SHOE wEARERs PAY.

Hide Shortage and Army Denaad
Create Higher Footwear Prices.
A side-effect OF the far-away war that
interests every man, woman and child is
the announcement that shoes must this
season advance In price. The generally
reported scarcity OF leather, and the in
creased cost OF tanning since the ear.
combined with an enormously increased
demand for leather, account for the cd
vanced cost OF footwear.
Millions OF pairs of shoes for the Faro
pean armies are being made by American
shoe manufacturers. On the average,
these army shoe consume one and one
half % much leather - the average Ameri-
can mans shoe. Knspsacks, saddles, hsr-
nesses and other material for the armies
1t war and general increase in equipment
OF the American army and state militia
account for . still further demand ON the
none too large supply Of leather.
Munition plants have called for thous-
ands OF feet OF leather betting, and
var orders have started thousa nds Of
factories wheels and greatly augmented
the call for betting. Autos have also
made great and increasing inroads into
the available leather supply for upholster-
ing.
Leather IL . by-product. The supply
cannot be increased ct will, a. crops and
metals are, bat ~ dependent on the hide
supply; and cattle are not killed, pri-
marily, for their hides. The latest census
reports show that the number Of cattle
has decreased 20 per cent in the last ton
years, while the population has increased
the same percentage.
Shoes, therefore, will be more expensive.
1t 10 said that the increase for the present
will be about 20 per cent, but will likely
be more by next fall.
