Other features OF the hew styles
that can be gathered from any repre-
sentative showing reveal that high
shoes continue to be very high as COM
pared to high shoes of few seasons
ago. The fact that skirts have been
heightened q little has made no differ
ence. The very high shoe is more trim
than the moderately high shoe and
more practical. The uppers in these
shoes are of cloth just as often as Of
kid. AS fine kid is not the sort of
leather that Is needed In the army
there is no reason why the very high
shoe should not be worn with d clear
conscience. But cloth tops are just as
attractive and just as desirable as the
kid and maybe little easier to keep
clean.
Oxfords and slippers will divide
honors with high shoes for street and
sports wear this summer. In all Of
them toes are somewhat pointed but
not to the length of discomfort. Con-
siderable decoration In perforations
appears on all styles OF shoes as may
be gathered from the group pictured
here which includes high walking
shoe, oxfords and dress slipper. The
high shoes are In black kid with COM
nonsense Cuban heel. Wherever a
seam is required for Joining the diff
ferent parts of the shoe. there perfor-
ations occur. And the toes have a

tive.

If one but desires to see how Ted
dy and men of his kind are con-
sidered in the nations of the Old
World, he has but to read the COM
ments of the foreign papers on the
result of the late elections here, and
on the comments of Teddy and his
crew-for it discloses fully that he
and the element he represents are
held in profound contempt.
AS further indication, the recep-
ton with which the president is
meeting and the programme preDar-
ed for his stay over there is but a
further demonstration of the high
esteem in which Wilson is held, for
no ruler now on earth or for that
matter ever in the past, has and will
have such honors showered upon
him as has, and will the president OF
the United States.
Every foreign paper expresses the
conviction that it was Wilson's dip
lomacy that was the means OF bring

union in regard to an armlst1ce and

it shortened the war by six months

WHO MADE THE PROFITS?

The collector of income taxes for
the New York district tells in the
American magazine of the classes OF
business which have earned war
profits and those which have suffer
ed most from the war.
He, says that the, ship and NUM-
ton business has been the, most
prosperous of all Anyone who had
a ship or could buy or build one has
made enormous profits. Leather
merchants who formerly paid taxes
on $4,000 of profits have suddenly
shown profits of 100000. Wooden
merchants made fortunes over night
in the rise in the value of their
goods on hand. Importers of drugs
the amount of profits in their. re-
turns. Six partners in the junk
business made $S,5OO,O0 in one
year.

America citizens of the United States

On the other hand the income taA
collector can read the tombstones
belong to wars casualty list. Toy
merchants who were wont to import
from Germany went broke. Silk
merchants and sporting goods men
suffered. Candy manufacturers have
been shut off from their full supply
of sugar. Small tobacco companies
have gone to the wall. Hundreds
Of newspapers have been compelled
to suspend Real estate has been
held at standstill throughout the
war and contractors have either
been out of work with their equip
ment idle or have gone broke in
many instances on long contracts
which had to be completed at rising
costs for material and labor.
Taking the income tax returns
applying them to business the facts
seem to show that those who have
protited in the past few years are a
large part of the laboring class, a
great many of the upper middle class
and the wealthy. The part of he

These are observations made
from income returns in the New
York district where the farming in
dustry is unknown as to the effect
of $3.50 corn, 60 cent butter and
$40 hogs on the war profits of men
engaged in that industry but they
line accurately with the first hand
knowledge Of men who are engaged
in the lines of business mentioned.
Publishers realize how far they have
been removed from war profits in
these war times and so do the toy
merchants candy makers and real
estate men. Food jobbers and mer-
chants have been held down to
margins which have caused losses
for them while business men with
stocks of iron, leather or woolens
