foreign trade in shoes has increased
600 per cent during the last fifteen
years"
Mr.. Cahill spoke in detail of the ideal
shoe evolved by the army. He said
that the length of foot should be
measured in ST. aight line passing
through the center of the big toe and
the center of the back of the heel. and
that this line, known as the Meyers
line, should not be distorted by the
shoe. He said the army provides that
shoes must be two sizes larger than the
measurement of the foot of the soldier
with the weight upon it.
The lecturer declared the war in
Europe is boosting the foreign trade
in shoes wonderfully. Since the out
break of the war more than 100000
pairs of shoes have been exported from
the United States to the belligerent
nations. There now are orders on hand
for the furnishing of 100000 pairs. If
the war continues another year. more
than 100000 additional pairs will be
required. The average life of shoe in
the war zone is six weeks, Mr.. Cahill
stated.
