Death knell Sounded
For the Oxford Shoe

Did you hear ''the bells' last night?
The official death knell Of the oxford
an dthe low cut shoe in general. has
sounded. Today is the day for the old
bootees. Dame Fashion has determined
to lay another heavy hand upon her
helpless devotees. and henceforth when
October ! rolls around she will sound
the sundown gun for the low cuts"
As yet the small boy has not fully
grasped the idea. or the opportunity for
springing his tormenting humor. but
there we're many on the job to make life
miserable with sibilant "Blooie! Blooie!'
for those who forgot, or who We're re-
strained by the potent cause Of the high
cost Of living.
With the straw hat and other dis
cards. evidently the oxford shoe Is to be
drummed out October 1 of each year.
Shoe stores all over the city are
crowded today by those who apparently
waited for an inevitabl reminder. Shoe
sales probably exceeded any other Oc-
tober business on record in the WASH
ington stores.

NEW LECTERN SHOWN
ON PEACE SUNDAY
EpiscopaIians Will See Gift to
Cathedral on the Day of
Prayer.

Episcopalians in the vicinity of Wash
ington are making special plans for next
Sunday. as "A Day of Intercession for
Peace and Pardon" in accordance with
the proclamation of President Wilson.
They will gather around the Peace
Cross" at Mt St Alban. in the close
OF the great new Episcopal Cathedral
being built at the Capital, when the
Presidents proclamation will be read
and a new prayer for the President
and all those in authority will be sald
The Marine Band will furnish the music
for the occasion. in addition to great
choir which will sing around the Peace
Cross" erected in 1898, in the cathedrai
close, to commemorate the end OF the
war between the United States and
Spain, and the beginning Of the Nation
al Cathedral. A special prayer VIII De
said for the wounded on the European
battlefields and in hospitals and for
those who minister to them.
Visitors to the Cathedral next Sun
day will have their first opportunity
to see the new lectern, presented by
W. Kesley Schoepf, of Cincinnati. and
regarded as one Of the handsomest
pices of wood carving ever made In the
United States. 1t is in dark oak ac-
cording to the design OF Henry
Vaughan, of Boston.
The Iectern cost $500 1t is a token
of the interest which Mr.. and Mrs.
Schoepf have taken in the National Ca
thedral at Washington. 1t has oeen
placed in the Bethlehem Chapel which
Is now in use.
The Iectern has two faces. One side
is to be used as a rest for the Blole
and the other may be used as cnapei
pulpit. The top revolves so that eltner
side may be used. There are four sioes
TO the pedestal, each containing wood
carvings The four sides represent the
so-called Lambeth Quaorilateral which
some years ago was set forth by the
Episcopal Church as basis lor tne
reunion OF Christendom. The hrst SIDE
shows the figure of The Angel with
Bible, which represents the word SCRIP
tura," which stands for the prlnclpie
of the ultimate authority of the Bible
in matters of Christian belief.
The second side shows the figure OF
the Angel Gabriel. who announced the
'Sgmbolum. which stands for the
principle that the Apostles and the
Nicene creed are a sufficient statement
of the Christian faith.
The third side shows The Angel
with the Flaming Sword" representing
the word ''Mysteriun." which stands
for the principle of the two sacraments
ordained by Christ, namely, Baptism
and the Lords Supper.
The fourth side shows the Archangel
Michael. the leader of the heavenly
hosts. and represents the word ''OrdO-"
which stands for the principle of definite
organization under the historic episco-
pate.
