WHAT'S WHAT In SHOES

An inspection of the new Easter
footwear gives an excellent idea Of
what Will be worn this season. A
man to be correctly attired really re-
quires three pairs OF shoes-a pair
of tan shoes for business, street wear
and automobiling, a pair Of white
shoes made of the new, soft. flexible
leather, called Nubuck, and a pair
of dress. black shoes in patent leath-
er or possibly gun metal, as may
be preferred
Tans, not too dark in color will be
worn more this season than ever be-
fore. Gun metal calf, and velour
calf promise to divide honor, as the
most popular black feathers, while
patent colt, particularly In button
styles, will hold in favor for dress
and Sunday wear. High and low cut
shoes of white Nubuck. almost indis-
pensable for scashore and summer
resort wear, will also be worn for a
street shoe as we'll. In fact. the ten
dency toward white shoes will be very
marked While button shoes arc now
being largely worn by correct dress
crs. they arc being replaced some
what by the straight laced shape (not
Blucher style) although for solid
comfort many viii prefer the Blucher
laced effect i'm both high and low
shoes. The high toe. short vamp ef-
feet will continue 90 be worn, espo-
cially by young men who wear turned
up trousers. as this style gives sihe
foot dainty small appearance.
For conservative men. the custom
rocoding toe with a medium, IA inch
heel with close trimmed sole. will be
much I'm evidence. This Is the season
of the year when almost everyone
who desires solid comfort viii view
with favor the wide, comfortable last
known as the Orthopodic or perfecto
shape. with a broad, fat heel and a
wide tread sole giving the toes plenty
of room to spread out comfortably, an
especially desirable feature i'm warm
weather This shape, while It will be
shown i'm all feathers is most desir-
able in Vici Kid and Glazed Kangaroo.
We are indebted to the w. l..
Douglas Shoe Co. 701 Market street
whose Easter opening occurs today
for am advance inspection of new
spring styles.

SENATOR MILLER
FOR BOULEVARD
Approves Extra Session Of
Legislature and Would Sup
port Proposed Amendments

state Senator Charles II. Miller
who is an active good roads advocate,
was asked today about the possibility
of a special session of the Legisla
ture being called to act on proposed
amendments TO the boulevard cor
porations law.
"The agitation for good roads"
said Senator Miller, lis one of the
most prominent questions now before
this country Many states have al
ready authorized the expenditure Of
very large 6 rs of money for the
construction OF what may be termed
trunk line highways, thereby encour-
aging counties locally to construct
latcrals thereto. Experience has
demonstrated that those sections in
which good roads have been con-
structed enjoy a material increase of
prosperity over those sections in
which such roads do not exist. This
condition is manifested with greater
force every year TO those of our peo-
pie, who i'm the course of their travels
have had the opportunity to make
comparison by personal observation.
"Tho increased case and rapidity
OF travel. the possibility of carrying
with the same power much greater
loads, to say nothing of the improved
appearance Of the country traversed,
should tend to stimulate and develop
desire among our people for good
roads and create a determination to
have them.
"The country. state and county
which do not come abreast the times
IN these matters and inaugurate the
construction OF good roads cannot
expect to develop and progress in
the same ratio as those which are
more advsntageously circumstanced
by having adopted internal improve
mcnts of this character
These are few Of the circum-
stances which influenced me at the
last session of the Legislature TO
support ard vote for Senate Bill No.
iS2. which provided for the organiza-
tion of Boulevard Corporations I
believed then and am still of the same
opinion, that a highway such as can
be constructed under that act will
be a permanent benefit to the entire
state. IL is a matter Of common
knowledge that the Boulevard Cor
poration chartered under the provi-
sions of the above mentioned act. de-
sires additional legislation to prompt
~ and properly carry ont the object
for which the corporation was form
cd
"If the road rs promptly complet-
ed under the provisions Of the act
and certain proposed amendments I'LL
IS reasonable TO believe that time will
Justify the acts of those who may be
the medium Of maklns the boulevard
an actuality.
"Whilc the benefits which the state
of Delaware will derive from the con-
structiol of such highway throughout
the entire length Of the state may not
az this time be apparent TO some Il
is highly probable that those who In
al candor lay now be opposing the
proposition will be no less generous
with their appreciation when the work
is actually completed.
Relieving the amendments propos-
ed by the DUPONT Boulevard Corpora
tion as already published in the news
narers. are fair and reasonable,
anprov- of the Governor calling an
extra session OF the Legislature and
II the amendments are presented In
the form proposed I shall vote FOR
them
