Shoe Prices
Can't Tumble
Dealers Say
They Declare 20 Percent De-
crease "PrepoSterousi"
Cost Going Up Here,

"preposterous," ridiculous" "ut-
tcrly absurd" are a few OF the express
sion, made by Oklahoma City shoe
dealers when they read the telegraph
dispatch yesterday, regarding the pos
sibili,y of 20 percen, drop in the
price OF shoes.
I'VE ATE paying more r'Cht now for
shoes than we have ever paid before
and. from indications will pay still
more, with it almost impossible to get
some lines" said Tom Scanlln. buyer
for a downtown shoe department, wh)
recently returned from New York
City and other eastern points.
The story from New York yester-
day was a statement by J, Frank Nc
Edwaln, president OF the National
Boot and Shoe Manufacturers asso-
citation. IN which he says. "Shoes
have dropped 20 percent since the
mlddle OF August and are gong to
take Still another drop after Christ
mas" He qualities this however, by
adding that, the consumer should no.
tee these declines beginning next
April. as the shoe now being manu-
Iaetured will not be marketed until
that time" McElwain attributes the
alleged decrease to a falling off in
the demand from Europe
refii,ltiOn ot this Is the fact that
the British Chamber OF Commerce IN
London is now endeavoiing to have
restrictions withdrawn on the amount
Of shoes that may be exported from
this country to England, say the deal
ers here.
Prices have gone up at least 80 per
cent since the first OF July. dealers
here say, and there are h,rong reasons
TO believe they will advance another
20 pcrcen, before April |. 1920 with
prices so high on some lines as 70
make them prohbi,ive,
The reason 2rwell, there are many,
the dealers say. Mainly Il is due to
70 shortage OF leather Mo-, Just plain
cowhidgs, but kid leather. One deal
er said yesterday a laborer will not
wear cali skin shoes any more, bu,
wants KID leather stock, always. This
must be imported, as the american
brand OF kid leather is too soft, has
a onr-way graih that causes it to

IN transporting troops, particularly
IN bringing the Army back to the
united States, was the outstanding
wartime achievement of the Navy.
Regarding the enlargement of the
Pacific Coast bases, Mr.. Daniels said
ne could not too strongly urge that
Congress make a beginning in the
development of shore bases, Navy
yards and air stations on the Pacific" T"
Proper care of the vessels of the
Pacific Fleet, he added, makes such
action vital
The report paid high tribute to
the services of naval reserve officers
and men during and after the war
without whom" it said, I'VE could
not have manned the ships and
carried on the war" Secretary
Daniels characterized the naval re-
serve force as an invaluable asset
to the Navy and urged that Congress
make ample provision for retaining
and Strengthening the organization.
Advocating temporary increases in
pay of officers and enlisted men and
increase in amounts allowed for COM
mutation of quarters and other al
lowances, the report declared that
high wages offered by the merchant
marine and shore concerns was caus-
ing many officers and men in the
navy to become dissatisfied and was
resulting in an abnormal number of
designations.
The Navy has been demobilized
from a wartime strength of more
than 100000 officers and men to
1000, of whom 5000 are reserves,
the report said, and enlisted men are
badly needed to man the greatly in
creased sea-going establishment.
Praises Welfare Work
High tribute was paid welfare or
CARNATIONS for close cooperation
with the Navy and labor was euli-
gized for its patriotic response to
the cry for increased and sustained
production of war materials. Promi-
nent naval officers, notably Admirals
Sims, Benson, Mayo, Rodman and
Wilson, Rear Admiral Knapp, who
succeeded Admiral Sims in command
abroad. and the officers who par
ticipated in the transatlantic flight,
received praise for exceptionally
merltorfous service. The value of
the Naval War College, at Newport,
*. l., was graphically dem onstrated
during the war, the report declared,
adding that "the day will come when
one of the requisites to command of
q fleet, squadron, division or battle
ship will be a diploma from this
institution"
Salvage and sales of materials
found to be surplus after the war
has amounted to $70,000,O00, Mr..
Daniels said, while the sale of small
auxiliary craft has netted 100000.
He added that all except 800 naval
contracts made during the war had
been settled
The records of the Marine Corps
and the Coast Guard during the war
We're reviewed and highly praised,
and the proposed transfer of the
latter service from the Treasury De-
partment to the Navy Department
was advocated.
Splendid results have been accom-
plished by naval administrations in
the Virgin Islands, Haiti, San Do
mingo. Samoa and Guam, Secretary
Daniels declared, particularly along
sanitary lines, and in the quelling
of banditry and lawlessness and the
improvement of financial conditions.

