III! 111! 11l There are people who question the value of a S2O i-J gold piece. They’d take it to a jeweler and have it -fi tested. Ive been telling you that this store gixes ex- rial pert sen ice in fitting footwear and there are people who don t believe it. They come in here and stick Bk their feet at us and say, “Fit that if vou can.” I had one young lady say: “Isn’t it wonderful? I was nev- 03 *’* <e that before." An elderly lady said: That s the first shoe comfort I have had in years.” SH There is no secret about how we do it. It’s just oldfashioned horse sense mixed with modern methods.

DEMAND STIRRING FOR NATIONALIZATION. I (United Press Service) ' > London, May 7—(By Mail)— Nation- | alization! This is the great cry of ■ British labor, whose consistent and 1 ! continual demand of shorter hours \ and increased wages is taxing the ; strength of the British government to ■ its utmost. |J Labor leaders declare il Is the only \ solution of British labor unrest. !' And not only do they demand na-b tlonallzation of all natural monopo-j! lies, but they demand an equal share \ of its management. j < To support their demand for partic- j • ipatlon in the management, they \ point to the position of postofflce J workers, who, they declare, are “mid-j 1 die class and care more for the looks •! of their finger nails and the whiteness 1 \ of their cuffs" than they do about! J hours and wages. j ■ The above is from a statement made to the United Press by Robert j \ Williams, head of the British Trans- 1 • ■ ; port Workers Federation, having a . membership of three hundred thou-; I sand. 1 1 “Postoffice employes lark morale ! ■ They haven’t interest in their work , because they think tney are satisfied,” | said Williams. ; — ■ —O- ■ GIRLS FAT ENOUGH SAID JURY « Cardiff, May 7—(By Mail)—A situa- ■ I tion worthy of Gilbert & Sullivan’s \ j “Trial by Jury” developed here when | a girls’ class from the Howells Girls’ • School, Llandaff. filed past the jury , box in order that judge and jury j might judge as to their physical con- J dition. The case was one in which • the father of a pupil sued the goverr- ! nors of the school for damages, al- J leging that his daughter was not j properly fed. The inspection of a • class satisfied the court that the ma- ! jority of the girls seemed to be doing j fairly well on the food supplied, and • the jury decided against the indignant:, father. ! ■ ABOUT THE SICK I Ferdinand Bleeke called on his wife | at the Lutheran hospital. Ft. Wayne • last evening. She is getting along . very nicely since her operation for ad- \ hesions of the gall bladder. ‘ Mrs. G. Kurt went to Monmouth to . be with her mother, Mrs. Nancy Lord , who is confined to her bed on account J of illness. Mrs. Lord is eighty-one • years of age. | • FRIEND | HUSBAND • A five-reel Coldwyn pmduc- . tion, featuring the fascinating ; little screen actress, Madge Ken- ; nedv. A picture with a punch. . The story of a young girl who I believes firmly in ideas regard- ; ing her sex, but when the will « of her grandmother is read, ! changes her views. To obtain ; her fortunes she must obtain a ■ husband. She buys a wealthy . young man to marry her, but ; alter the ceremony he refuses ; to go away, and she is forced + to go on a honeymoon, and the | - fun starts. See how this young jj bride changed her mind after g spending some time on a lonely 3 island. It's a Goldwyn and it s got to be good. |!J
