SPORTS SHOES.
For the First Time In History Wom-
ems Feet Are Emancipated.

Sports clothes are good looking, they
are comfortable, they give freedom to
body and to lungs Sports shoes, for
the first time In woman's history, al
low her feet to be set on the ground in
that healthful and satisfactory way
which men have known for years.
This very matter Of foot furnishing
Is in itself boon, since it not only
makes the foot itself symmetrical, but
the body is held right, hips and shout
ders are well poised, the woman for
once may walk as human being and
not as mincing feminine creature.
This correct poise Of the foot and body
is something that conserves the
strength, whether one walks or stands,
for walking is made easier and more
pleasurable, the heart has less work
to do, there Is no wrong pressure upon
nerves Or the bony structure.
Osteopathy of late years has proved
that this last named mistake some
times affects the general health or
health of the various organs Of the
body, and certainly that which affects
or harms the general health will not
add to the beauty, to the good looks Of
the complexion, the contour of the face
nor the brightness and pleasing express
sion of the eye.
To bark back to the matter of the
correct and mannish last used for
sports shoes for women, it has doubt
less surprised MANY to find out how
becoming these shoes are to the fem
mime foot. Indeed, any correctly shap-
ed foot needs neither pointed toe nor
French high heel to appear to advan-
tage, for these indeed are supposed to
hide Or disguise defects, as well as to
heighten good points
But the human foot, the natural blu.
man foot, is possessed of its own beau
ty and looks well in any shoe which
has good last as it's foundation, and
women as well as men view with sur.
prise that trim, dainty member in a
sports shoe, with low heel, broad toe.
well laced ankle, so truly good looking
is 1t and with a coquetry all of it's own,
as distinguished from the deformed
pinched and cramped pedal extremity
tottering about on it's ridiculous heel,
which was once considered the only
way for weman's foot to be seen In
public.

sam MOL|nARO USES REVOLVER
Molinaro Escapes and Has Not as Yet
Been Located. injured Man Refused
to Tell Police More Than That Shoot
ing Was Result of an Argument. ;

Jenne street had shooting ARRAY
early Sunday evening when Sam Moli-
marc shot and slightly wounded Henry
Ricco. As Molinaro is son of a we'll
known Italian merchant ON the west
side of the city the shooting caused
considerable excitement in the colony.
Molinaro escaped after the shooting
and he has not as yet been located.
Ricco was not sufficiently wounded to
be taken to the hospital and the little
mark of the bullet on his arm did not
keep him from going to work this
morning. The police were at the scene
of the shooting within a few minutes
after the shot was fred, but at that
they were not quick enough to get a
line on Molinaro. The man who had
used the gun fled to the home of his
father where he dropped the revolver.
He was last seen running along Jenne
street. The father later turned the re-
volver over to the police department,
but he declared that he had no in
formation in regard to the shooting
and knew nothing of the whereabouts
of his son.
Ricco and Molinaro had met in
front of a house at 1856 Jenne street
and they were alone at the time of the
trouble. Some people asserted that the
shooting of Ricco was the result of
play between the two men, but this was
not the story which Ricco told the po-
lice. He asserted that he and Moli-
marc had an argument which culminat-
ed when Molinaro drew the thirty
eight calibre revolver from his pocket
and pushed it up to the heart Of Ricco.
Ricco in what he believed was a death
just as the gun was discharged and in
stead of the bullet reaching his heart
it cut g hole through his. shirt and just
"pinked" the arm. When Ricco was
asked by the police to make some
statement in regard to the argument
he had with Molinaro the police could
get no detailed statement from him.
He did not seem to be interested in
the attempt to arrest the man who shot
him and paid no attention to the
case more than to have his wounded
arm dressed.
The father of Molinaro expressed
great regret that his son could have
been mixed up in street shooting but
he declared that he had heard of no
trouble between the two young men
and that he could not in any way ac-
count for his son having the revolver
in his pocket.
MoliLaro is eighteen years of age
he had been employed in Kenosha
factory. Efforts to get some trace of
him last night and today were with
out results. No warrant for his arrest
has been issued, but the police are
seeking him expecting that they can
bring out the facts in regard to the
case after he has been arrested.
Friends Of both Molinaro and Ricco
when seen declared that they had never
heard of any trouble between the two
which might have resulted in the
shooting.

