"STOP THE Skirts"
Shoe Manufacturers Fear Descent of
Dresses This Year

Boston, April 3.-"Visible feet" the
greatest asset of the makers of foot
wear, are going out of style as longer
skirts come into fashion.
The men of New England's great
shoe industry are rushing to the col
ors. Keep 'em short" is their slogan.
Not merely from an artistic viewpoint
do they desire that miladys feet and
ankles be exposed. Once the curtain
is dropped fancy shoes cease to be a
necessity.
The best advertisement shoe men
have for their wares is a slender.
shapely ankle, snugly shod. The Boot
and Shoe Record sounds a warning
note when 1t says:
ITO keep feet prominently displayed
is the one big thing for the trade to
do Skirts are coming down and some
thing must be done to stop the de-
scent"

Most Spectacular Blaze OF

HISTORY Building in Flames
Before Thousands Spectators.

New York April 3.-A serious fire
broke out in the down town section of
the city early this afternoon. At
O'Clock it had destroyed two five-story
buildings on Beekman street, occupied
by paper concerns. and had spread to
an old History skyscraper at the cor
ner of Nassau and Beekman and
threatened it with destruction. Three
alarms were turned in.
Shortly after 2 O'Clock all tenants
were ordered out of the 20-story sky
scraper, known as the NasSau-Beek-
man building and occupied by the New
York Sun. The building was at that
time seriously threatened by flames.
Under Control at 2:3O p. NJ.
The fire was one of the most spec
tacular witnessed in the downtown
district in many years. Roofs of sky
scrapers were crowded with spectators
and huge crowds damned the streets,
requiring all available police reserves
| in the lower part of the city to ham
die them.
Fire department officials announce
at 2:30 O'Clock that the fire was I'M
der control and would be confined TO
the two destroyed buildings with some
damage to the history building at
Mas sau and Beekman streets. Most
of the tenants in the Sun building
stayed in their offices in spite of the
danger. 1t was estimated that the
damage would amount to 100000.
