Fifty Milion Dollar Advance
in 1919 Figures, Census
Report Shows
An increase of more than fifty mil-
lion dollars in the value of wool-felt
and fur-felt hats produced in 1919. as
compared With 1914. is shown by a
preliminary repart on the hat indus-
try just issued by the census bureau as
a result of its 19“) census of manu-
factures. says the American Hatter.
One of the notable revelations of
the figures as published is the. cor.

esfitlflifiliments producing wool-felt
hats. as well as the decrease in those
producing fur-felt hats. The growth
in the wool-felt hat industry reflects
the practice during 1919. the year of
peak prices in hat manufacturing. or
large purchase by the finishing shops
of wool—felt bodies._as the only re-
source for meeting the demand for a

The slashing of the school budget
by the Board of Estimate and Taxa—
tion will be one of the principal things
to come for discussion at the meeting
of the Board of Education. to beheld
next Tuesday night. Just what action
will be taken by the board could not
be ascertained today. but it is very
probable that a definite program will
be mapped out. ‘
The school budget was cut 820.788~
.28 by the lloard of Istlmate and
Taxation. in spite of the new power
vested in the Board of Education by
the state legislature. The text books
and supplies item was out from 812.~
000 to $8.000; water and heating and
light, from 32.179 to $1.791; an item
of 318.250 for repairs was cut out en-
tirely as was 82.600 for new equip-
ment. The board. however. added
$2.000 for painting the interior of the
High school but cut the contingency
fund from 81.000 to $500.

little for the firemen to do when they

\V’llllam ll. Noyes. for five years
principal of the High School at Ston-
ington. Conn. has'been selected bv
the Board of Education as a successor
to Lawrence A. Howard as principal
of the Norwalk High School. it was
learned this morning by the Evening
Sentinel. Formal notification of his
selection has been forwarded to Mr.
Noyes. but word of his acceptance has
not been received yet.
Mr. Noyes is a man 48 years of age.
He is a graduate of Harvard l'niver-
sity. He was principal of the High
School at Whitesfleld. N. IL. for sev-
eral years from whence he became
principal of the Stratford High School.
He has been head of the Stonlngton
High school for the past five years
and is said to be a very capable man.
According to reports. Mr. Noyes is
a strict dtRIrlinarian who believes in
guiding pipils with a firm hand.
The decis'd- u locum time-or
for Principal Howard according to the
Board of Education. was because of
the lack of discipline during the time
he was head of the High School.

City National Bank .n a
Local Merchant Said to
Have Lost in the Opera-
tion
A man. giving {his name as “J. T.
Robman." has been in Norwalk for
the past week. and. during that time.
is believed to have passed a number
of “phoney” checks on local mer-
chants.
One merchant here received word
yesterday that a check for $22.28.
which was given him on Tuesday in
payment for a suit case .was a forgery.
and that the certification of the bank
was also a forgery.
The check was drawn to the order
of “J. T. Bobtail." and was one of
the checks“l!sued'to the "Newspaper
Feature Syndicate. Inc.. of Albany. N.
Y.." and was signed by “A. R. Black.
Treasurer." ’
The reverse of the check was certi-
fied with a rubber stamp from the
First National Bank. of Albany. N. Y..
on which bank the check was drawn,
It is believed that the man. who is
suid to be between 50 and 60 years
old. about 5 feet. 10 inches tall. and
between 170 and 180 pounds. had in
his possession a rubber stamp which
he used to certify the checks.
The City National Bank also had a
similar scheme worked with its check
some months ago. and it is believed
that the same man turned the trick in
each instance.
. The deposit of the check was not
made until \Vednesday and hence it
was not until yesterday that it became
known that the check was no good.
