As pointed out in these reports to the Star, British opinion 28 & whole never has believed that tha com- plete program set forth by Sea retary of the Navy Wilbur had any chance of becoming an actuality and today's news serves still far- ther to confirm the belief that America's expanded navy would be mostly on paper. Curiously enough, it is a Liber- al paper, The Evening Star, which is the first to assert that the wide- spread agitation arising in the United States against a big navy constitutes a result of the British government's cutting down its own eruiser program. "To some extent our own admir- alty had its claws cut, if the Amer- ican people can perforny the same operation on their own naval die- hards the cause of disarmament will receive a much needed fillip," this paper concludes, ---------- pi Butler: "There is a mendicant at the door, madame!"

The men's style committee, taking to heart ile lesson of the mew Ford and 'he heel would be the fashion, the com- mittee announced; arches would be "peantifully molded," and shoes would be gayer in shade. The President of the association, however, plainly hailed from Mis- souri. When one of the speakers complained that there had been 8 falling off in the sales of men's shoes lately he remarked that the trouble was too much artistry. When designs were simple and sim- ilar the manufacturers could make 2.000 pairs of shoes a day. but since the style purveyors began to insist on variety the outpui had been more than cut in half. Inevitably shoes made under such conditions cost more, and the pub- lic can hardly be blamed for mot buying them.
