no limit on repairing or resoling
shoes.
Manufacture of women's eve-
ming slippers. spiked shoes,
mems patent leather shoes and
other LESS essential shoes is
forbidden.
The shoe problem resulted
from a limited supply of leather,
much of which must come over
Observation-Disclosures routes from
foreign countries. A lot of leath-
er is home grown. but the armed
services are taking about a
third of all sole-leather.
Harold w. Volk of Dallas,
Tex, president of the National
Shoe Retailers Association, des-
cribed the rationing order as
lone of the fairest that could
have been prepared 10 meet the
circumstances"
In statement which he said
was issued at the request of the
government, Volk said at New
York.
CLOSE study of shoe produc-
ton and sales figures by govern
ment agencies working with in
dustry representatives, made it
clear that unless action were
taken now, the gap between sup
ply and demand would spread
so wide that store shelves would
soon be depleted of footwear,
and equitable distribution of this
vital necessity would not be pos
sible.
Assurances can be given the
public and the retailing COM
munity that rationing order No.
II is liberal in view of current
conditions. 1t is also reassuring
to know that machinery has al
ready been set up to take speedy
action in discovering any in
equities that may develop and to
correct them for protection of
customer and retailer"
Prentiss NJ. Brown, OPA ad-
ministrator, said the rules will
be as liberal as the ration. The
coupons will be taken from the
sugar-coffee ration books al
ready in everybody's hands. No.
II stamp will be good for one
pair Of shoes until June Is. At
least for the present, there will
be no registration, no question
naires, no waiting in line.
If you buy pair of shoes and
don't like them, you can not only
return the shoes to the merchant
if it's his usual business prac-
tise to take them back--but also
get your coupon back. No other
ration coupons can be returned
in this manner.
Stores, for the present, will
just hold the coupons until Of
ficials set up a system of trans
ferring them to wholesalers or
manufacturers in exchange for
more shoes. Meanwhile, stores
may order in their usual man.

Mount Clemens shoe store
owners today welcomed an OPA
order which makes the rationing
of shoes effective tomorrow.
Although shoe sales were pro-
hibited todey, the stores re-
NAMED open to sell rubbers and
other merchandise not affected
by the freezing edict.
James S. Nunneley, of E. T.
Nunneley g. Company, termed
the ration adequate" even
though statistics show per capita
purchases of 81 pairs of shoes in
1912"
Nunneley y was fearful that
sales of play shoes will slump
because purchasers will use ra-
ton coupons to buy more dur
able merchandise.
Merry Miller. of Miller's Shoe
Store, agreed that more expen-
sive shoes will be in demand
He described the order as very
satisfactory" adding that ration
ing was no surprise because OF
increased buying and restricted
shipments.

163OO WAR JOBS
TO BE FILLED
Additional Workers Needed by
War Industries in Will
mington Area
EXPECT WOMAN AID

A total of $1,000 additional
workers will be needed by war in
dustries in the Wilmington-New
Castle area by next March, it was
revealed last night by Elmer H.
Smith, area director for the War
Manpower Commission. Studies of
hte local labor market indicate that
about $500 workers will be avail
abel here for these new jobs, leav-
ing a shortage of 5000 he said. The
shortage is the largest which has
been officially estimated since the
local war plants began to expand.
Full community cooperation will
be necessary to cope with the labor
which has arisen with the
steady increase in Wilmington s
to the war effort, Mr..
Smith decared.
Draft Estimaes Not Revealed
The estimates on future needs
include figures on anticipated Sc
lective Service Withdrawals based
on military information which can
not be revealed. The fifnures used
in arriving at the estimate of the
supply, however, were given in
full. The shortage of 5000 the
area director cautioned, may be ag-
gravated by the fact that a liberal
estimate has been made of the
available local supply, particularly
in the labor market who are ex-
pected to get jobs to help increase
the production of ships, aircraft,
and other war materials. Ship
firms account for 6,244, or
38 per cent, of the labor demand,
while aircraft construction and
ordnance firms need 1,700 more.
Demands in other activities are
scattered.
Women MUST Help
Against the total demand figure
of 16,300 was listed potential
of 1926 workers from war
ious sources. The largest group
from which it is believed workers
may be secured locally consists of
women not customarily in the labor
force. A total of 1928 of these
women = housewives and single
girls who normally do not seek en-
ployment-are expected to take
jobs. Approximately 1900 persons
in seasonal work-such as con-
struction-are expected to go into

The
What Not Shelf
BY Louise Hoffecker Burslem

BY Louise Hoffecker Burslem
This little story took place some
time ago, but we heard it only re-
cently-and it was so Saroyan-ish
that we couldn't resist telling it.
Several of the small-fry, includ-
ing Lex and Bobby FAIRIES, spent
considerable time and ingenuity
constructing from an old bed
spring an elaborate cage. Now
just what the kids had in mind to
put in this beautiful cage, we can't
say. At any rate, entrance into
the cage was relatively simple, but
the procedure of an exit was COM
plicated and uncertain, and requir-
ed the assistance of several friends.
Naturally, a new invention has
to be experimental with. SO the
boys lured Leland Shapley into the
barn in back of Wells FAIRIES, and
invited him to step into the cage.
Leland stepped in.
Now it came to pass that this
was too good to be true. The kids
were delighted. Leland was not.
Unhappily, he demanded to be set
free. Then he begged. Then
threatened. And screamed.
After two hours, Mama FAIRIES,
hearing shrieks from the barn, in
vestigated-and the boys had to let
Leland go.
Well, it was good cage-and it
worked.
