CHEAPER SHOES
War Industries Board Shutting Down
on Ext0rtionate Prices for
FOOtgear

WashingtonnOct. 1.-The American
people will soon be able to purchase
shoes at fixed minimum and maxi
mum retail prices, lower than those
now prevailing. and obtain at the
same time shoes of better quality.
This announcement is made by the
War Industries Board based on an
agreement it has entered into with
the shoe industry.
Under the agreement shoes will be
standardized as to quality and styles
at prices ranging from So to $12 for
mems and women's groups as follows:
Class A, from So to $12; Class B, $6
to $3.50; Class C, So to $3.50. Pro-
portionate prices for youths and
children's shoes have been fixed in
each of the three classes.
The War Industries Board will
check up on the quality of the shoes
sold at each price, by means of a
class number stamped on each shoe.
Policing, officials explained, 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, COM
plant may be made and the cost of
manufacture traced.
While it is possible to purchase a
shoe now for So, under the new sched-
ule the shoe at that price will be of a
higher grade.
Officials also said that it will be
possible to buy better quality shoes
throughout the three shoe classes at
less money than at present. Shoes
now retailing for as high as $40, they
said, will retail for the maximum
price of s12 and be of at least equal
quality.
Manufacturers, jobbers and retail
ers subscribe to the agreement, and
retailers will be required to sign a
pledge containing the new price scale
and display it in their shops. Failure
to do so will mean the cutting of of
supplies. The manufacturers pledge
provides for standards of quality at
the quoted prices.
The cutting of the shoe price under
the new schedule will begin Oct. 18th
and first deliveries will be made with
in from thirty to six days after that
date.
Time is allowed retailers to dispose
| of present stocks at present prices.

TREAT WOUNDED IN FACE OF FOE

the Red Cross cars went out into the
surrounding country to pick up the
wounded, who were attempting to
walk to hospital, and to aid the
refugees struggling along the rad.
Besides transporting these two hum
dred or more wounded men to places
Of safety, the Red Cross cars aided
100 refugees to the railheads in three
uays.
But their work had only begun.
Despite the evacuation of the hospital
and the consequent order for more OF
the staff to accompany the patients to
points of safety, the wounded kept
coming in. Ninety per cent of them
were serious cases. Practically all
demanded immediate operations. Not
simple operations, but major ones,
where steady nerve, delicate touch
and sure hand were necessary to give
the wounded the best chance for life.
Work Night and Day.
Night and day the American sur
geons worked. There were q few
nurses to assist, but all were tired
completely tagged, mentally and
physically. Every one needed rest.
But there were the men coming in
every few hours. their bodies pitifully
torn, and suffering untold agonies. So
no one thought of stopping. and even
when one did get few hours of duty
there were the big guns only a few
hundred feet from the hospital. They
belched and roared all night.
OF course, some of the cases were
hopeless and no amount Of surgical
skill or medical attention could save
them. Here again the American Red
Gross men came dn for more work.
They had to dig the graves and act as
pallbearers,
One night was especially hard. The
doctors were kept busy in the oper-
ating room until three o'clock in the
morning. The nurses had to have a
bit of rest. One nurse only was avail
able. So again the Red Cross drivers
were called upon. One became an aid
to the operating surgeon, remaining
in service until the last wounded man
was rolled finally into his bed.

Seattle, Wash.-C. o. Morrow. pres
ident of the Elliottray Shipbuilding
company, suffered something of Q
shock the other morning. but at that 1t
was nothing to the shock suffered By
taking stroll through the company's
big wooden shipbuilding plant
The citizens were shocked when they
discovered that 20 tons of rock salt 10
used in building each of the big wood
en- ships now under construction in
Seattle. Mr.. Morrow was shocked be-
cause his callers didn't know that rock
salt Is shipbuilding material. Every
body on the water front knows that,
but 1t seems that there are a lot of
prominent business men who didn't
There is now suspicion that only .
very few residents east of Railroad
avenue know that wooden ship has
to be salted.
In showing the prominent citizens
about his plant Mr.. Morrow came to
the building In which he stores this
rock salt. A railroad car was unload
ing another shipment
"This is where we keep the salt for
the ships" said Morrow.
"Haw, haw |" said one caller. who is
something of humorist. Il suppose
you're afraid the ships will get too
fresh2"
That's the exact TRUTH" said Mr..
Morrow.
But the citizens wouldn't believe him
until they had examined the salt Some
Of them tasted it. The storehouses
contained 12O tons.
Mr.. Morrow explained that the salt
is poured between the frames of q
wooden ship above the water line and
is tamped down solid. Then II any wa
ter seeps into the spaces between the
frames it Is turned to brine and does
not damage the wood. Instead, 1t acts

AMERICANS IN HERO ROLE
Incident Of Early Spring Offensive Of
Huns on the somme That Should
Make Americans Proud Of
Their Men.

Washington.-The g.ory Of the part
America and Americans played in aid
ing the British and the French during
the early spring offensive of the Ger
mans on the Somme can never be ade-
Quately told. The whole picture is too
big to paint on one canvas. It is only
by describing the work Of individuals
and particular groups Of workers that
some idea of the American effort and
its effectiveness In this historic battle
can be brought home to the people
back home-and then only In small
way.
While it Is perhaps only very
small incident in the history Of that
great affair, the story Of how small
band Of American Red Cross workers
carried on" at one Of the evacuation
hospitals back Of the British front
should make Americans proud. When
all but few of the hospital staff had
left with the two hundred or more
patients and the Germans were ad-
vancing only few miles away, four
American army surgeons, assigned to
the American Red Cross for work at
this particular hospital, declared their
intention of sticking till h froze
over" And six Red Cross ambulance
and truck drivers, as well as several
American Red Cross nurses and aides
stuck" with them.
The Americans made their decision
not because Of sheer bravado, but be-
cause the hospital had the opportu-
nifty of serving few wounded SOL
diers from day to day-and could save
their lives. And at this writing these
Americans are still there, giving much
needed medical attention to French
and British soldiers who are brought
back to this hospital because it is
the nearest one back of that point of
the line.
Stay on the Job.
The big guns Of the British and
French have been planted in the rear
of it-and then moved farther back.
The Boche airmen come over at night.
The little group Of Americans have
seen the troops, guns and transports
go by in streams to points in the rear,
but as long as the wounded are
brought there, these Americans will
stay.
A few hours after American Red
Cross headquarters in Paris learned
Of the big German offensive, 1t dis
patched eight trucks and motor cars
to this hospital to aid in the evacua-
ton of the patients. Night and day
the Red Cross drivers worked bring
ing the wounded from the hospital to
Paris.
