Shoes are to cost no morn thin

"word of A. F. SWmne, field secretary
for the National Shoo HetulleiH Ah
Boclatlon. Mr. Sloune savH runny re
tail shoe men have overHtockod. Anil
contrary to general opinion, there in
no shortage of leather. Shoe price?

salera to the retail trade. Ami Home
new substitutes are proving belter
than leather. There Is a new nole be
Ing turned out, for example, which
seems bo far to be better than bath
er, and one concern Ik making some
thing like 2(0,00 pairs or Hickc
soles a day.
Now those are cheering thought-..
Interesting If true. In a war world
Whcro shoes for the three-year-old
cost $2.75 per pair if they hi of a
quality to last more than a month.
' It Is at least beautiful to In M.ve that
thoy won't cofit $3.15 the next lime
they must he bought.
Ilut why shouldn't some consola
tion be left In the midst or affile-,
tion? Now that the army model for
men Ih In fashion for men at home

rumors In the style noteH that wo
men's shoes are to be shiipb-r a id

spinal troubles. And IT lliesr bene

And If Mr. Rloane's nptlmlHin .'
justified foy futtiro f.-ictH. there will
be one thing, ns Americans sit mound
the turkey on the last Thrusday of
Novembor. for which they are de
voutly thankful.
The truth of what the home gar

the country will never be known. The
evidence. Ih already destroyed.
Many a family Ih lamenting Ihe
high cost of living ami at the same

In most pru ts of the Vnited fitateit
14 ounce ol bread are ttold for 10
cents. In (treat Britain VI ounces
are sold for 11 cents. In France UT
ounces are sdd for 'J cents. In
"starving Belgium" 35 ounces are
sold for 1 1 cents.
These figures were quoted the oth
er day in the house of representa
tives by a congressman who follow
ed up his facts with such natural
questions as these ;
"Why is bread f-o much more ex
pensive in the t'nited States than in1
Europe? Why is bread made from
American wheat sold lo foreigners so
much cheaper than our bread, do-j
spile the high cost of transportation? j
H the 'people of Europe can get two1
pounds of bread for 10 cents or less, j
why can't we, who raise the wheat,;
get somewhere near one pound of ;
bread for five cents?" j
It should be recognized, in fair-,
ncuB. that the bread sold to the peo
ple; of (Jreat Britain and France is
not tiie familiar white bread 'f j
America, made f rorn the best qual-1
Ity of all-wheat flour. It is a spe-'
cial, standardized "war bread j
made rroin a blend of grains. Itui
It Is said to be thoroughly palatable.
and not infer ior in nutriment to ourj.
own bread.
The difference In price, after due'
allowance Is made for the use of:
cheaper Ingredients and coarser
mining, demands explanat ion. It Is
plain that the Uritish and French are
really getting about twice as much
for Ihelr money as we arc
The argument of our big millers
and bakers that t lie price can't be
substantially lowered in .America
Isn't convincing. Perhaps when Hie

increases are alleged to he due to
the war, they are. The war is made
an excuse for adding much more

and who are now getting $'!.50,
