Indications today were that the
public> hearing before Governor Mar,
shall on the Linton court bill would
be a red-hot one and that the sparks
would fly before the meeting was ov
err. Senator Bland announced early
that he was ready to meet all accus
ers who might wish to appear at the
meeting. A dispatch from Sullivan
received late last night, said:
Attorneys and business men left
here this afternoon to attend the pub
lie hearing on the Linton superior
court bill in the governors office to
morrow. They took with them the
affidavit of Fred F. Bays, local attor
ney and trustee of the Southern Indi
ana Hospital for the Insane.
Called Upon Bays.
"The affidavit tells a story of how
Senator Oscar Bland, author of the
Linton bill, called Bays here on the
long distance telephone about two
weeks ago. Bays was at Shelburn
six miles north. getting evidence for {
trial, and Bland had the telephone
call transferred to Shelburn, getting
Bays in the interurban station as Bays
was on the way home.
BLAND told Bays, the affidavit

man of the finance committee of the
senate, turn down the appropriation

from his position as leader of thu

Women's shoes for the spring and
summer, according to local mer-
chant, are nearer nature shape than
any fashionable shoes for women made
here since the day OF the square toe
serge CATER The nature shaped shoe
for women has come into fashion SO
gradually, SO inconspicuously, that it
has hardly been noticed.
The new nature-shaped shoe for
women owes it's popularity to the so
called straight lasts, which all manu-
facturers are uring. These lasts fol-
low the natural lines of the foot.
There are no out-swings or in-swings,
as there were to lasts in fashion a
few seasons ago. These swing lasts
swung the foot inward or outward, and
hurt the foot, the stride and the car
riage of the body.
The new nature-shaped shoes for
women are not like the orthopedic
shoes with their broad toes, which are
SO popular in the children's lines.
They are narrow toed, and short
vamped and very feminine looking.
The last maker uses the natural
shape of the foot for the foundation of
these new lasts. To the foundation he
puts such decoration as pleases his
fancy, just as a dressmaker puts tucks,
ruffles and other trimmings on a
gown The modern idea of last max
ing is to add to the last to give style
to the shoe instead of cutting away
from the last.
If one of these new nature-shaped
shoes for women is put on table, the

through the center of the heel, and the

that the last is straight, swinging

does not turn the foot to the right nor
to the left, and make the walk unnat-
ural.
Women's Shoes Are Larger.
Another interesting feature of the
womens shoe trade is that the aver
age Lynn shoe for women is larger
than the average Lynn shoe OF 10 or
20 years ago. Manufacturers well re-
member when shoes ran from size No.
4 down. Now they run from size No. 4
up In other words, women of the
country are calling for larger shoes.
Instead of insisting on shoes OF size
No. 4, or less, they are wearing shoes
larger than No. 4.
This new state of affairs in the wom-
ems shoe trade shelves two old jokes,
one about the size of feet of Chicago
women, and the other about women
crowding their feet into little shoes,
like Chinese women crowding their
feet into tight bandages.
The Chicago foot. of ample proper
ton and sure foundation. seems to be
in fashion today. A substantial foot
is not thing of which to be ashamed
in the women's world, and the old
joke about women's tight shoes has
ceased to amuse.

Could Not Find Bill.
After the startling message was
read in the two houses a search was
started for the bill to which the gov.
ernor referred which was to require
county treasurers to make advance
ments on the semi-annual settlements
or in other words, to pay the state
the states share of the taxes collected
as rapidly as they are collected, but
the bill could not be found. No such
bill had been introduced. Then 1t
was learned that yesterday forenoon
the governor placed such a bill in the
| hands of Representative Garrard, the
democratic floor leader in the house.
| with the request that 1t be introduced
at once. But Garrard said he had
not introduced the bill and did not
know that he would introduce it.
Il have the BILL" he said, but
am not sure that L Will introduce H.
The republicans got the state into this
hole and it is not up to the democrats
to help them out of it."
Thought it Was Entered.
Governor Marshall, evidently. was

his special message to the Legislature
that the bill had been introduced, az
per his request.
1t is said that during the Hanly ad-
ministration the state went too fast
and spent money too freely and that
