their really worthwhile reductions.
Many OF the shops-even of the most

White shoes can usually be bought :
at much lower price at this time of

almost every woman's wardrobe there

some doctors insist on it--and in so
doing start in developing the mus
cles of their ankles. But their an
kles will not be so slender as were
the ankles of . former generation.
OF course there is difference of
opinion as to just what constitutes a
beautiful ankle. Undoubtedly the very
slender ankle makes the foot 1t car
ries appear larger than the same foot
would appear attached to a normally
developed ankle. Then, too, 1t some
times happens that the size of the
ankle is due not to muscular devel
opment but to swelling, which is kept
down by the strapping or lacing of
the ankle. This, of course, is a con-
dition that ought to be treated at it's
source, as physical disorder of some
sort.
Enough women there still are who
covet an unnaturally slender ankle to
be responsible for this present-time
demand for high shoes for house
wear. Some women who do their
own housework, in whole or in part,
or who take care of their own chill
dren or potter in the garden have
adopted the plan of wearing high
laced white canvas shoes for work
ing hours. These give the necessary
lightness without much additional
weight or warmth.

Mother stays at home most all day."
she says, "and when she's home she
wears high shoes. Then when she
goes out she has slender ankles to
show. But with any one always on
the go the way I am, that sort of
thing can't be done.

usual answer is, after showing only
two or three models Of oxfords, I'VE
expect a larger variety of oxfords in
for Autumn
Black patent leather oxfords will
be among these and one variety will
show three buttons and buttonholes

coming into its own again, though

that they have no advantage to the
woman who is inclined to wear high
shoes for the sake Of her ankles, for
they give very little more support to
the ankle than do low shoes.
To most Americans the high-heel-
ed laced oxford smacks strongly Of
Paris. 1t is. in fact, a type of shoe,
especially when combined with a
somewhat strong vamp, that always
appeals more strongly to the Europ-
can woman than to the American,
who usually finds the chubby. stocky
outline that such shoe is inclined to
give rather uriattractive.

" cases of some of the smart
est shoe dealers. One is OF
suede laced very high, with a mar
row patent-leather tip. Another, en-
tirely of black patent leather, shows
straps of the patent leather from the
turn of the instep to the top, and these
fasten with buttons and buttonholes.
A storm shoe Of medium height shows
a broad, fat heel. The shoe laces to-
gether with an overpiece of leather
from the back of the heel that buckles
together at the ankle.
But the shoemaker who presents
these shoes frankly says that he
does not expect to sell them except
to actresses. The rest of womankind,
he feels convinced. will remain faith
full to low shoes - slipper, oxford,
pump.
Another we'll known maker of smart
footgear says emphatically that the
only real change he expects to make
Is to get away from the fancy and
elaborate shoes and to make them as
simple as possible. This is in response
to demand from his discriminating
customers for a simpler. more dis
tinctive type of foot covering.
On the other hand. there seems to be
widespread feeling among shoe
dealers and women who wear the
shoes that high shoes are going to
be worn more the coming Autumn
and Winter than they were.
When we get together after the
store is closed" says a young shoe
saleswoman much interested in her
work fitting shoes to well-dressed
women. 'and report on what calls
have been made that we have not
been able to fill, there are always re-
quests for more high shoes. And the
demand seems to be increasing.
"A variety of high shoes is going to
be part of our new stock for Autumn,
and think Wen be able to sell them.
too.
"It isn't so much that there's goink
to be an actual style demand for
them," continued this young woman.
Its little too soon to expect that,
but there are a whole lot Of women
who have decided to wear high shoes
at least part of the time so that the
rest of the time they will be able to
show slender ankles. Yes, the demand
now is for high shoes for house wear
and low cut shoes for the street"
THE physical culture expert might
be able to convince you that the
fuller. ankles of the present genera
tion of young women were more to
be admired than the slenderer an
kles that women possessed before
low shoes became so generally worn.
The girl who used to wear tightly
laced shoes when she walked or
played golf or indulged in other sorts
of exercise sometimes thought that
she was giving her ankles necessary
support, keeping them from spread
ing. But the physical culture expert
might dispute this point.
What she was probably doing was
preventing the normal development
of her ankle muscles. The really
strong ankles are the ankles that
have been given room enough to de-
veIop. You really do hear of fewer
cases of strained and sprained ankles
nowadays because low shoes are the
rule rather than the exception among
women. -.-, ..,

strong that oxfords were going to
be revived. In fact certain women
of very discriminating taste did wear
them last spring. They were usually
made to order for this discriminating
minority. The shoemaker who, feel
ing that this flash in the pan was sig
nificant of coming taste, laid in a
goodly supply of high-class high-heel-
ed oxfords only to find himself forced
to sell them later on at a trifle in
order to get them of his shelves was
in bad luck.

