Increase in Shoe Prices
Predicted by Retailers

Victor Il. Vale, of Kokomo, presi-
dent of the Indiana Retail Shoe as
ISOLATION, in a statement, says: "Since
the signing of the armistice the pub
lie has been anticipating lower prices
on shoes, but regret to statae that
both the retailers and consumers will
be disappointed, for the trend of
prices is steadily upward, owing to
the fact that we are exporting leather
to European countries, where here
tofore we have been large importers.
In fact, we have always imported from
so to 60 percent of the leather used
in the manufacture Of shoes from Eu-
ropean countries. These countries for
the past four years have had no leah
er to give us and at the present time
European tanners and manufacturers
are bidding in our markets against
American tanners and manufacturers
for our materials, and leather prices
are more than 80 per cent higher in
European countries than they are in
America today"
1.-THE Introduction Of the long skirt"
said Mr.. Vale, coupled with the nice
weather, has created an excessive de-
mand for low shoes unusually early
in the season. This demand of course
will increase as the season advances,
and II My Lady desires. a good look
ing pair of low shoes for the coming
season 1t would be advisable for her
to secure them now, for the factories
of the country are sold up to their
capacity for these shoes until after
June /, and 1t is questionable whether
they will be able to deliver them at
that time"
The Indiana Shoe Retail associa-
ton will hold its annual convention
at the Claypool hotel, Indianapolis.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
March 10, Ill and IL. Richmond
shoe men are expecting to attend.

UNEcoNoMIcAL GOVERNMENT.
Not Making Use of Stocks of Leather
Prepared for Soldiers Boots.

The experience of members Of our
trade in recent months tend to induce
the belief that the old advice against
trusting princes applies with equal force
to our republican form of government.
When General Pershing demanded that
army shoes should be made from chrome
re-tan leather heavily stuffed with grease
there was an instant response through
out the tanning industry. The upper
leather tanners were all equipped to
make straight chrome stock, but upon
being urged periodically to help win the
war they changed over their plants and
produced the stock demanded No con
tracts, written or verbal, were awarded
but the tanners were assured that many
millions of pairs of army shoes would be
required as the war was to last two
years longer and at least five millions of
soldiers would be in the field.
When the armistice was signed the
tanners had large quantities of the new
chrome retain leather on hand and com
ing through their yards. To-day they
have millions Of dollars worth on hand
with no market for it this side of the
AtldNLlt. several lhHNeES are Cart y my
from one to two million dollars worth,
They have no legal claim upon the gov
eminent. and have no recourse but to
wait until the embargoes are lifted and
the stock can be exported to the couu-
tries which are experiencing a leather
famine.
At this juuctme the army authorities
asked for bids for supplying $4,000
pairs of army shoes to be cut from light
colored straight chrome leather Why the
chrome retain was not specified no one
knows. If it was best in war it should
be good enough in peace. Chrome retain
stock could be obtained in any quantity
at Is cents foot less than straight
chrome. This would have effected a saw
ing of 60 cents a pair, or So POO.
This amount may appear small in view
of the habit we have acquired Of count
ing everything in billions, but there is
the moral obligation which should have
bound army officers to assist the tanners
who came to their rescue when General
Pershing was cabling frenzied appeals
for shoes made from chrome retain
leather stuffed with grease. This leather,

ties in London began an investigation
which now has been followed by the
courtmartial proceedings, From state
ments made by representatives of Cap
tain Chamberlain it appears that 1t will
be urged in his defense that the lack
of confirmation from British official
sources Of his aerial feat may be due
to the fact that the British officers re-
sponsible for the airpane service on the
front would lay themselves open to
courtmartial if they admitted they had
allowed the American Lieutenant to fly
one of their machines; also that it was
contrary to the unwritten law of the
ROYAL air force that publicity should
have been given the then lieutenant's
feat, this leading to general denial Of
the facts in the case in a perfunctory
report without a real investigation.
