Now York. Nov. 12. Dearer shoes are likely to result from a decision of th" Board of United States General Ap praisers which Is expected in a few days. The question before the board, nnd one which Is specially In charge of ex-Judge Somervllle. Is whether green or raw calfskins shall be admitted Into the country free ot duty. If the board decides that the law must be construed ns including raw calfskins In the dutiable list o'f hides. ! then the pifco of calf shoes and boots and everything else made from such ! leather, will bo tnntci tally advanced. Tho matter was brought before the board of appraisers by scores of boot and shoe manufactuiers all over the j country. The Importers of leather . ; claim that calf skins, untanned, should I be admitted free, tinder Section 0G4, I I which says that skins of all kinds In I their raw state, except sheepskins with the wool attached, and other skins not , specially mentioned, are not dutiable. I Under tho Dlngley tariff alt hides of cattle In their raw state are dutiable at IB per cent, ad valorem. This would mean a very large Increase In the price of calf leather, and consequently, nlso, in the price of shoes. ICLEVERLY CATCHES THE HUNTERS. Parmer Lwnn's Scheme ns Good ns n Klondike.

Your state committee have met monthly and In specia.1 meetings when deemed necessary to talk and pray over the work of our associations for tho young women of this .state. Wo are gla.t to have witt1 .is Hr.aln trie recording sec- rei,.ry of our committee, Mrs. L. A. , atres, after a long absenco abroad, and to know tlmt sonio of our members vtho have been sick are recovering, HAS LEFT TH12 STATU. Ono of our members. Miss Ilello llever, Severn her connection with the statu committee as she has left Pennsylvania, She was one of our charter members and presided at our second convention and has always been an interested and helpful worker. Allow mo to say that you are fortunate In your selection of your pres ent state committee, not only because of their ability, social position and Chris tian character, but because of their ex perience In local Associations which gives them greater interest and makes their adleo of more value In state work. Five of them cro presidents of city as sociations, one Is president of a largo col lege association, and others oro acttvo workers In various departments. So I feel that as chairman I have had strong support and you have Intelligent and in dent service. Tho chairman had thu pleasure of entertaining tho members re siding at headquarters and several of thu non-iesldent members at her homo in January, when the year's plans received careful consideration, and tho new col ic go secretary, Miss Helen A, Brooks, was welcomed to our midst. At that tlmo It was decided to call Bliss Emma Hays, a former general secretary In one of our city associations, to assist our stato secretary in tho cities as Miss Brooks was to do In colleges. It wu hoped that by thus adding to our forco and dividing th field all oC our associa tions could receive mora help and also that the desired extension of our work into unorganized places could bo carnod on more effectively. Miss Dunn atlll found herself unable to give much actrva assistance, but her advice was of great valuo anil her Influence of hor prayers was felt In the work. Both Miss Brooks and Ml Hays did! excellent servicv in tho Held as all ot yoi can testify. A flourishing association has been or ganized in tho city of Reading with well equipped room and experienced, secretary. Three new college associations have also been added to our list Women's Medical college, Philadelphia; Indiana Stato Nor mal school, Perkiomen seminary, Penni burg. DOING FAITHFUL WOKK. - Tho associations nro doing faithful work with good results. Several city as sociations have funds started and plans made for new buildings in tho near fu ture which means peimanency and broad, er and better work. Moro doilnlto and systematic plans are being adopted In the eJuenllonal departments. But wo foel sure th&t tho spiritual remits are uppei nio;t in the thoughts and prayers of all. The summer conference nt Northllel I was largely attended by lVunsylvyli association mcnibcrs. Next year, however, we hope that moro of o.ir city workers as well as collexo members will att'inl and eopecially frjiu tho boards of manogeis. They would f" ! tlie results In spiritual blessing to th r own lives and benefit to tfulr .iroclatlu-t and would help to give the conference .lit character thut the international commit teo no doubt desire, of a conference c.f Christian women from all walks of Hie and fields of service In addition to ilu one It has bad, aid always will did rhould have, that of a conference of col lege wtircu. We bepeul: your Interna In this matte und I '-plug that nost sea son you may not only help u send sonu young women n delegates, but go youi sclf ir possible. Wo hear f n in many of the good rusulu of the Day or Prayer and beg you all to u so It and make more of It next year. Some of the nsM'-clatlons have had tho edded help of a week of prayer, and al-J of special evangelistic (.urvleeb that have brought lion blettsiutrH.
