Adjutant-General Dickson said to- day that the situation is well in hand and that, while embers of the race hatred were doubtless still smolder- ing, he feared no further outbreak. However. field commanders of the 6,000 state troops in the riot zone were under orders not to relax their vigilance and to act promptly and de- cisively at the first information of a renewal of the outbreaks. During the night several calls were made for | troops at points within the zone and in some instances shots were fired, but quick responses to the summons led to suppression of the altercations.

The Herald mentioned the other day that the coming fall would bring a sharp advance in the price of shoes. | More information on this interesting (if unpleasant) subject has been ob- tained from trade papers and other sources. Shoes that now sell for will cost about $12 in the fall and more in the 1920 spring season. Shoes that sell for $12 will cost about $15. The dealers give warning that people should not, on seeing higher prices ahead, rush to buy shoes, because such action on the part of ocustomers would only serve to lessen stocks unduly and increase the later | season prices. Retailers, wholesalers and tanners, through their trade organizations and well-informed trade papers, have issued a warning of mounting prices, giving as the paramount reasons the high cost of raw materials, the un- precedented demand for leather and shoes at home and abroad, and the advances in wages paid to labor im all branches of the shoemaking ine dustry.
