Miss Perkins cited the South as a market for' shoes “Those of you who have lived all your lives in communities where the Wearing of shoes is a ccmmonplace,” Miss Perkins said, “have, perhaps, for- gotten how important and significant 8 social contribution are shoes. When you realize the whole South of this country is an untapped market for shoes, you realize we haven't vet reached the end of the social benefits and the social goods that may come from the further develcpment of the mass-production system on a besis of consuming power in the South which will make possible the universal use of shoes in the South. “I have said in the last few weeks, as we have been discussing the bills in Washington which have been proposed for the revival of industry and which, among other things, prcvide for the fixing of hours of work and for the fixing of minimum rates of pay, that it the minimum rates of pay and the hours of work could be fixed in the Southern mills and in the Southern employments generally those who wanted to get rich quick ought to buy shoe factory, for the cpportunity of | Takoma parl( Man | perience to Senator King in Charging | _— In a plea to the Senate District Com- | mittee today to lighten the tax burden n Washington, a property owner cites ’nm« instance in which the resl estate tax on a dwelling has been more than Secretary of ' doubled since the war, while the rent | the place yearly. ins ceclared yester- | received from it has been cut approxi- | mately in half Willard_Allen Colcord of 120 Albany avenue, Takoma Park, Md.

He explained that the dwelling was purchased in 1918, and for three years the family occupied it as a home.
