100000 SPIES IN AMERICA,
ONERMAN TELLS SENATE
Country Poorly Guarded, Says North
Carolinian in Urging
Espionage Bills

WASHINGTON, Feb. l9,--There are
100000 spies in the country, Senator Over
man, OF North Carolina, speaking for the
Administration, told the Senate today in
urging prompt passage of the spy and
conspiracy measures suggested by the De-
partment Of Justice. He said there was no
country in the world poorly protected
against espionage as the United States.
The fourteen laws urged by the Admnistra- 4
tion were not nearly as drastic, he eX-
planned, as the laws of other nations.
Overman made this statement after Sem
ator Cummns of Iowa, had offered four
teen amendments designed to modify radi-
cally espionage bills. Senator Cummins at
tackled the bills as an infringement upon
the individual rights of the American citi-
zens and as contrary to all American prin-
ciples
Senator Works, of California, supported
Cummings position. THE Czar of Russia
would turn green with envy II he could see
these measures" said Senator Works.
Senator Overman declared his intention
of keeping the Senate i'm session until mid
night II necessary to pass the measures
Senator Cummins declared II would be "at
least some hours before they We're passed .
'Is that threat?" demanded Overman
mo, only prophecy" retorted Senator
Cummns.

SEES BIG JUMP in PRICE
OF CHILDREN'S SHOES
Boston Man Tells Dealers Here
Increase Will Exceed That
on Adult Footwear

Children's shoes will advance in prices
higher in percentage than mems and
womens footwear, according to II. b.
Scates, Boston. Mass. who spoke today at
the third annual meeting Of the PennsylO
vania Shoe Retail Dealers Association.
The meeting opened today on the roof
garden of the Bellevue -Stratford. About 200
men identified with stores in this city were
present. Charles Il. Tryon, director Of
the Chamber of Commerce. in behalf of the
city and Chamber of Commerce, welcomed
the delegates
Mr. Tryon pointed out that about 200
retail shoe stores In Philadelphia sell
yearly $3.50, 900 pairs of shoes, or two and
one half pairs of shoes to each resident Of
this city.
Mr.. Scates predicted that the prices Of
shoes worn by children would go up because
more shoes were being made and sold for
the wear of children than for adults.
Mr.. Sactes advocate that owners of shoe
stores should adopt golden rule prac-
tice and operate that plan in cooperation
with their customers. He said that that
practice would help the owner as we'll as
the shoe buyer
He advocated that the upper part of
childrens shoes should be made of broad
cloth instead Of leather. and that shoes Of
that sort should be used by the youngsters
at play and that leather shoes for children
should only he worn by them at dress
affairs, because broadclOth was much
cheaper than leather
