ELAN RESTRICTIONS ON
SHOE MANUFACTURER

DOUGLAS. July 2S.-Local shoe
dealers have ben notified that with
in the next few months shoes of odd
colors will not be on the market.
There will be four standard colors.
white. black. and two shades of
brown. so the women who love the
soft dove grays. the champaign OF
bronze. will have to lay in their
stock OF such shades very soon, or
else go without when the new shoes
from the market arrive.
The shortage of leather has made
the shoe market increase the prices
until shoes become luxury instead
OF necessity, and the government
will take over the tanneries of the
United States as it has taken various
other enterprises, and will run them
TO suit itself. and the first thing done
will be a decrease in price.
Besides being able to get but four
shades or colors of shoes, milady will
be unable to wear high heels. The
military. or common sense heel. will
be the vogue, and French heels will
be taboo. Also shoes will not ex.
coed eight inches in height.

submarine had disappeared.
