HERE'S REAL NEWS; SHOE
COST TO BE FORCED DOWN

The American people soon will be
able to purchase shoes at fixed max
imum and minimum retail prices,
lower than those now prevailing, and
obtain at the same time shoes Of
better quality. This announcement
was made by the War Industries
Board based on an agreement it has
entered into with the shoes industry.
Under the agreement shoes will be
standardized as to quality and style
at prices ranging from So to $12 for
men and women grouped as follows !:
Glass A, from SO to $12; class B,
Sc to $3.50 and Class C, So to $3.50.
Proportionate prices for youths and
children's shoes have been fixed in
each of the three classes. The War
Industries Board will check upon the
quality of the shoe sold at each price
by means of class number stamped
in each shoe. Policing, officials ex-
planned, will be done by the various
State Councils of Defense, and
where the public is in doubt as to
what quality it is getting according
to the price schedule, complaint may
be made and the cost Of manufacture
traced
While it is possible to purchase
shoe for SO now under the new
schedule, the shoe at that price will
be of higher grade. Officials also
said that it will be possible to buy
better quality shoes throughout the
three classes at less money than at
present. Shoes now retailing for as
high as 500, they say, will retail for
the maximum price of $l2 and be at
least equal quality.

MY BEST GIRL

AS the ship went down the bay,
And saw your dear form slowly
In the distance fade away.
Your hand appraised in farewell,
A light shone in your eye;
'Dear heart, l must see you again.
l breathed with a heavy sigh.
The maids of France are truly chic,
The English girls are fair,
But in my dreams I only see
You, darling, standing there.
Some day the Hun must go
And la belle France be free;
My duty done, pray
I may recross the sea.

Your best you'll give to me;
I'll throw you kisses far,
Dear Statute of Liberty.
