About BUYING Shoes.

Shoes are to cost no more this
year than they did last This is the
word CT a. F. Sloane, field secretary
for the National Shoe Retailers asso-
citation. MIR Sloane says many retail
shoe men have oyerstocked. And
contrary to general opinion, there is
no shortage of leather Shoe prices
are not to be advanced by whole
salers to the retail trade. And some
new substitutes are proving better
than leather. There is a new sole
being turned out. for example, which
seems so far to be better than leath.
or and one concern is making some
thing like 100000 pairs of these soles
o day.
Now these are cheering thoughts.
Interesting if true. In war world
where shoes for the three-year.old
cost s275 per pair il they are Of a
quality TO last more than a month, is
at least beautiful to believe that they
won't cost 1925 The next time they
must be bought.
But why shouldn't some consola-
ton be left in the midst OF afilic-
ton? Now that the army model
for men is in fashion for men at
home as well az soldering. and there
are rumors in the style notes that
women's shoes are to be simpler and
saner. there are sure to be fewer
foot troubles, and consequently less
spinal troubles And if these bene
fits are to he obtained at no higher
cost than the cramping, deforming
footgear of the past-let's all buy
shoes
And if Mr.. Sloane's optimism is
justified by future facts, there will
be one thing, as Americans sit around
