There appears to have been a bumper crop of fuzzy bats. Sunday sport still Continues to exact toll In human lives. It is a wonder that nobddy thought of clean money long ago. . The country is safe in spite of the <Ure predictions of certain politicians. It is possible to be a perfect daredevilin an aeroplane, but what is the use? If it were not for politics a lot of young lawyers would find existence dreary. What has become of the old fashioned joint debate between leading candidate? Some plutocrat should offer a prize for the encouragement of longevity among aviators. Not only does it hurt an oyster to be eaten alive, as Doc Wiley says, but It cannot talk back. Women’s dresses, we are told, are to be tighter. Gracious heaven! Can such a thing be possible? Artificial rubber is said y by an expert to be a failure —not able to stretch a point—so to speak. After a while perhaps Americans will learn to utilize their housetops as well as their sleeping porches. Even if abstaining from gossip will not remove superfluous hairs it will leave a sweeter taste In the mouth. It Is a sad world. You escape a scorching automobile by the skin of your teeth, only to run Into a candidate. After all, it Is only fair to attempt to make a man of a monkey, since so many monkeys have been made of men. Once more the last of the passenger pigeons has died- That bird will accomplish that feat once too often some day. Now it is explained why the small boy and the tramp are so healthy. A Boston physician says that soap Is a carrier of diseases. The dear little boys In the kinder gartens may be shy on some branches of useless knowledge, but they are learning to j sew nicely. It is hartlly reasonable to suppose that all the police in New York are bad, but the bad ones are most in the limelight just now. The New York milkman who offered to accept kisses In pay for his wares must have been dispensing the milk of human kindness. This is a grand year for fruits, but certain well-known gentlemen with cravings for office will remember it because of, its sour grapes. Toadstools caused the death of thirteen persons in Paris during the last season. Another proof of the unluckiness of the number thirteen. Despite all predictions of an early hard winter, it can be regarded as certain that navigation up Salt river will remain open until after Novem.ber 5. I . - Harvard surgeons have Installed a device that records heartbeats at hundreds of miles. Pooh! The ordinary love letter has been doing that for , aeons. W 7 hy Would it not be a good Idea for some one to seek to develop the commercial utility of the aeroplane rather than to display its circus possibilities? “Lots of Americans Are fools," says the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier. This may be true, but the foreigner who says it is going to get into trouble. People who Insist on dancing the “grizzly bear” even when there Is danger of being shot for doing so may be said to have enthusiasm that is worthy of a better cause. A Chicago man, 6truck by lightning, was cured of his rheumatism for 24 hours. The method may be all right, but the difficulty of making it practical comes in securing your bolts on schedule. California scientists are endeavoring to find out whether the sun Is growing cold. This 1b the time of year when people who desire to make such a discovery are most likely to be successful. New Zealand has introduced a lettor meter by which mall is registered and paid for without the use of stamps. Must be rather inconvenient tpr each individual to have to lug a letter meter around. —.' 4 A Waukegan lady who has tried one reports that old bachelors do not make good husbands, because they are too firmly “set" in their ways. This only proves the correctness of the theory that the lady who expects to have a satisfactory husband must «ateh him and train him early.

IN the .matinee crowd on Broadway, New York, the other day Mile. Osterman appeared with a real live white dove perched on her hat Mile. Osterman declared that the bird was a dove, but many rudely remarked that it was only a pigeon. At Longacre square the wind nearly blew both hat and bird off the small head of the lady.

