ment reaches out in a year of depres-
sion and increases and expands its
business, while others In the same line
diminish their outputs or stand still, it
is because there must be some un.

Milwaukee, the largest shoe establish
ment in the Northwest, has just closed
It's fiscal year, and reports an increase
In sales over the corresponding period
OF last year. This exceptional show
ing speaks volumes for the genuine
merit Of Mayer shoes, and is directly
attributed to their high standard, and
because Of the fact that Mayer shoes
have become universally and popular
ly known as "shoes of quality"
The leading brands are "Honorbilt''

QUEEN HELENE, BookBINDER

Nearly all crowned monarchs have
their hobbies, but not many devote
themselves to such an out-of-the-Way
pursuit as bookbinding. Yet Queen
Helene of Italy-whose prompt and
plucky appearance with her husband
ON the scene Of the recent earthquake
IN Sicily commanded such universal
adm1ration-is so proficient in this art
that she is able to bind volumes of any
size and in almost any sort of binding,
including sheepskin.
Not long ago King Victor Emmanuel
turned over to her a number of collec-
lions OF state papers from the royal
archives, which had hitherto remained
unbound because the king would not
trust them to ordinary workmen. The
queen was paid for her work like an
ordinary employe, but the money was,
OF course, devoted to one of her many
charities.
Queen Helene is a writer as we'll as
a binder of books, and she has pub
hshed several volumes of poems deal
ing with the folk lore of Montenegro.

people and sometimes may be very
successfully used when nothing else
will answer, says an English writer.
