Are French Heels GoingP

There is no doubt of the fact that
French heels are doomed for street
wear, but this does not mean that they
will not still be worn indoors. French
heels Were never really intended for
walking, and the wonder is that women
of good sense and good taste have for
so long been willing to follow the
vogue for high-heeled walking shoes.
The French heeled shoe undoubtedly
gained popularity because of the short
skirt and many persons have predict
ed that the sensible walking shoe
would not return to favor until the
short skirt had passed out of fashion.

Wide Striped Stockings.

Perhaps the newest thing in stock

inch to one and a half inches. These
stripes run vertically and made in
many colors combined with white. An

formed by what we should ordinarily
term a "run'-that is to say. the stripe
looks simply as if the up and down
threads of the stocking had been pulled
up and left only the threads crosswise.

Coal Promised Mills
Busy on War Orders

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.--Steel pl ants

an ample supply Of coal at a conference
Of REPRESENTATIVES OF the steel INDUSTRY
tc-day with fuel administration on :
cials. Some concerns, it was declared
are about to suspend because OF lacA
of the kind of coal they need.
To meet the situation the fuel ad-
miristration will modify the priority
order. under which large quantities OF
coal arc moving TO the Northwest, ana
divert TO steel plants by-produet coal
necessary for the production OF COKE;
The by-product coal is the only KIND
the steel mills can use for making
coke. while other kinds OF coal will do
as well for the Northwest.
II after the by-product coal Is di-
verted to the mills a shortage still is
threatened, the fuel administration
will supply plants according TO the
work they are doing for the govern
ment.
Most of tho larger steel concerns
produce their own coke. Those that
buy their supplies in the open market
are now paying S6 a ton for coke under
an agreement fixing steel prices
reached recently by steel producers
with the War Industries Board. The
fuel administration, under powers con-
ferred in ,he food act, will revise this
price at an early date, fixing probably
a lower figure.
