HOW TO BRING PRICES DOWN.

The statement Of government officials who have
just completed a survey OF the market for hides,
leather and shoes that the prices of high grade
footwear will come down shortly is encouraging be-
the reason revealed for prediction. Tho
shoe men will have TO lower their quotations the
experts Washington say because If they do not
they will not sell their shoes The people have stop
ped paying outrageous prices for footwear.
Herein Is disclosed the secret of how TO deal with
proAteers II POSSIBLE temporarily do without
the goods. do not pay extortionate price; the
prohteer will be compel TO come TO he
must sell his goods or go out Of business.
II was long the rule in America that the most
expensive commodities those of best quality.
And Americans and have to de-
the best. This has led to the practice of inn
posture by the prohteers who placed unreasonable
high prices their and thus led customers
believe that they were of exceptionally fine quail

A day OF reckoning has come for the Profteers.
Notwithstanding complaints against high prices OF
shoes, manufacturers were confident that demand
for high-priced footwear would continue undated
and imported during the last Il months greatly
increased quantity OF fancy shoe leather. But the
people have decided pay the prices asked. If
consumers can thus force shoe prices down they

commodities. The remedy lies in their hands.

More Truth
Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
JUST \ TIP.

JUST \ TIP.
Director
There are lots of things a tyro
doesn't know,
OF the rumpus and the ruction that
You fellows call production,
Which are requisite TO make a
mOvie-show.
But a rank. and quite unprecedented
outsider,
With no animus nor venom in
his bean,
Though he doesn't criticize you
takes occasion TO apprise you
That the vamps that you en-
ploy are far too lean.
We are basing our remarks on hu-
man nature;
Who's the girl that makes a fell
lows pulses thump?
Not the lady who is lanky, like 4
hungry Cape Cod Yankee.
But the maiden who is beautiful
~ plump.
Who's the Jane that throws a 1T
On the gilden son of Banker Alb
ner Jones?
Is II 1.-THE and lissome Minnie, who
is rather 10 the skinny.
Or Matilda, who has something
on her bones?
If your heroes all were world-worn
Paris rOues,
Or were ancient, grizzly headed
London rakes,
They might fall for the attractions
and the anacondish actions,
OF the vamps whose architecture
apes the snakes,
But the rubes that you want frisked
OF papa's millions,
When they lick a damSel out TO
dance or chat.
Though at Newport or at Coney. shy
at charmers that are bOny;
All the come-Ons from the country
like 'em fat.
It's the plump girl gets the best
Of all the sleigh-rides,
When they harness up the bob
sleds up in Maine,
And the lean girls signs and glances
never get her any dances,
When the girls of the sorOsis en-
terrain.
So you'd best dismiss the svelte
and sylph like creatures.
And YOU will-if you will only
look about
Though the faded city rounder may
prefer the hundred FOUNDER.
All the yaps would rather have
'em rounded out!

AMELIA.

Amelia is derived from that re-

and feminine names.

there was a Duke Amelung recorded
in Danish Ballad lore.
Amala was the earliest feminine
name formed from Anal It was a
favOrite in Lombardy, but soon pen
etrated Germany where It found
vogue as Amalie Meantime. France
and Italy has adopted the Latin
Aemilia and through the similarity
in sound. the two names were
thought 70 be identical. France
compromised the difference between
Aemilia and Amalie and produced
Amelie, the name which has such
vogue there today.
Amelia is the English version. IL
has replaced all other forms,-even
in Germany,-the French Amelie
alone surviving.
The amethyst is Amelia's tails
