ARCTIC SUPPLYLOW
 BECAUSE OF STORMS
Unprecedented Demand Elhausl
 Stocks of New Britain Stores

The demand for "galoshes'', or arc- ties, in New Britain for exceeds the supply. according to various shoe dealers,
 In every store the answer is the same. Wa can't get them" Fac tories are working hard to furnish the merchants with a sufficient mum. Der. but even they are sold out.
 The reason for this great demand is the period Of continuous snow. Peo. pie with low shoes can now still wear these shoes without danger Of catch ing cold-if they have nretics.
 David R. Manning of the Walk. over Shoe company said this after noon that four cases Of arctics were received last Friday and were sold by Saturday night. Mir. Manning and others said that manufacturers nre promising shipments. but until the demand slackens they can not All the orders.
 One local dealer personally visited factories in Boston and other large cities In an effort 10 secure ship ment, but his order was refused as tho factories were SO short Of them.
 Morris Allison said that never be- fore in the history of the Modern Boot Shop has the demand been so great as 1t has been this winter.
 The Besse- Leland store and the AL ling Rubber company have also re- ceived promises of shipments from the factories and wholesalers. bu when these shipments will be received they cannot tell. Freight conditions have held back deliveries. they say. | 'The demand for women's low shoes this winter has been three times that of any other year and conse' auently the demand for arctics has been correspondingly heavy" said William A. O'Neill. manager of the shoe department of the Globe Cloth ing House There has also been ar intense demand for mems arctics and for heavy, work arctics. So we are 1T the same boat with other dealers"

San Francisco, Jan. 1o.--Joe Kirk wood, Australian golf star. won his first tournament in the United States yesterday when he defeated Macdon- aid Smith in the play-of of the Call fornia open championship here. The scores were, Kirkwood 77 and Smith 7s. The match was played over the San Francisco course, real test of golf, with stiff wind blowing across the course from the Pacific ocean.
 Although the par of course. Il, is a mark that has stood the test against all great golfers, Kirkwood and Smith did not play we'll today. Smith was very cratic with all of his shots on the outgoing nine holes and took 4S strokes to make the turn. kiEkwood had a 58 for this nine.
 Coming back Smith got going and played up to the expectations of the large gallery which trailed the pair. It was Kirkwood who was playing poorly on his g. However, his large lead on the outgoing round enabled him to get home just ahead of the Californian.

The ever increasing number OF
automobiles and problems OF trans

tor Ball. II IS the belief OF the Sem

will solve the rural transportation
problem and supplant the use OF the
trolley car TO a great extent. He
saw no reason why buses running

prove the better way TO improve the

Prison Farm for Women
Also to Be Urged Before
Legislature
CLUBS ENDORSE
SUGGESTED LAW

The Rev. w. A. Vrooman, execu-
tive secretary OF the Prisoners Aid
Society. said today that the pro-
posed parole bill will be introduced
in the Legislature within the next
few days. Also a bill has been
prepared 10 authorize the establish
ment of The Newcastle County
Farm for Women" in which female
prisoners will be confined.
He explained that the present ac-
commodation for female prisoners Is
entirely inadequate and is strongly
condemned by the trustees of the
WorkhOuse. II is proposed to put
the women on farm as ie done in
New Jersey and other States. This
farm is to be purchased on the
credit of New Castle county and
managed in manner similar TO
the County Workhouse. in which
men alone will be confined. The
management shall be vested In a
Board of Managers appointed by
Tire Judges of the Supreme Court.
Three OF the FIVE managers will e
women.
In this proposition. Mr.. Vrooman
stated. Kent and Sussex coun-
ties will have practically no finan-
clal interest. The institution would
be pnid for by New Castle
county from which come nearly all
the female prisoners. At present
there are 80 women confined at the
Workhouse for terms ranging from
six months to life. There are two
sentenced for life and two for ten
years each and six for periods of
two years and three years. Only ono
of the 80 is from the lower counties.

Senator Bsysrd made an es-
ton and precautionary measures to

Senator Bayard admitted that he is
a timid person when II comes TO OPP
Grating an automobile. He empha-
sized the fact that originally the
highways were constructed for Pc
destrians and particularly at cross
ings this protection ought 20 be
taken care OF. He further referred
to the many accidents that occur
daily and criticised in a most
friendly way. the measures for safety
that motorists should take when APP

tions of the streets OF Wilmington

rate of speed outside OF the city lin

course OF their daily vocations. to
