MEAT EATING AND SHOES
How the Spread OF REORGANIZATION
May Boost the Price of
Footwear.

There are six really big shoe factories
In the United States. These turned out
25, COOK 900 pairs OF shoes last year. Shoes
to the value OF $40, 900 were sent abroad,
and the remainder, valued at $40, OOO, 900,
were used in this country. Although the
trade in rubbers increases every year. only
s7O,OOO.OOO was spent for such things last
year.
We are told that the preaching OF veg
etarianism ipterferes greatly with the shoe
business. Last year Germans took a no.
ton to eat less meat and the shoe manu-
facturers in the land Of the kaiser were
in despair. It is necessary to sell a great
deal OF meat in order that hides may be
obtained without loss.
This is another instance OF the need OF
cooperation between manufacturers OF all
kinds. Unless swift and Armour and the
other packers are able 70 sell their goods
the factories in the East must do with
less leather. When the factories are forced
to get along with less leather the world
must get along with fewer shoes. and
must also pay a higher price for those
Il does buy.
II Is interesting TO know that the foreign
shoe trade is constantly increasing.
American salesman are entering Darkest
Africa and inducing the natives to court
bunions and corns by departing from
their COCA custom Of going barefoot

TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT
A War Time story R~ecOuntinE the
Thrilling Experience of
a Scout.

In Harper's for November there is a re-
markably true narrative of the adventures
of L~andegon. a scout in the Civil was. He
tells dramatically Of the day when he was
captured in a Confederate uniform and
narrowly escaped hanging.
Il didn't get five minutes Of trial; they
asked me again where I'd been going, and
1 told them ~agaih-lying the best I knew
that 1 was only a camp servant. 1t had
got too hot for me up there at the front,
and 1 was scared. and getting back to the
camp where I belonged.
Some one yelled, He's a spy; look at his
clothes
And I turned on him and says: I'm no
spy. I'm just a servant, an theses all
the clothes l have-I don't get a uniform;
1 got to wear just What / can find'-alI tha
sort Of thing. Anyway, II 1 wasn't a spy,
one of 'em said, / was a damned Yankee.
that had stole the clothes OF some pore,
dead Confederate soldier And they all
said: That's so, all right! Stole 'em off
some pore dead soldier. He had ought to
be hung!
The president of the court got up and
said, You're guilty Yank, and 1t is the
sentence O. this court that we hang you
by the neck until you're dead
They all laughed at that, and got M

forth. With the help OF a pencil and a few
diagrams. Mr.. Burton easily proved the ac-
curacy Of the method to the apparent sat
isfaction OF his interviewer, and thereafter
looked forward to a prompt appearance of
the story. But a few days later the secret
Of the delay was revealed. A special envoy
of the paper waited upon him, full of con-
sternation and apology. and prepared to
make amends within reason, but was EN-.
phatic in announcing that it was absolutely
Impossible to publish the story because,
after expert investigation. they had become
convinced that II It should appear in print,
1t would destroy the protective power OF
every time-lock safe In the country. And
the representative of the newspaper did
not take his leave until he obtained what
Mr.. Burton under the circumstances read.
lily granted-a signed agreement releasing
the paper from its obligation to publish
the story and solemnly pledgtng himself
not to attempt to publish it elsewhere. Ac-
cordingly, the curiosity piqued by this bit
OF inside history is likely never to be graft
fied.-The BOOkman.

PRIZE STORY TOLD TOO MUCH
Ingenious Method of RObbinE a Safe
Frightened the Banking

Ten years or more ago, series Of prizes
for the best detective story were offered
by a certain well known western news

"Our violet crop last year Melted us more
than $1,000" declared a young woman who
raises violets for the New York market.
My sister and 1 began the business about
four years ago with a capital Of less than
$50 and about as little experience as girls
who have lived in the country all their
lives could nave about anything growing
in the ground.
Our first Investment was in twelve I'M
glazed hotbed sashes 3x6 feet at 70 cents
a sash. By glazing the whole lot ourselves
the cost came TO $40.
'It was in the autumn that we began,
just about this season. While the glazing
was going on we devoted our evenings to
studying up varieties. We soon learned
tina we must choose between the Marie
Louise and the Lady Hume Campbell, as
they were quoted as the only double va
~rleties suited to commercial growing.

most popular in the New York market
and It was there that we intended to mar

them. Early in March we invested $40 In
cuttings Of that variety and began work In
earnest.
Following the advice OF a successful
violet grower, we ported these cuttings In
