The WeII-Dressed Man
Wool Socks With Clocks
By BeaunQsh EVERY OCCASION

In these times when My Ladye Fayre wears half-portion skirts, why should not mere man be allowed to wear half-portion shoes? He does Indeed, it is reckoned that two-thirds of the youngsters today have on low Oxford shoes even in winter; whereas the wearing of boots (high shoes) is now largely confined to men in their forties and up. Doubtless, this curi- ous change in types of shoes was brought about by golf and our devotion to sports of all sorts, which made many of us find high shoes too awkward and binding for allday, everyday use.
 Whether or not low shoes and wool half hose are here for keeps is debat- able. They are always going to go, but like the boresome visitor glued to the chair, they don't stir. Two years ago, some over wise fashion authorities de- clared that wool socks were extinct. However, as Mark Twain once observed when false rumors were circulated about his departure from this life, II wish to say that the reports of my death are greatly exaggerated" Wool socks may not be on their first legs, but neither are they on their last legs. for no signs are apparent that we are tiring of this style. In hints of brawn- and -biceps, which peculiarly endears a ia shion to the young, the near-young and to many who will never be young again.
 The early plain styles in wool half hose have been remarkably improved by the addition of ribs, clocks, embroidered effects and the like. These, doubtless, have helped to keep the fashion alive. Furthermore, the introduction of so- called brilliant Fair Isle patterns ana colors in socks, reproducing those of the sweater knitted by the cottagers of celebrated Fair Isle in the Scottish Shetlands, has lent added vitality and variety to the vogue of wool hose.
 The sock illustrated here. with its wide, elastic ribs and hand embroidered clock, is but one of hundreds of pat terms in half-hose to name which would exhaust your patience long before it exhausted the list. There are plain

REPAIRS ON ROAD
 VOTED BY BOARD
Improvements Are To Be Made To Rock Ridge
 Span

The board of revenue voted Tuesday to widen the intersection of the Merkel and Rocky ridge roads and to erect guard rails and other safety devices. This action was taken after a delega- ton of citizens living in the vicinity asked the board to straighten the road.
 At the present time, it is said that the road is very dangerous, and that there have been number of accidents there recently. It was brought to the boards attention that when the $5, 5000, GOO road bond issue was approved, it was understood that the Pump house road was to be permanently improved.
 J. D. Vines was given the contract to maintain the ferry at Taylor's ferry for another year. This contract ex- pires early in January. The request of MT. Fox of the T. c. I. land depart ment, ferry be maintained at Herd shoals, was taken under advisement.
 The board also ordered that the re- pairs at the juvenile court, suggested in the last grand jury report, be made. It was voted to hold the next meeting next Tuesday.
