THE TRIUMPH OF THE
 AMERICAN SHOE

Newspaper readers will have noted that among the big orders for supplies given for the contending armies are enormous purchases of American shoes. It will be strange indeed if Europe does not learn from this ex- prience that the American shoemaker is the best in the world. Across the water the ordinary shoe combines awkwardness of form with Unfinished efforts at fancy style As g result of the inferiority of the ready made article, high priced custom shoenaking is said to be more com mon than with us.
 As one looks in at the window, of to speak too warmly of the fine ef- feet made by our home made and ready to wear article. Occasionally. freak styles come along, in which the normal shape of the, foot is twisted into deformity. A pointed shoe may, please the minimizing eye. But the drift of the times seems to be in fa- vor of the rounded lines that follow. and protect the curves of the human foot.
 American makers have attained a wonderful success in producing leather that shall be pliab1e, soft, and comfortable to. the foot. yet capable of resisting strain. The fitting of the upper to the peculiar curves of a last is a technical problem that is wonder fully solved. Years ago one often used to see wrinkles in shoes, which spoiled the contour to the eye and ir- ritated the feet. Nowadays, by some craftsman's magic, the upper seems to emerge from the sole as if it grew there.
 It will be strange, indeed, if many of the fighters of Europe, who are now to wear American shoes for the first time, are not attracted by their soft comfort after they return to nor nal occupations.

 The inf1uencess of these artificial bodies of water in producing malaria is subject of complaint in many communities in the south. Some of these complaints are probably well founded, but others are hardly based on any solid ground The variance of opinions on a subject of so much importance to many localities has caused the United States Public Health Service to undertake a com prehensfve investigation of this mat ter, a preliminary report on which has just been published.
 7 In order to determine the effect of this kind Of ponds on the production of malaria, the conditions which ex- isted before the pond was built must be compared with the conditions which developed afterwards. In oth- CT words the malaria proceeding from the pond must be counted as a debit, and the malaria prevented by it as credit. It is only by a long and care fuI study of all the factors involved that it can be definitely determined whether artificial bodies Of water of this character are actually responsf- ble for the prevalence of malaria. When this study is completed, the Public Health Service will be able to suggest measures to minimize the Ill effects of such D onds and to increase to 3 maximum the good results which may be accomplished by them.

Today the whole enlightened world is arrayed in defense of it's children. Statute books fairly bristle with formidable laws that offer pro- lection to their moral, mental and physical welfare. With the pioneer society as an inspiration, children's aid societies, humane associations, founding hospitals and their like have sprung up all over the world. In the United States today there are about
 450 societies whose purpose is the pre-
 vention of cruelty to children, while it is estimated that there are at least
 100 more such societies scattered
 through the civilized countries. Even
 Asiatics and Africans are now pro- inhuman exploitation and abuse. Dur
 ing it's forty years of benevolent wor, the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
 alone investigated about $50, 900 com
 p1aints that involved the welfare of about 100000 New York children
 under the age of 16. Nearly 200, 900
 of these were rescued from immoral l surroun dings, physical cruelty, neglect and destitution. Every state in the 1 Union has it's labor laws which effect the f2,OOO,OOO American working boys
 and girls between the ages of 10 and l 15, which the National Child Labor | Commission is endeavoringA to make l uniform throughout the nation. There
 are chi1dren's courts to dispense jus- 1 'tice to a large part of the 25, 900 juve- l nile delinquents reported annually in
 this country. There are homes for the crippled and the deaf and dumb,
 and there are creches where the work l ing-mother may leave her children
 during the day while she is outside of her home earning a livelihood.
