loss of Constanza is of decisive impor-
tance as regards the military situation
in Dobrudja. The railroad line from
ConstanZa to Tchernavoda is already
partly in the hands of the allied Ger
mans, Turks and Bulgarians. East of
Murfatlar this line has already been
crossed by the attacking armies and
Won Mackensen's left wing is an
preaching the Tchernavoda. For these
reasons the section of the railroad be-
tween Murfatlar and Tchernavoda is
also apparently without value TO the
Rumanians. Thus the quick transport
OF troops and artillery to especially
threatened points of the Dobrudia
front is rendered impossible. Further
more, an excellent base of operations
has been taken from the Rumanians
and Russians.
The encircling movement by Teu-
tonic forces at Hermannstadt changed
the Pennsylvania adventure of the Ru-
manians into a speedy and complete
defeat. In the same way the capture
OF Constanza and the interruption of
railroad communication of the Ru-
msnians constitutes a decisive blow to
them in the Dobrudja theater. The
advance planned by the Rumanians
and Russians through Dobrudja against
the Bulgarians and the line of COM
munication between Sofia and Con-
stantinople has thus been frustrated"

USE CARE BUYING
CHILDREN'S SHOES
Should Never Be Purchased by
Arbitrary Standard
Sizes

"Children's shoes should never be
bought by the arbitrary size standard
set by the makers, that all children
of so many years have feet of such
a size" says Mrs. Jean Kane Foulke,
farm adviser on home economies for
the State Department of Agriculture
in bulletin for farmers families just
issued at the State Capitol. The size
of a child's foot may vary quite as
much in proportion to the child, as
one child may vary in size from an
other of the same age.
The number Of years a child has
lived has nothing to do with the size
of its feet and it is no uncommon
thing to find growing children with
feet grown out of all proportion to
the rest of their bodies. Fortunately
in most cases this corrects itself and
in few years the children will de-
velop and grow in comparison with
their overgrown pedal extremities."
IF children's shoes are bought
without being tried on or no measure
is taken of the foot that is to wear
them, the results are bound to be
disastrous. From snrancy many
children suffer from having TO wear
too narrow or too short shoes in
consequence. 1t is a great temptation
when baby is first shortened to put
on little white or light colored shoes.
The first size of course are right and
on they go, At first baby does not
mind for the little shoes are soft kid
with flexible soles and no weight is
put on the tiny feet, but presently the
little fellow wants to stand and walk
and what then? The little feet have
grown, the pressure of weight forces
them down and out and the dainty
little shoes-the first size, have begun
their deadly work. Baby's toes are
cramped and jammed until the shoe
tip gives way. Baby is cross and
irritable and nobody knows why! (Did
you ever wear a tight or narrow
shoe?) Father comes home some eve
ming with new pair of shoes again,
just babys size of course because
the man said that was the size an
eighteen months old baby ought to
wear.
"Mistreatment continues year after
year until when the school years ar
rive heavy strong shoes are bought
that will stand wear shoes with
boxed toes and stiff unbending soles
but still the right size (by age) for
John or Mary to wear-result, crook
ed toes, corns and bunions, ingrowing
toe nails, big toe joints and last, but
not least, heavy, ungraceful walk
and step, in nine cases out of ten. All
this and to say nothing of the results
of the nervous tension and strain the
child has been under often uncon-
sciously to itself but there neverthe-
less, because of the crowding and
actual twisting of its feet
when circumstances are such that
child cannot be taken to the store
and fitted then il should be made to
stand with its weight solidly on its
feet in stockings or barefooted on a
sheet of paper and an outline of the
foot should be drawn in lead pencil,
care being taken to hold the pencil
at right angles to the foot and not
allow it to slip under the curve of the
side. This will give the exact size,
length and breadth of the child's foot
and should be taken TO the store and
the size taken from 1t by which the
shoes are bought

the laboringmen are giving more con-
sideration to the larger issues than to
class issues. There Is a growing re-
altxation among them that Charles z.
Hughes said something when he re-
marked that the best friend of labor
was the friend of justice. They have
grasped the fact that national pros
perity is essential to individual pros
perity; that the present low tariff law
invited and brought n Hood OF imports
before the war and that it will leave
industry and wages unprotected after
the war.
He kept us out OF the war" makes
no social appeal to the workingman.
The latter knows that no president in
the history OF the country ever wanted
to go to war; that Charles e. Hughes
is more likely to preserve peace with
the firm foreign policy he favors than
Is President Wilson with his ever
changing policy.
There is no issue between peace and
war; there is an issue between a policy
that will protect American lives and
property abroad and policy that boldly
declares that protection ends at the
waters edge.
There is an Issue between an Ameri-
can market at the mercy of the highly
organized nations of Europe after the
war and and American market amply
protected and safeguarded by q tariff
that will equal the cost of production
at home and abroad.
Questions For the Voters
1t has lately been made plain to the
laboringnen OF the country as we'll as
the businessmen that the choice now Is
between an inefficient administration
and an efficient administration. between
a tariff for revenue only which produces
insufficient revenue and a tariff which
Will protect industry and wages; be-
tween heavy taxation and freedom from
taxation; between national weakness
and vsccilation and national strength
and resolute honor.
Senator Penrose said to-day that as
matters now stand the only way Wilson
could be reelected would be by captur-
ing New York.
And not even the Democrats expect
to do this.
Right here where all the political
prophets assemble IL is curious to note
that while the Democrats claim every
thing else they admit that 1t looks
pretty bad for them in New York. If
they were TO assemble in any other

The apathy of the present campaign

though eight out of ten are going to

the politicians and campaign managers.

Democratic National Committee, and
Chairman Wilcox. of the Republican
National COMMITTEES, are confident
Each side make large claims, Which
side deserves the greater credence can
be judged from the fact that Mr. Will
cox claims no Southern state for Mr.

syivania for Mfr. Wilson,
Party Lines Loosening
Reports have been received at both
headquarters indicating a loosening OF
party lines Tho Republican reports
show some detection from the Republi-
can ranks for Wilson: the Democratic
reports show some detection from the
Democratic ranks for Hughes.
Getting down to cases the Democrats
are relying almost entirely upon the
labor vote to re-elect Wilson. This has
been the one soft spot In the Republican
campaign. President Wilson and the
Democratic Congress surrendered 10 the
railway brotherhoods and gave them the
wage increase they demanded.

have been evidences that even organ

Kept us out of war is so obvious that
1t ought not to catch even the most
stupid. What we want is not a vacil-
lating and uncertain trucking to the
changing conditions of other countries
but policy so clearly cut and def
nitely announced and of world interest
as to make us loved at home and rev..
cred abroad. This attitude of the ad-
ministration is the only permanent and
potential safeguard of our permanent
peace and progress.
