Although every one has his feet measured
for shoes. there are very few persons who know
what the sizes marked upon the shoe stick

America and Europe. The stick used In the
United States was originally English and is still
used in England. The rest of Europe uses the
French stick.
The sizes on the English shoe stick were do.

run three TO tho inch. The first mark on the
stick. or sise l. is made arbitrarily, Just 40
inches from the upright. Why this distance
was fixed upon does not appear to be known.
For some other reason which only con no
guessed at, the graduated paIv OF the stick ia

These numbers begin at / and run up To IN and
then they begin again at l and run up to l3. The
hrst numbers from ! to o are known as infantIs

Are Used for Like Purposes.

are uSeo Tor Like FuFDOHos.
The longest of the various kinds Of hooks used
in handling merchandise is the porter's hook,
which Is made of half.inch steel and is from
thirteen to fifteen inches in length. This is
used in stores and warehouses to pull down
boxes that are stacked up, to pull boxes
on to hand trucks, and SO on. The heaviest
Of the hooks Is the freight handlers, which
is made of nine-siXteenths steel. This
is used in freight houses and elsewhere,
and in the handling OF such specially heavy
packages as cases of paper. Not all freight
handlers use q nine.sixteenth hook; some have
them made Of Fighter steel; for a nine-sixteenth
hook weighs about two pounds. and the mere
handling of such n hook all day calls for the ex-
ercise Of some strength, but the great majority
OF the freight, handlers think nothing OF the
weight OF tho hook.
The hook most commonly used OF all is the
case hook. This Is the kind that truckmen use.
1T Is ten to twelve inches In length. and almost
always OF half.inch steel, though 1t is sometimes
made of nine. sixteenths, and sometimes OF less
than halfinch steel.
length. and OF scven.siXteenth steel. This is the
hook that is used by lonRshoremen and men
working along the river fronts in handling all
sorts Of articles, including lumber. The cotton
hook has a small bend; most of the other hooks
have a larger bend. and each book has a shape
OF It's own. best adapted to It's special use.

perhaps: with occasional repointing; and the
man using 1t becomes accustomed to It. and

Eighty dead prairie chickens were found. but
