LEATHER-High Prices Send
Old Shoes to Rep0ir Shops

Shoe repairers report steadily in
creasing volume of business during the
last three weeks. Not only are more
pairs of shoes coming in for repairing,
but some Of the footwear coming in for
resoling and mending is in so worn
condition that ordinarily it would be
thrown away. For this increase in
their business the cobblers say they
are indebted to the high prices being
asked for fall footwear, and the predic-
ton Of shoe retailers that still higher
pFices VIII prevail later on. While
many are Of necessity getting all the
wear possible out Of old shoes, others
better able to buy new footwear are
inclined to see possibilities for econ
omy in shoes that formerly they would
nsye discarded az no longer service
sble
The repair men find it difficult to Sc
cure enough workmen who know how to
mend shoes. Benchmen arc asking rs
cents to 81 ar hour. The introduction
% repairing machinery has greatly in
creased the daily output Of repaired
footwear.
Owing to TIE more reasonable prices
prevailing for substitute sole leather
many people have requested that these
s'soes be used instead OF real leather.

Safety Sought for
Industrial Workers
Accidents Reduced in Many
Plants by Protective
Measures

CLEVELAND, Oct 4.-Deaths due to
accidents in this country during the
time Of our participation in the war
were twice as many as the casualties
OF our soldiers on the battlefield, AL
bert w. Whitney stated before the
Congress of the National Safety Coun-
Gil, which has been in session here this
week. Mr.. Whitney is chairman of
the councils committee on education
According to him, the number Of
deaths due to accidents approximates
$4,000 year, and the number of
serious accidents other than death,
about two million.
"Most of the industrial plants of
the country" he said, "havc done
something to reduce their accidents,
and, III the case Of many, the under
ttaklngs have been thorough and ef-
fective. Many plants have been sue
cesstul in reducing their accidents to
third Of what they were under old
conditions. Workmen's compensation
laws, which place the responsibility
10r accidents directly upon the en-
ployer, had much to do with arousinp
an interest in this work on the part
OF the employer, but, to the credit of
employers, be it said this interest.
se mas goHS forward largely
because of the driving force of the
appeal of humanity and efficiency"
Restoration of confidence between
capital and labor and the humanizing
OF steel plants were urged by Philip
Stremmel, superintendent Of the Hot
Mills National Enamelling and Stamp
ing Company, Granite City, III.
Mr. Stremmel urged the DEVELOPMENT
OF mutual understanding between en-
ploycr and employe, the cooperation of
workers and employers and the svmpa
thetic cultivation by manufacturers of
the employees point of view. Evolution
or revolution, he said, faces the indus
tries OF the country, and if workers
are not permitted to maintain their
newly acquired standards Of living and
employers do not grant some Of the
just demands of labor, chaos will result

A Lease To Be Binding

Conditions Written on Edge of
Newspaper and Signed by
Principals Are Sufficient

A written lease is not necessarily
the usual formidablelooking instru-
ment formally executed by both par
ties. The New York statute re-
quires nothing so formal in order to
constitute valid written lease An
offer scrawled on the margin of news
paper designating the premises. the
term, the rent, and the consideration
for the bargain, and subscribed to by
the landlord is all that needs to be in
writing. All of tina. need not be on
one sheet and may be written in sew
eral places so long as they can with
certainty be read together. The tenant
need not sign the paper but must ac-
cept 1t orally or in some other definite
manner. A written offer by a pros
pective tenant to lease certain prem
ises, on which the landlord writes "ac-
cepted" and subscribes his name, is
sufficient lease if there is considera-
tion, which need not be in money. A
rubber stamp is sufficient signature,
