SUMMER SHOES
FOR GIRLS AND BOYS
They are cheap, cool and for
Canvas shoes with rubber soles will be
very Hauch in evidence this tuttluu:r and we are showing
a big variety for girls and boys.
In fact while most girls and boys like these kind of
shoes better than leather shoes they are sold at a price
mush less than leather footwear.
One line for girls which wo wit,ll to mention in partic-
ular is made alter the style of a
ROMAN SANDAL (that is with several straps)
They are made with rubber soles and fall rub-
ber heels and have leather insoles which prevent
perspiration, those are now being shown with several
other kinds in our north window and are made from the
smallest sizes up to 5 for ladies or growing girls who
wear ladies sizes.

SCHOOL REPORT
NEW WORK FOR WOMEN.
A Large Organization in Torontr0
Aids the Unemployed.
Shortly after the outbreak of war
the Toronto Women's Patriotic
League started its activities to help
our boys at the front, and any other
patriotic work that might present it-
self. Hardly had the ladies started al
before the question of the unemploy- '
ed loomed largely on the horizon. a1
Hundreds of girls and women out'of
positions applied for assistance in m.
getting work in the dark days of
1914 and 1915, when the bottom
seemed knocked out of everything.
It was seen at once that to ade- .1;'J
quately cope with the situation an "
employment bureau moat bo started, 1Q
and some form of co-operation be- Yi
tween the city and the country set
afoot, as well as enlisting the help

XX
and sympathy of employers. Much
has been written of the work, of the '
league and its• various departments,
but now ,that the unemployment
question is not so acute, the work at
the bureau is apt to be overlooked.
However it is going, and going
strong. An item in the October num-
ber of -the Labor Gazette shows how
strong. Under the reports of em-
ployment bureaus we find that the
number of casual jobs supplied by
the Toronto Women's Patriotic
League bureau was 578 for Septem-
ber, and here only women and girls
register. It is worth while to com-
pare this shelving with the figures of
the Winnipeg Free Bureau, where
men, women, boys and girls register,
the number there being 1,229. This
is an indication of the usefulness of
the Toronto bureau,
Miss Duff, who is in charge of city
work, states that since. the bureau
opened there have been 5,125 regis-
trations; 638 have been supplied
with permanent positions in the city,
and 398 in the country. During Oc-
tober 398 casuals were supplied. The
classification includes such work as
factory,, domestic, sewing, office
cleaning, stenographers, elevator and
switchboard operators, and such odd
occupations as millinery, packing,
poultry farm assistant. • Labelling
boxes was another request filled, also
a demonstrator was supplied.
Naturally the problem of getting
the middle-aged woman (unskilled,
most frequently) a! position was a
task. However, 'Miss Duff is most
reseureeful, and• soon got in touch
with emp1opers who were sympathy-
do and co-operated with her desire
to help these women. They did not
judge. soSaly by.sge, • There. is the
usual dearth of domestics, and the
only relief in eight will be some plan
such as is being adopted in. San
Francisco, where women specialize
and, go by 'the hour to the Homes,
doing one particular ging: Iaundry
work; cookery, or eleaning, and are
paid by thft hour as skilled laborers.
Between former and net. registra-
tions the total passing through the
bureau in one month was 666. Em-
ployers are availing themselves of
the bureau, for 138 calls were receiv-
ed f9r help, and 367 casuals supplied
in October. These were individual
applications; often an employer will
want more than one .girl, so that
More than 138 might get position.]

Mr. Lindsay has decided to clear out his entire
stock. He 'has instructed me to sell everything in-
cluding store fixtures and store equipments there-
fore I will offer the goods in detail. This sale
comes at an opportune time. The cry of the
HIGH COST OF LIVING is heard in every home,
in every land. Everything we eat, wear and use
has increased to an alarming extent and present
conditions threaten famine prices.
It has required serious deliberation and great
courage on Mr. Lindsay's part to resolve upon the
quickest means of disposing his goods but he has
MADE THE RESOLVE. HE HAS PLACED HIS
STOCK IN MY HANDS WITH INSTRUCTIONS
TO SELL, thus the contents of his store embracing

Lindsay's resolve is a PUBLIC benefit. It is a
PUBLIC SALE and you may by reason thereof
