WcMEN's FEET ARE
GROWING LARGER
The No. Shoe of 20 Years Ago Now
L-rdI.I H., N>r.< E..., n..I.re

Boston. July 17.-Women's feet are
growing larger
The once dainty feminine foot that
could enter a No shoe has about
vanished. This information about
the growing size of women's feet has
been disseminated BY the shoe manu-
facturers and dealers who are holding
their fifth national fair in Boston.
There is no other body more quail
flied TO speak of the size of women
feet than the shoe manufacturer
said a dealer. The women of this
generation have larger feet than the
women/of the last. Yet, in spite of
this fact, the woman of today wishes
to follow the standard in sizes of the
past generation.
The No. 2 size in women's shoes
has practically disappeared said M.
p. Morrill,, Detroit dealer I ven
ture to say that not one of twenty
reail dealers handles this size. There
has been a marked decrease in the
manufacture and sale of shoes of the
smaller sizes.
Women Of the leisure classes are
the ones who are most apt to have
small feet Women who work and
are continually on their feet cannot
expect to have very small feet.
The only way that l can account
for the growing size of the feet of
women of leisure is their increasing
tendency to take up athletics. When
they wear comfortable footgear in
athletics they find trouble getting back
into tight Shoes
4 canvass of opinions among shoe
men brought out the fact that the
average size of shoes that women
wear today is from to ), whereas
twenty years ago the average size
was from to 5.

MAsTopoN TEETH
FOUND ri A NINE.
Five Moars of Prehistoric Beast I'm.
earthed in California.


San Francisco, Cal, July 17.-Five
gigantic teeth, which in some prehis-
torie period probabls- graced the cav
ernous mouth of nasrodon, predecos-
sor of the mammoth and one Of the
most colossal creatures that has ever
inhabited the earth have been I'M
earthed in the old Doggett mine on the
banks of the klamath river, near
Walker, Siskiyou county.
The three largest OF these stupen-
dous molars contain four cuspids each,
each tooth measuring seven inches
across from the first to the last cusptds
and little over six inches from the
tip of the root or that part of it which
remains, to the top of the center
cuspid.
The teeth measure four and half
inches in width. In remarkable
state of preservation. they were found
in a pocket of sand and gravel is feet
under the surface of the earth.
A better idea of the size of the teeth
may be gathered from the fact that
they are about Is times the size of the
tooth of the modern horse and about
eight times the size of the molar OF
the lion or tiger. The size of the jaw
of this giant creature may be imagined,
therefore, to have been eight to ten
times the size of that of the lion tr
tiger and about Is times the size of
horses mouth.
That the teeth We're those of an
herbivorous animal seems evident from
their evenness. They are too large To
have belonged to the mammoth. This
would seem to indicate that they be-
longed to the mastodOn. which lowered
in size over the mammoth as that
creature did over the modern elephant.

fact that every character in it is
toy, not of the cheap, tawdry sort,
but finely costumed, correct military

bring these toys to life required 10000

MUCH TOBACCO is
STUNTED BY DRoUTH.
Plants Blossoninq Before They Are
Full Grown.

Suffiald, July 1.-THE dry weather
is making a decided showing on the
tobacco crop in this section of the
state. The larger part of the tobacco
seems to be stunted, and it has begun
to blossom before it has got its growth
The blossoming will cause the farmers
to start topping right away, in order
to get the growth in the leaves of the
plant, instead of the blossom or the
stalk. At this time of the year the
plants are usually full grown and are
just about beginning to blossom by the
third week in July, and soon after this
the topping begins. but several of the
Suff1eld farmers have already begun to
top Those tobacco farms, such as that
of Herman Ude and Charles Whitti-
more and some of the syndicates that
have their own irrigation plants, have
the best looking tobacco in town. and
this is the tobacco that will bring the
highest price in town this year. The
shade grown tobacco that is grown on
the Suffield Plains. is also full grown,
it being irrigated and grown under the
cloth where there is a temperature
anywhere from 105 to 125 degrees.

HIGH PRICE OF ICE
DUE TO TRUSTS GREED.
investigation Shows Plenty of Ice on
Hand During Hot Spell.

New York, July 17.-From an inves-
\tigation by Police Commissioner Wal
do, it would appear that the present
high price of ice is largely due to the
greed of the ice companies in refusing
to take necessary measures to supply
the ,city's wants.
In reporting his findings to the may
or today, the commissioner says that
about July 1, when the bot weather
Set in, the largest of New York ice
companies the knickerbuocker Ice
company-raised the price from 1928
to SO and at one East Side dock more
than doubled the price, to IS a ton.
The advance was made, the commits
sioner finds, in the face of plentiful
supply in storage along the upper
Hudson and over 100000 tons on
barges in the river. He finds no basis
for the excuse that the Knickerbocker
company could not find men enough
to handle the commodity.
President Wesley NJ Oler of the
Knickerbocl<er company was closeted
with District Attorney Charles Wha-
Ian nearly an hour today, but neither
party would discuss the ma ture of the
conference. Mr.. Oler was shown Com
