required by the type of the shoe he got mixed up in all kinds of arguments and very often lost sales altogether. Mrs Jones and her like simply would not see why, because they wore size 5A in a shoe with a rounded toe. they could not be properly fitted in a boot with a pointed toe short of J A. So. to deal with this phase of human vanity, the retailer devised secret code as to sizes. Since then many others have been introduced. In fact, so many re- tailers have private codes of their own that there is a case on record in which a manufacturer once had to mark the same style of shoe with more than twenty different size designations.
 However, there are two codes that are almost standard and which are in quite general use. One is known as the Western, and the other as the French. In the Western code the widths, running from A to E are numbered c to ,. The lengths are given openly as ,, 6. ', etc, the full size being designated by a zero following the figure telling the length In the half sizes follows the Tenth designa- tion. It was the Western code that the inquisitixe MT. Smithers of our story bumped into, and by it's use the 375

HAVE SECRET CODE
 FOR SHOE SIZES
(New York Times)

There was quite a crowd of custom CTS in the store when G. Coxcomb Smithers bought his last new pair of shoes, so he had ample time in which to find out whether the clerk had given him his proper size. However, when he looked at that part of the lining which usually bears the size mark, he found no sign whatever of 712C. In- stead, his eyes encountered a series of figures that might just as well have served as the numbers on a freight car or an automobile license plate. In his surprise he almost overlooked three figures somewhat apart from the rest. yet, had he known it, these figures we're exactly what he was looking for the size mark. The three figures were 375, and they told the clerk very plainly that the size of the shoes he had given MT. Smithers was 715C.
 Some time back-so far back. in fact, that even veteran shoe men blush for their years when the actual date is mentioned-a retailer found that it did not pay to let his customers know too much about the size of the shoes they wore. Some facts were hard to explain to them, for instance, the fact that a foot that will fit a 7iaC shoe in one style of last will not fit a shoe of the same size in a radically different pat tern. The result was that whenever he tried to fit customer in the manner

WEEKLY REVIEW

NEW YORK, Feb. Apart from the United States steel quarterly state ment and the lower extra common dividend the stock market as a whole recorded no material changes during the dull and uninteresting week.
 Economic problems engaged the more serious attention of financial interests, contributions appreciably to the expan- sion of short selling and occasional in tervals of liquidation.
 In the absence of any encouraging influence, the view prevailed that quoted values might be forced to lower levels, the steel divided giving point to that opinion.
 Specific reasons for the weakness of shippings and the better known oils were furnished by the severe and unex- peetd rduction in ocean rates and indi- cations of increasing friction between holders of Mexican concessions and of ficials of that government.
 Monetary conditions offered ground for moderate optimism. dissolution of the local money pool releasing large sums from interior banks and restoring rates for time and call funds, almost to their former ease
 The investment market was slightly stimulated by extension of several eX- piring note issues and the underwriting of a number of new issues.
