"A CIPHER ON SHOES.

Minneapolis journal:
Chicago feet are fast loosing the
prominent distlnctiveness" owing
to tho general introduction in the
large cities of French system, Of
numbering shoes. In years gone by
the women of the windy city achiev
ed an unenviable reputation of hav-
ing unusually large pedal dimen-
sions, hence the term which has long
since t>ceased to be a ''standing"
joke IN the vaudeville stage. AS a
matter of fact it is quite probable
that Chicago women, as a class, have
no larger feet than their sisters in
other cities. It is possible, how
ever, that they have set the pace in
the size of their foot apparel and in
sisted on comfort taking precedence
over the size or shape Of the shoe.
There is no longer any occasion
anywhere for women to pinch their
feet in order to sustain their repu-
tation for wearing certain number
of shoe.
Three Minneapolis manufacturers
and retailers of shoes say that the
introduction Of the French system Of
numbering has solved the problem
Of uncomfortable shoes, and people
with i'll fitting shoes are greatly the
exceptions to the rule now days.
Dealers admit that the new system
has given great satisfaction to, the
trade. The clerks find it much
easier to suit customers and there
are fewer complaints than formerly
because Of misfts. #~~
It is q fact that women who insist
on squeezing their feet into shoes of
a certain number in other days, in
spite Of the clerk g protestations that
untold misery would follow, are not
So particular now. They ask for
the old familiar sizes as of yore, but
the intelligent clerk hands them q
shoe that fits, even if it happens to
be a size larger, they enter no
demurrer. -

This is due to the fact that the
of signals" used under the

This is due to the fact that the
"code of signals" used under the
French system is absolutely unin4
telligiblez to the unintiated: The
woman witha No. 6foot who has
heretofore labored under the de-
lusion that ashoe which might have
fitted Mrs. Tom Thumb was just her
size, has been cured of this mania
by the sensible fitting system now
in vogue.
The French system consists entire
" Of a French combination of num-
bers, the use of letters having been
entirely cut out 80 far as the shoe
stamp is concerned. While the
same general system is in use, each
large factory has cipher code of it's
own, to distinguish it's output from
shoes of other makes.
A pair of shoes of particular
brand handled at q certain Nicollet
avenue shoe store, for instance,
might be numbered 154. The clerk
would at once take this humber to
mean that the size of the shoe was
CD. He would arrive at this con-
clusion by adding the first two num-
bres together, WHICH would give
him six, and then interpreting the
figure four to mean D last. In
determining the width all he has to
know is that stands for A; 2 for B;
3 for G; 4 for D; s for E and so on.
A dash would stand for half size.
In another store visited this morn
ing the figure 80 WAS taken for the
unit, or No. 1. Thus, SO would be
equivalent to No. 4. Another num-
ber would indicate the width.
] .'*Our aim," said one dealer, lis
first of all, to see that our customers
are properly fitted. Even the crank
who once insisted on getting q cor
tain number genera ly complains
the loudest when shoes began to
hurt them. When q person of that
class pretends to know now just
what size she wears. We occasion
ally enter into a little harmless de-
ception and give her foot the benefit
of the doubt. She never knows the
difference: and she gets the size
she really wants. "
The rule applies to men as well
as women. ~

sending young women to teach in
the islands. While denOuncing the
assignment of women teachers at
Luzon as an outrage, Mr.. Holden
does not wish to to assume the role
of critic. Somebody, he says, has
made an. egregious blunder which
will soon be perceived. 49,. -.
No sane man, in Mr.. Holden q
opinion, would think Of sending de-
fenseless women into towns where
they would stand alone against the
natives. A young woman teacher
in one of the coast towns, for ex-
ample, would be completely isolated
from white man or white women
of her own nationality. She
would not even have foreigners.to
keep her company, even if she could
understand their language. She
would have no bed, for the Flipinos
do not know what a bed is, except a
place to sleep on the ground. She
might meet an American officer and
his wife, but that would be all. -.
Mr.. Holden, in company with Roy
l.. Squires, graduate of Minneosta
university, spent five months in the
Philippines recently. It was Mr.
Holden's second trip to that far
away country and was undertaken
for the purpose Of investigating the
lumber and sugar interests. He
had many other business ventures
in mind, if conditions struck him
favorably, one being the construc-
ton of an electric railway to be uti-
lized in getting hemp from interior
villages to market, but the islands
are not yet ready for such trips
shave been induced to free my
mind on the subject of women school
teachers in the Philippines" said
Mr.. Holden, ''for the reason that 80
many of. my friends who have
daughters anxious to teach in the
islands have importuned me to tell
them what 1 think aboutit. Think
it an outrage that young women
should be sent to the islands at all,
whoever is responsible for it. It is
bad enough for men teachers, but
what young woman would do in
a native village containing several
hundred Filipinos and only two
American soldiers, as l found IN one
place, I don't know. She might as

even have a bed to sleep in, unless
she took one with her: And I don t
know wha5 she would eat, certainly
not the stuff that the Filipinos de.

the young woman could have food

would starve to death. Mr.. Squiree
and myself would certainly havepas
sed over had it not been for the
kindness of the commissary officers
in letting us have provisions.
1--WE studied the islands carefully
and got into the heart of the coun-
try. We were afforded every facility
for exploring and investigating al
though most of our time was spent
in Luzon. From through knowl-
edge of the conditions existing in
the towns and villages out of Manil-
la, we know what a young woman
might expect in the way of accom-
modations in them. She would be
a thousand times better off in one of
the Indian schools of America.

Filipino, but the school books should
be handled by men. : think we
ought to retain the islands, and

bright individual in the islands,

point" -, ID
Mr.. Holden is at a loss to- account
for the lack of information which
induced the recommendation that
lady teachers should shed their soft
ening influence in the Filipinos. ''1t
is easy" said Mr.. Holden, '.to take a
trip around the islands on an ice
