Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 11.—The real
of Bellamy Storer and Ills wife to make
Archbishop Ireland a cardinal of the
Catholic church is better understood
In Cincinnati than In Washington,
To Archbishop Ireland is given the
credit for the conversion of Mrs. Storer
and later her husband, from Protest
antism to Catholicism. It was Mrs.
Storer who fostered the movement to
establish the Catholic cathedral In Cin
cinnati. It was she who offered the
archbishop of Cincinnati a palace on
the hill tops.
Mrs. Storer'* politics! and social ac
tivity In Cincinnati has been great. Her
husband represented the flrat district
In congress at one time.
To the friendship of Archbishop Iro-

In 16 years. A* a result of some agl-

more money than It needed, next year
the pay of th* teachers would be raised.
Bright prospects for the teacher*.
And In the meantime, the superin

head of every other Important depart

“It’s a Disgrace.'’
"If* a disgrace.” said Mayor Wood
ward, "that the teachers of the public
schools get such small pay, as com
pared to the salaries of other city of
ficials, and that the superintendent
of public schools should get less than
the heads of other departments.
"Think whHt responsibility attaches
to the superintendent. He has under
his chnrgc about three hundred teach

a dozen officials, with not nearly the

was elected suitable reward was sought
for Storer.
Storer preferred a cabinet position.
He was slated to become assistant sec
retary of state. At that moment Sena

his opposition to Storer caused Presi

He Is a_ leader of the movement

Important one and the results obtained
In New York anil other cities have been

found that children who spend their

other children and engaging In healthy

This movement will be pushed In At

SHOES AS GIFTS
For those who would combine the- practical with the
beautiful In their Christmas presents, we make this sugges
tion:
Give a pair of pretty shoes. Every woman who haa
slightest regard IJor her appearance wants pretty, well-fitting
shoes. The more dressy kinds—patent, kid or a combination
of the two—are really very attractive. You may be sure they
would have appreciative welcome, coming via the Santa
Claus route.
Look at our Dressy Shoes and see If we are not right
suggesting them as appropriate for gifts.
