INCREASED PRICE OF SHOES
Manufacturers Formulate Excuses
for Givinx Consumers
Squeeze.

Comparatively small items Of cost or
change in prices nowadays attract an
unwonted amount OF attention, for rea-
sons that ara well understood. Quite
little agitation is caused BY an advance
in the price Of shoes, either actual or
threatened, and manufacturers seem un-
usually anxious TO explain. The repre-
sentative of a Massachusetts, concern
states in a Boston trade publication that
the increased prices which shoe manu-
facturers are forced TO ask for their
goods are due to the radical change In
style, necessitatlng the incorporation OF
many new lasts and patterns" and to
the change In 'the statistical position Of
the raw material underlying the shoe and
leather industry"
Who Is responsible for the radical
change in STYLE" the wsarers or the
makers of shoes? There has been no re-
cent change in style that is an improve
| ment, either In the comfort or the looks
Of shoes, and no evidence can be adj
duced that anybody wanted such change
as has been made. For the most part II
has been in, the direction OF ugliness and
discomfort. Like most changes In style,
that in shoes has been intended to Induce
the discarding OF the old and the buying
Of new with each season. and SO to bene'
fit. not the consumer. but the producer
and trader. Sensible people buy theiI
shoes for ease and comfort and lasting
quality and not for style. There oughi

F0RTY.ElGHT STARS ON FLAG
stars for New states Added Con-
steiintion I'm the Field
of Blue.

Orders have been issued requiring all
flags of the United States, all unions ef
the national ensign and all union Jacks
to contain torty-slght stars because OF
the admission on February II Of Arizona
as state. The order Of the stars as
arranged by the Navy department ard
approved by the president will be six
rows Of eight stars each. with the CORE
spending stars Of each row In a vertical
line. This makes the new flags contain
two additional stars. no change having
been made last year for the admission
Of New Mexico. Instead Of rearranging
the stars or laying in an entire new
supply Of flags II was decided at that
time to await the admission Of Arizona

Few Of us are as thankful As We should
be for our country's flag, the most beau

its red end white stripes and starry field
Of blue has been the theme and inspira-
ton of poem and hymn Washlngton's
birthday brought out many flags. To
those who had the time or the inclination
TO watch them as they broke IN a fash

tell US Of the courage the colors gave.
