SENSIBLE Shoes
MERELY FICTION
When MiIady Goes Shopping
She Finds Weird Styles Are
Still in Favor.
By United NetoS

By Unfted NetcS
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-"Sensible
shoes are returning to favor
This is a bit of fiction that gets wide
circulation every spring and fall when
the fashions change. And women take
heart and start out to find some.
Since it is fashionable, one might
Just as well be sensible.
So the woman who has let her feet
spread out to a double ''E' width by
wearing low, fiat sandals. and she
who has eliminated her arches entirely,
but gained an opposing array Of bun
ions through her devotion to short
vamps and high heels, start out to-
gether and sit side by side in the shoe
shop.
Then the sales person brings some
thing perfectly beautiful in pearl gray
leather, hand-painted with gold or
blue, or a daring pair Of tans, stained
with a brown landscape scene, and
waits for vociferous comments Of
praise.
81 wanted something perfectly SEN
sible." one woman manages to gasp.
Whereupon the sales person, an
noyed, but mindful of his obligations,
brings out pair of pumps with
places where you can put perfectly
stunning colonial buckles. Then he
shows you a pair of cut steel ovals
which you can have for twenty do\
lars. but assures you that you can %
something much more fetching if you
want to pay the price.
Makes Last Stand
Still conscience prompts the visitors
to make a last stand for something
sensible.
The salesman grudgingly but tri-
umphantly brings a pair Of really
sensible shoes, low heels, support and
all, and both women realize immedi-
ately that wasn't at all what they
wanted. They abandon the idea Of
being sensible, and all goes well.
This is a season to be extravagant
If you like, but not to be sensible.
Vamps are neither extremely short,
but take medium course between the
two. It is supposed they will Iengthen
rather than shorten as the season ad-
vances, since long vamps and long
dresses have a certain recognized af-
flnity for each other.
Colonial Pump Holds Place
One sees many strapped models,
but the colonial pump has the play.
There is a tendency to use two kinds
Of leather in the same boot--kid ones
are trimmed with strappings Of
patent leather, or perforations reveal
a different shade Of leather under
meath.
Heels are no higher, and are Span
ish rather than French in cut. Very
high. slashed tongues are seen on OK
fords, which robs them of their severe
appearance.
One smart patent leather walking
oxford has many diamond shaped
perforations about the toe, and turns
down at the top after the fashion -
a soft shirt collar. A model for -
women with slender ankles.
Very few high shoes are shown, but
there are rumors Of them all along
the line.
Gold and silver brocade slippers are
still favored for evening wear. but
there is a tendency to introduce a shot
Of color that will harmonic with the
frock, thus inaugurating a system
that necessitates two or three pairs
where one was once adequate.

Hoodlumism Rampant
Human nature showed itself

Human nature showed itself in
it's ugliest mood, both ignorant and
cowardly, in the attack upon Com
missioner Lands. 1t is quite pos
sible to defend the crowds suspi-
cions as to the fairness Of calling
the game. Now that worlds series
has become vast financial transac-
ton it is next to impossible to have
it viewed as a sporting event un-
defled. Excitement, tensity, emo
tion remain; the old glamour has
vanished beneath weight of cash.
But in venting it's sudden burst
of wrath against Judge Lands the
Polo Grounds fans simply went
mad dog and acted as insanely
and unfairly as mob always acts
under stress of violent emotion.
The decision to end the game on ac-
count of prospective darkness was
an umpire's decision, with which the
czar of baseball obviously had moth
ing to do. Upon his integrity and
upon the consistent effort to
purify baseball there has been no
slightest shadow. The crowd of
fans simply looked about for VIC
tim and Judge Lands came hand
lest. All mob judgment operates in
just such blind, lunging fashion.
The crowd cheered Judge Lands
yesterday by way Of apology. 1t is
too bad that a personal apology
cannot be forced from every fan
who Joined in the original burst of
hoodlumism. Any fan with a sense
OF decency would be glad to sit
down and write such an apology
voluntarily. But hoodlums are not
built that way.

just issued is proof Of where such q
policy must land him.
Mr.. Hylan has been lately In q
conciliatory mood toward the Tran
sit Commission. He lately spoke
with unexpected politeness to it's
chairman, and agreed that both he
and the commission were seeking to
obtain much the same results. The
commission has now met him half
way by agreeing to help him to con-
tinue some Of the bus lines. This is
in the public interest, and it ought ia
make MIR. Hylan see that the COM
mission is as desirous of serving the
public as he is.
A succession of conferences and
the adoption of plan to establish
lines where they are needed as feed
ers will save the citizens much in
convenience in the future. This Mr..
Hylan can bring about if he chooses.
II he does not choose, the people who
are deprived of their only mode of
transit will know whom to blame.

