Women's brogans will be airier, lighter and dressier, with dominance in open toes and heels. Following the prewar trend, there will be liberal lines of "casual," or informal, types for comfort or wear. Comfort also will be a theme for e moccamen's shoes, with sins with composition bottoms in their own again. Saddle oxfords will be given a big play. Open toes and backs also will feature children's and misses' lines next spring, and increasing attention will be paid to the adequate airing of active juveniles' perspiring feet, both from the comfort and health angles. With the modern young miss catching on fast, at least one manufacturer has developed a fashionable misses' line patterned after adult styles, to give "little sister the same shoe as big sister." This " so - called manufacturer's line will run in sizes 5, 6 end 7. Some Late Developments. In general, developments in shoe manufacture have kept apace dur ing the war. One of the big innovations is the "no mark" synthetic rubber heel, made of a compound that does not scuff up floors, etc. Nylon thread was found adaptable for sewing sharkskin tips to ordinary leather uppers. Hot wax and oil treatments have been developed for preserving leather soles. Plastic soles, of vynol resin, for instance, have proven exceptionally durable. Because of its life and porous qualities, however, leather still remains the No. 1 material for shoes, with no replacement in sight. Experiences in importing also have proven the superior processing of American tanneries, it was said. Despite the government's removal of many restrictions on the industry, production of civilian shoes will continue to be limited, with little prospect that normal supplies will enter the market for at least a year after the war. At the present time, manufacturers have to fill large government orders, and manpower is short. Because of the tremendous output of shoes in the immediate prewar period, the U. S. was better off than it might have been if inventories had not been worked up, one manufacturing representative said. Own Bases in China rsstursa. tell who his big moment is.

STALIN IS A FIRST GRADE REALIST JOSEPH STALIN MARSHALL considers himself a practical realist. His one purpose is the development of Russia and the advancement of the Russian people. In area he will reestablish the boundaries of the Russia of the czars, with the, at least temporary, exception of a portion of Finland. Unlike Lenin. Stalin is not a promoter of world revolution. As a loyal disciple of Lenin he accepted communism. When, after the death of Lenin, he found communistic methods were retarding the development of Russia he discarded the rule of the Soviets as a form of government and established a dictatorship. What the future government of Russia may be only time can tell, but while Stalin lives it will be a dictatorship, for he believes rapid progress in Russia calls for one-ma- n decisions. While Stalin lives I am convinced America will have no cause to fear a Russian directed communistic movement within our borders. That does not mean we may not have communistic effort and agitation. Such as we may have will be instigated by our own radicals and "pinks," and not by Russia. While only time can tell what conditions may follow the passing of Stalin, with the development he will give to Russia she will have, within a comparatively few years, both the manpower and the resources to be a formidable enemy in either, or both, Europe and Asia. is not a man of ideals other Stalin Gasoline - soaked buildings at than those he believes can be apHengyang airdrome blaze fiercely a plied, in a practical way, to speed minute after being fired by the the development of Russia and the demolition crew.
