of the things which are needed In the
District"

Simplicity Is the keynote Of the sea-
sons dance frocks. Modesty may also
be mentioned as a strong influence:
very few of the newest evening gowns
are cut very low In the neck. Those
that are cut low have an Overlapping
of sheer tulle and few are entirely
sleeveless. The tendency in the deNei-
opment of formal evening gowns is TO
arrange them so they may be worn for
either afternoon or evening. The aver"
age dance frocll is so simple any home
dreSsma<er can turn it out without the
least difficulty.
Many hustle effects are noted in the
development of dance frocks. but the

PROTECTING THE PUBLIC
Against Extavagu11t Prices for Good Shoes

There is such thing as a trust in the peo-
pie, for the people and by the people.
For many years the immense buying power
of our stores, working as unit, has brought
to Our customers advantages either in price or
in better merchandise.
Now turning this organization into real
preparedness in advance we have accomplished
really wonderful things.
For instance:
We own and have actually on
hand thousands of pairs of shoes for
men, women and children, which, to-
gether with orders placed, will safe
guard the public against extravagant
prices SO long these stocks last.
These shoes were bought more favor
ably, we believe, than any stocks of
like variety anywhere in Washington.
Because retail dealers always buy ahead
to a certain extent, and because shoe manu-
facturers always lay in leather ahead of their
orders, the retail advance in the prices of shoes
has not been so great as the wholesale advance
on shoes or in the cost of leather.
Leather has advanced between
100 and 2000o, according to the
grades, during the past two years. All
other materials used in shoes, together
with labor, have advanced in cost also.
Retail prices of shoes have ad-
vanced generally so per cent. Whole
sale prices are now 1000o higher than
formerly. They are still advancing.
With Our large business, shoes keep COM
ing in and going out of this store in steady
stream all the time, and it is only by placing
unduly large orders in advance in times of
stress, such as these that we are able to keep
down the prices.
There are thousands of pairs of
shoes In our stocks-good- looking,
good wearing and good 6tting-of
the staple, palmer sorts, on which we
have not advanced prices at all.
There is not group of shoes in our stocks
that has not been bought much below todays
market prices.
And today's wholesale market prices are
lower than tomorrow's will be. Wholesale
costs are still going higher. Leather is getting
scarcer.
But at present at Berberich's-retail
prices good shoes are lower than people
imagine from stories appearing in the news
papers.
The Washington herald., 1917-03-25

Of course, higher shoes-required by
higher skirts-cost more. They would cost
more without any advance in the price of
leather, because they require from IS to 2o9o
more leather. Fancy colored feathers also cost
more.
People who want the higher-cut and COL
ored-eather shoes will find them here at
slightly higher, but not exorbitant, prices.
But it is not fair to compare the newer
style and the higher-cut shoe with the old-time
shoe worn SO many years.
A WARNING:
When shoes go up in cost, stand
ards are apt to go down. Rising cost
of materials means to store one or
two things-either to maintain the old
selling price and cheaper the product
or to protect the standard of quality
and increase the price.
The Berberich way is to maintain
the standard always.
BE ON YOUR GUARD against good
looking shoes that will not keep their shape or
wear we'll. Novelty leather shoes can be made
to look so attractive to cover poor work.
manship, and thus mislead the purchaser. Poor
shoemaking is not apparent until after the
shoe is worn. The only safe thing to do is to
buy good shoes at store that maintains its
standard of workmanship and standard of
quality.
The Washington herald., 1917-03-25

