"The government is not capable OF running railways on

WANT SLOGAN FOR
GLAZED KID SHOES

At a meeting Of the executive
committee OF the Glazed Kid Week
Campaign yesterday, it was decided
to offer three pairs OF the finest glaz-
ed kid shoes as prizes for the three
best campaign slogans submitted by
any man, woman or child, regardless
of age.
The committee wants a slogan
that will in one short sentence tell
why people should wear glazed kid
shoes from the standpoint Of COM
fort. durability health and ec6nomy.
For instance. something along the
lines OF "Fit feet make fit bodies
or Wear glazed kid and smile"
some phrase that will convey the
idea that it is important for
the health and well-being OF the
average person, that he be COM
fortabiy shod.
Almost everyone has suffered
lat some time or other from
/ the discomfort occasioned by I'M
proper shoes. The average person
dislikes to break in a new pair OF
shoes because Of the tightness and
discomfort experienced. With
glazed kid shoes this difficulty Is
eliminated and because the leather
is so pliable and soft on the feet th'
discomfort OF new shoes is avoided
| r.......o.tt,,, for slogans mus
be sent in by September 3. More
than one slogan can be submitted

ltaining the suggested slogans

Is 1t serious business which en-
cages De Valera and the Dahl

If it's business it's time to come
to grips with it. The British gov
ernment has made an open offer
has set down in black and white
what it will do. The OFFER is such a
one as was never made to this
country in 1775 or 1776-an offer
such as the long line Of Irish lead
ers from Wolfe Tone to John Red
mond all would have been glad to
accept.
why not a decisive "Yes" or
NO? Is It fair to ireland or to
the friends OF Ireland in this country,
or to the world at large, to daily and
delay? Why make an answer and
then intimate that it is not strictly
meant and say that negotiations are
to continue?
II it is stage play, If it is hoped
by protracted bargaining to bluff
something through. then God save
Ireland Such behavior is unworthy
OF men who would present them
selves as competent to rule. Jockey
