bathing beauties.” All of the members except Fifer, it was said, refu to take it upon themselves to act censors of fem- inine styles, and the board referred the problem to Superintendent Bat- ten. He called a meeting of the forty tachers and told them of the com- maint made by Fifer, which was greeted with a chorus of “Oh's!" Liplomatically’ the superintendent in- ‘ormed the teachers that no rule would be adopted by the board, but that the problem would be left to the teachers themselves, and that he hoped they might find a way “to modify the cause of the criticism™ and end the matter, One of the teachers expressed the rux of the problem when she com- mented “It is much easler to shorten than to lengthen a dress.” Several of the teachers haid they didn't believe they were bound to take any action on the “advice” from a member of the board, because that body had refused to make any official ruling. “How are we to know what will suit our eritic?" questioned one of the teach- ¢rs. Some others declared they would rerign their position if compelled to have their clothing “O.
