The high cost of living still has sew
eral more steps to descend before
reaching the old base, and to two pro-
prietors of the principal shoe shining
parlors in the city the public can give
credit for bringing it down another
step. Luke Gallagher of the NJ. & G.
shining establishment and Domniek
Bruzzese Of the Miers barber shop both
lowered the price of shoe shining so
far as 'colored" shoes are concerned,
and by "colored" the hootblacks mean
anything other than black shoes. Dur
ing the winter months they have
charged Is cents for shining any pair
of shoes other than black, but yester-
day they made the price of all shines
equal. 10 cents. This is a return TO
cept for the few months this winter,
when the extra charge has been made
for tan, red or other colored shoes.
Yesterday marked the beginning of
the second half of the American lie
gion drive So far the canvassers have
met with moderate success in reply to-
their questionnsire, but there Is still
much to be done before Saturday night
marks the end OF the time limit BY
that time nearly every ex service man
or woman Of Barre shall have had
a chance TO state whether he or she
wish to make claim for compensation.
In order to make the success of the Le
gion certain and complete, IL will be
necessary for the ex-service men them
selves 10 take hold by returning their
questionnaires to the Legion hesdquar
ters a. soon rs possible, or by giving
the canvassers prompt attention. When
the drive il finished it is the Legion's
hope to have the name of everyone
who wishes TO make claim or who has
already done so on file and ready for
the next step toward settlement Also
thew hope to have replies from every
ex.service man even if he does not
wish to file claim so as to check off
their name as accurate information
that they have no reason to claim com
pensation. and do not care to file.