1t is uncertain. The outlook is that shoes
will continue to cost more, even though the
war ends suddenly, unless there is radical
change in fashion and substitutes are used for
leather.
One thing IS certain: Whether they wear
long skirts or short skirts, women will never
go back to slipshod shoes. They will never for
get the lesson that they cannot be well-dressed
unless their feet are well-shod.
All fashions of shoes are here-all grades,
all leathers-and at prices least affected by the
rising costs.
Prove this to your own satisfaction any
day by personal visit to any of our stores
REMEMBER THIS: There is no need to
pay extortionate prices for shoes.
The big purchasing power of Berberich's
Stores, the experience gained in over fifty
years of buying and selling of good shoes, our
placing of tremendous advance orders-taking
advantage of every turn of the leather market,
going direct to the tannery months in advance
and buying leather-not shoes, but leather
and having this made into shoes for US, all
means just this:
Berberich's Shoe Stores today-and as
long as present stocks last-save Washington
ians thousands upon thousands of dollars on
their footwear. 1t means that every pair of
SllOCS lIdl VIC die SSlllllS LOW SOSl SOlSluSl
more wholesale than our retail prices. 1t means
that instead of taking advantage of the abnor-
NAL situation which now exists, and making
profit of several dollars per pair by selling at
present market prices, Berberichs is showing
its appreciation of an increasing patronage of
over fifty years by maintaining as long as pos
sibleold prices, giving the public the difference
between present prices, necessitated by market
conditions, and prices made possible by our
foresight of buying in huge quantities months
ahead.
Take pencil and paper and figure
out the number of pairs of shoes your
family needs in a year-realize that
this saving of Thousands of dollars to
Washingtonians means a saving of
many dollars on every pair of shoes.
See just what this means in your indi-
vidual case.

Strike Lead on the 3O0-Foot Level in
Well Known Property Of nli-
nois Valley

An ore discovery that is Of double
value in that it not only establishes
the existence of a large body OF
mineral in the Waldo mine. but which
also determines the permanence Of
the copper leads In that region. in
just reported by the Waldo owners.
1t is said that from a geological
standpoint, the recent strike Is the
most important ever made in the
Takilma district. and IL present in
'dications are borne out in the fur
ther developments OF this ore body.
viii offer conclusive evidence that
the Takilma copper mines "go down."
in mining pariance. "a :
The new ore body has been opened
in what Is known as the Hale drift.",
on the fourth level. the deepest work
ing in the Waldo mine. and some 800
feet below the outcrop.
The discovery Of this new ore shoot
is in no sense an accident and
brought no surprise to the manage
ment for the reason that it is pure
ly the result OF carefully-planned de-
velopment of the lower levels of the
mine, a scientific development based
upon accurate engineering and
careful study Of the geology Of the
ore deposits as revealed in the upper
workings. 81.
The geology Of the Waldo is COM
pick and the ore bodies irregular in
the upper levels due to faulting and
crushing movement after deposition
had taken place. Locally. the vein
rock is an intrusive andesite. a deep
slated crystalline rock which as a
forced its way to the present
surface through and along the frac-
tured planes which form the pres
ent ore zone. That this andesite
bears very close relation to the ore
bodies is quite beyond dispute. Sub
sequent shearing perhaps improved
the conditions for its becoming the
carrier OF the mineral solutions
which later replace 1t in a large part
with sulphides. thus forming the
series OF paraylel east and west lenses
or ore shoots found in the Waldo
mine upper workings and dipping
south at about As degrees.
The hanging wall is diorite, more
or less regular. The foot wall, IL
indeed 1t proves to be the true foot
wall, is of serpentine and is also the
main fault plane cutting the andesite
vein rock on 50 degree dip.
The main ore body has occurred
near the diorite a hanging wall and
has extended from the surface to the
foot of the Reddy stope, a depth Of
200 feet. until cut off by the serpen-
tine fault plane. This was solid
sulphide ore body reaching max
mum width OF 20 feet and carrying
values of 10 to 22 per cent and SO
per ton gold. The predominating
copper ore is chalcopyrite. with which
is associated pyrite and pyerhotite.
All indications point to the fact
that the new discovery in the Hale,
drift fourth level, is the top of the,
lower section Of the vein below the,
disturbing serpentine fault plane. II
development bears out these
conclusions, we can look for larger
and better mine below the fourth
level than the Waldo has ever been.
The new mill is temporarily idle and
most all mine work suspended with
he bunkers all full of ore, pending
