sane Fourth" celebration began with
the temperature at sixty-fve degrees.
Early indications were that the day
would be comparatively quiet. One
citizen reported that In q six-mile ride
downtown he did not hear a single det-
onation until he reached the federal
building. where a few messenger boys
were setting or small frecrackers in q
subdued and listless way. The record
OF injuries was only a few persons and
there were but three fires due to pre-
Fourth activities
Thousands OF persons lined the
streets for miles along the line Of the
parade, which was the main event on
today's program. Tonight troops Of the
regular army, nearly 5000 OF whom are
encamped on the lake front, will give a
military tournament. Seats for 10000
persons have been provided by public
subscription.

Englishwomen's Feet.
VA the New York Sun

From the New 1ork sun.
The short skirts now in vogue in Lon
don are making one fact quite evident;
that Englishwomen's feet are larger than
they were the last time short skirts were
in fashion. A reporter watched a num-
Der of his countrywomen at smart tea
shops and in fashionable thoroughfares
and was convinced that this was the case,
SO he went to various shoe stores for
confirmation, and there he learned the
truth. that EngIishwomen are taking far
larger sizes in shoes than ip former days.
Substantial fves and skies are required
in place Of the twos and threes which
used to be worn. Indeed. one shoe deal
er Informed the reporter that in the last
ten years the lowest size in women's
shoes had risen from a two and a half to
q five-that is. from nine and half-inch
shoe to q ten-inch shoe. In proportion
as sizes have increased heels have grown
higher, till now 1t Is not an uncommon
sight to see a tall Englishwoman add
ing to her stature by three and one-half-
inch heels, on which she totters along.
The feet of American women are not
getting larger. say English shoe dealers.
In fact. it 10 for American sales that the
small sizes are kept at some Of the larger
shops.

Maj. Judson's Address.
Mai. W. v. Judson, Engineer Com
missioner for the District. made an ad-
dress of thanks on behalf OF the citi-
cons of the District, thanking the boys
for the nag and pole. He said:
II think the work you boys have done
in putting up this flag is simply splen-
did. 1t means lot OF things. 1t
Kanize to do something. 1t means ap-
preciation of tho hard work q number
OF Washington gentlemen have done to
secure these and other Fairgrounds for
you. It means that you take pride In
these grounds, and that having done
something for them. you will find your
interest in them increased, which means
again that you will secure more benefit
from them.
Il am not very sentimental myself-not
sentimental enough / am afraid. There
fore I speak last of the element OF
patriotism in your selection OF the nag
STAN and flag as your contribution to
that patriotism is the last refuge Of q
scroundel' Still We must remember that
1t is not only and not always that. In
itself. however, patriotism is nothing un-
the community, and to live an orderly
life in accordance with the laws.
"The period Of youth Is a period OF
preparation. At school your minds are
being trained. Your moral sense is de-
veloping under the influence of your
homes. your daily associates and your
reading. These Fairgrounds will. IL you
pernit. develop your bodies. and . good
physical constitution. which you can &C.
ouire nov. will make your whole future
more useful to yourself and others.
II hope we may some day have q great
building on these grounds. where in win.
ter you can swim and play and have your
meetings.
I'm behalf of the citizens of Washing
ton thank you for the flag. and hope
| that In its shadow here you may And
Kreet health and happiness"

raft an American flag. representing as it
