SHOE MARKET IN
MEXICO CALLS FOR
100000 PAIRS
United States Sends Practi-
cally All Footwear Import
ed Into the Republic.

Monterey, Mex, Jan. 2O.-The an
nual consumption of shoes in Mexico,
according to the figures of 1921, is
approximately 100000 pairs. OF this
total about 100000 pairs are man
ufactured in this country and with the
exception of a limited quantity of shoes
manufactured in Switzerland, practical
ly all the footwear imported here comes
from the United States.
The American shoes is imported ex-
clusively for the consumer Of higher
class and they are sold at the highest
prices in. the Mexican market. The
market for American footwear is some
what reduced to the larger cities. OF
the American shores imported into this
country during 1921. approximately GO
per cent were for men; more than 80
per cent for women and less than 10
per cent for children.
The city of Mexico is the best mar
ket for footwear because the consump-
ton Of the city alone is estimated by
reliable authorities to be $4,000 pairs
per annum. There are at the present
time 80 stores that sell shoes retail.
The shoe manufacturing industry of
Mexico is attributed as follows: Guada-
lajara, four factories for grown up
folks and several shops for children's
shoes with a total production per year
Of 100000 pairs; Mexico City, three
factories of shoes for grown-ups with
4 production of $4,000 pairs; Mazat-
Ian, four factories devoted TO making
shoes for Grown-ups with production
Of 1T5.000 pairs: Hermosillo. one fac
tory with n production of $4,000 pairs
and Saltillo. one small factory with an
annual production Of $4,000 pairs. Total
production. 100000 pairs annually.
In addition TO the factories ennum-
Grated. there are many small estab-
lishments in the cities of Importance
in which the manufacturing of shoes
is done mainly by hand. but in some
instances machines are used. These
little factories produce, as a general
rule, from one to two dozen pairs a day.
and in the towns and villages Of the
republic there are still many of the old
style shoemaker who manufacture shoes
by hand and fill only special orders. To
obtain exact figures with regard to the
production of the last two classes Of
manufacturing is impossible. but by
some estimation which ias been given
by the American consular service in
Mexico it is believed that as many as
100000 pairs of these shoes are pro.
duced every year.
The broad last is generally the one
that has larger demand in Mexico. II

SWEDISH ARTISTS TO
 RECEIVE MORE HELP
Government Will Aid Those in
 Narrow Circumstances

Stockholm, April 1s.--Artists in Sweden who happen to be in narrow circumstances have suddenly been cheered by the news that the gov
 ernment stands ready to spend 270,-
 900 kronor, about 372,ooo, fin the purchase of their pictures. | The Swedish scheme for coming to 1 the rescue of needy artists is peculiar ly favorable to all parties concerned. The government raises the money through a lottery. It acquires valua- blc paintings and sculptures in return for the money granted to the artists. This art is then to be placed in schools, sanatariums, and other gov ernment institutions, where it will prove pleasure to the public, and at the same time help the artist by giving him added publicity for his work.
 The investment of funds and the purchase of art is to be in the hands of a committee of artists and others under the craftsmanship of the fa- nous landscape painter. Prince Eu- gene, a brother of the King of Swe- den. The committee will inspect paintings and statues, and have au- thority to purchase works in current exhibitions where the artists is in need of money.
 Olof Olsson, minister of the eccle- siastical department, under whom the appropriation has been obtained, says that only the highest class of paint ings and statues will be purchased by the government. Thus the movement can be utilized to instill in larger public an appreciation of good works of art.
 No particular schools or tendencies in modern art will be favored by the committee, and none will be discrim- mated agairHt
