The French idea of shoes, with straps
over the instep to keep them secure,
has at last appealed TO American
women.
New York, July 9.-Shoes that slip
ped off the heel and made the wearer
stumble, slippers that had to be tied
on with ribbon if one would dance,
pumps that had to be padded with
chamois at the back and then held
on by a heel strap of elastic, have
been the diScomfortS of the American
woman for ten years.
After the method of dancing at ev-
cry leisure hour of the day and eve
ming was fully established in this
country, the manufacturers of shoes
attempted to bring out a vast variety
of slippers which would suit the re-
quirements of those who insisted that
their feet be well shod when dancing.
Turnout the century or more of
ordinary dancing, no woman asked
for more than good looking slip
per, but when the modern style of
dancing not only became the fashion,
but developed at a fast and furious
pace, into a passion, women asked for
slippers that would remain on the
foot. What is known as ragtime dane
ing, demanded security in a shoe as
well as style.
The Woman Who Walks.
While the manufacturers of dane
ing slippers were able to conquer that
serious defect in any shoe-the slip
ping at the heel-by means of the

TO HELP
sfee To Assist Merchants in
War Economy Plan.
Th9ry Your Package Home"
Campaign Is Planned.

The women of Topeka will assist
the merchants in curtailing unneces-
sary operating expenses during the
period of war, according to represen-
ltatFyes of the Woman's club which
rnetsSyith merchants at a noon lun-
cheon at the Chamber of Commerce.
These Representatives stated that not
Dnkr were they in favor OF such econ
omfes but they have promised their
assfztanc in populariZing, Carry your
paekage home
Under request from the national
council of defense, the merchants of
'Topeka are discussing methods of war
time economy. The first attack made
pm fpPesent methods was on the serv-
|lceEof free and special deliveries made
BY Every store in the city.
Merchants Asked Co operation.
Faaring that to abolish free deliv-
cry 81 to establish a system of zones
for ,basing delivery charges would
meet with disapproval of the women
.end men buyers of Topeka, the ner-
Tcnasstmen have started by asking the
WOMEN to cooperate in the move.
As the proposition now stands, ac-
|eording to this request, charges will
DE made for delivery. Prices will be
'baselso on a "carry-it-home" basis, an
Iextrd charge being made for delivery.
A second method suggested by the
'HeI cndnlS ana women IN tnelf noon
session was to charge for all deliver
|fes below a certain price, the charge
ITO be based on the distance of the
buyer from the store Under this
plan special deliveries would be paid
by the consumer and not by the store.
IA third plan was to cut the deliveries
.of Merchandise to one delivery a day,
lthus cutting the expense more than so
'pefSScent.
s. Women VIII Agree.
The Woman's club was represented
by Mrs. D. L. McEachron, Mrs. G. G..

So Declares Attorney for
McInerny-W Wants to Stop
Use Of Evidence.
Asks Court to Prevent State
Using knowledge Gained
Therein.

~. EAFNrN OH
Preliminary proceedings in the case
growing out of the recent raid on the
East Grand Forks brewery were held
in the Office of Judge Phil Mclaughlin
this afternoon, when George A. Bangs,
attorney for the defendant, j. HI. Nc
Inerny and the brewery officials, de-
manded that the state of North Da-
kota, rs represented by Assistant At
torney Generals Bronson and Bren-
nan, be restrained from making use
of knowledge derived from private
books and records seized in the raid,
Mr. Bangs made 1t clear that the
mere return of the material which he
thinks illegally seized will not satisfy
his clients. He demanded an, order
signed whereby the state would be
compelled to return also all copies
made Of the books, papers and rec
ords, and he asked the court to make
1t impossible for the state to use in
formation gained from these.
Judge Mclaughlin finally con-
sented to grant the return and said
that before he would be willing to
order the attorneys representing the
state to refrain from making incrim-
mating use of the material indicated
he would prefer to have such an order
drawn up and formulated.
The hearing therefore was con-