Plenty of Food in
Pressburg, Slovakia,
While Vienna Starves

PressburS, SlovalSia, Dec. S.-No-
where in Europe exists such sharp
contrast in food conditions as be-
tween this place and Vienna. While
the great city fifty miles away goes
hungry and meatless day follows
IheatIess day, here is food in abund-
ahce, and cheap. There were six
meats on the dinner card of a hotel
mere to-day and every winter vege-
taple the climate affords. Whipped
cream, butter and cheese, fresh eggs,
Whlte sugar and pastry are to be had
IN every restaurant. The hotels are
steam heated and smoke issues
from every chimney.
This was the rich hinterIand of
vienna before the disruption and
poured the products of it's fertile
Iieius INTO the capital. Now a new
poiltlcal boundary intervenes and
NOT one pound of supplies may pass
INTO Austrian The cars of the broad
suase electric line may not cross
the frontier. Passengers descend
at the border and walk several hun
dred yards to another car and SOL
dier guards at both the Austrian
ana -Slovakian sides search
everyone carefully. Passports are
examined as If war prevailed.
A business man of this city admit
tea to the correspondent that the
region could export food in appreci-
apie quantities as well as large duan-
Titles or ffrewood. But the Austrian
crown is so cheap and government
regulations against sending food
from the country so rigid that no
hesotlatlons seem possible.

Skirts Of Milady
to Be Still Shorter

Cleveland, Dec. s. womens
skirts will be frankly short for
the spring season of 1920 and the
prices for the skirts will be no
lower.
Such is the decree, immutahle as
the laws of the Medes and Persians
OF the Style Committee of the Ma
tional Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manu-
facturers' Association in session
here.
The style committee went into
partlcularlties. They decreed that
the hens of fashionable women's
skirts shall be from seven to nine
inches above the carpet, lawn or
pavement, and the hens of skirts
that adorn charming young misses
snail not approach their pink toes
nearer than ten inches. There NAV
be some idea of economy in this
pronounciamento; every inch of
skirt saved may cut the high price
a trifie. But the style committee
did not say so. ~

Busts of Former Vienna
Royalty Going to Museums

Vienna, Dec. S.-The government
has begun removing from public
buildings the statues, busts and por-
traits of former royalty and royal
favorites and servants. These OBJ
jects are being placed in the mus
Gums along with other historical
relics. This week the bust of the
famous former Mayor Lueger was
removed from the Town Hall and
sent to a municipal museum. 1t was
Lueger who naturalized nearly 2OO,-
600 Czech residents to get their
votes and thus kept himself in Of
flee and at the same time laid the
foundation for the present Czech
movement here to demand Czech
schools for their children. This ele-
ment while claiming Austrian ma
tionality persists in striving to main
tain their original racial segregation.

Jap Cotton Yarns

Without Knowing the
Fate of Her Husband

New York. Dec. S.-Senora Felipe
Angeles, wife of the Mexican revo-

by Carranza troops, died yesterday
without having been informed of her
husbands arrest and death. She
came here from Ell Paso three
months ago suffering from nervous
exhaustion caused by fear for her
husbands safety and gradually grew
worse. At the time of General An
geles' execution her condition was
SO feeble that her friends deemed IL
inadvisable to give her the news
ana she remained in ignorance to the
END. She leaves four children.
Sonora Angeles was 43 years old.

One Hundred Colleges
Seeking Additional Funds

New York, Dec. S.-A canvass of
the colleges of the country, com.
pleted here to-day by the Harvard
Endowment Fund. shows that there
are at least one hundred American
institutions of higher education
which are now either planning or
conducting campaigns for added
funds with which to carry on their
work. At conservative estimate
without counting the state univer-
sites which are seeking more money
from their legislatures, these ap-
peals collectively will reach a body
of 100000 college graduates, from
the shores of New England to the
coast of the Pacific.

runs from Harvard, with $4,000 Iiv-
ing alumni, to Reed College, Ore

Invents Method to
Make Colored Photos
Possible to Everyone

London, Dec. S.-A secret emul-
sion, invented by Russian profess
sor, which is is asserted. will make
color photography possible for
everybody, is about to be introduced
into this country. The problem OF
making the process capable of snap
shot as we'll as time work is claim
ed to have been overcome and the
exposure can be as rapidly as with
the ordinary emulsion, thus fitting
the invention for moving picture
work also.
Special cameras and plates will be
/, on the market shortly and the cost
of a colored film is expected to be
only 25 to 20 per cent. higher than
the ordinary black and white type.
