Boot Doomed In London Modistes Claim LONDON ;The Russian boot for yonng women, which came in here with, a rush along with the fall rain and mud, is doomed, mo distes claim, because there is .not a chance of the idea ever .being taken up by royalty and the "best people" generally. The makers of fashion declare, incidentally, that the best people seldom set the styles but follow them after the- second best have trodden the pathway of the pio neers. , But, it is pointed out, It Is qnite different with the Moscow boot, because to keep a fad going roy alty must give its sanction, and royalty will never do that because no member of, the king's household ever walks In damp, muddy streets which have made the Russian footwear popular for the time being, at least.

STilMFJliraflW w . mm mm a smatj w p w m m i 111 Company Has Over 600 Representatives; bervicev Keynote of Success A page in motoring history , has been written by sales chiefs of the Durant Motor company. of California, who have announced recently that the tar dealer pr- ganizatlon in ' the six western states alone now comprises a chain of approximately 600 "deal ers and sub-dealers. "Hardly a town of any size at all anywhere in the country today but what has a Star car dealer," says Fred G. Delano, local Star car dealer. ! "This organization,' Mr. , Delano says, is in a .position to render service to- Star -ear owners ahyi time Is called on. .One of .the. greatest reasons for j . any motor carfs; success is the dealer organic cation behind it, and vast army of Star car representatives, one of the greatest single, units in tne western states, ls.buuaing t big success for Star ears. "Most of them have i been at tracted to the Star , car franchise through ..performance! of the car itself the little Star four car that built up the world's championship in hill climbing during 192Sv With the Star six they are in an admir able position to strengthen Star's position as one of 1 the leading quality manufacturers in the low cost class. f "One of the first things an own er wants today Is the assurance that he wlir obtain service on his automobile practically anywhere in the country. The dealer who can point to an organization as big as that representing the Star cars today is in a strong position to talk , to .his prospective buyer." WALTER P. CHRYSLER'S CITRAW25EP DELIVERY AS A t v ,RKIiIKF. , ., '., Centralized delivery' of ' retail merchandise is one step that can be ' taken '-' to - help relieve traffic congestion. A woman will go to four departs meat 'stores ;in most cities . make four purchases, give in structions to have all packages delivered and " four ' trucks will stop at her home. One would-be enough. : The time -is coming when the loading and unloading of ' trucks will not be permitted on the streets in congested areas except during certain- hours. Department stores and large business "houses shoald and will some day have underground' loading platforms. 1 K ' :y' y': " ' J The practice 'i of5 having traffic officers blow their whistles twice the first aa 'a warning and the sec ond as a signals for "vehicles to start,' is for the-(Jonteniehce of the pedestrian. ' ''But how ' often we see pedestrians ' daiting'' out -into the street wheri the -warning whis tle is given. When 'the' first whis tle is blown the pedestrian should wait ' oh the' sidewalk The, . motorist must recognize fully -that ; the pedestrian has rights in the street and the pedes trian must recognize that motor ists have rights too and that when compelled by signal to go their progress must not be impeded. We have made a lot of progress in handling traffic problems but we have a long way to go yet. The police are jdoing splendid work but traffic control and regulation is a civic rather than simply a po lice problem. It Is a problem af fecting the' entire community.
