Expert
. On Buying
Shoes
BY WILMA LA VILE

We asked q prominent shoe
store owner the other day what
women should know before they
start to buy shoes. We didn't
expect such an enthusiastic
answer but he was ready with
the suggestions that he thought
most important.
First Of ALL" he said, '"They
should come in with a definite
idea of at least what they want
to wear the shoe with" He
says that most women simply
say II want a pair Of shoes"
The salesman then has to guess
whether she wants them for
street, afternoon or evening.
he has to guess the color and
the price she wants to pay. In
this way, both the salesman
and the woman may get rather
disgusted before he shows her
anything like what she intends
to buy. ...
Practically all Of us know
exactly what clothes We are
going to wear the shoes with
before we start to buy them.
How simple it would be to say
to the salesman, "I want o pair
of black kid afternoon shoes.
with high heels" We all know
that certain types Of shoes are
correct only with corresponding
types of costumes and so we
might as we'll make up our
minds in the beginning accord.
ing to our clothes.
Another foolish request Is
shoes to wear with everything.
That is impossible. Of course,
unless your wardrobe consists
of exactly the same type Of
costume for every time Of day.
This shoe man who has made
q study Of the problem for
years asserts that it is just as
well to let the salesman take
care of the size and fit Of the
shoe within reasonable bounds.
It is practically impossible for
the usual person. without spe-
cific education on the subject
of shoes, to decide what type or
what last they should wear. AS
to- the fitting of the shoes, all
good shoe statesmen are care
fully trained to fit you right
and II you go in a good store
you can rely ON their judg'
ment.

in his examination for the position as

1.-THE notice Of Pats failure to pass
was accompanied by a letter, calling
his particular attention to certain ques-
lions and answers, among them ques-
ton No. Z. Pat puzzled over the whole
matter quite a while, and then went to
his priest with the complaint that he
had been Disseminated against because
of his religion. At the request of the
priest he produced hi paper. Question

called Traffic Council, instead of aiding,

aside from any consideration Of the
motoriSt, who must pay the tax, the
first consideration should be whether or
not there is a need for it. The answer
to this is that the District will finish
its fiscal year with a surplus OF
$1,000 900.
IF there be no need for the addi-
tional tax. there is no justification for
the increase" the A. M. AS statement
declares, pointing out the fact that on
sylvania voluntarily reduced its gasoline
tax from to 8 cents because of the
fact that Accent tax was not needed.

sively that it Is the motorists friend,

ers will save us from our friends while
we try to take care of our enemies"

ARNOLD DECLARED
RACING CHAMPION
A. A. A. HonorS for 1891
Awarded 25-Year-0Id Driver.
Gets Medal Next May.

Billy Arnold, 25-year-old racing driv-
er. who was virtually catapulted from
comparative obscurity to fame in a sin
gle season. has been formally declared
the A. A. A. champion for 1881, it was
announced today by the contest board
Of the American Automobile Associa-
ton
William Shorty" Canton. Bill Cum
mings, Russell Snowberger and Deacon
Litz followed Arnold on the champion
ship roll in the order named.
The diamond-studded gold medal,
which is annually awarded to the
King of the Speedway" will be pre-
sented to Arnold. IN the presence Of
racing's royalty, at Indianapolis next
May. Gold medals for second and
third place will go to Canton and
Cummings, respectively.
In announcing the champions for
1881, the contest board said that 1880
on track and speedway was marked
by far-reaching reforms, rather than
spectacular performances.
These reforms" said the governing
body of racing, extended to every
return of the two-seated cars with
engine sizes approximating those in
cars manufactured and sold.
The drivers, who had been unable
to purchase the highly specialized ma
chimes formerly used, were again given
an opportunity to participate and with
greater assurance of safety.
1.-THE industry showed renewed inter-
est in racing as an automotive labora-
tory and 1t was evidenced by the fact
that IL of the 46 entries at Indianapo-
lis were classed as stock cars and
made a highly creditable showing.
1.-The public, in turn, gave racing
greater support than at any time since
the World War and proved that the
racing fans are still interested in the
performance of automobiles under
stress and strain.
Although superchargers were barred
and other restrictions placed on en-
gines in cars on the championship CIR.
cult, speed, the life-blood Of racing,
was not sacrificed. This was indicated
when Arnold traversed the 500 miles
at Indianapolis at an average speed
just slightly slower than the record
established by Peter De Paolo In his
supercharged Duesenberg In 1925"

lied in periods of business lulls. Bust
ness depresSions are always character
tied by lower prices, better values and
efficient labor. Cities, therefore, who
push public construction projects are
not only taking the proper step to re-
lieve unemployment and restore busi-
ness to normally, but they also assure
their citizens bargains In public i'm
provements.
A remarkable instance of what city
can do in the way Of providing employ
ment and at the same time acquire
needed public improvements is shown
in a recent step taken by Chicago.
Money was transferred by the city from
the Chicago Avenue Tunnel construc-
ton fund to the fund of the water-pipe
extension department. Immediately 200
men began working on water mains on
two avenues-shortly their work will
enable an additional 800 men in the
employ of paving and allied contractors
to start widening the pavementS on
these two thoroughfares. It is expected
that miles will be widened before
weather conditions prevent further
work
Recent reviews of street building ac-
tivities throughout the Nation show
that fewer streets are being improved
this year than last. On the other hand,
rural highway building is having its
best year. AS dire need exists for

Adoption OF the program would not

lege recently announced that the cost
of an automobiles operation over a
high-type road was 5.44 cents per mile
over an intermediate type was 64s
cents, and over a low type of road was
$50 cents per mile.
The saving per mile in the cost OF
operation over good roads should con-

soon as possible. This, coupled with
the necessity Of affording relief to the
