SETS SHOE FASHION

Of England, Germany and France. and
American methods are standard for
the world.
American supremacy In shoemaking
is due largely to specialization.
Abroad an operative does half a
dozen different things; here he per-
forms one simple process. and here
also one factory makes one kind Of
shoes II large manufacturer makes
different kinds OF shoes he has Q
separate factory for each kind.
What a sight the modern shoe fac
tory would be to the primitive shoe
maker OF colonial days, who was an
itinerant workman, carried his tools
with him and stayed with each family
long enough to make up the farmers

shoes enough to last until his next
annual visit. His last was roughly

Backward Evolution In Foot Covering

clients In Walking Ability
Has Many Defects.

New York.-Everybody wears shoes
at least one size too small, 1t Is as
serted, and with toes too narrow.
This gives room for only the great toe
to grow and perform its functions,
but congresses the other toes until
the smallest one is a mere scrap. The
foot Of man should spread like an ami
mails paw with every step he takes.
This is impossible in a shoe which
''its" the foot
Walter G. Taylor, editor-in-chief OF
the Boot and Shoe Recorder, says:
1.-THE greatest waste in shoe buying
is one for which the consumer him.
self is largely responsible. It comes
through the buying Of shoes which
are poorly fitted"
We not only wear our shoes too
small and our heels too high. but we
allow fashion to influence US, ana
there is a constant demand for
change In style and material; a de-
mand which the manufacturers supply
abundantly." Mr.. Taylor says that It
would be worth millions. to the trade
and to the consumer II this could be
righted by a common sense view OF
our foot covering, OF course the
women are blamed for the greater
part Of this extravaganza, for dainty
foot has long been considered much
to be desired. Gradually shoes have
developed into things Of beauty mere
ly and we buy them with the thought
Of their appearance and not Of their
use In fact, Americans, as a rule
do not expect to walk great distances.
Il seems that the development OF
the shoemaker's art is In inverse ratio
to the development Of the foot. for
here in America our feet are notori'
ously undeveloped, and yet America
leads the world In the making OF
shoes. Almost everything else in the
way OF wearing apparel depends more
or less on foreign importations, but
America influences the shoe styles
