ABOUT MODERATE SHOE HEEL
Louis Cuinze Type Regarded as Ono
of the Conspicuous FrivoIties
of Feminine Dress.

One of the conspicuous frivoltes
of feminine dress is the extreme Louis
Quinze heel. These tall, curved heels
are worn on slippers and on formal
footwear of a dainty, dressup char
acter; but street shoes have almost
invariably sturdy sensible heels In
the military or so-called college style.
The college heel is very low and
flat-like the manush heel--and
when the rest of the shoe is smart the
fiat heel is very smart: but a fat heel
on a poorly shaped shoe makes the
foot clumsy. Most women prefer the
military heel, which is something
like the old style Cuban heel except
that it is not quite as heavy, in out
line or in actual weight
The proper shoe for street wear
with tailored costumes, notes fashion
correspondent, is Of mahogany tan or
black Russia calf with the new low
heel and long toe, attractively
stitched and perforated-though wing
tips and extra strappings of leather
are omitted to conserve material.
Formal footwear is slightly more
dainty in type, with thinner sole and
higher heel, and such boots have
usually a top of buckskin or cloth in
pale gray or fawn color.

ANAlYZlNG FARM LABOR.

Farm management studies show that
not infrequently lack of success in
farming is mere matter of faulty
distribution of labor. Where such a
condition exists it is of prime import
ance that the farmer be able to est
mate the amount and the distribution
of the labor involved in his farm
operations, since otherwise, any
change in his cropping system with a
view to securing better distribution
of labor would be largely guesswork,
A bulletin just issued by the depart.
ment. entitled Seasonal Distribution
of Farm Labor in Chester County,
Pa BY George A. Billings, is de,
signed to emphasize the Importance
of well-balanced labor distribution
and to give the farmer practical hints
as to procedure in replanning crop,
ping system.
In the first part of this bulletin
there is given an analysis of the labor
distribution found in actual practice
or 2l5 successful farms. The second
part illustrates how the farmer may
analyze the labor distribution on his
own farm and apply the result with
vie ' to reducing the labor require
ments at the busy seasons and pro.
viding profitable employment for men
and horses during the intervening
slack seasons.
