huence. And then. quite recently, some
one made a great discovery.
why, here are women's Shoes" he or
she exclaimed. Here are from sixty
square inches to 200 square inches that
are horribly plain. Let us see what we
can do to liven them up"
For years shoes have been simply
shoes. They have been made in prac-
tically one way. in either black or tan
leather, and every shoe has looked more
or less like every other shoe.
But Immediately after the discovery OF
their possibilities the shoes Of last Fall
blossomed out into a variety OF colors.
There were green shoes and blue shoes
and red shoes, and combinations Of all
colors In shoes.
Working on this line the shoe design
ers became more and more ambitious.
The fruits of their labors are beginning
to show in the windows,
Most of the new shoes are made Of
costly and heavy fabrics. Upon this
fabric-some OF them velvet, some Of them
silk-are embroidered intricate and beau
tiful designs. These designs run the
gamut from flowers 10 NEUROLOGICAL
monsters. The embroidery IN some cases
covers the shoes, including even the
heels themselves. Other shoes are en-
crusted with semi-precious stones. Others
are curiously woven with ribbons. The
whole effect is nothing of the shoe as we
know it, with the exception OF the shape.
Their prices range anywhere from $40
up to $500 pair. In some the embroid-
lie suh hot hn n
ton Of the skirts in walking will make 1t
look old after few days of wear.
But this is not the only thing that will
encourage women to buy the new shoes, "
said a manufacturer. "A woman who
can AFFORD to buy $3.50 pair of shoes is
the kind OF woman who does not want
TO wear the same dress more than half a
dozen times. The shoes are Just as dis.
tinetive as the most distinctive dress

and. therefore, come within the range of
things that one cannot be seen In too
often without suspicion of perjury or pow
erty. This new fad is going to be a
great boon to the shoemakers. II has
come to stay. People will never go back
to the same old plain Jane shoes again.
and SO the shoe shop will before long
rival the most exclusive milliner's or
dressmakers' establishment"
Stockings, sharing the new life OF the
shoes, have become most extraordinarily
dressed up" A few samples Of some
of the newest styles are shown on this
page, together with a pair OF embroid-
cred shoes. One Of the most curious
phases of the stocking fad for the Spring
will be the child's Sock" or expensive
lace. It's top will reach half way to the
knee and there will be a very wide and
very expensive and very dainty lace
parachute" The models of this stock
ing call for mo stockings from the para

crosses and so forth, This is admittedly
an extreme style, especially when II is
taken In combination with the short
skirts which are coming in.
Another interesting new stocking Is
called the "May.pole." These stockings
have a dozen or so imitation pearls OF
semi-precious jewels sewn around the
calf Real pearls can be used II 1t is de
sirable. These stockings, with the
stones in gayly colored ribbons, each one
ending in an artistic, jewelled pendant
cost anywhere from twenty dollars VI
into the hundreds.
Still another style as elaborate is "The
Lovers" Of embroidery sewn into the
silk. The ends of the ribbons fall almosi
down to the ankle. These knots offer q
large field for fancy decoration and ex-
penditure.

THB newest and most expensive
fashion fads that have evolved this
close-to-Spring season are the
Dressed Up" shoes and stockings. While
stockings began year ago to be more
than merely covering of shapely legs,
shoes have just come into their own. The
stockings, however. keeping pace with
the shoes, are blossoming out into the
most extraordinary ornamentation and
establishment.
The new Dressed Up" shoes are en-
broidered from heel to toe, and from sole
to the very tip of the upper. Some Of
them, besides being embroidered, are
iewelled. Others are hand-painted. Still
others are made up OF different colored
strips of expensive and heavy fabrics.
The whole intent is to make the shoe "a
thing of beauty" and take it out of the
sordid, commonplace, unitarian paths
that it has trod for practically centuries.
The re-discovery of the shoe as a dec
grafton will probably be like the discov-
cry of gold mine, 80 far as the shoe
makers and shoe sellers are concerned.
The expensive ornamentation of women
has been increasing steadily throughout
the last twenty years. Dresses have be-
come stranger, more elaborate, and what
someG have termed "frenSied" Stock.

