FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1918 Grafting In War Contracts The principle of grafting has be-| come so well established and is look- ed upon so tolerantly by the Ameri- can people that it is small wonder it should be found to be operative in the transaction relative to the plac- ing of large contracts for war sup-| plies.

Rather will they rejoice because of the prospect of the removal of the motley array of shoes that command notice and the increased ease with the found in the future. unostentatious shoe may be By selecting the shoe as the start- ing point for control of woman's ap- parel, while in the realm of men's fashions liberties have been taken with such essentials as belts and pleats, and the elimination of the favored double breasted style of coat, the government is showing that discretion which is the better part of valor.