SETS SHOE FASHION

Footwear of United States Standard for Universe. Backward Evolution In Foot Covering Puts the Wearer Behind the Ancients In Walking Ability—— Has Many Defects. New York. —Everybody wears shoes at least one size too 6mall, it' is asserted, and with toes too narrow. This gives room for only the great toe to grow and perform Its functions, but compresses the other toeß until the smallest one is a mere scrap. The foot of man should spread like an animal’s paw with every step he takes. This is impossible In a shoe which “fits” the foot Walter C. Taylor, editor-in-chief of the Boot and Shoe Recorder, says: “The greatest waste in shoe buying Is one for which the consumer himself is largely responsible. It comes through the buying of shoes which are poorly fitted.” We not only wear our shoes too small and our heels too high, but we allow fashion to influence us, and there is a constant demand for change in style and material; a demand which the manufacturers supply abundantly.’’ Mr. Taylor says that it would be worth millions to the trade and to the consumer if this could be righted by a common sense view of cur foot covering. Of course the women are blamed for the greater part of this extravagance, for a dainty Toot has long been considered much to be desired Gradually shoes have developed into things of beauty merely and we buy them with the thought of their appearance and not of their use In fact, Americans, as a rule, do not expect to walk great distances. It seems that the development of the shoemaker’s art is in inverse ratio to the development of the foot, for here in America our feet are notoriously undeveloped, and yet America leads the world in the making of shoes. Almost everything else in the way of wearing apparel depends more or less on foreign importations, but America Influences the shoe styles of England, Germany and France, and American methods are standard for the world , „ American supremacy .in shoemaking is due largely to specialization. Abroad an operative does half a dozen different things; here he performs one simple process, and here also one factory makes one kind of shoes If a large manufacturer makes different kinds of shoes he has a separate factory for each kind What a sight the modern shoe factory would be to the primitive shoemaker of colonial days, who was an itinerant workman, carried his tools with him and stayed with each family long enough, to make up the farmer’s supply of home tanned leather Into shoes enough to last until his next annual visit His last was roughly whittled out of a piece of wood to suit the largest foot In the family, and then pared down for the successive sizes. He sat on a low bench, one end of which was divided into compartments where his awls, ham mere, knives and rasps were kept, with his pots of paste and blacking, his palls, thread, linings and buttons, “shoulder sticks" and “rub sticks With all of our wonderful machinery we produce shoes which are not so good for oar feet, as the most primitive and simplest of foot coverings, the sandal, which is considered Ideal by those who appreciate the beauty of the human foot and wish to preserve It The sandal was worn by the ancient Egyptians and Greeks and the “shoes” of the Bible were sandals The same type la still worn by the peoples of Central Asia. India. Japan and China. The Indian moccasin, which extends over the top or the foot, but has the sole and main part In one piece, is

NEW SENSATION FOR GREAT WHITE WAY

one of the best of foot coverings, soft, and durable. Out of a combination of these the sold without an upper and the upper without a sole the modern shoe has been evolved.

LONE PIGEON FOLLOWS TRAIN

For Three Years It Has Been Making Regular Trips In lowa. Maysville, la. —Every time a northbound passenger train leaves Maysville over the Great Northern coast line a solitary pigeon leaves the station and accompanies the train for three miles. Railroad men say the bird has not mißsed a trip in three years, and la as prompt as train orders. It never failß to end its flight when a certain point is reached.

HAS RIGHT TO KILL?

French Woman Writers Discuss Case of Mme. Bloch. Six To)'Two Against Woman Who Shot Rival—Various Opinions on Crimes of Passion and Literature. Paris. —Some French woman authors have been giving their views on the right of their sex to kill. Their opinions are based on the case of Mme. Bloch, who wrote books signed with the name of Frederic de Beaulien and who shot and killed Mrs. Bridgeman, who had won M. Bloch’s affections. From the prison Mme. Bloch announced that she had received “innumerable letters of congratulation” and that many of them came from her sister authors. The suggestion that woman writers sympathized with Mme. Bloch’s act moved Le Mirolr to make an Inquiry. Of the eight women of letters who gave their opinion only two supported Mme. Bloch’s action. The first of this minority, Mme. Marie de Vo vet; writes: “Although murder inspired by Jeaiousyds reproved by all in principle, nothing is more difficult to judge In the various forms It may take. The best thing, it seems to me, is to treat it with charity, thinking that before a woman’s hand could seize a weapon there must have been suffering enough to constitute presumptive expiation.” Mme. Aurel, the other supporter of Mme. Bloch, writes: “If a rival had dared to set me at defiance I believe that I should have done aq. Mme. Bloch did. It is none the less a misfortune." As for the six woman writers who condemn Mme. Bloch’s crime, more (hnn one finds that a desire for selfadvertisement, a feeling that the aotlon would boom her books, had some influence on her mind. Mme. Daniel Lesuer, the best known writer of the eight quoted, says: “T hold that he who. kills ought to accept death; otherwise he is the most cowardly of being*. On this condition only can vengeance to death be clothed with any grandeur.” Mme. Jeanne Landre would have a law passed that, except in cases of self defense, no acquittal should be allowed when a death has been caused. She. casts doubts on the sincerity of

