were resplendent Opera hats,

rubies, emeralds. A few o. the
masculine old guard even wore
Opera capes.
The Presidents wife and

among the arch-conservatives of

Neither wore furs-but SIM

which covered simple. distin-

johnson said he would push

That isn't the same thing as
mastering out pay, he noted, but
if the bill goes through, "the
take home money of the enlist

will be much more"
Under Johnson's bill an en-
listed man could be discharged
and then get payment in cash in
lieu Of accrued leave.
The Baruch report gave this

was in mastering out pay.
After studying legislative ben

Baruch summarized these find

in payments to veterans on dis

Low PRICED SHOES
ORDERED RELEASED

New dates for the release Of low
priced shoes by local merchants
were issued yesterday by the War
Price and Rationing Board, fixing
the period from August II to Sep
TENDER 20, instead Of the previously
designated time.
During this time, merchants are
authorized to sell shoes manufac-
tured before March l, 1914 and sell
ing for not more than $3.50 a pair
without ration stamps.
The date originally set by OPA
August q through October 10 were
changed last Monday by the nation
al office, but in the confusion at
tending the end Of the war, it failed
to issue a release giving h in
formation to the trade, though
some local merchants obtained
the information through other chan
nels.
The order establishing a n W
date for these sales also provided
that merchants desiring to take
part in the release of these shoes
will not be required to make appli.
cation in advance of the sale for a
permit to participate, as was re-
quired under the old order.

Weakness in rail soon affected
the list as whole and early
steadiness-especially in stocks ex'
pected to benefit by peacetime op:

Utilities, steels, some metals and
