found that there would have to be an
entire reorganization. owing to tho fac,
that the federation and commission
would be brough, together. This step
necessitated the forming of all leagues
again and the disbanding OF some.
Secretary sutton and Arthur Van Buren,
have taken hold of the reorganization
and. assisted by the other members OF
the commission. have been able to nut
four leagues in the field up to this time.
with the possibility OF another being
formed this week.
Each Of the three leagues which
open their schedules Saturday consist
OF six teams. and each Of the teams
viii carry fifteen men. The number of
teams in the Commercial League is
undetermined as yet. but il is certain
there viii be ut least four clubs in H.

ECONOMY AND LOW SHOES.

Why be willing wooden goods by
keeping womens skirts short, and the time
waste leather goods in ridiculousy high shoes and
freak styles? That's the question raised by any
thoughtful observer who notices the height of women
shoes these days and the large number OF extreme
styles in which those shoes made.
The commercial economy board of the council for
urges shoe manufacturers eliminate
the fancy work to adopt simple suitable styles and
then to confne production those staple lines. At
the time that there reduction in the number
styles there should be a lowering of the height
shoes. England has limited the height womens
shoes to seven inches. Many of the boots worn by
fashionable American higher by
several inches
1t wasn't very long ago that women insisted wear
ing pumps the year round. Not the icy blasts Of
winter could drive the low shoe fashion
tated It's quite likely that no hardship will be wrought
now by simply limiting the height of shoes
able number of inches Low shoes worn for economy
surely as comfortable as attractive as those
worn for style.
Women sincerely patriouc-as they have
Eone They'll farther too, as fast as they realize
further possibilities of economy and thrift
manufacturer and dealers will follow the suggestion
OF the economy board cutting down on footwear
novelties they will find the women willing and eager
to cooperate. and much material will be saved
for military uses.
