WHY YOUR SHOES COST MORE
THAN THEY EVER DID BEFORE
All Raw Materials and Skilled Labor Are Hard
to Obtain Because of Unprece-
dented Conditions.

United States. This country mas
been unable to obtain anything slike
enough kid and calfskin to meet the
rising demand. Germany, percetving
the Importance of conserving its
supply of cattle, set an example IN
prohibiting the killing OF calves.
which has been followed by others of
the belligerent nations.
Unwonted Prosperity.
Their demand for the products of
the United States brought unwonted
prosperity to this country. A rising
and extraordinary demand for leather
for consumption in this country fol
lowed in its wake. The phenomenal
expansion in the manufacture of au-
tomobiles meant a phenomelan in
creaes in the use of leather.
The rapid wearing out of appli-
ances consequent upon the running
of mills night and day and the cree
ton of new mills compelled the con-
sumption OF leather as never before
in provision of betting that trans
mits the power of the stationary en-
CINE to the machine.
There was the Necessity for re-
plenishing the shoes that had been
worn beyond repair. When everyone
had found employment wages had be-
gun to rise, and money to become
plentiful; everybody bought new
shoes and different kinds of shoes.
Fashion Helps Out.
On top OF all this came the fashion
Of short skirts for women, which
brought the wearing of shoes with
high tops. A good part of the atten-
ton that women had given to their
headgear came to be devoted to their
footgeAr.
They have required shoes of one
color to match a gown of that color
and shoes of another color to match a
grown of that color just at the time
when goatskins have become obtain
able only in diminished quantities
calfskins no longer procurable from
Europe and the dyes needed to give
uppers the desired colors cannot be
imported from Germany.
The European demand for leather
due to the war has acted as a mighty
suction, drawing hides and skins fror-
other countries and tanned leather
from the United States in unprece-
dented quantities.
hoFSc hi0c SnOcB.
Because of the diminishing supply
in relation to the demand for con
sumption in the United States soIes of
shoes have been made in larger meas
ure sof leather from the hide of the
horse, and this has been used to an ex-
tent in the vamps.
There has been an extending use for
vamps of the thicker and heavier
leather made of the hides of cattle,
and to an increasing degree calf has
been used instead OF kid for uppers.
The skin of the sheep Is also be-
ing used not only for the facing of
shoes but in many cases for the up-
pers, Notwithstanding its lack of dur
ability.
The warning nations, moreover, are
using the skin of the sheep with the
wool on in coats made for the wear
of their soldiers. Therefore 1t is that
sheepskin for ladies' purses and other
delicate articles of use and ornament
is scarce.
There is no reason to wonder that

AN IMAGINATION STORY

Today our teacher asked US to
write a story suggested to US by
these lines:
I watch the slow flakes as they fall
On bank and brier and broken wall
Over the orchard waste and crown
All noislessly they settle down
Tipping the apple boughs and each
Light quivering twig of plum and
peach.
This Is what l see:
I see big white fleecy flakes of
snow. slowly drifting down from
the cold gray skies falling on a
great gray stone castle. relic of
many centuries ago. covering the
brown leafless ivy vines clinging to
the cold gray skies falling on a
they look like long white slender
fingers reaching about on the wall.
They cover the high hill that rises
back Of the castle. They fall on
the wild thorny rose bushes and on
the prickly thistles that we SO hate
to touch busting them lightly with
the powder-llke snow. They softly
fall on the broken stone wall that
surrounds the old castle. They soft
ly cover the bare orchard, falling on
the waving boughs Of the leafless
trees, that In the preceding summer
had borne such delicious fruit, until
they resemble white human arms
bending under the burden Of the
flaky snow. They softly touch the
tiny apple that hangs on the dear
old apple tree. They fall on the
bare twigs of the plum tree until
they tremble under the weight.
And they wrap the rough brown
bark Of the boughs of the peach
trees with a soft warm blanket for
the tender buds beneath, which
makes us think of spring and that
other snowy shower Of delicate
blossoms.-Ruth Woke, age IL,
grade 6, st. Mary's School.
