Wear HIGH Shoes
IS FASHION Dictate
Lows Will be Out Of
Style After September
Twenty-third
PHYSICIANS
ENDORSE THE PLAN

Not content with assuming dicta-
torial attitude over whether man may
wear straw bat or not after Septem-
Der 10, fashion has now come forward
with the dictum th.t low shoes must 90
next week. and TO be properly shod men
as well as women must appear in high
shoes So the shoe merchants are pre-
pairing their stocks to the best advan-
tage and anticipating big influx of
business next week, when low shoes will
90 out Of style.
September 23 has been set as the ofii-
cial day for putting on tine gipsy button
or lace for milady. and the clothtop Eng.
lsh or other style for mere man. But
weeks grace is allowed. time enough
TO make a selection which will be pleas
ing to the taste, an din line with the
contents Of the pocketbok
Snoe dealers have the physicians
on their side in this demand that men
and women change from low TO high
footwear. and decl2re that there are
logical reasons for hhe decree. based
on health. Exposing the ankles in
cold weather is responsible for many
OF the ailments common to the fall
and winter season. they say. The
nerves leading from the ankle are far
more sensitive than the average per-
son imaglnes and these sensitive
nerves are very susceptible to sud
den changes Of heat and cold.
Rheumatism. severe colds and
sometimes even pneumonia, result
from wearing low cuts too late in the
fall season.
Many will make the change from
reasons Of appearance It does not
look we'll to put on a new fall suit
coat and hat and finish the costume
with pair Of low cuts that have evil
IDENTIFY been doing service most of the
summer The women, especially
who are wearing short. wide skirts
will don new high boots for this rea-
son.
But most folks will change because
their own cOmfc't suggests it, One can
never tell At { A. season Of the year
when a chilly blast will come around
the corner and set the ankles shiver-
ing So for more reasons than one
person wearing low shoes after
September 30 will feel distinctly
"outre." as they say in novels. How
ever. there will no doubt be a few of
both sexes who will persist in cling
ing to the low shoe fad until snow
compels a change 10 high shoes, but
these will be fewer this fail than ever
because fashion has stepped in and
decreed that low shoes will be taboo
after next week.
Local merchants are making elab-
crate preparations to usher in High
Shoe Week or "Skidoo Week" Sep.

All the stores will be prepared with

CONDUCTING SERVICES
AT TRINITY CHURCH

With six conversions last night and
large audience al all the services,
the evangelistic meetings being con
Quoted at Trinity NJ. f. Church by the
Rev. T. II. Harrison of Nashville,
Tenn, the preacher engineer. are
meeting with wonderful scccess. To
night the evangelist will preach on "A
Scene in Heaven" Tomorrow night
his subject will be "The Story of the
Rails and Friday night The Curse
of Whiskey."
Mr. Harrison is an engineer on the
Nashville. Chattanooga and St. Louis
Railroad. who, since he was admit
ted 10 the ministry. was granted an
indefinite leave of absence by the rail-
road The only engine in the world
ever christened with a prayer runs
on this road and is said to be the fast
est locomotive in the country. Mr..
Harrison christened the engine
Marie" and it is the pride OF the
road
Mr.. Harrison has pictures in colors
OF this mammoth engine christened
with prayer. which he Is selling with
the proceeds from which he proposes
TO erect a new church in Nashville
Tenn. He has already sold a number
of them since he started his cam
paign here last week and today a
! prominent business man. when the
purposes of the proposed church were
/ explained to him, gave Mr.. Harrison
, a check for $50 for one Of the pic
lures.
The engineer-evangelist has been
pastor of the Adams street Presby-
terian Church, Nashville. for six
years. and he proposes to build new
church for the congregation. About
year ago Mr.. Harrison and his wife
organized a boys club in connection
with their church work. They enrolled
young boys who. while not vicious,
we're boys who were generally in
trouble with the police because they
we're on the streets and had no other
place to 20. The membership OF the
club is now 5S and all but eight OF
them are members Of the club. The
boys have developed into excellent
characters in most Instances under
the guidance Of MIR. and Mrs. Harri-
son.
Seeing the great work tnat coulu
be done along this line, Mr.. Harrison
decided to enlarge it and it is for this
reason that he is working for new
church. These boys are Of the class
he stated today. who cannot ne
reached by the Y NJ. c. A. for many
reasons. principally among these rea-
sons being lack OF funds.
In the new church. which is to cosl
about $1,000. a clubroom will be pro
vided for boys and also one for girls
There will also be free clinic Th'
police department OF the city is work
ing in conjunction with Mr.. Harrison
and many boys who get into trouble
are turned over to him to be made
members of the club. and it is very
rare that the boys fail to live up t'
the rules of the club.

.RICH MAN. POOR MAN.-

II is a well-known fact that the
movies have made sad inroads on the
speaking stage and the manager is
brought TO full realization Of It when
he starts TO cast play and almost in
variably finds that the people he
wants are actually under engagement
or are considering an offer from some
screen producer. And the salaries
paid by the pictures make competition
impossible. True. the actor generally
returns to the speaking stage. Some
times il is because the lure OF the
footlights Overcomes the lure OF the
dollar and. sometimes il IL because
The actor realizes that success on the
stage enhances his value on the screen
and he accepts part In a play he
thinks he will make good II Is foI
this last reason that John T. Bowers
and William b. Mack gave up pictures
to appear in George Broadhursts new
play. Rich Man. Poor Man" They
believe it will succeed and Whining
ton Will have the opportunity of con-
firming their judgment when Rich
Man. Poor Man" appears at The
