measured 10 feet and inches and weigh
ed over 300 pounds.

claimed as positively that he was a
harmless variety.
Stats" Is veritable shark catcher.
Learning that he was going out again
yesterday the others asked to go along
They went fishing and took shark hooks
with them. They had hardly put the
hooks overheard when Mr.. Korn re-
him overheard. Others also quickly
grabbed the rope and they hung on

the tearing Of the big fish. Gradually
the fish was tired out and the men got
him alongside OF the boat He was
then far from dead and snapped vicious

in the boat purposely to kill a shark
II he caught one. He handed one to
Mr.. Korn.
Korn whitfield away and hit nothing.
He tried two or three times and didn't
hit anything but water.
Gracious, Korn. you never made q
hit in your life," said Stats.
Didn't. eh? How about the time
voted twice and landed a Job for Sandy
Aaams?"
That's so. I'm all through replied
Stats.
But he took the bat just the same
and with one crack he hit the shark
on the snout and he Strengthened out
There, that's what 1 call a home

literally dosed with scientific terms. Here
is what the heavy conversation all means:
THE soles Of the feet most readily
absorb vitality.
salt water soaked sand is charged
with electricity
Rubbing the bare soles Of the feet in
the sand generates a life-giving radio
current that roUts disease and brings
buoyant health.
IF you do a barefoot dance in the
sand daily you soon will be soaring in
spirit and SO charged with electricity
that you will want to leap from sky
scraper to skyscraper instead of walk
ing along ordinary sidewalks"
Devotees by hundreds are prancing,
dancing, and chasing each other over the
beaches. and scores are taking UP the
new fad daily.
Babies are kept barefooted all day; the
new, nifty bathing socks have been dis
carded by girls. and staid matrons do
not hesitate to shuttle gently along the

Gen. Carranza's reply to the American
note accepting the commission idea for
settling the differences between the two
governments and urging an extension of
the powers OF the commission beyond the
limits defined by Gen. Carranza, was de-
liVered to the State Department yester
day by Ambassador Designate Eliseo Ar
redondo.
In this reply Carranza accepts his own
proposals. but dissents, automatically.
from the suggestion of this government
His declaration that instructions have
been given to his commissioners ito de-
vote their attention preferably" to the
three Issues he stated in his original
proposal for the creation of a commits
sion. was construed by many officials to
mean that he expected the commission
to limit its work to recommendations for
the solution OF these three issues and that
he reserved the right OF accepting or re-
jectinS at a later time the State Depart
ment's proposal for the broadening OF
the Initiative OF the commission.
The Carranza note means. in the
opinion OF officials, that Carranza will
insist upon the withdrawal of the Amer
lean troops from Mexico as a condition
precedent to any settlement of other
questions.

over the price of their former Forty,
which sold for $4,000. Last year the
Case Company devoted a good share
of its activity to car of smaller type.
its decision To devote its entire time
to the larger car indicates the return
of the demand from the smaller types.
Born and bred in the midst of
Case ideals it looms forth as the car
that is bound to carry the Case stand

announcement puts it. This car is put
out oa the reputation of the Case
Company--a company known and re-
spected since 1892. As a product OF
one of Americas pioneer industries. it
is bound to be met with great ap-
proval Ivy the automobile trade.
There are many talking points in
the new announcement The wheel

long for car of this price. The en-
gine which develops from 40 to 45
horsepower, is designed with 81 inch
bore and 6-inch stroke. Westinghouse
ignition, starting and lighting equip
ment are used, and the fabrication is
an especially designed force feed type.