There is no real departure from

as quite as much an offense to fash

why, you often see housemaids
nowadays with trimmer ankles than
their mistresses. They wear high
shoes for their busy hours in the
morning, then when they put on
black slippers with their afternoon
uniform they have ankles that a cho-
rus girl might covet."

1T may, after all. be that a return
= ing admiration for the unnaturally
slender ankle will have greater in
f1uence in bringing high shoes back
into fashion-for certain hours of the
day at least-than weariness OF low
shoes. For truly women everywhere
seem to be concerned because their
ankles are less slender since low
shoes have permitted them to become
more muscular. In more than one
smart shop can now be bought de-
vices for reducing the size OF the
ankles without wearing high shoes.
And women take pains to reduce
their ankles just as they do their
double chin, thick upper arms and
too prominent bust or diaphragm.
These ankle reducers may be worn
at night if preferred, though they are
quite light and thin and often worn
beneath the stockings with low shoes
or slippers.
At one Of the smart shoe shops
the prediction was made that Au-
tumn would bring forth new sort of
high shoe with an inset of rubber at
the side--a sort of revived congress
gaiter. These shoes. it is said, have
already been worn by a few smart
Parisians. They are simply pulled
on-no bother with 1aces or buttons.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
 BEGINS 26TH YEAR
 CF WORK IN ALASKA

The Department of the Interior an nounces today that the Geological Survey has begun it's 26th successive year of investigation of the mineral resources of Alaska.
 During this time it has mapped the topography and geology of over one- third of Alaska's total area of 586,4OO square miles. It has investigated in at least preliminary way every pro- ducing mining district in Alaska, and has mapped many of these in detail. Since 1905 it has annually collected and published statistics of mineral production of the Territory The re- suits of this Alaska work are publish ed in 380 different reports and over 400 maps, which throw much light on the resources including water supply, as we'll as the topography and geology of Alaska.
 In 1924 a detailed typographical survey is being made of the Hyder district of southeastern Alaska, by K. M. Wilson, typographical engineer. A. f. Buddington, geologist, is con tinuing his investigation of the geol- ogy of southeastern Alaska. This year he will investigate parts of the Ketchikan, Wrangell- and Juneau dis .tricts. F. H. Moffit is studying the geology and copper resources of Prince William Sound, while s. R. Capps, assisted by Kenneth Landes is making a supplementary examina- tion of the Matanuska coal fields.
 Special attention has been given since 1921 to petroleum on the Alaska Peninsula. This year W. R. Smith, geologist assisted by Ernest Roschen, is continuing this work in the Cold Bay oil field.
 There has long been a hiatus be- tween the mapped area of Mt. Nc kinley region and of the Iditarod- -Kus kokwim region. In 1924 R. H. Sargent Typographical engineer, will in part fill up this gap by carrying 9 survey from McGrath to the gold district at the head of Nixon Fork of the Kus- kokwim and to Lake Minchumina. He is accompanied by John Brown, geo. logist.
 Phe Survey began it's investigation of Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4 in 1923, and this work is being continued this year. An expedition led by P. 5. Smith, accompanied by J. B. Mertie, geologist, R. K. Lynt and Gerald Fitz- Gerald, topographic engineers, reach ed the headwaters of the Colville in March and will continue to the Arctic Ocean, to be reached late in August.
 In July William T. Foran, geologist and o. Lee Wix, engineer, went into the Artic from Nome to supplement the surveys of the Smith expedition. This exploration of Arctic Alaska will not only give important information about petroleum, but will explore a hitherto unknown region.
 Alfred H. Brooks, Chief Alaskan Geologist, will join the Buddington party at Wrangell on August first, and later will visit the Moffit party on Prince William Sound and the Capps party in Matanuska coal field.
