Ornamental Shoes
Gain in Popularity

r OMEN did not have the length
of skirts and height of shoes to
l. worry about. what would there
be TO think about In fashion? Half
the women who lend themselves to
anxiety are now upset about the short
ness OF Paris skirts, which calls for
eight inches as the rule and twelve
as the exception. Also the casual OBJ
server can see that side drapery Is
giving away to front drapery.
These changes occurred In Paris I'M
medIatcly after the American buyers
left France. which again proves that
no one feels sure in buying French
inspired gown in August that 1t will
be correct in February. But that Is
not the present problem. Let the trade
wrinkle their brows over that. Our
women want to wear what the rest
of our women wear. That's our sar-
torial situation in a nutshell.
Yet we cannot ignore incoming
months. We inevitably do as Paris
does when we have had sufficient time
to wear out what we possess. Follow
ing out this reasoning. 1t is well to
know that the new midwinter skirts In
Paris are pulled about the hips with
pleated drapery down the middle OF
the front, or there is cascade OF
drapery down middle of back. falling
from the neckline TO where it can be
kicked by the heel. Madeleine Vionnet

So much for the changes in skirts.
Now what of footwear? High shoes
are not yet accepted by America and
are not widely accepted In Paris, but
they are a fashion force soon to be
reckoned with. That's another prob
lem.

Real Farmers Get
Nothing to Date
(By Federated Press)

Washington-"Pra none Of
the fundamental legislation sought by
the real farmers of America has been
enacted up to date,'' is the reply Of
the Farmers National Council, headed
by Benjamin c. Marsh and Herbert
Baker, to the suggestion of Senator
Kenyon that most of the program of
the farm bloc in the Senate is now
passed. Kenyon made this argument
in justification of his leaving the Sem
ate for the Federal bench.
cit is unfortunately true" says the
council, "that some members of the
Senate agricultural bloc have worked
against the farmer just as hard as
they could on some needed measures
notably the Norris bill to create the
Farm Products Export Corporation;
on the other hand, other members cf
the bloc have consistently sought to
and interests.
"With the exception of the emerg-
ency tariff legislation, which has been
of little value, the so-called packer
control bill and the bill to permit
control of grain has been passed and
signed by the President. The best
proof of this fact is the farmers des-
perate situation today and the fact
that conference Of farmers and anti
farmers was held last week, called by
the President and the Secretary Of
Agriculture"
The council brands as ridiculous"
the story that j. R. Howard, presi-
dent of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, may be appointed to Ken
yon's place in the Senate; it calls him
400 per cent labor baiater" and a
failure as a farm leader.

New York-"Wall Street gamblers

clared Benjamin C. Marsh, managing

Mr.. Marsh was testifying before

Production of labor's wages has had
a very bad effect upon farm prices"
Mr.. Marsh continued, "and largely ex-
plains the tremendous def1ation which
farmers have suffered.
"The real trouble and the reason
that certain farm leaders are seeking
a cut in railroad labor's wages is that

Senator LaFOIIette
CheCkmates Big Five
(By Federated Press)

Washington - Senator LaFollette
has at least temporarily checkmated
the Big Five meat packers attempt
to regain their hold on the wholesale
grocery business of the United States,
by inducing the Senate to agree to a
modified form of his resolution aimed
at the changing of the consent de-
cree" under which the Wilson admin
istration compromised the punish
ment of the packers for their lawless-
ness as disclosed by the Federal Trade
Commissions investigation. The La
Follett resolution as adopted calls
upon Attorney General Daugherty for
the record of all negotiations and
hearings on the subject of the pro-
posed modification of the courts de-
cree which separated the packers
from their food monopoly in scores of
lines.
Debate in the Senate brought out
the fact that Daugherty's agent, Gal
loway, replying before the District
Court to the protest of the Southern
Wholesale Grocers' Association
against modification of the decree,
said that "This Government, your
honor, does not need any Ku-Klux
Klan or any Southern Wholesale
Grocers' Association or any similar
association to enforce its laws"
When this quotation was read by
LaFollette, Senators Overman, Robin
son and others indicated irritation
that the department took so arbitrary
stand. LaFollette explained that
Galloway was later selected as an
impartial" spokesman for the De
partment of Justice with simllar
spokesman for the Departments OF
Commerce and Agriculture, to hear
testimony on the proposed moditica-
tion of the decree.
The resolution adopted by the SEN
ate further instructs the Committee
on Agriculture to fully investigate the
whole attempt to modify this decree,
in view of the fact that any moditjca-
tion "would entail upon Congress the
reconsideration of the subject in part
covered by the packer and st,ckyards
act of 1921"
If Daugherty asks the court to let
the packers resume their food monop-
oily, Congress may enact real pack
er-control bill.
