Threat to Import Shoes
Reduces Prices in Spain
Bilbao Spain Dec 24. The mere
announcement by a shoe dealer here
that he had made a contract with an
American firm to send 35000 pairs of
shoes to Bilbao on trial with a view
to further orders produced a panic
among the storekeepers of this city.
The announcement stated the Ameri-
can shoes would be sold at half the
prevailing price -of the home made ar-
ticles. Immediately afterwards prices
come down with a run.
The local newspapers advise other
localities to follow the lead of the
northern city and thus put a stop to
profiteering.

AUTO OWNERS
TAKE OWN CARS
SAYS OFFICER
Another problem has crept into the
work of officers coping with auto-
mobile thefts according to Ed Mebus
detective sergeant in charge f the
automobile recovery department.
Several reported instances of own
ers stealing their own cars to get the
insurance now are under investiga-
tion. Such owners it is said hire
agents to steal cars heavily insured
and to take them to Mexico. There
they are sold the owner gets the in-
surance and the saue price less com-
mission and gets rid of cars that fre-
quently are not of great value ac-
cording to the officer's theory.
"Possibilities of such activities are
greater on the border than they could
be In the interior. Mr. Mebus said
"and for this reason w have to be
especially watchful."
