ABOARD DAVIS TRAIN EN-
ROUTE SPRINGFIELD. Ill. October
l4.-John w. Davis, Democratic pres
lhentlal candidate, left Indiana today
and campaigned his way through
southern Illinois. He carried with
him across the Wabash. however. a
hope of victory. which he admitted he
did not feel when he entered Indiana
ana which. he said. had sprung up to
absolute confidence during his travel
in that State.
In his appeal to lndianans in Terre
Haute. Mr.. Davis restated his
labor Crced-rights to all men and
special privileges to none-and left
his promise to hold the scales of
justice fair and equal hctwe every
man. woman and child"
From 1913 to 1921. Mr.. Davis said
the country had Democratic rule un-
Ger the leadership of Woodrow Will
son and received more legisla ton
beneficial to la Dor than had ever been
passed i'll any similar period of Amer
i'an history. 1t was then, he re-
called, that il was written on tle
statute books for the first time that
the labor of a human being is not IA
commodity or an article of commerce.
In celebrating his appeal for labor
support. the candidate pointed to the
enactment Of the law recognizing the
right to organize for the promotion
Of labor's welfare aud for collective
bargaining. You have the writ OF
injunction limited" he added, the
hour day recognized and what
more could any labor party have Civ
IN YOU than did the Democracy while
II was in pOWcr?"
I.nud> Federal Reserve Act
On the other hand, Mr.. Davis took
occasion in Indiana to make Il re-
statement of Democratic contributions
TO business. While it was not ii buSi-
ness mans party that was elected III
lHl2. he said business had devised
the Federal Reserve act. the greatest
piece of financial legislation this
country ever knew.
Had the Government been devoted

contribution than the rescrV" act, IA
said.

not" on the agricultural record OF TN
Wilson regime also was sounded in
the Terre Haute address.
Aid TO Farmers.
"There was no farm party elected
in 1912" Mr.. Davis said. but the
farmers of this country received for
tn" first time in the farm loan credit
act the same sort of credit as the
business man of the country had en-
joyed for years. They received the
warehouse act. and long list of leg

themselves. What more would a farm

Poiret has stood for all the years
of his meteoric career. 1t is this

quickly as there. The 5th avenue

in their cheapest limitations around
six dollars. and they are made to
order by bootmakers who are the
fashion of the hour In America for
sixty-two dollars. Why tho addition

with 10 professors and $500 students,
and a technical school with more than
5000 students. There are many other
schools and colleges, SO that the class
of intelleuctuals is numerous.
The war has increased the number in
the universities, as many of the soldiers
have again taken up their studies after
ten years absence, and some Of the
older men having been stirred up in
tellectually by the fighting are again
going to school. Count Paul Teleki. the
we'll known professor of economic geog-
raphy. tells me he has 500 men in
attendance upon his lectures and that
one Of these is an old general OF sixty
three, who takes his notes side by side
with beardless boys of nineteen and
twenty.
Most of these students are compare
lively poor. Many of them have lost
their all in the countries cut off from
Hungary, and the families Of others
have been ruined by the fall of eX-
change. A large proportion are work
ing their way through the universities
by clerking or other labor during the
day, going to their classes at night or
after office hours. Some have places In
the banks which close here at / O'Clock.
and others in the jewelry stores which
close at 4, notwithstanding the other
mercantile establishments run on until
when everything shuts. and steel
shutters come down over the store and
office windows, hiding everything from
the sight Of the passersby until late the
next morning.
Among the ways of reducing eS-
penses, the students have established
cooperative societies. They have cloth
ing factories where they work part of
the day to make clothes to sell to each
other at cost price or a little more. and
shoe factories where they make their
own shoes. They have established a
printing house with half dozen presses
where they print certain of their text
books and lectures, and they have an
equipment for binding them and dis
tributing them at a profit. They have
other enterprises along the same line,
and altogether they are making hard
struggle and a brave one to get an
education.