Saving Austria

The tottering Austrian state is to
be put upon it's feet for time by
the loan just made to it through the
agency Of the League Of Nations.
The Austrian government is empow-
cred to issue bonds to the value of
650,000,000 gold crowns, Great Brit
ain, France, Italy and Czecho-Slo-
vakia guaranteeing payment of prin-
'cipal and interest. Austria pledges
her customs and tobacco monopoly
receipts as security and promises to
balance her budget.
The Treaty Of st. Germain ruth
lessly dismembered Austria, detach-
ing from the old Hapsburg dominion
Bohemia, Moravia, Slovakia, Galicia,
Bukowina, Dalmatia, the Adri-
stlc coast province, parts Of the
southern Slav provinces, Trent and
a section of the German-speakinp
Tyrol. Vienna was left, the over.
grown capital of a small and poor
agrarlan republic. The Austrians
met their fate with fortitude and
without recrimination. They have
not tried to obstruct the enforce

talked or revenge. Sadly, wistfully

The Ban on Strikes

The bankers convention voiced
an opinion which has been taking
firm hold in this country when it
said in one of its resolutions: eft is
our belief that in those industries
whose continued operation is essen
tial to the wellbeing of the whole
people organized strikes should be
regarded as against the welfare of
the state"
The coal and rail strikes of last
suSamer were instances of gross
abuse OF group power at the expense
of the public. They were strikes in
imical to public welfare. The miners
not only dug no coal themselves but
did everything they could to prevent
any one else from digging coal. The
Herrln massacre was part Of this
effort. The householder who needs
coal to keep from freezing and the
manufacturer who needs it to keep
the wheels industry going were to
be sacrificed alike to the determina-
ton Of the czarlike president of the
United Mine Workers not to allow
war scale wages to be Debated.
The railroad shopmen struck be-
cause Of wage decision by the Fed
eral Railroad Labor Board in case
In which they themselves had asked
the board to act as arbitrator. Once
out and fred with an uncomfortable
desire to get back, they tried to
coerce the public into bringing pres
sure on their behalf through the
strange expedients of stalling trains,
breaking down rolling stock and i'm
periling the lives Of passengers.
Here again not only was government
regulation Of railroad operation de-
fed but the public's imperative need
Of safe and uninterrupted railroad
service was flouted.
These two strikes were conducted
audaciously and ruthlessly. They
represented brutal group warfare on
the community. The strike was being
converted into weapon of social
disruption. The common welfare was
subordinated to the selfish interests
of small economic groups.
For such assaults on the common
good there must be remedy. The
democratic principle furnishes it.
The state, attacked from the inside
by hostile elements and combinations
Of elements, must reassert the power
Of the majority to restrain minority
aggressions. 1t will be wise use of
majority authority which provides
machinery to squelch other rail and
coal strikes the moment they start.
New-York tribune., 1922-10-07
frances Ability to Pay

