Especial from United Press.

New York, April 22-Women's feet
are getting bigger! This bold, unequi-
vocal statement was made today, by
a group of New York shoe merchants
who got together to discuss trade con-

The little teaspoon shaped foot that,
encased in satin, used to go tripping
down the street, is becoming passe
and in it's place is a considerable ped
al extremity done up in leather. The
shoe men attribute the change to the
general enlargement of woman'S
