PRICE OF SHOES WILL
MOUNT STILL HIGHER
Leather Dealers, AT Meeting In Balti-
more, Say Raise Of ST In
so DAYS.

That the price of shoes will go up at
lie st 81 in price in the near future
was the prediction made by William
A. Dixon, president of Dixon, Bartlett
& Co., at banquet of the Shoe and
Leather Board of Trade held last might
at the Hotel Rennert, Baltimore.
Discussion among those present was to
the effect that the increase would go on
within the next 60 days. if not sooner.
Mr.. Dixon recalled to his hearers
the fact that the orders placed by the
United States government required
the hides of over 100000 cattle to
nil, and that not more than 5000, 900
cattle are slaughtered a year in this
C, untry. The demand from the United
States government and those of the
various Allies might be expected to
increase rather than decrease, said
Mr.. Dixon, leaving relatively email
number of hides available for the
regular shoe business.
Mr.. Dixon's statement is all the
more authoritative when it is recalled
that he is one of the biggest shoe
dealers in Baltimore and constantly in
touch with the biggest shoe and leather
interests of the country.
The speeches dealt mostly with the
conditions surrounding the shoe busi
ness at the present time, and particu-
larly with the problem of getting mer-
chandise shipped. This phase of the
situation was discussed by A. E. Beck,
traffic manager of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association.

SILLY WORSHIP OF WEALTH
General Tendency 70 Gloat over Sight
ana Sound Of Money Something
Hard to Understand.

The tendency to gloat over the sight
and sound Of money may be less per-
vasive than il seems. 1t may be only
a temporary predisposition. leaving US
at heart clean, wise. and temperate.
But there is a florid exuberance in the
handling of this recurrent theme
which nauseates US little. like very
rich food eaten in a close room, writes
Agnes Reppler in the Atlantic. why
should we be told that "the world
gapes in wonder" as 1t contemplates
''an Aladdin romance of steel and
goldT' The world has other things
to cape over in these sorrowful days.
"0nce @ barefoot boy now riding in a
100000 private car" There is a
headline TO catch the public eye, and
make the public tongue hang watering
from its mouth. That car, ''early Pull
man and the late German Lloyd" is to
the American reader what the 1000
black slaves with Jars of jewels upon
their heads were to Dick Swiveler-a
vision of tasteful opulence. More in
innate journalists tell us that ''Finan-
cial Potentate" eats baked potatoes for
his luncheon, and gives his friends
notebooks with a moral axiom on each
page. We cannot really care what
this unknown gentleman eats. We
cannot, under any conceivable circum-
stance, covet a moral notebook. Yet
such items of information would not
be painstakingly acquired unless they
afforded some mysterious qualification
to their readers.

MOVING PICTURE ATTRACTIONS
At the Republic Theatre Tonight.

AT the Republic Theatre Tonight
The spirit and romance of old Mex
leo, and the hazardous adventures
which overtake an American army
officer in search of a bold, bad bandit,
form the story of the new William
Fox production, betrayed, winch
r. A. Welsh has just completed with
Miriam Cooper in the leading role.
This picture, another wonderful pro-
duct Of Director Walsh's genius, will
be the attraction at the Republic to-
night.
The story tells of senorita's dreams
Of love. She begins by promising to
marry one man. Before the picture
is ended, she has promised to marry
three.
Cgrmelita--t il her name-throws
aside Pepo, when she meets Leopoldo,
bandit. Then, when she discovers
William Jerome, an American officer
who has come to Mexico as a spy in
search of the ruffian, she forsakes
Leopol do.
She writes the Americana that she
will be beside the brook with the man
ne seeks. Bat leopold intercepts
the note, reverses the plot, and the re-
cult is that Carmelita il shot instead
of Leopoldo.
The finish is one of the battle scenes
FOR which Director Walsh is famous.
Everything concludes to the entire
satisfaction of everyone except the
bold, bad bandit.

DR.. GambreI ana Gen. Funston.

Our Monthly.
General Frederick Funston and DR..
J. B. Gambrell, Of the Baptist church,
are having it back and forth over the
question as to whether religion ought
to be put to the soldiers In an evan
gelistic way. General Funston thinks
that It ought not. He forbade evan
gelistic services among the soldiers
on the Mexican border. General Fun
ston evidently does not believe in the
dogmas Of the "old time religion" ]"
He doubtless had a right, as COM
mander Of the Mexican border forces,
to refuse this privilege to DR.. Gam
brell. We cannot see that anything
Is gained by religious folks losing
their heads over the matter, and some
of them calling On the president to
dismiss Funston. We suppose that
DR.. Gambrell, fine and big as he is,
was the object of Funston's order
will make no more difference to the
president than if it had been some
little two-by-four Baptist theolog.
And we cannot see that anything will
be gained by the comfort that some
take unto themselves by saying that
DR.. Gambrell can handle Gen. Fun
ston. The only way to handle him is
to see if services can be held, and if
they cannot, then all the arrange
ments in creation will gain nothing.
Either Funston is right or wrong;
that's ALL Either eyangelistic SER
vices will be held Or not held; that's
all. If they can be held, then let
the revivalist get busy. If they can't
be, then let's hush.
