holdings Of certificates Of interest for
Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron
Co. shares. Less than two months

STYLES PLANNED
More Footwear to Be Sold
Next Year in Fewer Basic
Patterns.

Special Dispatch To The Star.

NEW YORK. November 4.-Ap.
proximately 100000 pairs of shoes
will be sold to the American public
during the next year. according to
shoe manufacturers. Although more
'ehoes will be sold in 1928 than in
1877, they will be built along the lines
or fewer basic patterns and designs
n both mems and womens footwear
curing this Winter and next Spring.
. This decision, just announced by
dohn 6. Mckeon Of Philadelphia, one
or the largest manufacturers Of the
country and chairman of the Ameri.
can shoe style conference, came as
9 result of determination that there
must be more sound conditions in the
retail and wholesale shoe business IL
the manufacturers are to hold the
ground they have recently gained.
Manufacturing Slowing Down.
{ The shoe manufacturing business at
the present time is slowing down
slightly. This is not an unfavorable
sign, being due purely to seasonal
conditions, but the manufacturers
have come to the belief that the NOR.
tality of concerns engaged in the
retail and wholesale distribution Of
shoes is too great for their safety.
The curtailment of new styles is the
medicine proposed for this deadly all.
ment. The shoe manufacturers, who
have suffered heavily in the past be.
cause of the tremendous diversity of
styles demanded of them by retailers,
are now expecting some relief.
Mr.. Mckeon expressed unooubted
optimism for the immediate future of
the shoe industry and indicated that
he thought the new policy would work
strongly to that end.
SOne OF the most difficult problems
the producers Of shoes have always
faced" he said, ''is the excessive de-
mand for unnecessary styles. The re.
tailers of leather have been bright
enough to insist upon it, even though
IT was. they believed. the principal rea-
son why the retail shoe concerns have
staggered under some heavy losses In
late years. Today shoe dealers and
distributors are seeing the light.
1t is surprising. but true, that the
retailer in the small town is tile worst
ohender with regard to styles demand
It is he, and not the average big city
dealer, who carries a big diversity of
patterns. When the small town dealer
places an order for 1000 pairs of shoes,
ne usually thinks he must have 10
different styles. These sell slowly and
nnaliy he has to take such loss on
them that his write.off frequently il

dered two or three different styles and
stocked them in all sizes, he would
have made more money and probably
increased his total volume of bust.

BLACKBIRDS
RULE

nURING the past year the Bio.
- logical Survey of the United
States Department Of Agriculture
has studied control measures
against blackbirds. particularly in
the rice-growing region of the Gulf
coast. 1t was found that no mate.
rial reduction in the numbers of
blackbirds in the area is possible
during the growing and harvesting
seasons.
Poisoning operations during the
early part Of the planting season
did not give uniformly consistent
results and were very expensive.
1t was found that IL poisoning is
done at all, it should be limited to
the narrow zone Of severe damage.
The use of poisoned bait at
sprouting time had a certain de-
torrent effect on the birds. Moth.
ing but: the Use Of firearms can
curtail losses during the ripening
and harvest periods.
