LAKE DISCREDITS TALE OF HARDSHIP
 IN SUBMARINE LIFE

That officers and men upon the sub marine squadrons of the United States are heroic and worthy of great com mendation was the observation today of Simon Lake, inventor of the sub marine, when commenting upon re- gently published articles dealing with so-cal1ed inconVenfences aboard that craft that do great injustice to the modern type of under-sea craft adopt ed by the government.
 While it is true that the earlier type of submarine used by this gov ernment was prone to sweat so that the clothing of the men was wet through in a few hours of sea travel, and they were inconvenienced with colds, when in northern latitudes,'' said the inventor yesterday, ''this feature is notstrue of the modern boat, which is entirely cork lined, and heated with electricity, when the gasoline engines are not capable of keeping the tenn perature normal
 tsIn fact, some years ago, with the heavy superstructure of>the Russian submarine models, the men much pre- ferred living the boats to their tenders. The ventilation systems are such today that they are kept free from all gases and noxious odors and fear that the source of informa- ton from which some metropolitan dailies have procured their articles are not authoritative ~or more likely had reference to the old type ot 1 submaines.''
 MT. Lake further added that the submarine service was one which United States navy officers and mer | eagerly sought.
 | Speaking of the occupations of mer i in submarines, the well known /au. thorfty said, that it was true they were more cramped in quarters than or l the average navy craft, let he wa. firmly convinced that they were bet ter housed on modern submarine; than on other torpedo craft.
 smoking said MT. Lake ''is no advisable owing. to the possibility O. free hydrogen gas, yet I have seer men smoke below decks It is no l permissible now under the govern
 nent ru1es.''

"Every Woman's Shoe Store" Opened With
 Pleased Patronage

A shoe store which caters parti- c,1iarly to women opened auspiciously ttis morning at 1206 Main street, di- rectlv opposite the Stratfield. It is called "Every Womans Shoe Store and included in it's stock is footwear for every occasion, fashioned after the latest styles and of all feathers and models.
 The store is one of a chain distri- o,1ting the product of a big New York rnanufac cturer. Because of the great volume of shoes marketed and the rapid changes of styles, making it necessary to close out large quantities of shoes at regular intervals, at a great sacrifice in price, this concern is enabled to offer shoes of standard value at much lower prices than the the shoes quickly, the manager of the

local store states that they will be closed out regardless of wholesale price. The first three hundred women who called at the store this morning and made purchases were presented with pairs of satin slippers valued at $3 a pair. The salesroon, which is up one flight of stairs. has been com plete1y refitted and refurnished.
 John T. Mccormick. who is well known in this city, is manager of the new concern and assisting him is an able selling force of clerks. MT. Me Cormick's long experience in the sell ing and retail ends of the shoe bust ness assure the success of his efforts as manag ger of the new store. It is said that every step toward Every woman's Shoe Store is a step toward a bargain.

Sir George Paish's Visit.
while matters were I'm this position
Sir George Paish, financial adviser 70
the British Chancellor Of tho Tx
chequcr, and Basil Blackctt, Of the
British treasury. came TO tho United
States, az the invitation Of Secretary
OF the Treasury McAdoo, and held
many conferences with bankers, with
members OF the Federal Reserve
Board and with the Stock Exchange
governors, looking TO the formation of
plan for meeting the heavy debt owed
England by the United States and OF
an arrangement whereby, Il possible,
there might be a simultaneous reopen
Ing OF the London and New York stock
exchanges. The conferences brought
no tangible results, and by the time
Sir George returned 10 England for
further instructions the necessity for
the plans had passed.
Trading through the Stock Exchange
Clearing House, though better than
nothing, proved cumbersome and un-
satisfactory. Prices in the outlswed
market in New ST.. as well as the
bids and offers at the Clearing House,
showed, too, early in December, that
the danger Of panic was gone and that

restoring trading TO the floor.
Stock Exchange Reopens.
On November 2S, after four months
Of idleuess, 10 was found feasible TO
open the Stock Exchange floor to bond
trading az fixed minimum prices based
on the closing figures of July 80. The
experiment was so successful that two
weeks later il was extended to large
number Of stocks under similar re-
striction. This in Turn proving sue
cessful, the number was enlarged two
days later TO include all listed stocks.
After the first enthusiasm trading
in stocks fell back into the dulness
that had preceded the war. Contrary
TO what had been feared, there has
been no pronounced liquidation for
Europe. although the minimum prices
lowered from time 10 time 20 conform
with the trend Of values being re-
tanned as a safeguard.