Mr.. McKenna's theory of German
inability to pay reparations commits
him to the companion assumption
that France cannot pay her external
war debts. Speaking Of our war
loans to Europe he said: "The in
evitable conclusion is that these in
ternational debts are far too great
for the capacity Of any Of the debtor
countries, except England. B..
Of the others France has the great
est resources, but they are, believe,
quite insufficient to meet her obliga-
tons"
The French government will hard
ly be grateful to Mr.. McKenna for
intimating that France cannot pay
her debt to the United States.
France is not in Germany's class as
a debtor. She is not feigning gov
ernmental poverty. She has not
swindled the world by selling paper
currency abroad and then debasing
its value almost to the vanishing
point. She has not fostered arti-
fetal bankruptcy in order to elude
creditors. M. Poincare said, when
the question of discussing liquidation
of the American account came up:
"F'rance always pays her debts"
All France says-and says reason
ably-is that it is only fair that if
the other Allies will not help her to
collect her dues from Germany, they
should charge off from her account
what they virtually compel her to
charge off from Germany's. If Ger
many is to be permitted to escape, it
ought to be clearly understood that
France is not to be left in the lurch
that those who prefer to have Ger
many escape shall make good by
cancellation Of Frances reparation
deficit. The reparations revision
project, reduced to it's lowest terms,
means that the United States must
pay what Germany defaults on. We
are invited to surrender our military
occupation costs-slready met out of
our own Treasury-and to remit out
of our loans to France and Great
Britain what they remit to Germany
For it would hardly be fair to remit
in the case Of one ally and not the
other.
France asks only a square deal.
She certainly does not regard her.

What Readers Sau
Higher Pay for Patrolnen

To the Editor Of the Tribune.
Sir: For the last six years we have.
In our capacity as volunteer police,
worked side by side with the regular
force and so know better than other
citizens what the regular patrolmen
are subject to, and how necessary it
is that in the performance Of their
duty their minds should be free from
worry over the provision for the physi-
cal comfort Of their families. The nav
for their services to the city is out
OF all proportion to that paid to other
employees. who are not subject to the
dangerous conditions under which
these men work, rs shown by the fol-
lowing figures taken from the budget
items, viz:
Gnskilled laborers. hours daily. $500
Bricklayers, hours daily O oo
Policemen, "a hours daily (after
I'VE years service) .......... e25
The increase in pay which they re-
quest would make their daily pay but

for fair consideration at the hands OF

VIM Are Pictures Bad y By Ho,iens undubm

"Haltl Who goes there7" challenged
the office boy in front Of Adolph
zukor's suite over at Famous Players
one day recently; and we replied, "A
comrade in quest Of the truth" That
was all we wanted-the truth; and
Adolph luxor is noted for telling it.
During the heated season motion
pictures became so bad we decided to
try to find out just why this was so.
Ever since we began to write criti-
cisms of the current pictures-about
five years ago-producers have been
promising better pictures. For while
it looked as though they meant it.
PICTURES got little better and then
they stopped, and lately it has seemed
that they are getting worse.
So we started out to interview the
producers. Perhaps they had not read
what was written about them each
week and were under the impression
that they were making good pictures.
Then it was we learned the truth!
And all ye critics who dip your pens in
vltriol to tell the motion picture world
your real opinion of it's efforts, think
ye that the men who make the pic
lures are withered with your scornful
utterings and crushed with your vitu-
perations? Little wot We! They un-
doubtedly agree with you utterly, but
they are not worrying over it.
1t is the general public which takes
1t to heart, but not because they do
not agree with what you have written.
If we receive one letter saying that
we have been too harsh, we receive one
hundred saying in substance, "Let the

No Last Hike

Crooked roads are irksome," once
wrote Mayor Gaynor. This preiu-
dice, uncommon among walkers, did
not prevent the late Mayor from do
ing all in his power to encourage
walking, and in particular to sup
port the publicity given to Edward
Payson Weston's hikes. He consid-
cred them an inspiration to others to
take UP this form of exercise.
That was ten years ago. Weston
was then seventy-three. To-day
Weston, at the age of eighty-three,
claims that he has finished his last
walk, mere jaunt of five hundred
miles from Buffalo. His health is
still excellent and his vigor unabated,
but he thinks the field may safely be
left to others.
AS matter of fact there has
never been greater need of West.
ons. The art Of walking Is rapidly
becoming obsolete. When Weston
walked from Boston to attend Lin
coins Inauguration in 1861, in order
to give publicity to his pedestrian
propaganda, there was less need for
the campaign which he carried on
than there is to-day. BY his example
he gave great impetus to walking
for exercise. In the decades that
followed his transcontinental trips
stimulated many person to take up
tramping. The greater his age the
more attention he attracted and the
larger the number Of his followers.
But Weston has been farming dur
ing the last decade and his propa-
ganda has been allowed to cease. He
has not been forgotten, but his
teachings have been nullifed by the
mania for speed, which is a natural
result Of express trains, subways
and automobiles. To-day most people
consider it an imposition if they
have to walk few hundred yards to
get to station or trolley line. Even
in the country the flivver has made
walking chore. The country needs
Weston's inspiration. Without him
there is a serious danger that walk
ing will become lost art. Isn't he
still too active to quit?

