Smallest Shoe Output In Years

Americans appear to be patronizing the shoemaker
repair shops. Total output Of shoes in the United
States in 1880 was about 3oSl0oo.ooo pairs. or the
smallest production In something like 10 years. This
compares with a total Of 56l. 100000 pairs IN 1912. the
peak year OF the industry. Thus the 1880 decline was
$4,000. 900 or more than Is per cent. There is a reason
for IL. Americans are wearing out their shoe leather
before they rerlenish their footwear wardrobes. It
was different In the good old days"

An earlier unofficial suggestion bv

was received favorably by Japan.
The latest Chinese decision. how

the hands of the League of Nations
council.
High feeling between Japan and
emma was Illustrated by China's re-

sent from Japan for relief of
Chinese flood sufferers. Although
supplies are needed urgently, the
Japanese contribution was termed

LESLIE'S DEMAND FOR
TRUCK PURCHASE HALT

To cancel all truck contracts
would effect saving of SIS, 295.41.
Governor Leslie pointed out. that
this money could be spent in giving
men "pick and shovel jobs" and aid
greatly in solving the unemployment
problem this winter. The commits
sion expects to employ several thou
sand men in such work on new
roads taken into the state system
for maintenance with this idea in
mind.
The work is being financed with
a balance in the maintenance fund
and the truck purchaser also we're
to be paid for from this source.
1T seems to me that the winter
time isn't the best season to buy
