FASHION OF HIGH CUT BOOTS
is RESULT OF ACCIDENT

ATLANTA, Ga, March 24.-That the
prevailing fashion of expensive high
cut boots in soft colored leather is
the result of an accident, like many
other fashions in times past. is de-
clared by a man who has been in
vestigating women's footwear.
He says that last year shoe dealer
at a big fashionable resort found trade
dull and deliberately bought up, from
a theatrical furnishing house, large
quantity of beautiful extra high cut
ladies boots in various colored kids,
with high heels-in fact the boots
which until few years ago, we only
saw-and admired-on the trim toots-
les of chorus girls and stage beauties.
City people at the resort saw the
display and figured that they must be
advanced showings from New York.
They bought, and soon fashionable
women were wearing with short skirts
on the street elaborate and beautifully
cut and colored boots such as had
never been worn before outside of
musical comedy.
When these people went back to the
city with their fancy boots the fashion
was soon set. Manufacturers started
in to meet the demand, making high
topped shoes of all the colors of the
rainbow, some of them lacing half
way TO the knee and now everybody is
buying and wearing the chorus girl
shoes even though they cost from $lz
to $25 pair

THERE WILL BE NO RISE IN

CHICAGO, March 24.-You may not

suit or dress two weeks from tomor-
row you can sport bouquet Of yiolets
or even the custom decreed Easter
lily. They're not going up in price.
Florists in Chicago and the rest of the
country so announced today.
At the annual national gathering
here of horticulturists. wholesale and
retail, it became apparent that neither
the tariff, war or submarine blockade
could by the most vivid stretch OF
imagination be ascribed as an excuse
for an advance in the cost of milady' S
corsage.
Lilies, the florist declare, will al
ways remain the flower of Easter.
Corsage bouquets of violets. livened up
with lilies of the valley or an orchid
will also be the correct thing for
Easter day.
Other information of note was the
declaration that the tendency OF the
times is to return to the old June roses
of yesterday, the round petaled flowers
which grow in the country. The
Wieland and the Storey varieties are
scheduled to become the most popular

AMERICAN SAILORS GET
HIGHER WAGES THAN ARE
PAID ON ENGLISH SHIPS

NEW YORK, March 24.-Higher
wages paid sailors on American as
compared to English merchant ships
will handicap this country at the
close of the war in its competition
with England for commercial suprem-
acy of the seas, according to DR.. Geo.
Sidney Webster of the American Sea-
mans Friend Society. DR.. Webster's
opinions are based on observation in q
number of American ports and espec-
tally in the port of New York where a
large Sailors Home is maintained on
the North River waterfront.
The increased merchant ship pro-
duction in this country" says DR.. Web
ster, will not of itself give the United
States a commercial supremacy of the
seas, although in 1916 the output for
probably the first time in history APP
proximated that of Great Britain.
This increased production will not
entirely fly under the American nag,
but even a large percentage of the
ships which should be under American
ownership will be under foreign reg
istry at the end of the war, when the
protection afforded by the American
flag is no longer necessary and the
lower wages paid on foreign ships will
offer a great inducement for foreign
registry"

This autumn morning! How he sets

To back i the sun, and thrusts out

To the ripple to run over in it's

Listening the while, where on the heap

The white breast of the sea lark

That is the doctrine, simple, ancient,

Such is lifes trial, as old earth

If you loved only what were worth
