! The announcement of an extra lspecial, better-than-eYer fibred- rubber sole and heel by the B. F.. Goodrich company has brought Ishoe manufacturers to their feet with a jump. For long time it I,has been known that the experts of Ethe words largest rubber factory, Iwho have developed the famous IGoodrich Safety Tread Tires, the I.Goodrich Suverton Cord and Hi lpress" boots to such a high point lof perfection, have turned their energies toward tho developmnt of sumething new in the sole and heel line. i.-la-
 It is entirely new-different from top to bottom-a new design and composition which has never been used before. They are light as leather and give more than double the seryice-Goodrich new Fibred-RuBber sOles are slip, stub and water proof They cling tight with every step-nO more slipping,
 Some time ago a test was made with the tread rubber which Good rich. experts have developed for the Goodrich Safety Tread Tire. A straight abrasion test between a piece of this stock and piece of carbonized steel of equal thickness resulted in a victory for the tread rubber. It is actually tougher than steel. Knowing that this is true, shoe manufacturers believe that all evils which may have at tended the usa of rubber soles or heels heretofore will be elminat- ed and the assertion by Goodrich experts that this is true confirms their opinion.
 The Goodrich company indmates that 1t will push its line of soles aud heels for winter use as well as summer wear. The fact that rubber is imperVious to water and dampness is @ strong talking point in it's favor and it may well be that before many years have passed Goodrich fbred-rubber Eoles will be as popular for winter wear as they are now for use during the summer monthp,
 The B. F. Goodrich company an nouuced that the sale of it's new sole and heel will be confined ex- clusiyely to shoe manufacturers.

How Experts Are Made.

In every generation there is apt to
spring up body of men who, add
ing to natural abilities and an uncom-
mon stock of assurance a certain
amount of specialized knowledge, ter
rorize the rest of the world under the
guise of experts"
Thinking that they find something
rotten in the state of Denmark, in
capable of calm reflection, and eager
for notoriety, they hit upon specific
for what Is amiss, compared with
which all others are spurious imita-
tions.
Their field of interest may range
from solar mythology to eugenics.
but the threefold badge of the tribe
is an overweening belief in their own
infallibility coupled with proportion
ate contempt for ordinary human be-
ings, the command of barbarous jar
gon and an irrepressible desire to
badger and bully their unfortunate fell
low-creatures.
