LOCAL SHOE MEN WELCOME U.S. PROBE INTO PRICES; MANY FACTORS TO BLAME
An investigation by the Federal Trade Commission into the high price of shoes is welcomed by Richmond retall shoe merchants, who said Friday that they were not making as great a profit on shoes as they did six years ago, when prices were practically half of what they are now. One local shoe retailer blames the high cost of shoes on the shortage of leather. He says that the United States has Imported practically no Russian calf leather in the last three years, and our importation of hides from Argentina has been greatly curtailed, owing to the great demand on our merchant marine for the transportation of troops. This dealer further says that the army has wiped out any surplus of leather that existed. Not as many cattle are being raised now as three years ago and yet the demand for hides has not diminished. Foreign buyers, declared another dealer, are in a great measure to blame, as they have to buy shoes and price is no object. Europe will pay any price demanded for shoes, thus forcing American people to pay large prices. Still another retail shoe merchant thinks that he old law of demand is a large factor in the high prices of fehces as people now buy three pairs of shoes where six years ago they cnly bought one pair, thus using a large amount of leather while the supply of leather is diminishing. "Something Must Be Done." All of the dealers declare that they welcome the investigation by the government into the high price of shoes.

as something must be done to lower the prices. They think the manufacturer of shoes is not entirely to hlame, but do think the large tanners and packing houses contribute mostly to the cost, as they control the leather market and the manufacturer has to pay the price demanded or suspend business. Labor comes in for blame, as the retailers declare that labor is getting the largest wages they ever enjoyed, while their productions has been curtailed owing to the shorter hours they now work.

BEAOTY CURSE, SAYS GIRL ONCE CHOSEN AS MOST LOVELY
Beauty isn't so much to be desired after all. We have for it the word of Mrs. Fred G. Raeth, who as Kathryn Enk was in 1912 proclaimed the most beautiful working woman in Milwaukee. Her picture was printed in a beauty series by the Journal and later Miss Lillian Russell selected her as the loveliest girl in the city and her picture was published as such in Chicago, whether beauty is a help or a hindrance. Mrs. Raeth now is asking divorce from her husband. In 1912 she was employed in a fac tory. Shortly after she was married to Mr. Raeth and with whom she lived until recently. She is now staying with her sister, Mrs. A. Schuette. Not a Lasting Asset "Being beautiful is an asset just as long as all you want is to have many men admire you and say pretty things to you, want to marry you and you like the excitement of seeing them jealous of one another about you," Mrs. Raeth said. As 6he talks one notices her perfectly shaped mouth and decides that alone would give her claims to beauty. We watched the dimples come and as she talked and we admired the innocent, round, wide open blue eyes taht crave her the expression ot a child. "But If you want real, honest-to-good-ness friends then beauty Is a curse, she went on. "Why, I never could keep my girl friends. They were always jealous of my looks, and if one of them introduced someone to me and said something complimentary, I was certain to lose the girl's friendship straightway. "Not Really Homely" It's more than probable that if had been homely Mr. Raeth would not have been so Jealous, and then very likely we could have lived together happily. Of course, I wouldn't really like to be very, very nomely, ana it is a pleasure to look into the mirror and know your clothes look well upon you. Nevertheless if I could trade such good looks as I have for some that weren't quite so good, I think I would be happier. "But, of course, it may be that If I were homely, people wouldn't like that any better, for I always noticed that if I did not wear pretty clothes and try to look my best, Mr. Raeth wasn't pleased." Fleas Invade 5,000 Homes In Philadelphia Suburb PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 21. Fleas of small but unexampled voracity and in numbers uncounted are making life miserable in 5,000 Philadelphia homes, and nothing but the most persistent campaign in Indoor hunting in flypaper boots with plenty of coal oil on the side will eliminate them.
