Dr. Day said that although he re- ceives duily reports on rolling store ales from the backers of the ven- tures, and lends the moral ald of the city to such enterprises, they are pri- business operations conducted for profit “Any person who wants to run a rolling store can do 80," Dr. Day said. “They must get a peddier’s license 1 the Department of Licences just men now running them are 1 to do. 1 will co-operate with n to any extent possible to get Jies at low prices, Just as I stand ready to do with the men now in the business, so long as they keep their prices on a scale that is not extor- tionate.” Dr. Day said he has not yet re- ceived the official order of the War Department permitting official bodies and organizations to buy consign- vate | ments from the army sales sotres at SHIP ON BAR IN FOG SAVED BY HEROISM OF COAST GUARDS ina Steamer, With 23 Aboard, Es- capes Grave off Cape Cod After Night’s Battle, ORLPANS, Mass. Oct. 15—The old freighter Fair Oaks, a steamer of nineteen years wervice in the coast. wine escaped the shipping grave of Cape Cod’s sand bars to-day through the seamanship of the Orleans coast guards. ‘The Fair Oaks, carrying a cargo of plaster rock from Walton, N. S., for New York, scraped over the outer bars north of here in the fog last night and brought up on the inner shoals with a jar that strained her seams. Hoeavy seas pounded the vessel and Capt. Hassel whistled for help for his ship and its crew of 22 men. fn the fog and darkness the coast guard patrols found it difficult to lo- cate the source of the whistling, The vessel's position was approximated, however, and the surf boat broken} out. Three times the boat was} swamped {n efforts to launch it from the beach before Capt. Robert Pearce | and his seven men were able to get away. ‘They reached the Fair Oaks| after a hard row through tumbling} seas and found the steamer with trade, own idea—pure linen where the wear comes.

Garrison, of the B. R. T. Merksamer, through Attorney Max- | well D. Harris, sued to collect an ex- coss fare of five cents charged him for riding to Coney Island July 30, and for the $50 penalty provided in Section 69 of the railroad law for charging in excess of legal fare. Justice Niper suggested that as the case Involved a question of law and the interpretation of the contract be- tween the city and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, the right of a jury trial be waived and the case be submitted to the court. Attorney Harris agreed. He en- tered upon an exhaustive disoussion of. the subway contract And con- tended that the company had no right to charge a fare in excess of five cents without the consent of the Board of Estimate, He insisted that the line had been completed to Coney Island within the meaning of the contract. Attorney H. L. Warner, appeatiey for Receiver Garrison, contended that the subway contract contemplated that all four of the lines running into Coney Island should be run as one |system and that until these lines were |completed the company was justified in collecting the additional fare. ‘Tho euit is a part of a long fight for a 5-cent fare to Coney Island Last spring the matter ken up by the Borough Park Heights Civic Association, which tried to test the jlegality of the extra fare by having |four members of the association ar- rested for disorderly conduct. when they refused to pay the additional fare.

This problem, serious as - it is for adults’ shoes, is even more serious for boys’ and girls’ shoes. f Active, care-free boys and girls, er | and playing about to their little hearts’ content, wear out shoes with relentless rapidity and without any consideration of cost. A poor quality of shoes for children would be dear at any price. Getting Down to the Heart of the i Children’s Shoe Problem i Gimbels gave considerable thought to this problem. They determined to find thorough! me high-grade shoes that would give 100% satisfaction—believing that such shoes could be sold in tremendous quantities, which would thereby reduce prices to the very lowest level. , Such shoes were found in the 8 TER BROWN SHOES) Young People Like Them for Their Comfort § ~ , Parents Choose Them for Their Long Wear The Buster Brown uses the best leather that can be procured. It is built on the best lasts science can produce to protect the soft bones of young feet. It is not a small-sized adult’s shoe, but a young persan’s shoe built on specially designed lasts—lasts that take account of the way a young person’s bones develop from year to og between the ages of 2 and 16. This is a very important matter—because wrong shoes are the cause of a great number of flat feet, fallen arches, weak ankles, etc., later in life. f Buster Browns Are the Best Shoes for the Young We obtained the sole agency for these wonderful shoes in New York. This permitted the concentration of Buster Brown shoes under one roof—reducing costs. We placed orders in tremendous quantities, and we ordered fully a year in advance —thus reducing the price still further. And we set our retail prices at the smallest margin above costs—so as to demonstrate our leadership. ‘To aid in the work we engaged salespeople who are experts in fitting children’s feet. This Plan Has Proved a Success The public response has been most gratifying. The recent enlargement of our children’s shoe section has been an accompanying feature of our growth. And now, after six months of Buster Brown retailing, we offer $150,000 in Children’s Shoes At the Lowest Prices At Which Shoes of Such Quality Can Possibly Be Sold The shoes we sell to-day are priced less than wholesalers are charging, and these prices we will not increase so long as our present stock lasts. We advize parents, however, to buy NOW, for market conditions will force higher prices on the new incoming stock. The Specialty Shop for Children’s Shoes GIMBELS CHILDREN’S SHOE SECTION—Second Floor
