THAT'S IT; MORE WALKING TO AID SHOE BUSINESS

Greater consumption is needed in the shoe industry; that's it. greater consumption. That IS to s4y, GUS toners Of the shoe trade--inciudine all Of us-should wear out our shoes quicker. Hiding around in autono- piles won't do it. What is needed ia 10 encourage the people 10 do moro walking. This information comes from the shoe industry itself. E1e- cutives at Q meeting in Philadelphia discussed thcr problems man to man. 1 There was no other agreement pos siDle than that what the nation and the shoe industry needs above everything else is more hiking. Consider the automobile industry and be wise, in effect said one speaker. What happened when the Gs.omobiIc industry began" Simply this, that the autom obile manufac- turers concluded that if the nation vas ever 10 use cars i'll widespread profusion there must be good roads everywhere So the industry started it's propaga nda for good highways, meeting with no resistance any where, even from the newspapers which printed the propa ganda. Everybody was made 10 feel favor ably disposed toward good roads. Farmers. ultimately great consum- CTS of automobiles, were the hardest to convert because the costs al first hit them hardest Finally plans were evolved 10 suit all citizens, and many thousands Of miles Of good loads now are where mere dirt roads used to be-
 While all this was going on the shoe industry stood still. Automo- bile riders wear out fewer shoes that ia certain The per e pita con- sumption of shoes has decreased. l! the shoe executives could bring con sumption per head back where 1t was in pre-auto days there would be 8 vast prosperity in the shoe ccnteIs instead Of anything but prosperity.
 And what is the main idea ad- yanced' Simply this: That q move ment be started to have all states and counties provide paths along side the highways for people on ioo,. There should also be paths into -he wooded sections. the mountains, everywhere; so that hiking would become more popular. What the shoe industry necds--as well as the health O. iudiyiduals--is more and better hiking.
 The plan has its advantages both from the standpoint of shoe con- sumption and Of health. It also has advantdg 5 from the standpoint oi safety, Many people nowadays are l too scared at the dangers ot professionalism 10 indulge in it much. . Of the &5.0oo people killed and , 10000" injured by automobiles last . year, Ga per cent were pedestrians, This is d disturbing factor 10 the l. shoe industry The plan is 10 make . walking safer in order to induce 1, more walking,
