SHOE SIZES.
The System OF Numbering the Work

The System Of Numbering the Work
81 = Forgeteen Frsnehman.
1T is the hardest thing in the
world for me-" said busy man the
other day, ito remember the sizes
Of my different articles Of wearing
apparel. Collars, shirts and gloves
are easy enough because there it's
matter of actual inches. but where
they get the hat and shoe numbers
Is what beats me. and why have an
eleven stocking under an eight shoe
Is another mystery"
The last puzzle is easily explained
Stockings have always been meas.
ured by the inch from heel to toe.
but the numbering of shoes was fixed
long time ago by a Frenchman-
and it's so long ago that only one
New York dealer could be found who
knew anything about it. Even he
didn't know the inventors name.
The Frenchman permanently fixed
the numbers of shoes for all Europe
and America. He arbitrarily decided
that no human foot could possibly
be smaller than three and seven.
eighths inches, so calling this point
zero he allowed one-third OF an inck
to size and SO built up his scale.
Consequently a man cannot find GU:
the number of his own shoe unless
he is an expert at exact arithmetic.
And even then he Is likely to go
wrong, because all shoe experts al
low for the weight of the individual
and the build of his foot before they
try to determine what size shoe he
ought to wear.
AS far as women's shoes are con-
cerned the problem Is still more Diff
ficult because many Of the manufact.
urers instead Of keeping to the reg
ular scale have marked down their
numbers one or two sizes In order
to capture easily flattered customer.
For this reason most dealers ask out
of town customers to send an old
shoe with their orders.
The system Of measuring hats Is
much simpler. Any man can tell
what size he wears by simply ad-
ding the width and length Of the In
rer rim and then dividing by two.
Orders can also be sent to the shop
keeper by stating the circumference
Of the head-New York Sun.

criticising Debaters Not So Differens
From Football Analysis.
A debating team isn't much like a
football team, but apparently the
habit of athletic criticism is so deep
ly ingrained that to some college men
the activities of the two appear alike.
Which is to say that when the Yale
debating team recently met Prince
ton, and incidentally was defeated,
the Yale News published in advance
Of that contest summary OF the
Yale team that read for all the world
like the estimate of abilities of an
athlete.
One man was Every good at his
best, has some on days. He is a
trifie too aggressive sometimes in his
delivery and has tendency to talk
too fast" Sounds like: us inclined
to change before the ball and thus
get offside," doesn't it?
Another man has some minor
faults of delivery, but he holds the
attention by his earnestness and in
dividuality. He is vefS clear and
logical in his constructive argument
In rebuttal he shows good judy
ment but is not quite as aRluent in
expression as he should be. He Is a
very cool headed and reliable man
and exerts a steaiying influence on
the whole team"
Which could be read: Smith Is
a fine man in the backfield catching
punts, rarely mufing and then gener-
ally able to get them back. He runs
his team with good headwork. choos-
ing his plays nicely. and is clever
at picking weak spots in the opposing
line. When they get going under
Smith it is a case of the full count"
Another fellow in rebuttal lis very
quick but little inclined to let the
excitement of the debate run away
with him." Otherwise: "He is a
fierce tackler, but is apt at times to
be turned away from the play. In his
eagerness to get through he some
times fails to diagnose the fOrma-
tion."
Still another debater has also
some minor faults in delivery, but in
spite of these he is a good speaker
and an excellent debater. He handles
his constructive argument we'll and
seldom loses sight Of the main issues
In rebutting. He also has a ready
flow of language, which is invaluable
In extemporaaeous work." Which re-
calls: "He is a good man at advanc-
ing the ball, following his interior
ence well and taking the holes with
good judgment. He is a wonderful
dodger and a great man in a broken
field"
