If you have shopped around at any of the various stores this season, you must know what a great increase in shoe prices has been made over those of the last season. This is due to the navy department. Congress has big rise in cost of all materials, and the average shoe dealer is absalntelv helnless to masxentid authorized the beginning of 66 ships | in 1917 as the first installment of the | Here you can buy the newest up-to-date shoes at hardly more than the ordinary store is paying today.

Vessels for which estimates of pri- vate bidders were examined today in- chude four battleships, scout cruisers, twenty destroy 1y coast submarines. Barly cember bids will be opened for four battle cruisers and at a later date figures will be received on one am- munition ship, Under the terms of the naval bill all the 1917 ships must be contract- ed for or work on their construction in government yards begun Dbefore February 1. Construction of a hos- pital ship, fuel ship and a gunboat has already been started at the navy vards at Philadelphia, Boston and Charles- ton, respectively. To Carry 16-Inch Guns, The four battleships will be the first of the American navy to carry 16-inch rifles in their main batteries. Bach will be equipped with eight of these big guns—the heaviest known to ha@ve been placed aboard warcraft, although it is currently reported that Great Britain is preparing to arm an experimental ship with 18-inch rifles. Until names have been selected the ships will be known as Nos, 45, 46, 47 and 48. They will be similar in ap- pearance and general design to the superdreadnoughts Tennessee and <alifornia, now under construction, but will be 600 tons heavier in dis- placement, totalling 32,600 tons. The additional tonnage is due to more tor- pedo protection and side armor. The ships are expected to have a crulsing radius of nearly 7,000 sea miles without refueling. They will have the steam-electric drive and make at least twenty-one knots, -In addition to the 16-inch rifles, the new ships will carry eighteen 5-inch torpedo defense guns, four of the new high range 3-inch anti-aircraft guns and the usual equipment of torpedo " tubes. Their main batteries will -be mounted two guns to-a- turret, de- parting from the three-gun turret construction on the Pennsylvamia and later ships. i g % Scout - Cruisers, The~'seout “crulsers'‘will bé ‘the'first scouts designed for thaf wWork afoné, to be added to the navy! The old it cruisers Salem, Chester and Birmin; ‘ham, known as scout cruisers, have not the speed necessary for a modern sea picket. “rThe scouts will make a sustained speed of thirty-five knots an hour. They will look like big destroyers and be nearly six times as large as the greatest torpedo craft, displacing 7,100 tons and having a length of 550 feet. The mass of machinery neces- sary to drive them at express train speed will be covered by light armor end each will carry eight long range Tsinch rifles, two 3-inch anti-aircraft Zuns and four torpedo tubes. The most striking new feature of the ships will be the installation of catapult devices which will permit the launching of hydro-aeroplanes in any ‘weather. Each scout will be fitted to carry four aircraft to extend Ther »Tange of observation. The twenty new destroyers will be virtually the same in design as the latest craft of the type laid down ex- cept that they will bave a maximum epeed under full load of 35 knots an hour, an increase of nearly five knots over the present high speed mark of the American flotilla. The boats are expected to be as fast as any de- stroyers afloat. They will carry four ¥-inch guns each, two 3-inch anti- sircraft guns and four triple torpedo tubes, giving each boat a broadside the billding program has been received at | PARENTS —1I want to call your attention to this as an opportunity to buy Children’s ; Shoes lower than anywhere else.

Also she must have her pet donkeys and dogs, and they, too, have to eat and occupy suitable quarters. Mrs. Wallace, the child’s mother, gets along on $12,000 a year. The child is the beneficiary under a trust fund left by her father and an- other left by her grandfather, John Wallace, also a broker, the two amounting to more than $500,000. Some day she will receive the prin- cipal of these funds. But in the mean time she must be educated, trained and brought up in a manner befitting the social and financial position she is going to occupy, for by the time she is of age the funds will amount to much more. Mrs. Wallace is now with Annie at Bagnaia, Italy, where she has for some time made her home. She said in her petition that even when they were in New York, where they live at the Waldorf-Astoria, her little daugh- ter has a private bedroom and another | She also has a s | CASTORIA Fer Infants and Children.
