AT 80 q m wednesday morning
an auto truck filled with black and

for Burke's murder. The men. who
are former English soldiers. are named
the black and tans' because Of the
composite character Of their uniforms:
they are not yet/properly clothed and
they wear the royal Irish constabu-
larry caps with khaki trousers and
khaki tunic. This BaIbriggan party
included several wearing war decora-

"They dashed through the streets.

brandfshing rifles. firing occasional
shots. Many were nlled with liquor.
TWO CITIZENS MURDERED.
They first rushed the shop Of a

"They next entered the dairy kept

the preposterous sort Of shoes
manufactured for girls. They
want broad soles and low heals,
wearing quality, comfort and

The answer Is that unfortunate-
ly they will always find plenty Of
foolish women to Duy foolish shoes,
with high heels that throw the
body out Of balance and disarrange

toes that check circulation.
II girls would. continue the
