WHATS WHAT IN SHOES.

An inspection of the shoes for the COM
ing fall and winter gives an excellent
idea of what will be most worn by good
dressers. Tans, which have been grow
ing in favor for winter street wear. will
be much in evidence. especially In the
rich brown shades. not too dark in color.
Gun Metal Calf and Velour Calf promise
to divide honors as the most popular
black feathers for street and business
wear. while Patent Colt, particularly in
button styles, will hold in favor for dress
and Sunday wear. Incidentally IL might
be mentioned that button shoes, in all
feathers and for all occasions, are in
cIeasing in favor. This is especially true
of shoes made with medium high round
toes, medium high heels, and the short
vamp effects which will be much worn
by the younger set of smart dressers.
Black Vici Kid will be considerably
worn. In fact, this Is becoming more
and more an all-the-year-around leather.
The blucher cut lace shoe will be a
strong seller. more particularly in the
heavy feathers and round toe shapes, this
combination strongly suggesting the GUS
homemade shoe. Patent colt, in button
pattern. will continue to be the shoe for
dress and Sunday wear.
For the well dressed men of more con.
servatVe tastes, the lace and blucher pat
terms in straight shape lasts, medium mar
row toe, fairly high custom heel, and
close-trimmed sole will lead.
We are indebted to the W. L. Douglas
Shoe Company, 900 Pennsylvania avenue
northwest, whose opening occurs August
"a, for an advance inspection of the fall
and winter styles.

The commission is trying to figure out
plan to reduce the cost of handling
the second-class matter. Postmaster
General Hitchcock believes $e,OO0,O0O a
year can be saved the government If the
vast amount of second-class mail can be
carried on a more economical basis
The postmasters throughout the coun-
try received, early in the spring, a cir
cular from the department asking that
detailed information regarding second
class matter be sent to the Post office
Department. So great a bulk of infor-
nation came in response that the de-
partment heads decided the clerks would
have to work overtime to get the infor-
nation in shape to present to the Moss
commission by Monday. The work will
practically be finished tomorrow even-
ing, Theodore Weed, chief clerk, said
yesterday.
Mr., Weed said it was absolutely nee
essary to rush the work, and that the
clerks had responded nobly, working
sometimes until after Z o'clock In the
evening.
Hundreds of tabulating machines have
been put to use, as the statistics cover
every phase Of the cost of handling the
second-class matter. Not the slightest
detail relative to the work has been
omitted, and Mr.. Hitchcock is much
pleased with the situation

DOVER AFTER 10000 CENSUS

Board of Trade of Dover Active in a
Campaign for the State Capitals
Growth Within Next Decade.
The Dover Board of Trade held
its first fall meeting last night and
prepared to "get att a vigorous
campaign for Dover. A movement
to be known as the "get ten thou
sand" campaign is now being dis
cussed and will probably be taken up
by the Board, the object being to
increase DOver's population to ten
thousand during the next ten years.
Probably no Board of Trade has
worked faster and accomplished
mole results in a community of this
size anywhere in the United States
than has Dover's. The fine new
Pennsylvania Railroad station was
first worked up by resolution and
then by committee of the Board of
Trade. The elaborate improvements
to the State property here was first
urged and then pressed by the Dover
Board of Trade whose members had
to engage in one of the greatest
nights of lobbying known here in
years to get the State to wake up
and do something toward a commen-
surate State House. But the i'm
proved streets, the squares covered
by solid and smooth bitulithic and
the symmetrical curbs and the great
est sewer system of any town in the
country, was entirely originated and
undertaken by the Board of Trade.
The Board of Trade will start it's
campaign for more people by adver-
tising for small industries. 1t is
now in correspondence with a knit
ting mill and has partly organized
a company to establish a grape juice
plant.
