WOMEN'S FEET
GROW LARGER
Shoes Of 20 Years Ago Do Not
Fit Women
Now

BOSTON, July 19-Women's feet
are growing larger.
The once dainty feminine foot that
could enter a No 2 shoe 20 years ago
has about vanished. This informa-
ton about the growing size of wo-
mems feet has been disseminated by
the shoe manufacturers and dealers
who are holding their fifth national
fair in Boston.
There is no other man more quail
fed to speak on the size Of womens
feet than the shoe manufacturer" said
dealer THE women of this gen
Grafton have larger feet than the wo-
men of the last. Yet, in spite of this
fact, the woman of today wishes to
follow the standard in sizes of the
last generation.
'The No. size in women's shoes
has practically disappeared" said NJ.
p. Merrill, a Detroit dealer. Il VEN
ture to say that not one of 20 retail
dealers handles this size. There has
been a marked decrease in the manu-
facture 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 ex-
pect to have very small feet.
"The only way l can account for
the growing size of the feet of wo-
men 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"
A canvass Of opinions among shoe
men brought out the fact that the
average size OF shoes that women
wear today is from four to five,
whereas 20 years ago the average size
was from three to five.

Influence of Women.

Springfield Union.
The strong progressive influence Of
Mrs Ella Elagg Young during her
term as president, coupled with her
adroitness as a politician, Is regarded
as the main factor responsible for
the insurgent victory in the San Fran
cisco convention of the National Edu-
cation Association. This Is one in
stance among many Of the manner in
which women of character and clever
ness are coming to the front In de-
termining the adoption of measures
and policies that vitality concern the
American people.
II was a WOman-Mrs. Elizabeth
Lowell Putman-who directed the vic

Another woman, Mrs. Russell Sage, is
devoting her great fortune to original
lines Of endeavor TO ameliOrate human
ills. The money and influence Of
women is back Of many social and
civic movements that are attracting
the attention OF the public In respect
TO certain kinds of problems the sym

ed TO the vital side of things, often
bring a leavening force to bear that
the masculine contingent fails to ap-
ply in anything like the same degree.
The part played by women in orr
complex social system is becoming
more prominent all the while. The

1t is now said that DR.. Wiley at Washington will
be rebuked by the President for the alleged irreg-
ularites in the conduct Of his Office. If this is
done the President will have indicated the posi-
iton of his Attorney-General in the matter, and
at the same time Dr. Wiley will not be much Of
Tended The position Of DR.. Wiley is so clear to
the people that nothing even Taft could do would

TO KEEP HONEY BEES,
DON'T SPRAY TREES!
Spraying Drives Them All
Away

Hampton, Conn, April 3.-Bee-keep-
ers in this section are fearful that
the honey storing industry is to be a
failure the coming summer and on
comparing notes are becoming convinc-
ed that the trouble is due to the stray
ing of trees, especially apple anJ
other fruit trees, While in bloom, OF

SONS. City Clerk A. c. Scripture, 81
| Willimantic, who was one of the first
to make the assertion, states that in
the winter of 1909 he too Respectfully
good care of the hives, keep them well
covered during the severe weather, fed
the bees as necessity demanded, and in
the spring the little honey gatherers
came out in prime condition, so that
when the apple trees began to bios
som they We're in trim to make a Wig
orous attack on the hidden sweet
ness
He supposed the bees We're storing
honey as in former years, and paid
| little attention to them for two OF
three weeks When he did visit them
he was SURPRISED to find very few bees
about the hives, At first he thought
nothing of it, reasoning that they were
out gathering honey. The next time
he looked over the bee hives was al
time of day when the bees should
have been in their quarters in large
numbers. He was surprised to find
even fewer that he did before. Inves-
tigation disclosed that the bees were
practically all gone. 1t was too early
in the season for them to swarm, and
there were no indications about the
hives that they had died, no dead bees
being in sight.
Inquiring of other beekeepers, Mr..
Scripture learned that he was not the
only one who was losing bees, and that
others had concluded that the spray
applied to fruit trees to kill the tiny
moths which infect the blossoms and
later the fruit, was doing equally effec-
tive work in killing off the honey bees.
