WHY SHOES DON'T SQUEAK.
How We Have Been Rid of an An
Client Nuisance.
(Kansas City Star.l

do you remember" asked the shoe
salesman, the days when new shoes
creaked? And how you used to have
the shoemaker put wooden pegs in the
middle of the sole about every week to
stop the noise? Sometimes you soaked
the soles of your shoes in water and
then had to run them with lard or some
other kird of grease to get them flex-
ible? You don't do that now. The new
welt has taken the squeak out. In the
old days the sOles of shoes consisted
of two even pieces of leather, and the
friction OF these two pieces caused the
squeak wien a person walked. Shoes
are made differently now. You see that
little piece of ridged leather that runs
from the heel around the outside of the
sole? That's what we call the wet. II
is piece of leather about an inch wide,
sewed to a flap cut and turned under
the inside. The space between the outer
side and the insole is filled with or
binary tar paper. which holds the soies
In shape and also prevents squeaking
by. taking away the friction. This sys-
tenn of welt was invented thirty years
age, but at first it wasn't a success,
because the soles were sewed with a
straight needle. Couldn't explain II to
you in 100 years. but TO prevent the
squeaking the soles Of the shoes have
TO be sewed with crooked needle.

IDAHO TRIAL MARRIAGE.

Representative Kinney of Fremont
county. Idaho. has introduced in the
legislature of his state bill providing
for trial marriages. Kinney proposes
to let people enter into a marital con-
tract for a period of five years. with
the privilege of renewal il both parties
are DESTROYS of taking the step. And
the renewal must be made every five
years. Otherwise the marriage cere-
mony becomes null and void. Kinney
is said to be perfectly serious in his ex-
pressed desire TO see the bill enacted
into law.
There is no prospect that the bill will
be passed. Nor should 1t be passed. X
is easy enough, unfortunately, for any
body with fairly reasonable grounds to
secure a divorce in almost all Of the
states. including Idaho. The trial
marriage law would merely have the
effect Of making legal separations
easier. We have not the statistics ar
hand. but we believe they would show
that majority of divorces are grant
ed before the couples have lived to-
gether for as long as five years.
People who can live together that
long can live together very much long
err. The first years OF married life are
always the hardest. 1t is then that the
young people go through the most
trials. for it is then that they must re-
form and rearrange their lives I'm order
to meet the new conditions that contin-
ually confront them. The man must
to a certain extent, learn to do without
his former friends. So must the wo-
man. II they cannot be all in all to
each other they discover the fact be-
fore five years have passed, and di-
vorce or separation ensues.
OF course. there are many exception;
to the rule. A great many men con-
tract habits years after marriage that
render them unfit for the society OF
their wives or any other decent woman
But the general rule is as has beer
stated. The trial marriage law will not
solve the problem by good deal.

FRENCH "HELLo" GIRLS HOME.
Oondon Chronicles


Telephone girls in Paris have now a
home and hotel of their own. They are
showing the way 10 the "midinettes. Z"
typewriter girls, and girls of every other
type whose presence is sunshine in Paris.
The telephone girls home was inaugu-
rated by an elaborate ceremonial at
which the minister of public works and
the under secretary for posts and tele-
graphs presided. Hundreds OF pretty
telephone girls swarned in and around
the establishment, and could hardly be-

ture. 1t is a magnificent structure six
stories high. with a white and pink stone
facade on the Rue de Lille, and compares
favorably with the most comfortable mod
ern hotels. Its spacious dining saloons.
reading rooms. halls and chambers have
electric light and steam heat, and the res
taurant is most inviting, though meals
will cost less than a franc. The telephone
girls hotel was built by a body of phil
arfthropists headed by NJ. CASTOR Menier
former minister Of commerce As many
OF the girls and women employed by the
postal and telegraph department found II
impossible to get decent lodging near their
work and had to live I'm unhealthy garnet

There are 127 rooms. all well lighted and

THESE GENIUSES MISMATED
Men of Renown Who Received No
Help From Wives.

Many of the worlds most brilliant
men received absolutely no sympathy
or assistance from their wives. says the
Philadelphia Inquirer. Among these
was Sir Walter Scott, who while walk
ing with his wife in the fields one day
called her attention to some lambs, re-
marking that they were beautiful.
Yes" echoed she; lambs are beau

That Incompatible essayist and chirp-
ing philosopher. Montaigne. married
but once. When his good wife left him
he shed the tears usual on such occa-
siOns and said he would not marry
again, though il were to wisdom her
self.
A young painter of great promise
once told Sir Joshua Reynolds that he
had taken a wife. Married." ejacu-
lated the horried Sir Joshua, then you
are ruined as an artist"
The wives of Dante. Milton, Dryden
Addison and Steele shed no glory on
the sex and brought no peace to their
firesides.
The list of "unhappily married" is
large and brilliant. 1t includes William
Beckford, the author OF ''Vathek. .
whose enormous fortune and great tai
ents were alike wasted.
Lord Lytton was also unhappily

large part at least Of the subsequent
misery was due TO his temper and con-

with such constant labor, during many
years.

NEED MORE SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

One of the striking indications of
Salt Lakes growth is the remarkable
increase I'm school population and the
Trestiltant necessity for more school
buildings than are available now. In
spite of the construction now in pro-
gress and accomplished, the schools in
some districts are badly crowded, and
in others the board Of education has
had to redistrIct and shift pupils until
there is no proper relation between To-
calities and school facilities.
Official statistics show, for instance,
that the Emerson building. with nor
NAL capacity of $50 pupils now has
SOC: the Franklin. capacity $50, actual
enrolment, 625; the Grant, with a ca
pacity of 7O2, has 935; Hamilton. whose
normal limit is $50, has 746; Sumner,
$50 capacity; attendance. 654. This
showing of excessive demand might be
multiplied indefinitely, but the exam
pies cited suffice to show how over
crowded the important buildings are
and how urgent is the need of more
buildings TO relieve this pressure. The
total capacity OF all buildings is a lit
tie over II 900, and the children in at
tendance number 5000.
Under the present fiscal laws the
board of education has liz mills of tax
at it's disposal for building purposes
or a revenue of about $4,000 annually
The annual increase in school popula-
ton is about 1,50o pupils, and to house
these building of from eighteen to
twenty-fOur rooms is needed. With
the money at it's command the board
cannot begin to- provide rooms enough
for the normal increase, much less
overtake the excess attendance which
is now a problem. To put it different
", The building funds for this year and
next would not suffice to build addi-
ti6nal rooms enough for the children
who will attend school next fall.
Obviously the city's school plant has
fallen behind it's educational needs, and
more funds will, have to be furnished
than come with the ordinary annual
tax. To meet the emergency, and meet
it promptly, the board OF education has
decided to submit to the people fol
vote a proposal TO. raise $25O.OO0 by q
bond issue. the money to be applied
TO the erection of new buildings Inn

CATION, The Herald is convinced the
bonds should be approved and the
board authorized to proceed with the
new buildings as quickly as possible
No one feature of the city's attraction:
is so potent for good as its public
school system. 1t is not only valuable
to the people whose children attend
the schools. but it invites newcomers
