AN UNUSUAL FROLIC.

AN UNUSUAL FROLIC.
One of the most enjoyable of frolics
given by the young people this week
was the unique "Tacky" party given
by Miss Gladys Martin on the large
veranda of her home Monday evening.
The guests all wore masks when they
arrived and much fun was derived
guessing who each other was. Many
funny and fancy costumes were worn
and the amusements for the evening
were in keeping with the nature of the
party. All such old-fashioned games
as John and Mary" I'm Catch Su-
SIZE etc, were played until a late
hour when pink lemonade and cake
was served, The party was indeed a
scream from start to finish. Miss Lula
Smith and Mr. Newton Mathis were
awarded the prizes for the best cos
tunes. Miss Smith was dressed in
detail to represent country woman
" ~" 80 ~ SCI q NhI0S dhu showed
that she had not been TO circuses her
self for nothing, Her costume has
never been equalled in vaudeville or
by circus clown. The prizes were
ian for the lady and a tin drinking
cup for the man.
Those enjoying this unusual party
were Misses Daisy Boney, Bernice
Sweat, Of Waycross; Ethelyn Russell,
Esther Osborne, Helen Osborne, EN-
ma V. Pattishall, Lula Smith, Dora
Mathis and Mildred Shaffer, Messrs
Elmer Martin, Mark Mathis, Newton

WHY ARE
SHOES
COSTLY?
(Special to The Times)

BOSTON, Oct. 2.-In spite of
shoe factories working on re-
duced time and warehouses bulg-
ing with feathers for which there
is little demand, witness the phe-
nomenon of retail prices for shoes
staying up on absurd levels and
threatening to advance rather
than to decline. What is the ex-
planation?
Women" the public is told.
The refusal of women to adopt
plain standard styles. Their In
sistence on fancy designs in fancy
colors, and their habit of changing
their minds without notice. The
inability of manufacturers to
know what kind of demand to an
ticipate, in which state of perplex-
ity they play safe by taking no
chances.
AL of which is very interesting,
but It somehow ceases to be con-
vincing when you start to price
the shoe for men.
Most men are content to wear a
standard style Of shoe. The choose
a last which fits, and stick to it.
Does that bring any relief from
high prices? If so, we haven't
been able to notice 1t. What is
the explanation?

British have ever built in one
year, and five or six times what
you have previously accomplished

'The problem is almost entire
ly an American problem. The
stoppage of food supplies from

cheerfully allotting much tonnage

to do so by reason of our admira-
ton for their work.
at is vital that hand in hand
with the equipment of the splen-
did young men now flocking into
your environments must rise an
army of American shipbuilders.
The men who build the ships in
Great Britain regard themselves,
and rightly, as performing equal
service with the men who face
death in the trenches. l believe
that the time will come when the
workers in the shipyards and fac
tories-the men in the mines and
mercantile sailors-will also get
the crosses, medals and ribbons
that are now given to the soldiers
and naval men.

ounce of which has to be trans
ported across the submarine

LET me urge and urge you
again that the increased sinkings

cant and what is aimed at by the
Germans is the ruin Of your eff
fort to supply your own men with

headed Scotsman who was chosen

task that is much more difficult
than even that of food controller

being sunk more rapidly than 1t
is being built, and that, mark
you, at a time when the demand
for shipping, owing to the trans
port needs of the u. s. army, is

But l maintain that nothing
that has happened alters my con-
viction that the combined ship
yards of the allies and their COM

human effort to overcome the

"A million dollars were sent to

but always furriers have looked
to London for their mole skins.
This is for two reasons--mole
trapping has been a recognized
industry in England for centuries,
and also, the English moles are
larger and have better pelts than
the moles of the eastern part of
the United States.
But the biological survey has
made a discovery that should
revolutiOnize all this, and ut
the same time solve the
mole problem for the farm
ers.
1.-The skins of the common large
mole of western Washington and
Oregon are larger and have better
texture and fur than those Of Eu-
rope" says Scheffer in his bulle-
tin.
"A demand for American mole
skins at prices remunerative to
the trapper has developed. Bulk
orders for immediate delivery,
however, could not be filled, in
asmuch as it has not been gener-
ally known that moleskins had or
were to have a market value"
"A good moleskin," Scheffer
told me Tuesday, will sell for
from 20 to 35 cents. 1t takes from
~ to 20 skins of northwest moles
