M Tho person who limits tho use OF
tho wooden shoe. II his mind, to the
native OF Holland and the Dutch
comedian would be greatly surprised IL
he could appreciate to what extent the
foreign footwear IL used in the United
States. Especially is this the case
when the larger cities are considered.
Surrounding Chicago, for instance, are
many farms which are worked by i'm
migrants from the Netherlands, where
the shoes are immensely popular in
the wet and swampy parts Of the coun-
try, owing to their imperviousness

employment tilling the soil, planting,
wedding and doing all the other littlc
stunts which fill the markets with no.
tatoes and cabbages and such things.
They have been used to wearing wood
en- shoes in the old country. They
cannot get accustomed to the leather
shoes. They don't want to get accus-
toned to them, in fact. They would
rather slip on the sabots, in which
they can splash through mud and
water. II need be without danger Of
wet feet. Not all wearers of the wood
en- shoe are to be found in the fields,
however. Men In few odd vacations
have discovered that the old wooden
shoes are better for some purposes
than their more pretentious cousins of
calf or cowhide. In work which keeps
a man In q very hot place, such as
stocking in a big furnace room, the
wooden shoes are said to be far pref
cradle to leather foot coverings. Not
only are they easier on the feet, but
they do not dry up and crack and
wither away in the heat as the shoes
from the American factories do. Wood
is slow conductor Of heat, compared
with leather, and the excessive thick
ness Of the wooden soles allows the
stokers who wear them to stand and
walk for hours on a floor so hot the
hand could scarce be borne upon it,
and yet their feet do not feel the ex-
cessive heat. In slaughter houses, too
where the floors are slippery and Shiny
with blood, the wooden shoes are ap-
preciated. Leather shoes rot very
rapidly and in day or so the blood
and moisture seeps through their
seams and makes things unpleasant
and unhealthy. The wooden shoes are
so heavy and thick that it would take
a year for the stuff to wet them
through, and so the wise butchers
wear them.
