WHY WOMEN SHOES
HAVE GONE SKY HIGH
HEAD OF ORGANIZATION OF
SHOE MEN TALKS ABOUT
COSTS AND MATERIALS.

CHICAGO.-The National Retail
Shoe Dealers Association, attended
by 1000 members, met in convention
here today and some of them were
kept busy establishing alibis for
high prices.
John O'Connor, general chairman
of the convention, said that this
years harvest of leather was equal
to that of the past season-he did
not really consider that there was
a leather shortage except in grades
used for the military-and then he
and his associates explained the rea-
son for the SIS and $40 shoes for
women and the SO and 81 shoes for
men.
1t appeared from his statement
that cotton drilling has gone up 300
per cent. to a minimum of 70 cents
a yard, and if there were a pair of
feet in the country requiring yard
of shoe lining 70 cents of the price
was accounted for.
Shoe laces cost $3.50 a gross, and
so if your shoes have a gross of shoe
laces with them it accounts for $3.50
more of the price. Beeswax, too, is
up, but the cost was not analysed,
and it costs 10 cents more to make
eyelets. With twenty or thirty eye
let's in a woman's shoes it was point
ed out that some more of the cost
was obvious. And then, too, there
are nails. A pound of nails costs 8
cents more than it used to. Figuring
the number of pounds of nails to the
shoe runs the total still higher.
A proposal to regulate the height
of women's shoes was said to be I'M
der consideration at an executive
session of a committee of the deal
ers. In England the women are al
lowed a shoe height of 3-4 inches
and it was suggested that "a
would be about right for American
women.

EXPENSE BILLS RUN
ENTIRELY TOO HIGH
LOCAL BOARDS WILL HEREAF-
TER GET 80 CENTS A MAN
FOR THOSE DRAFTED.

Extravagant expense bills filed by
many members of local boards for
their services in classifying regis
trants has led Provost Marshal Gen
eral Crowder to accept the recon-
mendation of board members and
others connected with the administra-
ton of the selective draft to place
the salary feature of the classical
ton system on cost basis.
In a telegram Gen. Crowder pro-
mulgates new regulations, approved
by President Wilson, unde (which the
boards hereafter will get an aggre-
gate of 80 cents remuneration for
each man finally classified, exclusive
of compensation for clerks or exam
ming physicians who are not mem
bers of the board. Under the old
rules the boards were allowed a max
imum of $3.50 a month for each men,
Der exclusive of clerical help.
While many board members have
renewed their offers of gratuitous
services and others have held their
expense accounts down, Gen. Crow
der said in his telegram "a consider
able number, regardless Of the size
of registration in the respective ju-
risdiction, have made their estimates
on so extravagant a scale that the to-
tai cost could not be paid out of any
appropriation which congress would
be willing to make or which the peo-
pie of the nation would approve"
Under the new regulations expens-
es already allowed by board members
will be considered to have been bas-
ed upon the provisions Of this regu-
lation, and any and all further pay
ments shall 'e computed according
ly. The boards, by unanimous vote,
may distribute the thirty cents al
lowance per man among their mem
bers as they desire, provided that no
member shall receive more than fif-
teen cents and no two members more
than twenty-five cents.

CONTROL over PAPER
DENIED TRADE BOARD
SENATE ALSO REFUSES POWER
TO WILSON AND DEFEATS
THE MEASURE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The reso-
luton giving the federal trade com
mission direct authority to supervise
and regulate the production and dis
tribution of print paper was today
rejected by the senate after the COM
mittee amendment placing the pow
er in the president had been defeated.
The final vote was sc to 80.
During the final day of debate at
tacks were made on the resolution
both by democratic and republican
senators. Senator Knox termed it in
comprehensive and vicious in its
purpose" No institution has shown
more loyalty to the government than
the press, he added, adding "that as
the newspapers seem to understand
the viciousness of the bill the more
they are inclined to oppose it."
Senators Harding and Hitchcock
both newspaper owners, also opposed
the measure, the former declaring
that it would only hinder the impor-
tation of pulp from Canada and EN-.
barrass the publishers.
Senators King and Fernald argued
that it was not war measure, but {
bill to turn private enterprises ovel
to the government, while Senator
Reed classified it as disgrace" t.
the senate and Senator Smoot assert
ed it would prove the greatest cen
sorship ever imposed.

ATLANTA, Ga, May "a large part
of the credit for putting Lowndes

recent Liberty Loan campaign belongs
to the girl students of the South Geor-
gia State Normal College located there,
according to reports which have been
sent into the Liberty Loan headquart-
ers of the Sixth Federal Reserve dis
trict in this city.
On the closing day of the campaign

scriptions would then and there be
received,

dience had subscribed 100000 and

CHANGES in CENTRAL
SCHEDULE MAY 18th

Effective Sunday. May 18th, the Cen
trail of Georgia railway announces i'm
portant changes in schedule of trains
arriving and departing from Americas
In most instances these changes will
result in trains arriving and departing
a little later than under existing sched-
ules, but in one of two instances,
notably affecting trains operating be-
tween Columbus aud Americas, the re-
verse is the case.
Under the new schedule, the noon
trains, as they are called, will continue
to meet here, only each train will pass
here at 2:17 p. m, instead of 2;11, or
five minutes later than at present,
while the night train for Macon and
Atlanta will pass here at 1852 p. M,
instead of 10:45 p. M, as at present,
and the morning shoe fly will pass at
GAO a M, insteal of 6:37, as at pres
ent, returning each evening at7.35 p.
m, instead of 1880, as at present.
On the Columbus line the morning
train which now leaves at 700 O. M,
will leave at 7:10 instead, while the
morninging train from that city is
scheduled to arrive here at HAS a. M,
instead of 1890 p. m. This train will
return in the afternoon, leaving here
at 2;30 p. m, instead of 800 o'clock,
as at present, thus allowing shoppers
from Buena Vista, Ellayille, LaCross
and other towns an additional fifteen
minutes shopping time in Americas,
in the event the train reaches here on
time. The Seminole Limited, which
now comes in at 1905 a. m, from
Columbus and Birmingham, will ar
rive at 1910 a. M, or five minutes
later under the new arrangement.

In addition to serving our enlisted forces, it is
assisting in the work of civil relief among our allies
whose soil is being devastated by the fighting.
Thus the Red Cross is helping to interpret the
constructive spirit of our Republic which holds
sacred human life and the ideals it seeks
AS time goes on the scope of the work of the
Red Cross in Europe will increase in order that the
organization may meet the demands that will be
made upon it. It must receive the full and hearty
support of the American people. 1t is only through
such an agency that we can be assured relief and
necessary ministration to our young men forming
our military force
It is my sincere desire that adequate funds
will be secured for the work of the Red Cross.
