OvershOes Have
High, Low Heels

Overshoes don't change much
from year to year. They just be-
come a little neater looking, a lit
tie more streamlined and bit more
decorative. But this year the prin-
cipal news is that the makers of ga
loshes have finally realized that
many women wear low-heeled shoes
during the winter months.
So this season you will find even
the velvet carriage shoes trimmed
with black bunny fur, available in
three heel heights-low, Cuban and
high. These are extremely smart
worn with a velvet trimmed cloth
coat or one of fur.
The familiar all-rubber galoshes
are also made in the three heel
sizes this year, and the toes are
given a boxy look. You'll find a
black on black contrast in these,
with shiny rubber applied in a pat
tern over the arch, and in a panel
around the toes, and on the heels.
There are low overshoes that look
like grown-up rubbers. These are
styled to cover the entire shoe, but
stop below the ankle. In order to
make these look like shoes they are
given a smart suede finish and
trimmed with shiny rubber for a
suede and patent look.

The Foe Within

In orr battle for justice we must
realize that there are thousands Of
traitors within our own ranks-men
and women who, having mortgaged
their own craven souls to our en-
emies, are willing and anxious to
sell out our group for a mess Of pot
tage. In myraids of instances they
have already done so. Many Of these
beings are like moles which burrow
beneath the surface, and they have
by their pernicious activities placed
the entire structure of our rights in
peril. The vilest, cruelest, most bru-
tai, craftiest, most venomous, and
most cold-blooded outspoken enemy
is far less dangerous than the vile,
crafty, Sinking, snake-like burrow-
ing foe withinl