Golden Slippers as Worn by Christmas Pant0mme Fairies

u>aEhC are Two distinctly sensible
foot fashions among the welter
Of oriental ones that give hope for
better days. They came over the
horizon from France. One is the
actual American Oxford tie, with it's
English name; the other is the fiat
heeled sport shoe with an elongated
vamp and instep covering. The for
NOR Is made by expensive bootmak-
ers for fasfldious women who realize
that something Is needed for tailored
clothes that does not suggest the lit
ter and the harem. The latter goes
to sunshine resorts for all-day wear
with sport clothes.
The oxford Is a rich relation OF
the broad-heeled, sturdy shoe with
slight grace. intended for country
lanes and cold climates. 1t is made
of bright brown calf. with a moderate
instep piece and American vamp.
There is a blucher opening. which
shortens the length. There are black
wooden heels and thin strips OF per-
forated black patent leather outlin-
ing the edges, also a toe tip. The
silk laces are black. The heel Is a
straight Cuban. The reverse in COL
grafton is fashionable, but not pref
erable.
Next in fashion to this oxford,
which Is at least smart as well as
sensible. there is a strong revival of
the colonial patent pump which Paris
was wearing two years ago with
street clothes. 1t is along conven-
tional lines, its glory given by the
broad Puritan buckle of silver. The
novelty touch lie to make the buckle
a frame for ones initials, also in sill
yer. There are afternoon shoes Of
black velvet which have the initials
in silver on the instep held by two
velvet straps that cross each other.
one going to the heel piece. the other
to the toe piece.
When straps are put on shoes they
hold something in place on the instep
or the top Of the vamp They are not
merely to fasten the shoe.
The two novelties in nighttime foot
wear are the ornate slippers Of gilt
and silver and the black satin pump
with pointed vamp embroidered in
punches of eighteenth century flowers
in faint colors. The latter are $S5,
by the way, when made by foremost
bootmaker. And many of them are
ordered. Once they were for queens.
but, as the impetuous and outspoken
Elizabeth said to her gownmaker,
something new must be invented for
queens. as the plain people have so
much money they can dress like we
do" She also inveighed against the
luxuriousness Of the common people
having such extravagant things as
glass windows In their houses.
What Is the world coming to?" she
queried, in tho way Of all flesh.
Evening star., 1924-01-13

the shoemakers in the department
shops in New York ask fifty dollars
to make any kind Of street shoe, and
the celebrated leaders of shoemaking
on 5th avenue ask and get sixty-two
dollars for a pair of evening slip
pers.
Such prices do not equal those
abroad. Zantorny. the famous, gets
$4,000 down before he makes a. sin
gle pair of slippers. but after he gets
1t he supplies his customers with
the loveliest things one ever wants
to see in the matter Of foot cover
tngs. This price includes shoe trees
made to fit each pair of shoes, vel
vet and satin lined boxes for deco
rauve mules and frail evening slip
pers. and 1t means that no goes ON
supplying shoes until the years have
rolled by and he has worked out his
initial price.
The arrangement seems perfectly
satisfactory to his patrons, among
whom are numbered hundreds OF rich
Americans.
The italian. Perugia, whom Paul
Poiret found on the Riviera and
brought to Paris to make shoes for
his manneQuins. asks nearly a hun
dred dollars for any pair OF slippers.

The Rubber Question.

THE constantly INCREASING impor-
tance of india rubber in various
industries makes the question of the
cultivation of the rubber plant, as
we'll as that of the production of syn
thetic rubber one of general interest.
Careful Investigations appear to
show that the wild Para rubber Is
superior in quality to that produced
from cultivated trees. A wise manu-
facturer. it is pointed out. would not
dare to buy any quantity of culti-
waited rubber and store 1t for six
months, for fear of grave deteriora-
ton in quality, but he would buy
thousands Of tons of up-river fine
Para, with full knowledge that it
would grow better in storage. AS to
synthetic rubber. it is asked how We
can have that when we do not yet
fully understand the chemical COM
position of the components of natural
rubber.

Testing Auto Tires.

AN automobile tire company dis
- plays in it's salerooms in New
York one of the most perfect ma
chimes yet devised for demonstrating
the working of a tire under road con-
ditions. Mounted on a heavy stand,
big iron drum Is driven by an electric
motor. An axle and wheel are mount
ed over the drum, with the tire in
contact with 1T and bearing its
weight. The tire is under the same
pressure as IL on loaded touring car.
The test. a most severe one, consists
in driving nails, spikes, etc. into the
tire and tube and then running with
them in at a rate of about twenty-five
miles an hour. The machine is oper-
ated by electric power and is also
equipped with a speedometer. which
gives a correct speed of wheel, as it
in real road use.
