New York - Even though you
can now buy only three pairs Of
shoes a year, you needn't ever go
shabby-shod If you take good care
Of the shoes you have.
First, take q look in your shoe
closet. You've probably discarded
several pairs that with a little
cleaning up will give you months
Of service. Here are some experts
tips on how to preserve your shoes:
First, remember that leather Is
skin. It's porous and depends on
Its natural oils for fleXibility. Water
washes out the oil, excessive heat
dries 1t up. Hence, don't let your
shoes get soaked, and, If they do
get wet in the rain, don't try to dry
them quickly by putting them next
to the radiator or other artificial
heat.
Best treatment for wet shoes Is
to take them Off as soon as possible,
rub them lightly castor oil lit
doesn't interfere with polishing ,
and dry them slowly. They should
stand ~ to "a hours at room tenn
perature. To make them dry IN
shape, use shoe trees. # you have
no trees, stuff them with news
paper, which will absorb dampness
and speed drying.
Store shoes in a dry place
they're quite susceptible to mold,
and this makes leather fragile, as

Washington, Feb, 24-From the
way things are shaping up, 1t would
seem that there may be fewer mex
pensive shoes on the market now
that rationing has come.
Right after the three-pairs-a-year
order was issued, q new type Of shoe
advertising began. Higher-priced
booteries advised the public that 1t
would be wise to buy shoes that cost
more but would wear longer. This
worried WPB, which "fro2e" produce
ton to the types of shoes formerly
manufactured. The, ruling would
have been effective II applied to the
pre-rationing rate Of production.
But WPB cut the ALLEGATION OF
leather in half.
So 1t seems logical that the manu-
facturer who turned out 100000
pairs of shoes last year, half Of them
expensive and half inexpensive, will
concentrate on the higher-priced
line for his $4,000 pairs In 1943. This
Is likely, anyway, unless the WPB
orders him to spread his production,
proportionately, among the types OF
shoes he made last year.
ODDS AND ENDS
Speaking Of shoes, OPA doesn't
agree with officials who fear that
shoe standards will suffer because
Of Standardization cuts. OPA says
1t still has control over sheo prices,
and II shoe don't measure up, prices
will be slashed ). WPB will double
the amount Of wool available for
civilian clothing. That will restore
wool to peacetime levels. And since

MCKINNEY, !

This Is the second Of D series

South an undue advantage over the
rest Of the field The duplicate code
emphasizes the duty Of the. director
to protect the field form undue dis
advantage. If East were compelled
to bid four spades or make any
other sufflcient bid, North South
would double and slaughter the
contract.
The director gave very wise de-
cision. He allowed East to make
any call he wished, including o

done to North South by the inform
alton given to West by the spade

well as producing ugly spots. Re
move stubborn grease or dirt spots
with the same dry. cleaner you use
for dresses.
Rule No. 1 for keeping shoes
good looking Is to keep them clean
and that means frequent and reg
ular polishing. Get shoe-polishing
kit, maybe like the old-fashioned
shoe Box Grandma had, and keep
all your shoe cleaning materials
handy.
There are three kinds Of polish
for smooth shoes, to be used for
different purposes. Self-shining liq-
uid wax, which dries to sheen but
not shine, Is easiest and quickest
to apply. Cream polish, White or
neutral In color for all shoes except
white ones, Is considered the best
preservation by some experts. For a
high gloss, there's nothing like the
familiar paste, which contains more
wax than other types.
For suede shoes, use a Arm but
flexible brush, preferably NOT
wire. Brush circularly. Use suede
polish. Suede wears very well, but
shouldn't be expected to keep look
Ing fresh II worn frequently under
galoshes or rubber.
Reversed calf or other rough
textured white shoes should be
brushed, then treated with whiting.
Smooth white shoes should never
be brushed.
Colored shoes Of smooth feathers,
such as calf, antelope, etc. profit
by saddle-soaping. Use small
sponge or rag, dampened, but not
sopping wet. Work up a lather on
the sponge, scrub the shoe thor
oughly, then rinse sponge and re-
move saddle soap and dirt from
shoe. Il.
Patent leather shoes, experts
maintain, should not be polished,
for this tends to crack and dull
them. To clean use slightly dam
pened rag and mild soap.
Keep your shoes In good repair.
Heels, particularly, should be fixed
as soon as they become worn or
crooked. An uneven heel soon twists
the shoe out Of shape and one badly
worn thows the wearer off balance.
Don't let soles get worn through to
insoles, as this Is liable to weaken
the whole construction Of the shoe.
Heavy-duty shoes for outdoor
work, farming or factory wear take
plenty of greasing to make them
proof against mud and moisture.
Spread warmed grease on with a
soft cloth, then rub in thoroughly
with the palm ow the hand. Good
greases are neat's-foot OIL, caster
Oil, cod oil, tallow, wool grease or
mixtures Of these.
