WOODEN SHOE HABIT
 STRONG IN AMERICA

Washington, Sept. 11-Wooden shoes, usually associated only with variety shows and pictures of street scenes in Holland are, in fact. worm. by thou sands of people in this country. A single shipment from Amsterdam to report by Vice Consul De Young, con sisted of 600 cases containing several thousand pairs of the lumber foot wear. A similar shipment was made a few months ago.
 Also the report reveals the sections of the United States addicted to the habit as follows:
 is the best foreign customer of the Netherlands for this article of nanu- fracture, many hundreds of pairs of wooden shoes being worn in Michi- gan, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, New Jer- sey, and a few other States. In fact, it is claimed that there more wood en shoes in Chicago Grand Rapids, city of Amsterdam. Paterson, N. J., St. Louis Mo, Lancaster Co.,, Nebr., Marion Co.,, Iowa and numerous other smaller settlements import large quan- titles of this practical article of dress every year.
 'The wooden shoe industry in the Netherlands is generally decentralized, logs, being hewn out to the measure of the customers feet in the village shop. The local price depends largely upon the amount of Humber used and the market price of raw material. There are. however, a few large fac tories using modern woodworking ma chinery and exporting most of their product. The principal countries to which they export, in order of their importance, are the United States and Canada. West Indies, Germany and South Africa

Yale Profs Deny
 College Men To
 Be Hard. Drinkers
Accusations of R. T. Crane of Chicago Resented as Greatly
 Exaggerated

New Haven, Sept 11-Indignant de- nial of the allegations made in re- port of R. T. Crane, of Chicago, ir which he ayers that fifteen per cent ,of the college men of the country go te the bad and a great ma jority of the students in the leading university drinks has been made by members ol Yale faculty.
 Professor Bernedotte Perrin, one o1 the most prominent members of Yaie, faculty. said after reading the state ments of MT. Crane that the whole tendency is just the other way.
 "I have been connected with Yale for eighteen years,'' said Professor Perrin. and I know that there has been a steady improvement in temper ance morals and all universal matters of gentlemanly department among the smen here. MT Cranes facts and fig 1res are grossly exaggera ted. know that I have watched the deportment of Yale men ever since my connection with the university began /and I am proud to say that it is far and away better now than it was eighteen years ago. Athletics have been responsible in part, for the improvement. There is absolutely no ground for the report as made by MT. Crane.
 Prof fessor Harlan B. Beach said:- ssFsor eleven years have studied the men of SIS universities and colleges throug ghoat the world and I know from personal observation that the state ment of MT. Crane is greatly exag- gerated It ought not to be taken ser1- OqlSly."

Dismissed For
 Being Too Old
Two Post Office Clerks Out
 After so Years of Service

New York, Sept 1.-Two of the old est post office clerks in the country live in the Bronx. Dismissed from century of labor in it, they both feel that it is not quite just that there are no pensions for them.
 Dan J. Rooney of 1447 Vyse avenue was post office clerk for fifty-nine years. He was dismissed the last of August, and it is understood that Postmaster Morgan was asked by his sons to dismiss him. He was so ad- vanced in years that at times his fel- low-clerks had to lead him to the cars s
 Andrew Hyde of 975 Teller avenue served nearly sixty years in the post office. Time was when Hyde used to take a rowboat out for the mail when a ship would arrive off the Battery. He would row back to the shore, place the bag in a wheelbarrow, and push it to the old post office. The firing of a gun was the signal for him to put off.
 That was fifty years ago. He re- members the time when he was paid for the delivery of each letter and when such delivery meant hitching on to ,sleighs and jumping fences. Twen- ty-third street was all fences. Dover street was where he was born, and the house still stands in what, during his boyhood, was a very exclusive neigh borhood. He has tchewed tobacco all his life, and the successive efforts of ten postmasters could not get him to stop
 Hyde and Rooney leave the depart ment under a law which gives the postmaster the right to dismiss man who stays away more than ninety days in one year.

PERHAPS WOMEN HAVE SOULS BUT.
 PERSIAS DOUBT

Teheran, Sept .11-A champion of woman suffrage has arisen in Persia in the person of HadH vakiI el Hooy a prominent deputy in the, MeJftssy Or Congress. The Mejffss was qufAy discussing the bill for the next eiec~ ton, which takes place fin a weeks time, and had reached the clause whicn states that no women shall vote, when Vakil el Rooy rose, mounted the trf- b1r1e, and; declared rounday that, as women possessed lives and souls, they should possess votes.
 The house listened to the new cham pion of women in the silence of stupi- fication, unable to decide whether ya- kill el Rooy was mad Or perpetrat1ns am ill-timed joke He called upon the Ulema for support, but the U1ems. shivered, muttered in his beard ana who, instead of coming to his support of sorrow and misfortune had his ears been assailed by such an impious ut- terance as that women should vote He denied to women either rights or souls. Such a doctrine would mean the downfall of Islam.
 The Mejliss was uncomfoTtable< and unhappy. The president put the c1ause in its original form, and requested the repor rters to make no mention Of t1e unfortunate incident"
 But Vakil el Rooy is pleading with his brother Legislators in and out of season. and many of them, it is stat ed are willing to admit privately what they must publicly declare b be an impious belief that perhaps women have souls.

Move To increase Fire Chiefs Pay
 Meets With Favor
Members of Board of Fire Com miSSiOners Seem Generally
 to Favor Proposition

According to interviews obtained from members of the Board of Fire Commissioners by the Morning Tele- gram, there is a strong sentiment in that board for an increase of salary for Fire Chief Edward Mooney. None Of the members of the board appears opposed to the increase and several of them are strongly in favor of it.
 As stated in The Farmer of Satur- day, Chief Mooney receives $1, ,500 for his duties as fire chief, while the two assistant chiefs receive $1,700 and $1,- 600 respectively. The chief gets $500 a year for his duties as fire marshal, but this sum is small for the amount Of work involved. In most other cit ies the office of fire marshal carries with 1t much higher salary.
 For his duties as chief, MT. Mooney actually gets less than his two assist ants, and this despite the fact that it is generally admitted that he is the most efficient and most hard working and pains-taking fire chief the city ever had and is regarded as one of throughout the country. He pos sesses the physical courage to lead his men in fighting fires and the moral courage to fight constantly to enforce fireproof building construction, no matter who may be opposed. His salary is far below that paid to fire chiefs in other cities. the size of Bridgeport. Most of them get from $3,50O to $4,000, which in many cases does not cover the office of fire mar

Helen Ware Is
 Tired Of Stage
Actress Says it is Drudgery and That Real Woman Wants
 a Home

Boston, Sept. 11-Miss Helen Ware, the youthful star of "The Price, now playing at the Hollis Theatre in this city, wants to get married, and says so.
 Seen in her suite in the Bellevue, Miss Ware said: 'eThere are lots of hardships in this life, especially for a woman. One works awfully hard nobody knows just how hard except those behind the scenes, and then afterward there is only hotel to re- turn to, and no matter how nice it may be you can't get away from the hotel atmosphere.
 Then the mental strain is terrible, almost more than physical. I have got to the point where I shouldn' t mind at all getting out of it.
 "A woman, a real woman, wants more than this-she wants home. I want to get married and have chil- dren. And I am going to have them some day, too, if I have to adopt a couple.'
