to feel comfortable, so you know that
good, sturdy oxfords are your best bet.
They must be warm and have good.
heavy soles that are 1t the same time
flexible, with a built-up heel prefer
ably, and for smartness you will
choose bucko in dark or ginger brown,
Kent green or rich burgundy red,
according to the general color scheme
of your whole outfit.
The shoe sketched seems to have
all the requisites of q perfect shoe
for spectator sports, for good, brisk
trs nping, and for general wear about
town. This popular model comes in
tan and black calf as well as dyed
bucko and features three oblong eye
lets with wide braided laces. The
same clever large eyelet idea is car
ried out in matching handbag in
any desired color.
If you like something not quite so
severely plain, the same shop carries
an equally good-looking bucko or
reddish oxbrown calfskin shoe show
ing the belted silhouette. A wide
strap which buckles on the instep
crosses over slashed vamp and
turned-in tongue. This also has the
built-up leather heel and flexible, yet
sturdy sole. OF tan Norwegian calf,
there is an English brogue specially
designed for trimmness of line COM
bined with perfect foot freedom. It
has winged tip with nice details of
preforations and saw-tooths edges on
the overlapping pieces of leather.
In a little dressier model there Is
dark brown suede with wide
buckled strap ana toe and heel trim
of brown kid. With the heel in "lunch-
con height" this shoe is the choice Of
the girl who does not go in for the
strictly sport shoes.
One shop is showing a dark brown
oxford of very bumpy leather, with
upper fastening at the front that
makes it so easy to get in and out of.
They also have an attractive foot
ball purse in suede, shaped like
foot ball, only fiat, Of course, and
trimmed with stitching.

MOT all the interest centers at the
. feet and well-tailored, mannish-
looking coats claim our attention also.
The current trend Is to have these
coats as nearly like a mans coat as
possible. One of the smart mems
shops Is carrying quite a collection
Of Balmacaans that are made by mems

the Harris tweeds and English fleeces
and the prices range from s35 to s45.
There are plaids and checks and they
all have those special features Of
taped seams, buttons sewed on with
waxed thread and buttonholes made
by hand. The Innings are guaranteed
to last for the life of the coat in
each instance.
In addition to the single breasted
raglan shoulder style there Is the
double breasted fitted coat of English
fleece in natural camel's hair, oxford
gray and Havana brown. These coats
have set-tn sleeves, are full length
and very smart and mannish-looking.
A little variation on this theme Is
a suit of herringbone tweed with re-
versible coat, one side of which Is
lapin and the other tweed. The coat
has front panel of tweed and the
pockets and sleeve edges are finished
in tweed. Each side of the coat has
its own pockets and 1t Is just about
the most attractive and clever suit
that you can imagine. The gored
skirt suggests the possibility Of con-
trasting sweaters or shirt blouses.
A ND this brings us to another phase
of sports clothes-the two-piece
cashmere sweater suit. In the softest
of fine woods they are being shown in
one shop with plain round necks, but
toned down the front and worn with
a matching skirt. The colors are
lovely starting with natural and in
cluding French blue, rust, hunters
green, wine and oxford gray.
In the same lovely material you
may also have q three-piece sweater
suit with slipover, short-sleeved under
sweater, and q deep v four button
sweater coat with two pockets. One
of these suits will feel so cosy under
your sport coat at the game and you
will thank your lucky stars that you
shopped in a mans store for once and
are able to enjoy that real comfort
that men always demand in their
clothes.

present-day methods employed in the
canning and preserving process. most
of the food values are retained and
the finished product is as satisfactory
as if it were in its original state.
Long and tedious cooking and con-
cocting is miraculously eliminated for
the business woman cook, to whom
time saved means everything. Dinners
may be whipped up in from 10 to 20
minutes that will be entirely appetiz-
ing and wholesome. The meat course
used to be the hardest problem to
solve speedily-now there are wonder
full canned stews of beef, lamb or
veal; delicious, tender noodles, with
beef or veal; spaghetti with Italian
sauce and tiny meat balls: tripe cooked
in milk, and all ready to bread and fry.
Hams are boned and cooked in the
cans in wide range Of sizes, so that
one may be purchased to suit any
family or occasion. Beef round, steam

fashioned pot roast-another can may
supply a mixture of vegetables to
accompany this heartening dinner

Don't spoil an otherwise jolly

are certainly much to be preferred

A prediction that there will be little
opposition" in Congress to adding more
ships and men to the Navy came today
from Representative Darrow, Re-
publican, of Pennsylvania, ranking Re
publican on the =sIouse Naval Com
mittee.
Congress probably Will follow any
suggestion the President sends down
for improving the Navy" he said.
And he is a big Navy man."
'The greatest amount of opposition"
he added, may be expected from the
Middle West, where there is less con-
Germ over the Navy as the first line of
defense. Personally, think ship con-
struction is much more desirable than
many other types of work for which
Federal funds are being spent"
The Navy is seeking money to start
building in the next fiscal year "a
of the IS vessels needed before it can
attain the full strength permitted by
naval limitation treaties.
Darrow said he did not know what
effect Japan's denunciation of the
Washington treaty might have on SEN
timent in the House for a larger Navy.
Shipbuilding, the Pennsylvania as
serted, provides an important stimulus
to employment and would boost the

BURNS ARE FATAL
TO CHILD OF 10
Helen Bitner, Victim of Accident
Before Christmas, Succumbs
at Hospital.

Death late yesterday terminated the
misery of 10-year-old Helen Bitner, a
Board of Public Welfare charge, who
was burned while at play a week be-
fore Christmas.
In the home of her foster parents
at 233 Second street, Helen was max
ing little paper torches which she
ignited in the stove. Helen's foster
mother was out of the room for the
moment and the child was left to her
own resources.
One of the torches touched off
Helen's dress, and the flames envelop-
ed her body before they could be
extinguished.
The burns were SO grave that Helen's
mother, Mrs. Mary Brooks, was sum-
moned from her job in Pennsylvania
city. The child's father was dead,
but her mother remained at her bed
side in Gallinger Hospital apd did
what she could to provide a happy
Christmas.
Death was only a matter of days,
and the doctors did their best to make
the child comfortable. The Board of
Public Welfare had taken Helen under
its wing because her mother could not
afford to care for her. Funeral ar
rangements are not complete.

PERPETUAL CUTS
DIVIDEND RATE
Others Reported to Be Con.
sidering Reduction in
Certain Instances.

The Perpetual Building Association
has reduced its dividend on deposits
from 5 to Az per cent, it was learned
today.
This reduction, effective today, fol-
lows the general trend toward lower
interest rates on deposits in financial
institutions throughout the country.
The banks of Washington sometime
ago put into effect reduction Of
interest on savings accounts, cutting
the maximum from To 2l2 per cent
Announcement of the reduction by
the Perpetual was made today by
Edward C. Baltz, secretary of the
association.
At the same time it was learned
that members of the District Building
and Loan League have considered, in
some instances. a lowering of dividend
rates, because Washington building
and loan aSsociations-of which there
are 28-are bulging with money and
small demand for loans.
William s. Quinter, secretary of the
District Building and Loan League,
with a membership of 10 associations
is authority for the statement that the
subject of decreased dividend returns
has been up for discussion. He is also
president of the District Building and
Loan Association, which reports 1884
as one of its most prosperous years.
