SOUVENIRS TO MARK
STORES INNOVATION

Dainty and attractive vanity cases
containing mirrors and powder puffs
will be distributed as souvenirs to
purchasers of women's and girls
footwear at the Newark Shoe stores
in Washington tomorrow.
Distribution OF the souvenirs will
be one of the features OF the inaug-
uration OF a new policy by the New
ark Shoe Stores Company, that of add
ing moderate priced shoes for wom-
en- and girls to its already well-estab-
lished brand OF mems footgear.
The announcement doubtless will
prove highly interesting to Washing
ton women in view OF the company's
statement that It believes $3.50 or
$3.50 is enough TO pay for shoes for
women, and its decision to place on
sale in its stores shoes at those
prices. The company invites compari-
son OF its charming styles and beau
tiful models with shoes quoted at
prices ranging from IS to SIS a pair.
The Newark Shoe Stores Company
is a gigantic Institution supplying
shoes to more than 5000, 900 men and
women through its own 257 stores in
ninety-seven cities. Such a tremen-
dous output cuts down the cost OF
production and distribution and elm
mates middlemen's profits, the bene-
fits OF which are to be derived by the
company's customers.
The remarkable success of the New
ark shoes for men is regarded as
ample assurance that women's shoes
at sensible prices will fill q long-felt
want, and prove popular.

INSURANCE men WANT
BILL LIMITED To WAR

The real objection of the insurance
companies to the war Insurance bill
is not to the compensation features,
but to the fact that the bill does not
ernment will be limited to the war
period. That is, there is nothing in
the bill TO say new Government IN
surance will not be issued when the
war Is over.
This is brought out in a statement
by George Ide, chairman OF the in
surance committee appointed in New
York last month.
Mr.. Ide holds that part OF the bill
should be passed, but that the op-
tional insurance feature should be
dropped from the bill.

NEW YORK. Aug. 31.-T will COM
NIT suicide IL my husband Is sent to
war" Mrs. Margaret Mckay Rayback,
a bride of six weeks, declares to the
district board which passes upon all
appealed military exemption claims.
The young woman, who is only
twenty, interrupted the boards meet
ing in the Federal building to beg for
the exemption of Henry w. Rayback,
her husband. a teacher in public
school 11O. She brought with her a
note from the members of local ex-
emption board 134 in which they said
that they would have allowed her
husbands claim for exemption had
they fully understood the circum-
stances surrounding her married life.
MY family have refused to speak
to me since I married" she cried
'T can't possibly go back to them.
and 1 can't work" --.-
Because their marriage had taken
place after the passage Of the select
i've conscription law. however. her
husbands application was denied. and
when she persisted in pleading she
was quietly taken from the room. She
still hopes the board members may
reconsider her husbands case.
When the session was over some OF
the members commented upon Mrs.
Rayback's plea.
1--WE are living in a very unfortu-
nate time" one said; "it is an hour Of
suffering and sacrifice, and tragedy is
attendant upon every case where
man is taken from those to whom be
is dear. yet II must be done. In war
time we are obliged to put sentiment
aside"
Thirty war bridegrooms were
among those whose claims were re-
jected.

coMPos111oN ON PANTS.

The small boy who wrote the
following composition ON pants
may some day edit a country
paper;
Pants are made for men and
not for women Women are made
for men and not for pants When
a man pants for a woman, and a
woman pants for a man, they are
a pair of pants. Such pants don Z
last. Pants are like molasses -
they are thinner in hot weather
and thicker in cold. Men are
often mistaken in pants; such
mistakes are brooches of promise
There has been much discussion
whether pants is singular or
plural. Seems to us when men
wear pants it is plural and when
they don't wear any pants 1T IS
singular. Men go on a tear In
their pants, and it is all right;
when the pants go on a tear IT Is
all wrong. If you want to make
pants last, make the coat first
