PRICE OF SHOES
 IS GOING UPWARD
Producers Report 122 Per Cent.
 Advance in Cost

The Herald mentioned the other d sharp advance in the price of shoes More information on this interesting eff unpIeasanD subject has been ob- tained from trade papers and other sources
 Shoes that now sell for S9 a pair more in the 1920 spring season. Shoes that sell for SIP will cost about $15. The dealers give warning that people should not, on seeing higher prices ahead rush to buy shoes, because such action on the part of customers would only serve to lessen stocks unduly and increase the later season prices.
 Retailers, wholesalers and tanners, through their trade organizations and Well-informed trade papers, have issued a warning Of mounting prices, giving as the param Ount reasons the high cost of raw materials, the un- precedented demand for leather and shoes at home and abroad, and the advances in wages paid to labor in all branches of the shoemaking in dustry
 According to the findings of Fred erick Lawrence, who has reviewed the situation for a New York news paper, the mounting cost of shoes is another House That Jack Built. In ascribing reasons for higher prices the holder of each place in the ec)- homie succession points to the hol1er of each next place in the line.
 Retailers who in normal trles figure on 30 to 40 per cent. profit, and in some cases in abnormal times on 50 per cent. profit must raise prices to meet increased costs. Wholesalers manufacturers and tan- ners declare they must raise 1heir prices, although figuring on no higher per cent. of profit than tlzAy earned before the war, because of increased wages and increased cost of hides The packers and distributors, stating have been smaller during the past year than ever before, also ascribe increased costs to conditions beyond their control.
 President Fred A. Nogel, of the Tanners council, has stated in sum- marking the situation in hide costs:
 "There is no question that high prices were caused by the good old rule of supply and demand Not only in this country, but the European countries, in their anxiety and nerv- ousness to replenish their stocks,

DOCTORS OBJECT
 TO TRAFFIC RULE
Want Permission to Leave Cars
 on Street

Following the arrest of several of the doctors during the past few weeks for allowing their automobiles to re- main in restricted districts over 10 minutes, medical men in the city are getting more and more inCensed at Mayor Quigley's veto of the council action in recOmme ending an ordinance which will exclude the doctors from arrest for violation of the parking rules. Efforts will be made to have this matter brought into the council again, and a move will be made to have the council OVerrulC the mayors veto, if it deems it wise to do so.
 At a previous meeting the doctors asked the council to give them per- mission to let their cars stand in re- stricted districts as long aS necessary. The council deemed that this prOpO- sition was a fair one and voted to recommend such permission. The matter was then brought to the mayor for sanction and he vetoed it. The council did not pass it over his veto, so the matter died right there. The mayor gave for his reason that such action would be "class legislation"
 The doctors fail to see where such term is fitting because their req son for asking this permission is not for their own convenience but for the convenience of the public. One doctor cited a case where he was called to a house in the extreme northern part of the city to treat a child who had swallowed a large piece of meat which lodged in the throat. He grab bed his bag, rushed out of his office into his machine which was stand ing directly outside of the office door, and with the right of way through Main street he got to the house quickly The child had almost stop ped breathing but her heart was still beating and the life was saved.
 The same doctor keeps his auto on Washington street and if he were obliged at the time of the incident to go to Washington street to get the car and then travel to Lasalle street, the child would have been dead.
 There are about five doctors in the National Bank building and two of them have chauffeurs, so that three ma chimes would be parked outside. Across the street there are four doc tors, three of whom do not keep their machines parked in front of their offices anyway, so the traffic conges- tion to any great degree would not be caused if the doctors were allowed to park their cars. Further action getting permission to park their autos.

have been active and anxious buyers in the market.
 "There are considerable stocks ot raw material scattered all over the world that can be made availa ble for American tanners provided the Ship ping Board or some other agency of the government sees that additional ships are provided for South America, for India, for China, for Vladivostok and later for Riga. There are ac- cumulatiOnS at all of these points which, if made avaia ble for this country, no doubt would have d good effect on our prices here.
 "'The Tanners council will make every effort to secure additional ships tO bring in this raw material because it feels that it is it's duty toward the public and the government that this be dOne."
 Manufacturers state that the cost of producing shoes has increased 122 per cent. since 1915 ,. The increased cost in the principal materials used in making shoes is shown in this table:

ANOTHER DRUNK!
Hartford Man Secured Gin From Lo- cal Friend and Sleeps on Car Tracks Pays $o Fine.

One plain drunk Joseph Kragil of Hartford, was the sole occupant of the prisoners pen in police court this morning. He was arrested last night at 7:3O near the railroad tracks a the lock shop pond by Officer P. O. Meara, and he was so drunk that it took near ly five minutes to awaken him, the officer said Gin, secured from d friend at his home was the cause of Kragips downfall.
 When arrested a "hObo kit con- sisting of a cemb, pieces of string, pins, court plaster, etc, was found on him and he was questioned today re- garding the means of obtaining his living. His explanation of being forced to lay off work because of poi son ivy having come into contact with his body was satisfactory and charges of vagrancy were not brought.
 A small boy was lectured by Prose- cutOr Klett before court and allowed to go on his promise to discontinue his practice of sleeping out nights The trouble is apparently not only with the boy but also with his stepfather, who, is is claimed, beats and kicks him.

As Illustrating one reason for the shortage of hides and skins, it is pointed out that importations from 1916 to 1918 were as folloWs:, 1916 726,310,4 0,405 pounds, valued at $172- 603,316; 1917 631, ,065,6S2 pounds valued at s2O9,73O,44O; 1918, 361- S9O,S9 pounds valued at $1OS,O43- 7O3.
 The labor wage increases accord- ing to the estimates of several manu- facturers, averaged during the past two years as follows: Sewers from S22 per week to S45 and $57; machine men from s30 and $45 to $7O and $50; cutters from $30 to $45. In addition the hours of work have been reduced which necessitated the employme ent of more men with a resultant in crease of payrolls.
 The cost of hemp, linings nails, tWine, eyelets, sole leather. cork, felt and every other article that is used in the making of shoes has increased from 100 to 300 per cent. The cost of sole leather, for instance, in 1910 was 33 cents a pound, while now it is S1.O5, and a further increase is pending.
 The Shoe Retailers, official organ of the retail shoe trade, has ascribed the mounting cost of shoes to the European demand for hides, the world shortage of skins and increases in labor wages.
 Shoe dealers place the average increase in retail prices since 1915 at 105 to 11O per cent
