Russian. 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.
Big production advantages ,en-
ables Chevrolet tp reduce prices
this year in the face of a 40 per
cent increase in material prices.

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.

' Since, these members of the

there has 'been - a stampede of
those who wish' tOJlve near enough
to bask in the: Royal smiles. There1