ternal debts. NJ. Lasteyrie. the Min
lister of Finance, showed the Paris
Chamber of Commerce ON Thursday
that the only obstacle to balancing
Of the French budget is the cost Of
reparations in northern France, met
by France in anticipation Of Ger
man payments. "The fact that Ger
many has not yet paid one cent for
reconstruction, said M. Lasteyrie,
''is the sole cause of our budget diff
ficulties to-day"
The Versailles Treaty and the
findings Of the Reparation Commits
sion guaranteed France moderate
compensation for her war losses. If
she is now done out of this compen-
sation, she will have sound argument
for British and American conces-
sions.

When You Light Your Furnace

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The unnecessary and appalling
loss of life and property by fire every
year is largely due to lack of fore
thought or downright carelessness.
"A few suggestions pertinent to Fire
prevention Week, with the house
holder who is about to light his
furnace fire especially in mind, NAV be
Of value:
l. See that all smoke pipes and
fiues are in proper condition before
lighting the fire. Look especially
for rusted spots and insecure sun
ports.
2. See that all woodwork or other IN.
fammable material within foot of
f1ues or two feet Of furnaces or
stoves is protected by galvanized
iron shields, asbestos board or the
like.
3. Keep the first fire small until
you are sure everything is all right.
q. Watch your drafts. The under
draft left open at night has burned
down more than one house.
b. Clean up your cellar, removing
all loose papers, rags and rubbish.
A large proportion of fires start in
cellars. WILLIAM O. LUDLOW.

More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague
The 10y of Labor

The Joy of Labor
Have you felt the thrill Of the
daily task
The Joy that the workers know?
Do you get throb from man
sized job
AS the long days come and go?
Do your fingers tingle to seize the
saw,
Or whatever it is you WELD,
When you play your part in the
mill or mart
Or the forest or farm or field7
Do you gladly labor with hand or
brain
No matter how great the load?s
Do you sing a song as you march
along,
Though rocky and rough the
road?
Are you we'll content with a life
of toll
AS the world goes rolling on,
And grudge the day that you give
to play
AS utterly lost and gone?
Is doing your duty enough for
you?
Do you hope, when the days
begun,
Your reward will be, at its close,
to see
The commonest task we'll done?
Would you rather keep on through
the summers heat
And the winters chill and
snow,
Than loll at ease in the balmy
breeze,
Where indolent brooklets flow?
Would you rather be part Of this
busy world
Than sit on the velvet grass
Meath a summer sky as the years
go by
And watch the procession pass?
II you would, you may be per-
fectly right,
For the will Of man is free,
But nevertheless I would fain
confess
That you've got a whole lot on
me!

Up to Mr.. Hyla,,

.o3It is announced that the Transit
Cpmmission will approve certificates
tasued by the Board of Estimate tha.
the Hylan buses, ordered off the
streets by Mr.. Justice Mullan, are
serving an emergency. This will
permit the continuance, at least of
some of the lines, till the litigation
begun by the granting Of Justice
Mullan's injunction is disposed Of by
the courts.
Meanwhile the permanent resump-
tion OF the bus service depends
wholly upon the course of action
that the Mayor may adopt. If,
abandoning his futile hostility to the
only authority to which is delegated
the direction of transit in this city,
helwould accept what legislation the
Transit Commission determined to
be. necessary to operate bus lines
where they are really needed, the
program doubtless would be ap-
proved by the next Senate and AS
sembly.
To accomplish this Mr.. Hylan viii!
be forced to admit that the Transit
Commission knows something about
trAnsit. He will have to be guided
By its opinion as to what lines are
aeeessary. He will, in a word, be
fTced to stop attempting to con-
dpct transit by his own fat and seek
tpi secure authority for the enter
usfses he has undertaken.
This may be CALLING to the Mayor,
but it is the only course. Insistence
-onhis attempt to force surface lines
off the street by bus competition viii
gst him nowhere. The injunction
