Cobblers Say
That Public Is
Saving Old Shoes

Shoe repairers report a steadily in
creasing volume of business during
the last three weeks. Not only are
asking * cents to S. an hour rho
more pairs of shoes coming in for re-
pairing, but some OF the footwear
coming In for residing and mending
Is in so worn a condition that ordi-
narily it would be thrown away. For
this increase in their business the
cobbieFs say they are indebted to tho
high prices being asked for all foot
wear. and the prediction of shoe re-
tai1ers that still higher prices will
prevail later on. While many are
OF necessity getting all the wear pos
sible out Of old shoes. others better
able to buy new footwear are in
clined to see possibilities for econ
omy in shoes that formerly they
would have discarded as no longer
serviceable
The repair men find it difficult to
secure enough workmen who know
row to mend shoes. Benchmen are
asking seventy-f1ve cents to one dol
lar an hour. TIE introduction of re.
pairing machinery has greatly in
creased the daily output of repaired
footwear
Owing to the more reasonable
prices prevailing for substitute sole
leather many people have requested
that these grades be used instead OF
real leather.

Scarcity Of Silver
Gives Much Concern
To Jewelry Trade

Manufactures Of rings, pins. med
ais and other articles made OF silver
are disturbed by the continued rise
in the price Of bullion resulting from
largo consumption Of the metal in
Europe and the Orient They are
already forced to depend for their
supply on small purchases from day
to day. Quotations for bullion reachs
ed q new high point on Thursday Of
81. 1854 An ounce in New York and
"a - pence In London. Some mem
bers of the trade predict that silver
will continue to advance until it
reaches a parity with gold. which
would mean a value Of 1923 an
ounce. but one large bullion dealer
expressed the opinion yesterday that
the present scarcity is only tempo
rary. and that the price Of silver will
recede rs soon an the accumulated
export orders can be taken care OF.
In his opinion silvedsmiths and jew
oilers need not fear a.y marked
shortage, inasmuch as only $4,000
600 worth Of silver is used annually
In the United States. while the pro-
duction in this country, Canada and
Mexico for like period is valued at
more than SITS, 100000. He be-
lieves that higher prices will slim
ulate production at the mines suf-
ficiently to check an excessive ad-
vance

Federal Guarantee
Law Would Protect
Buyers Of Fabrics

There Ia, Of course, no novelty in
the movement for so-cAlled pure
fabric legislation. 1t followed tho
enactment of laws for pure foods
and drugs. But the regulation OF
the former is not quite so easy as
the latter classes OF thingA There
has recently been renewed agitation
of an organised character In aid Of
Pure Fabric bill now before con-
gress The principal movers in the
matter are the wool growers and a
RIGS of virgin wool exclusively.
They received some support dur
ing the last week from the laundry
men, who say their troubles are
added to by mercerized cotton mas
querading as silk or linen. There is
much to say In favor Of the propo-
sition that buyers should have a
guarantee Of the kind of thing they
pay for. But some OF the argu-
ments in favor of the Pure Fabric
bill are not calculated to help much.
Take. for instance a leafiet now cir
Culating which was gotten up by
the wooden manufacturer above re-
ferred to. 1t Is directed against the
use of shoddy, or reworked wool.
The texts on which it is based are
two in number. viz: Il. The
worlds supply and production of
virgin wool are greatly inadequate
for the worlds need; and, ?, men
and capital will not engage in sheep
husbandry because it is not suffi-
GENTLY profitable" From these
postulates comes the demand that
legislation should be had providing
for the marking on fabrics, and
garments made of them. the state
ment whether they are wholly Of
virgin wool or of a mixture of that
and reworked wool
