INDUSTRIES PLACED ON GAS LINES ON MODIFIED ORDER

Richmond Industries were taken on the gas lines Thursday afternoon following a message received Thursday morning by Nlmrod Johnson, general manager of the Richmond Light, Heat and Power company,- from T. B. Gregory, head of the gas and oil division of the United States Fuel Administration, which modifies the order Issued by him on December 12. The order of that date provided that all gas consumers of the fourth class, which consists of Industries, should be taken off the lines In order to provide the domestic consumer with an adequate supply of gas. The new order which will be out In a few days provides that industries may be put on the gas lines If the company is maintaining a main line pressure of 25 pounds. If at any time the, company should fall below this all fourth class consumers are to be taken off and cannot be put on again until a main line pressure of 25 pounds has been maintained for 48 hours.

Increase in Shoe Prices Predicted by Retailers Victor B. Vaile, of Kokomo, president of the Indiana Retail Shoe association, in a statement, says: "Since the signing of the armistice the public has been anticipating lower prices on shoes, but I regret to statae that both the retailers and consumers will be disappointed, for the trend of prices is steadily upward, owing to the fact that we are exporting leather to European countries, where heretofore we have been large importers. In fact, we have always imported from 50 to 60 percent of the leather used In the manufacture of shoes from European countries. These countries for the past four years have bad no leaner to give us and at the present time European tanners and manufacturers are bidding in our markets against American tanners and manufacturers for our materials, and leather prices are more than 30 per cent higher in European countries than they are in America today." "The introduction of the long skirt," said Mr. Vaile, "coupled with the nice weather, has created an excessive demand for low shoes unusually early in the season. This demand of course will Increase as the season advances, and if My Lady desires -a good looking pair of low shoes for the coming

season it would be advisable for her

to secure them now. for the factories

of the country are sold up to their capacity for these shoes until after June 1, and it is questionable whether they will be able to deliver them at

that time." The Indiana Shoe Retail association will hold its annual convention at the Claypool hotel, Indianapolis, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, March 10, 111 and 12. Richmond shoe men are expecting to attend.

"After that auto accident he was In the doctors tried twice to set his leg. But they couldn't do it Something wrong, and they thought until

Tuesday they'd have to take the leg off. Tuesday they took an X-ray pioture of It, and they think now If they can scrape the bone they can get the

leg to knit. So this benefit is to give

Alonso another chance for his leg. "Now, this entertainment is going to be high-class vaudeville. That Kalama, the Hawaiian, who plays the steel guitar, Is great. He's our headliner, but every act is going to be put on by old professionals . who have taken their acts out of mothballs for Alonzo's benefit.
