 Shelby, Mont, June 2b.-Tom Gib- bons, St. Paul challenger today ap- parently was at the height of physi- cal fitness.
 T never felt better before fight in my life" he said.
 The challenger staged a brilliant workout yesterday before nearly 500 spectators, the largest crowd that has witnessed any of his afternoon ses- sions thus far.
 With the contest ten days away Shelby has assumed an air of greater activity than during the last two weeks. The streets were crowded yesterday and the opening of many concession stands and amusement places gave the miniature city a car nival atmosphere.
 Signs advertising rooms for rent and meals are beginning to blossom on the front of nearly every structure. In the railroad yards carpenters and rail workers are erecting new stations to accommodate the horde of passen- gers.

High Heels Lead
Footwear Styles
Suede and Patent Leath-
er Materials in
Lead

Nowadays one of the first die
tates of fashion is becomingness,
so it is sometimes hard to lay
dowr any hard and fast rule about
what "they" will wear and what
they" will not wear. The wise
woman adapts :he style to her
type and gives little individual
variations which make our cos
tunes so much more interesting.
So if one should say that every
slipper must have a buckle, the
next day one might see the smart
est of slippers quite unadorned.
However, if any rule could be
laid down with absolute finality,
it would be that slippers must
be buckled.
We dress so much more artis-
tically nowadays-particularly in
regard to our footwear. 4 smar;
froc! is never really charming
unless everything else really goes
with it. SO in the clever choosing
of our footwear we change a
gown into a complete costume.
The most elaborate and strink-
ingly beautiful silk brocades are
the newest materials for the even
ing slipper. And the effect of
these vari-colored, rich looking
slippers below a simply cut frock
is really unusually beautiful.
Many shades are to be seen ming
ling in each slipper, but the pre-
dominating tone matches or, at
any rate, harmonizes with the
frock. Gold or silver kid fire.
quently forms the heels and the
trimming of these slippers, but
as often as not the slipper is en-
tirely of the brocade.
However popular these slippers
may be, gold or silver cloth, either
plain or brocaded is still seen to
fashion the slippers for many OF
the smartest.
As for the cut of the evening
slippers, your choice is practical
ly unlimited. Some have tiny
straps which seem to almost wind
about the ankle, while

coat frocks we wore last year.
Now and again one sees a slen-
der little miss with a graceful
circulac SKIRT, but more often the
skirt is straight with first u
circular flare introduced into it.
One charming coat frock of se"gc
has a circular flare OF crepe Get
in at the closing of the frock.
This is not only smart, but ex-
tremely practical as it gives free
dom for walking without destroy
ing the straight one-piece effect.
The wide rever which covers al
most the entire front of the waist
is of this same crepe.
But doubtless the most clever
ly varied and unusual part of the
afternoon frock is its sleeve. The
long, tight sleeve is the greatest
favorite of the coat frock. But
it must never be a plain, tight
sleeve. Far from it. Over some
long, slender hand will fall a
circular cuff reaching to the
knuckles. Or in a gay cavalier
fashion this circular cuff will be
turned back forming gauntlet.
Then another tight sleeve adj
miring this gauntlet fashion will
assume three gauntlets whose
combined efforts almost reach the
elbow. Or a favored way IS to
have three circular flares turned
down, the top one few inches
below the elbow and the lowest
one falling over the hand. The
sleeve of the satin or chiffon
frock may start out to be long
and tight, but at the elbow it is
very apt to cnange tbs mind and
end by being full and flowing,
quite as fashionably, however, it
may be a full flowing sleeve
straight from the shoulder.
The three-piece suit is sull in
high favor for spring. It, Is such
a convenient and becoming cos
tune, particularly for afternoon,
when one drops into a restaur-
ant for tea or goes calling. The
lovely blouses which peep forth
as one opens the jacket make
really very dressy costume, ap-
propriate for almost any and
every function of the afternoon.
An almost limitless choice is
offered your fancy when you are
choosing the blouses for one of
these suits. If your taste inclines
to the Oriental, a blouse of Per-
sian patterned silk will suit the

POLITICAL BANKING

Although Mr.. Crissinger is to
be merely transferred from the
head Of the national bank system
to the head of the Federal Re-
serve Board, the President has
succeeded in his recent appoint
ments in injecting politics into
the banking of the country. He
refused to reappoint Governor
Harding, of the Federal Reserve
Board, and replaced HIM with Mr.
Crissinger. Comptroller of Cur
rency, and he then undertook to
replace Mr.. Crissinger with Mr..
McNary, of New Mexico, for OBJ
vious politaical reasons. Two Re-
publican Senators on subcom-
mittee of three investigated Nc
Nary's banking methods and told
the President that they did not
regard him as suitable man for
the head of the national banking
system. Since then, one of the
two, Senator Pepper, "heard his
masters voice" and changed his
opinions of McNary.
The only reason for not reap
pointing Governor Harding was
that he is a democrat, and there
was no reason for appointing Nc
Nary except for his value in the
politics of New Mexico. The
President threw these two vastly
important positions into the po-
litical services. The national
bank system is to serve the ends
of Warren Gamaliel Harding.
That Congress intended that
these positions should be kept as
much out of politics as possible is
indicated by the fact that it fixed
the terms of both Offices at more
than four years, thus endeavor-
ing to keep them out Of the quad
rennial "clea? sweep" Btu the
expiration OF Governor Hard
ing's term of office enabled the
President to treat both positions
as spoils, to be offered as re-
wards for partisan services.
No greater mistake could be
made. Efforts have been made
before, and they have been car
ried pretty far in some States, to
make the hanks serve political