Horse Racing Proves POpu.
lar-Attendance Good
Throughout

Sylacauga, October 2S.-(Special)-The
! Talladega County fair closed tonight aft
er enjoying one of the most successful
I runs in the history of the organization.
The entire fair was a great success. The
attendance was excellent, people coming

exhibits which, in the opinion of many,
were the best ever offered at a county
fair in this section of the state.
An average of 5000 people attended the
fair each day. Horse racing was tried by
the officials this year, and it proved to
be one of the biggest drawing cards on
the grounds The results of today's races
were: Josh Hal won the 2:25 pace with
Bill Warrenton second and Black Man
third. The time was 2:15. The free-for-
all trot was won by Rex Leland with
Little Don second and Blue Boy third.
Time was 2:l5
Two accidents married the closing OF
James Pruett. a 137year-old white boy
was run down by a negro driving an
automobile and seriously injured. He suf-
fered two broken ribs and broken leg.
Another car, driven by Buster West
collided with an automobile owned by
j. w. Richards Both cars were prac-
tlcally demolished, but occupants escaped
uninjured.
Officials of the fair are already begin
ming to formulate plans for the fair next
year which they hope to make the great
est in the entire state.

ELEVATOR BOY PROVES
TO BE A CHESTERFIELD
Bill Calhoun Wanted a Shift-There
Was No Doubt About 1t

Bill Calhoun, after operating an ele-
vator in a swell Birmingham apartment
all night, couldn't sleep In the day. This
he was determined that a recital of his
plight should not worry his boss. Now
more than seven pounds loss from his
sturdy brown frame could be traced to
this failing, and while it did not ruffle
his disposition or alter his love for his
job, that was a series of ups and downs,
Bill was not going to seem dissatisfied.
when he appealed to his employer-the
rental agent for the apartment-for re-
lief. =
So, with a suavity that would place him
in high rank in the first diplomatic cir
cles in the Congo Free State, Bill framed
UP an appeal. The brown Chesterfield,
after the customary SALVATION of Dear
Mr.. NJ wrote:
'While operating one of your passenger
elevators for about two years, I am very
glad to say that am very proud to say
that I am very much contented with my
job and cannot thank you enough for the
way you have dealt with me.
Il also thank Mr.. 1.-The superintend-
ent)-for employing me. Now. speaking
of the present shift of elevators: First,
I am here to work and give my very best
service, which do as best I can, to take
interest in my job, which l am greatly
pleased in doing.
Mr. Nj, there is another change
that I wish to ask for, if it is satisfac-
tory with you and Mr.. l., and that is
to change me back on the day shift as
before. like to work at night; In fact,
l prefer to work at night; but it seems
almost impossible for me to sleep in the
tday, while on the night shift, and have
also lost weight to the amount of seven
and half C1I pounds. while on night
shift When I first began to work on
night shift I thought I would easily train
| myself to sleep in the day; unfortunately,
I have failed or am falling, to do so.
'Since Tom the other elevator boy)
has fortunately trained himself to sleep
in the day and has for years worked at
night, and is able to do so by sleeping
in the day. I hope 1t will be agreeable
with you to change me to day shift.
Thanking you in advance for the same,
and think Tom and should be thank
full even to have you interested in us.
I will answer for both OF US: We are
thankful for everything you do for us.

PROPOSITION OF KOHN

Frank D. Kohn, banker and real estate
dealer of Montgomery, struck a respon-
sive chord from the board in making the
statement that he, the representative of
about a half-million acres of farm lands
in central Alabana, consisting chiefly
of large plantations would make the
proposition that if the bank were located
here and the funds made available, the
big farms would be split up and sold
to settlers one-fourth cash, the farm bank
taking a first mortgage for so per cent of
the value, and the seller taking second
mortgage for the remaining % per cent.
He stressed the necessity of breaking up
the large plantations into small tracts
available to prospective settlers.
"Mr Kohn. we are much indebted to
you for this statement. as 1T is prob
ably the most important matter we
will have to deal with tonight" said
Chairman Norris. 81 will ask you to
amplify your statement" In reply Mr.

countered in developing the larger
