Shoes on the closet floor are always
in the way, and even when put on
racks carefully installed on the inside
of the closet door they are not entirely
satisfactory from the standpoint of
neatness, for they have a way of fall
ing down when the door swings. Now,
however, some one who perhaps has
had trouble with both of these devices
has designed a compact and attractive
shoe cupboard.
Made wide enough to hold three pairs
of shoes in a row, it may be finished at
any height; the number of shoes to
be kept determining the size.
One might have 1t the same height
as that shown in the illustration, with
the bottom half equipped with trays
behind single panel door to be used
for hosiery.
This cupboard may be very easily
slipped into the closet and should be
painted or enameled to match the
scheme of the closet (for, OF course,
every closet has a scheme all its very
own in these days Of detaiD. One may
finish the outside in one of the colors
of the scheme and the interior in a
contrasting shade; or the back may be
lined with silver, gold or Powered paper,
finished with a coat of Shellac.

Children should be taught To

" they form the ideal diet for the

One-sided foods, such as sweets,
have their place In the diet. but
they must be kept IN their proper

Most children crave sweets. This
Is a natural craving. and should be
considered In the diet OF a child.
However the sweets must be taken
In moderation. - eaten In excess,
candy and any other concentrated
sweet is exceedingly harmful.
There are several food substances

Texas Utilities In The Picture

Pres. Hoover called for the men Of billions to get
busy and keep the home fires burning IN 1880. Tex
as utility chiefs have been let it known that capital
expenditures Of the companies Of Texas for improve
ments. extensions and general betterments during
1880 will exceed s70.O00,0OO and may reach 75O0O,-
OOo.
William G. Edwards OF the Public Service Infor-
nation bureau is responsible for the information.
Indeed. he is positive that 20 companies IN Texas
showed budget improvement items for next year ag-
e~regating $50 600 and an estimate Of $l1OO0OO0
for the several major companies not reporting may
be ultra conservative" as the omission includes some
Of the largest operators in Texas.
It is said that the 300 or 400 independent telephone
companies not included in the above estimates will
spend 81, 500 900 in permanent improvements in 1880.
Rail chieftains have millions to spend In Texas.
They stand ready 70 build extensions. to construct
new short lines as feeders to the main trunk. A huge
sum Of money will be spent for highway construction.
There is no valid reason why 1880 should not be q
year Of prosperity with workers employed and bust
ness brisk in all departments Of endeavor.
Wall Street isn't the United States.
Spectators are not the American people.
Pres. Hoover has the correct idea.
Mans mission on this earth Is to keep his brain
and his hands busy. and all who are willing to work
should be provided with employment.
Mussolini may be a dictator. but his plan has
worked wonders in Italy. He abolished beggars, he
abolished loafers, he eliminated parasites as far as
possible.
It goes without saying that all those who are
willing to work will not be disappointed the coming
year if the men Of billions in America carry out their
pledges made to the president Of the United States

John d. Rockefeller. arriving In Florida for his

yer reconcile this with his statements that there IL
no reason to worry7
The one mistake made by Mr.. Hoover in his con-
ferences on restoring confidence was his failure to
invite Mr.. Rockefeller TO IL. John ID. probably would
not have relished the idea of hanging around glofless

For the oil king is to make a fifty per cent cut In

no psychological aid to Mr.. Hoover. It looks bad.

that my son and I are In the market now buying at
these bargain levels" but when he begins passing out
nickels instead Of the proverbial dimes he throws
mama to the skeptics.

John DIS dime distribution has become the best
advertised activity In American history. When you
see Rockefeller you think Of bright. new shiny dimes
and when you see a nice new shiny dime you think Of
Rockefeller.

mond Beach's most famous golfer is like opening up

1t Is up to President Hoover to get in touch with
John d. at once-even If he is on the fifth green
about to sink a four-foot putt-and urge him to get
back on a ten-cent basis.
When you have to see John d. twice to get as
much money as you got last year in one trip 1t looks
suspicious. A drop in the Rockefeller dime market
frightens people almost as much as a drop in the
