say, however, that the swagger col

Shoes Are Going Higher
and Higher Up the Instep

With shoes going higher and high
er up the instep. the matter of trim
fit has become a real problem. The
whole beauty Of this extreme type
of shoe lies in the perfect nodded
look over the instep and around
the ankle.
To meet this situation designers
have resorted to various expedi-
ents. One exceedingly smart black
suede shoe, perfectly plain and
mounting well up on the ankle has
narrow elastic insets on the side,
after the manner of the old Con-
gress CATERS. When the shoe is
pulled on it fits like a glove and is
exceedingly f1attering to the foot.
The side-lacing oxford is another
experient which combines utility
with chic.

Washington. John Adams denounced him in con-
gress as a traitor who had sold himself to
France. Although Franklin's prestige In Europe
was undiminished. his fellow countrymen had be-
gun to suspect him. Finally In 1856 came "per
mission" from congress for him to return home
this permission in reality being a recall, since
Thomas Jefferson was sent as ambassador to
France TO replace him.
So Benjamin Franklin and Benny Bache came
back to their native land, Franklin to 10 to the
Constitutional convention there to labor nightly
as concliator among the warning elements
who we're trying to write a charter OF govern
ment for the new nation, and Benny to enter
the University Of Pennsylvania When Washing
ton was elected President, Franklin went back
to his library. Nothing was left TO him but his
library. All his other kingdoms the salons Of
France and those OF England, where he had
throned ii as a prophet: the far-of chancelleries
Of Europe, where he had reigned as master; the
American assemblies. where he had laid down the
law; and the associations and the lodges and
the federations and the conventions, where his
proposals had carried the crowd-all this was
ended He would never see them again. Others
reigned In his stead"
So the career Of one of the really great men
Of the earth ended in anti-climax. But he was
still the teacher and comrade and inspiration Of
the grandson whom he had desired to make his
masterpiece. He set up a type foundry and
printing house for Benny. although the former
had to be given up later. But in the latter the
two collaborated in the publication OF children's
books. They also printed Latin and Greek books,
but found no sale for them. Then on April II.
1890, Franklin died. Toward the last he had
taken Benny's hands In his and spent long hours
In happy dreaming"
Franklin was given fine funeral, the finest
ever held in Philadelphia. Both Europe and
America mourned his passing. Everybody wept
as the occasion required Only Benny wept as
one weeps when life does not seem worth living
any longer. He had lost his grandfather
and his youth. He had lost a great deal Per
hapa he had lost everything. Nothing remained
to him but to serve his country"
There was soon need for his beginning to do
that. Already there was dissatisfaction with the
way the Federalsts were running the country
but the opposition to them still unorganzed.
The Republican, later the Democratic party had
not yet been organized. The capital of the coun-
try was moved from New York to Philadelphia,
which was soon boiling with politics, as later
capital, Washington. did from the day 1t was

Out-of-the-ordinary fur trimmings
on cloth coats are giving US some
thing new to think about this sea-
son. The model pictured is espe-
cially likable since it accents two
outstanding trimming trends. The
one is the fur jacket top which is
carried out to a nicely in this in
stance. The other is the fur
epaulet effects which are so widely
exploited as means of arriving at
the wide shoulder silhouette which
fashion demands at present. The
model pictured is of gray wool with
fur of matching gray kidskin. With
it is worn a peaked hat of black
velour, gray kid opera pumps with
light gray banding, and black gloves

