NO new STYLES in
SHOES TO Be SHOWN
WITHOUT CHANGE IN FASHIONS
FOOTWEAR WILL ADVANCE
FROM 81 TO Sc IN SPRING.

Styles of shoes will not be changed
for 1920. The style committee of the
national style show made the decis-
ion recently.
Committees of shoe dealers and
manufacturers have met to consider
how the price of shoes can be lower
ed and have decided that one of the
best things to do is to hold to the
present styles.
Blacks, browns, grays, fawns and
whites in kid and buck feathers have
been approved by the national style
committee for this years wear. Low
shoes are selling well. The laced shoe
continues to hold its popularity.
Vamps are made from three to three
and a half inches long. The long
vamped shoe is found to have pleas
ed wearers, who believe that the long
slender foot is better looking than
the short, broad one.
An increase of from 81 to Sc in
both mems and women's shoes will be
found in the spring. 1t is stated that
children's shoes also will come in for
their share of the raise. If the price
of shoes continues to rise the public
will be forced to wear cloth top
shoes and pay as much for them as
is now being paid for the leather tops

FIDNINC FARMERS
LIVING CONDITIONS
CENSUS TAKER is REQUIRED TO
LEARN WHETHER THE FARM
HOUSE HAS A BATH TUB.

When Mr.. Census Man knocks up
on the door of Mr.. Farmers house
he not only asks him how old he is,
how large family he has, how many
head Of live stock he has, and other
such pertinent questions required by
Uncle Sans 1920 count of noses, but
he also supplements his inquiry with
decidedly more pertinent question
as to whether or not Mrs. Farmer has
a bath tub.
Now the bath tub mightn't seem to
have any bearing on the size of ma
tons population, but Uncle Sam has
so largely amplifed his decennial an
alysis of his family this year that ne
is going to find out not only the kind
of an implement Mr.. Farmer employs
on his farm, but also if Mr.. Farmer
is modern enough to use bath tubs,
telephones and other such modern
conveniences.
And when Uncle Sam gets through
his enumeration he can tell you not
only how many persons there are In
his family, but also how many bees
there are in the country to sting
them. For the 1920 census will in
clude all this information, with an
agricultural analysis designed to be
more comprehensive than ever before
in the 100 years the census has been
taken.
1t aims to show how the problems
of farm operation are worked out un'
der modern conditions. In the survey
will be included a new phase whlcf
will show how combustion engine ane
electric motor apply to farm prob
lens. :.
Not only the farmer but his VIE
will be questioned on this point. She
is asked whether she has hot or colo
water. electric lights, bath tubs, ga
for illumination or cooking, and L
she has telephone.
From his agricultural analysis thu
census man will Of course show no no
only the acreage of land under cult
walton. Yields of the crops of all KIND
a complete census of every pig, COW
sheep and head of poultry that has
regular habitat on any farm.

come tax. If he has one child in adj
dition to his wife he receives an ad-
ditional exemption of 5000 or 5000

MARKETS ARE WEAK

Silver in New York and London last week fell to its lowest price since 1917. The grain markets are weaker, banks apparently forcing liquidationH The stock market is still under the weight of commercial uncertainty and the ne- cessity of raising cash to meet Decem- Der Is tax payments. It is already evil dent that Congress will concern itself during the short session with relief for the farmers rather than for the coun- try's business as whole, and that it is likely to authorize a government loan to them instead of pursuing the eco- nomically sounder method of arranging credit to the central empires which would permit the purchase of our grain and give work to our idle ships and semi-idle export firms.
 Instead of a constructive substitute for the excess profits tax, Secretary Houston proposes increases on corpora tion incomes and profits, on the rover brackets of the income tax, and on so- called luxuries. He apparently still be- lieves in taxing where it will be felt" and as a result the proposed taxes prob ably would be evaded and passed on as much as those now exacted. The size of his estimates and the weight with which the taxes would rest on the coun- try are sufficient answer to the agita- tion for soldiers bonus.
 When the tax problem is solved ono of the principal handicaps of business will be removed. It is real handicap, not one of the unfounded fears that are being overcome as people think in facts instead of vague pessimistic rumors which are so hard to counteract because a lie hath a thousands wings and the truth but one.

 New York, December 12.-(SpeciaL)- Business uncertainty and lack of con- fidence are almost synonymous, but the second precedes the first. In the com modity markets uncertainty rules, while wholesalers and retailers express their lack of confidence in each other, the wholesaler accusing the retailer of holding up prices and excessive cancel lations, the retailer charging the whole saler with propaganda calculated to put the burden of loss on him.
 Under such conditions both commod- fty and security markets are marking time. Their fluctuations last week re- suited from temporary or technical in- fluences of which none possessed as much significance for the business fu- ture as does a survey of the retail trade of the country which I was able to com pile last week from the monthly re- ports of the twelve federal reserve banks. The figures indicate an activity (which ought to be as encouraging as |ts lis surprising to those who even in \ Etober were talking of buyers strikes land bemoaning the fact that the quiet ness of retail trade was blocking the movement of goods and preventing the revival of manufacturing.

get to their destination without falling to the ground. That they have hurt themselves and others been due largely to their fears of such mythical obstruc- tions as the buyers strike" Now that they are on the ground they are dis posed to bewail their injuries instead of scrambling ahead.
 WAGE REDUCTIONS
 The way of manufacturers is being made easier by wage reductions. A ma jority of the New England textile mill operators have announced that they will cut wages 22h per cent, affecting 300,000 workers; similar reductions are being made in Scattered mills in other industries, including rubber factories and copper smelters, and in the large cities the salary scale for clerical work CTS has decreased perhaps 15 per cent. Instances of opposition by labor to the reductions are few and far between, and striking example of the gain in its efficiency is reported by the Ma tional Cash Register company, whose production is greater than it was 10 months ago, though the working force is 10 per cent less. Industrial warfare, however. has broken out in the cloth ing and needle trades between employers and the Amalgamated Clothing Work CTS of America The question involved is of the. open shop; the struggle may prove the precursor ofSothers if employ CTS seek to establish the principle while the temporary surplus of labor provides the opportunity.
 Business losses are not excessive, in view of the sharpness of the decline. Failures for the week reported by Brad- streets totaled 337, against 296 last week and 115 and 139 in previous years, when the number was subnormal and the art of failing was practically lost. During the years immediately preceding the war weekly failures averaged close to 300. Bank clearings for the week showed a decline of 14.9 per cent from last year, in terms of deflated dollars and the credit clearing house reports a further slight falling off in wholesale nIrcha
