FEET GROWING LARGER.

Women's feet are growing larger, &C
cording to the concensus OF opinion
among those attending the National
Shoe and Leather fair, IN Boston,
where shoemen from all over the coun-
try are meeting.
The character of work done by wo-
men tends to make their feet larger,
according to the dealers. The demand
for larger sizes is noted both by man
ufacturers and retailers. Some have
word of defense for woman's beauty,
saying that the larger sizes are due
more to desire for comfort and to the
prevailing long styles, but the great
majority of the men and women deal
ers at the convention are firmly OF the
opinion that the feminine foot is larger
than it was few years ago.
In spite of this, the footwear Is De,
coming more elaborate. Predictions
were freely made at the fair that ala-
monds would be worn on shoes. An
klets are in fashion and the dance
craze is given as one cause OF the de-
mand for greater pedal ornamentatlcn

MODERN DAY THRlFT.

There are many people who hold the
opinion that men In business are aDle
to sit idly by and watch the profits roll
in. Such is not the case for tile Keen
connection that is feature OF the
present age has made profit making a
task for any man and it requires sharp
wits and attention to details to make
Investments pay. The man that is
making good is the man that is plug
eing up every little leak through which
his revenues are going out. Thrift ap-
plies In business just as much as IN
the household and the man who has
not learned the secret of saving would
not make good If given million dol
lars and told to invest it in business
to be run by himself. An illustration
of the little ways in which successful
business managers work is the follow
ing. A firm that supplies features for
newspapers has always in the past
mailed out its bills once week and
returned the receipts as fast as the
bills were paid.
That meant two stamps each week
or four cents. This firm Is now return
ing it's receipt whenever possible In
patches of two or three, thereby saw
ing one or two stamps. That means
a saving of two or four cents week.
That two CT four cents that Is saved
represents just thistle difference be-
tween success and failure in business,
for it shows that the firm is not losing
any chance to save money and Is not
overlooking any little detail that means
increasing the interest on the invest
ment
After all the secret of success in lit
tie business or big business is just
thrift.

Paul E. Stillman, temporary chair
man at the republican state convention
hit the nail right on the head when he
said in his stirring speech that wheth-
er or not the present depression was q
psychological one the fact remained
that the suffering that resulted from
it is not psychological. 1t may be that
business men just imagine that the
new tariff or something else is hurting
business, but it is not Imagination
when thousands Of workers find them
selves without employment by which
to earn bread and butter.

Rack east in Philadelphia there ar

Back east in Philadelphia there are
some three thousand street railway
employes who are so ambitious and so
confident of their own abilities that
they voted to treat with their employ
ers as individuals rather than as
combination. Looks like these men
felt sure Of getting the best wages to
be paid because of their ability to earn
them. The men who have done the
most harm to unions are the ones that
look upon them only as means to
force a raise in wages.