XXIOULDN'T you just love to be

one, or for that matter, all the dress
accessories here pictured? There
are thousands Of US that always

the Joy of having a collection of

Remember the Old DayS

OUCH bottles were jewery then but the
~ Americans, on the own home grounds, were walk
ing quickly and unconcernedly past the window dis
play and paying no more attention than they would
have paid to much ketchup.
Moreover, there was bar next door to the res
taurant where sat drinking iced coffee and with
Americans by the hundred thousand from whom to
draw patronage the bar had quorum. Nobody
sang Sweet Adeline," which the alma mater
song of the American tourists in the days when
they pigged it at Sloppy JoeS.
What on earth do you suppose has ever become
of all those private bars which the citizens we're
BUILDING into their new homes in the suburbs in
those days.
The private bar in the home greater prob
lem than people thought because it involved con-
tinuing obligation to keep a stock on hand. Not
only of the homey essentials, which whisky and
gin, but also of alcoholic fancywork such as creme
de menthe, soe gin, rum and few bottles of cham
payne for important guests who might decide to
place big order with your firm. 1t also tended to
establish the home sort of roadhouse and
brought friends dropping in, gay and expectant, at
inopportune times

It's Strange Story at That

THE carpenters working on suburban dwellings
i learned many sly tricks of concealment. They
could fix you up loose board in the staircase which
swung free if you pressed jgger and revealed
cache big enough to accommodate six cases of
Canadian pints, or you could have trick panel in
the wall, adapted from the old King Brady mys-
special nail into a special nailhole, releasing the
catch. Then you shelves of beautiful liquor
which filled the guests with awe set them to
Dragging of their supplies.
In some cases the treasure was walled up COM
pleely in the structure of the house. like documents
in corner stone against that final, terrible day
when prohibition, at last would become absolute
and there would be current supplies for sale.
This story has moral and gets nowhere. Tt
just seemed strange to be sitting there over iced
coffee peerng at the store across the street, the
realization of a beautiful dream and years of fight
ing and longing and at people hurrying by and no.
body even pausng to 1atten a nose against the
window and excaim: ooh, liquor"

Find n True Neutral!

UNDOUBTEDLY the argument will'be raised that
- the union men should have submitted their
grievances TO arbitration on this point it is well to
note the fact that in the matter Of the hiring halls
tho steamship owners first refused arbitration and
then. most bclatcdIy. consented
But I am willing to 60 further than that. I think
trades-unon men arc justified in their strong sus-
pcl0n that arbitration reality is much less fair
than 10 may sound in theory. The general formula
s that the union shall have its unit of representa-
ton, the employer an equal voting strength, and
that the parties shall mutually agree upon third
so-caued neutral or disnterested person who is 70
hold the casting vote.
That sounds as right rain and as fair as a
summers day. but the sctup is worthy of eXamina
ton. in the first place the true neutral IS one OF
the rarcst animals which walks the earth ANY
LAWYER. or anybody who has ever served upon a
Jury. can testify that once deliberations begin 1t

chosen for the task ride along Immediately upon
their prccOnCcivcd notions.
Every one of as Is filled with prejudiCeS and emo
touaI commitments which he not shake of at
% moments notice no matter how hard nc may try.
The so-callcd neutral on a labor arbitration board
generally Is distinguished citizen, chosen because
me is a liberal in politics and far-mlnded man IN
practice I'm cases of m0nStrOus abuses he may come
through and decide for labor. But If the employer
has so much as a single leg to stand on in his con-
tcntion YOUR neutral arbitrator Is ever so likely to
supply the missing limb for the side OF capital

Not n Theory, a Fact

7 AM not arguing a theory. I am pointing out

tionarics are not rascals Williams. Like the
piano player in the venerable anecdote they are
doing the best they can. And so I would not shoot
Them Just wouldn't have them around.
Few mon. if any. can understand the point OF
view of groups with whose problems they have had
no personal experience. Suppose, for instance,
some highly respectable lawyer is chosen to have
the vital say in dispute between ship owners and
lougshOremcn. The gcntlemen.in question never mas
been engaged in either pursuit. but the language ana
the psychology of the employing group Is so much
closer TO his own than that offered by the workers
that ne is likely to decide against them
Ii may be that A. Lawrence Lowell the former
president of Harvard university. had an entirely
clear conscience after he had decided against the
good shoemaker and the poor fish peddler. But ne
Just didn't know what they We're all about. Possibly
his failure was not one of heart but actually was
a defect I'M mental alcrtneSS The president OF