EX-CONVICT AN EVANGELIST

To Help Other Men to New Lives Work of Alderman Burke of Philadelphia. Philadelphia.—William Burke, whv resigned from the common council and then fled the city when he could no longer meet blackmail demands of a former prison cellmate in the Charlestown (Mass.) prison, leaving behind a written confession in which he declared that up to his coming to Philadelphia, about three years ago, he had been a criminal ever since he could remember, has become an evangelist. Burke, since his return to Philadelphia, has been running a cigar store in which he had been established by a business man whose interest was aroused by Burke’s published life story. Mr. Burke will join the Inasmuch Mission workers, located in “Hell’s Half Acre,” this city, and labor with them to save wrecked lives. Mr. Burlie made this announcement the other day at the religious service at Lemon Hill, when he responded to an invitation given by Rev. Dr. James B. Ely that he speak. He tolil the story of his life, and said that since his return to Philadelphia he had received hundreds of letters from ex-convicts asking him to aid them to mend their lives as he had done his own. The letters, he declared, have induced him to take up the work.

all persons who look for advertisement in their profession. Mme. Jane Catulle Mendes,' widow of the poet and dramatist, believes that love may cause crimes of passion, but cannot in any way excuse them. "1 do not see that modern literature Is a factor in multiplying these acts of savagery which seem to me to have their origin in feebleness of hearts and feebleness of the code.” Mme. Rachilde argues that "to commit the crime which was the motive of the second crime required two people ;" then why kill the woman and spare the man? Because she loved her husband, the father of her children? If that was so she ought to have forgiven. Literature a broad back. A true lover of letters would have had the wit to fire in the air, if this form of advertisement was absolutely necessary. Mme. Valentine de Saint-Point, the lecturer on "Futurism,” has no sympathy with lenient verdicts v ln crlmeE of passion. She says: "A person who pretends to be acting without consciousness of what he Is doing or under the influence of madness is a much greater social danger than a conscious criminal, and as au individnal much more lnßiguidcauL” Mme. Andree Corthls Is unhesitatingly against Mme. Bloch. She says: “I cannot understand love that has no dignity, love that thrusts itself upon and clings to its object, not this extraordinary idea of longing to keep a man who flees from you, even if scandal, force and mhrder are necessary to hold him.” 1 __

WOULD GIVE GIRLS TRAINING

Dusseldorf Professor Advocate* Compulsory Military Service for ' * Women. Berlin —Compulsory military service for German girls la advocated by Professor Witxel of Dusseldorf. An army of nurses should, in his opinion, follow each army of male combatants, not only to care for the wounded, but to attend to everything connected with food and clothing. Every healthy German girl, says the professor, should look on training for this object as a patriotic duty, and the knowledge will be useful in the home if it is not utilised on the battlefield.

MORAL FOR THE MONEY-MAD

Hope of Becoming Millionaires About on a Par With the Washerwoman’s Delusion. Prof. Warren M. Beidler of Bethel, Pa., in a recent address made the striking adeertion that the American people, money-mad, taught th&r children how to earn a living, but not how to live. * “There is no viler, and there Is no vainer ambition,” said Professor Beidler to a reporter, “than that of the American Boy to become a millionaire. What percentage of our boys do become millionaires? It would take a good many decimals to work that out, believe me! The boy who sets hiß Heart on a million fares likes the washerwoman who set her heart on a cross-eyed aeronaut. * ‘I hear you married that cross-eyed aeronaut last week?” said a friend. “ ‘Yes, I did,’ replied the washerwoman, as she rocked back and forth over her tub. ‘Yes, I married s him. and I - gave him SSOO out of my Duildin’ association to start an airship fa& tory*! “ ‘That so?’ said- the friend. ‘Where Is he now?’ “‘I don’t know,’ said the washer woman. ‘l’m waitin’ for him to come back from his honeymoon.’”

BOY’S FACE A MASS OF SCABBY SORES

Awful to Look At, Reslnol Cured In Less Than Two Weeks. SL Louis, Mo. —“At about 11 years of age my face was covered with a mass of scabby sores, awful to look at, and my sleep was broken up by the intense itching, and then after scratching, the sores woald pain me Just something awful. My mother got salves and soaps to use, but all to no purpose. A friend of mine who was Physical Director at the Y. M. C. A. at that time, told me it was a bad case, and would spread all over the body if something were not done. He gave me , some Reslnol Soap and Resinol Ointment, and-in less than two weeks I was cured, without leaving any marks or scars whatever.” (Signed) Ernest Le Pique, Jr., 8021 Dickson.

As he entered his room he heard a noise that seemed to come from under the bed. “Is there someone there?” he asked, absently. “No, professor,” answered the intruder, who knew his peculiarities. “That’s strange," muttered the professor.> "I was almost sure I heard some one under the bed."
