Boot and Shoe Mems Convention.

The National Association of Boot and
Shoe Manufacturers opened its annual con-
ventiou in New York Thursday John II
Hanan. president Of the association, in an
address, spoke in favor of a uniform law
throughout the country regulating verbal
agreements for the sale of merchandise.
He suggested that federal enactment be
employed for this end.
Discussing a prospective rise in the price
of shoes al retail, he suggested methods of
manufacture by which such rise might be
avoided
Referring to the removal of the tariff on
hides, which, he said, is desired in many
quarters of the shoe trade, Mr.. Hanan said
that there is necessity for the speedy es-
Establishment of reciprocal trade relations
with Germany to prevent the wiping out
of the export shoe trade with that country
by prohibitive tariff discrimination against
American made shoes in favor of the prod
ucts OF European countries.
The report of Secretary Sol Vile showed
that during the last year there has been
net increase in membership of 100. He
recommended that steps be taken to enact
in this and other states legislation to take
the place of the bulk sales law, which was
declared recently to be unconstitutional by
the court OF appeals in this state and also
by the higher courts of several other states.
The convention will last for two days.

The Fad of Being Sick.

From the Tacoma Ledger.
One Of the commonest experiences Of the
medical fraternity is the hypochondriac
who magines himself or herself sick and
demands treatment for which there is no
reason. with many persons per-
haps, more than men-it is a fad to be
heve themselves sick. They gloat over
their own sufferings which form the chief
interest of their lives. They bore their
friends with their ailments. They are
never happy when Fostering doctor
for medicine. In time. very often. they
make themselves sick by mental sugges-
ton" or whatever it may be called, and
by persisting in a lazy valeUdinarlan exist
ence, instead of living an active, rational
life. Rut more often the doctor is called
upon to prescribe for a patient whose only
need is exercise and open air, but whom
1t would be Impossible to persuade Of this.
Such people demand medicine and medicine
they will have, the bigger and yiler the
dose the better. No homeopathic cures for
them Most physicians oblige such patients
by prescribing some harmless but Ill -tastiug
mixture and giving some good advice hop
ing thus to influence their minds and
lead them out Of the sickness habit

Girls and Play-Writing.

From the London Telegraph.
The thing nowadays that Is taking the
greatest hold Of the young girls, who turn
to the stage as flowers turn to the sun is
the mania for play writing. Every girl
who scrbbbles at all tries 20 write a play
If she can't write it she has alleged ideas

some one of the most prominent folk in
stagelard. She talks about the matter in

for collaboration who Will put her ideas
in dramatic form The germ Of play
writing IS abroad IN the land, and few
escape il. Many are melted by the current
stories of vast fortune made by the sue
cessfuI playwright. Others desire the
fame or notoriety that goes with dramatic
success. In every girls school and col
lege the mania for writing plays has burst
forth with remarkable Vigor.

Fresh Air for the Hen.

From Country Life In America
Hens kept in cold quarters and fed heavily
produced eggs with strong germs which
Matched well. On the other hand, poultry
kept in artihcial1y warmed houses laid eggs
with weak germs which Matched weak
chickens. The results were considered In
favor of fresh air and plenty of 1t. even il it
was cold In study OF the duration OF
fertilization after the removal of the male
bird, records were kept of the number OF
eggs Which Matched or which were shown
to be fertile. The last trace of fertility
was noticed eleven days after separation
The unfertilized eggs had superior keeping
qualities, so the author recommends that as
q rule male birds should not be kept with
hens depended upon for market eggs. Ex-
perience showed that where there Is variety
IN rations and care in feeding them, and
sufficient floor space. there Is little likelihood
of egg eating or feather picking. Steamed
lawn clippings were fed to the station poui-
try three or four times a week and eaten
with evident relish. Clover leaves treate
in the same way were also much liked.

Where the Live Bank Advertising is
Found

From Printers Ink, Feb. 81.
Certain newspapers throughout the coun-
try are valued so highly for the freshness
and abundance of their retail advertising
that merchants in other cities take them
on that account alone. Among such papers
are the Washington Star Philadelphia Bull
letin, etc. Bank and trust company Off
cials may also profit by what representa-
tive financial institutions are doing in GER
tain cities Washington has many adver-
Using banks and trust companies. and the
advertisements printed In The Star of that
city are calculated TO give one new ideas
and the advertising spirit it applies to
finance. Perhaps the paper that carries
most of such advertising is the Chicago
Record Herald. especially in its issues
around the first of the month, and In jan
uary and July. No banker who keeps hts
eye on the financial advertising In the Chi
cago Record-Herald or Washington Star
WIFI fail to get good ideas.

Dust on the Ocean,
From the Corea News.


'"To talk of dusty ocean highway
sounds absurd. but the xpression Is per-
fectly accurate states a writer. Every
one who is familiar with ships knows that
no matter how carefully the decks may
be washed in the morning, a great guam
tity of dust will collect by nightfal You
say, But the modern steamship. burning
hundreds of tons OF coal a day, easily ac-
counts for such a deposit" True, but the
records OF sailing vessels shows that the
latter collect more dust than a steamer.
On recent voyage of a sailing yessel-a
journey which lasted ninety-seven days
tWenty-four barrels of dust We're swept
from the decks The captain was man of
scientific tastes and made careful observa-
tons, but could not solve the mystery.
Some, doubt, comes from the wear and
tear of the calls and rigging, but that ac-
counts for only a small portion. To add
to the mystery bits of cork, wood and
vegetable fioer are frequently found In the
sea dust. Where does 1T come from?

ONCE MAN OF LEISURE,
NOW INMATE OF JAIL
LLOYD is HELD TO ANSWER FOR
ALLEGED FORGERY
Formerly Spent Money Freely at
Hotel, but He Now Is ill Clad and
spondent-UnabIe to Furnish
Bond

once the debonair man of leisure,
Alvin A. Lloyd, charged as a forger,
stood before Judge Rose yesterday at
his preliminary examination, detected
and i'll clad, and after some evidence
was introduced, was told that he would
be held to answer to the charge, under
$500 bonds, in the superior court.
Lloyd was arrested June II. charged
with attempting to pass a forged check
at the Van Nuys hotel Sunday. When
he was arrested by Detective Chap
man Lloyd had no money and was In
his room at the hotel.
The check which the man is alleged
to have attempted to pass was one
purporting to have been certified by
the cashier Of the First National bank
and was drawn for $176.47, being in
dorsed or signed by the cashier Of the
bank
Yesterday Cashier Hammond of the
bank said he did not sign the check, or
authorize anyone to do so. Witnesses
at the Van Nuys testified that Lloyd
had been living at the hotel since June
13 and that he reemed to have money.
When he failed to secure receipt in
money for the check at the hotel he
took 1t to a nearby cigar stand and
there was told the draft was not ac-
ceptable.
Before coming to Los Angeles Lloyd
was engaged as a shipping clerk with
the California electric works, a posi-
tion of some trust. His relations with
the firm are said to have been honest.