JITNEY MEN ARE BUSY.
Kenosha Drivers Put Many Questions
to REPRESENTATIVE of Commission.

Railroad Commissioner Walter Alex
ander met an unexpected delegation
in Kenosha today when he was bonn
barded with questions from represen-
tatives Of the Kenosha Jitney Associa-
ton. He brought them the word that
the new jitney law had been signed
by the governor and that the commits
sion would begin the issuance of per-
mits within the next few days as under
the law these permits must be display
ed on the jitney buses in the state on
the first day of September. Mr.. Alex
ander told the Kenosha drivers that
the commission had not as yet framed
up any regulations for the new charges
under their care, but that some plan
would be worked out for these regula-
tions just as soon as possible The
commission promises to make the reg
ulations in Wisconsin in keeping with
the progressive regulations of other
states. The local men objected most
strenuously to the operation of iitneys
on just one or two days of the week
and they were given to understand
that this matter would be taken care
of when the regulations were framed
by the commission. Both Commission
er Alexander and Engineer Larson
seemed to take great deal of interest
in the suggestions made by the Keno
sha men and it was evident that they
were anxious to pick up any sugges-
tions which might prove helpful for
the future Of the commission in solving
the problem Of proper regulation Of
the iitneys.

pardon-The Gebeseitige Unterstuet-
lungs Gesellschaft Germania, in Wis
consin. Up at Wausau on Saturday
afternoon this big organization of Wis
consln German-Americans voted to- hold
their next annual convention in Keno
sha. The next convention will not be
held until August of 1917, but when
they get together again the Germans
will come to Kenosha and the conven-
ton promises to be one of the largest
It not the largest, ever entertained by
the city. George Fischer, Jr., and
Julius Pabst were in charge of the
fight to land the big convention for

from the Kenosha common council and
1t is expected that the city will see to
it that the invading hosts are properly

land the convention for Kenosha and
the returning delegates were decidedly
tickled with the outcome Of the battle.
More than thousand people from other
cities attended the big convention at
Wausau which closed on Saturday even
ing and it is expected that even a
greater number will be present at the
big gathering in Kenosha two years
from now.
Many of the German organizations
in the city are expected to join with
the local branch of the G.. TT. G. Ger
mania in making up a program for the
big Kenosha meeting. 1t is hoped that
by this time the war in Europe will be
over and that the Kenosha meet will
be the first great peace gathering of
the Germans of Wisconsin. At the
closing sessions Of the convention in
Wausau resolutions were adopted
thanking the city Of Kenosha for the
invitation and pledging the attendance

CAN'T FIND MoLINARo.
Police Search in Racine in Vain for
Man Who Shot Henry Ricco Sunday.

Police Search in Racine In Vain for
Man Who Shot Henry Ricco Sunday.
Kenosha police officers worked the
italian districts Of Racine pretty
Thoroughly on Monday afternoon and
evening in an effort to get some trace
of Sam Molinaro, the eighteen year
old boy who is wanted on charge of
attempting to kill Henry Ricco on
Sunday night. 1t was declared that
Molinaro had fled to Racine following
the shooting sbut no trace of him could
Ebe found at any of the homes of
Italians in that city. The police now
believe that Molinaro is in Milwaukee
and theepolice Of that city have been
asked to make search there. Tt is
I5Ust possible that Molinaro will make
his way to New York and seek pas
sage to Italy as a reservist. 1t is
claimed that he had expressed the de-
sire to enter the army to several of his
friends in Kenosha. Ricco is rapidly
recovering from the slight bullet
wound he received in the arm and he
was able to resume his work in one Of
the Kenosha factories this morning.
