FLAT FEET AND PATRIOTISM
careIessness in Buying Shoes Units
Many Americans for Service
in the Army.

1t is not lack of patriotism that
makes Uncle Sans task of recruiting
big army a difficult task. 1t is fiat
feet and weak hearts. says the New
York Globe. Despite prosperity there
are thousands of young men who, I'M
der the stimulus of preparedness CAM
paigns, have been and are offering
their services to the country, but few
are accepted.
The preparedness parade is having
it's effect. Thousands of inquiries have
come into the recruiting stations by
mail, telephone and by applicants in
person. If only flat-footedness and
weak hearts could be eliminated, there
would be no difficulty in getting all the
men necessary. The f1at-footedness is
due in large respect to the careless
ness of most men in selecting proper
shoes. The poor heart showing is due
in q large measure, the recruiting Off
GERS say, to the increased number of
cigarette smokers.
AS an instance of the severity of the
physical examination, the report Of
Capt. Frank e. Evans, recruiting Off
Ger for the marine corps, may be cited.
Captain Evans has six recruiting sta
tions-fve in New York and one in
Newark. During the first eleven days
of May there were 149 applicants for
enlistment, and of this number there
was not a single man who qualified.
The majority of these men were re-
jected for poor hearts. Among the
others were many suffering from fiat
footedness.

RESEARCH WORK IN AMERICA
ton of Principle Which Has Al
ready Done so Much.

Prophecy is double-edged tool with
q peculiar facility for injuring the user,
but the activity of the present leads
one to predict that each succeeding
year will bring us nearer to the state
in which the research work of the
country will be national in both scope
and effort.
The federal government and the
states have done and are conducting
research of immense value to agricul-
ture, the foundation of industry; but
the future will witness a more general
application of this principle-an active
national interest in industrial research,
and this will serve as a healthy SUBJ
sidy for American manufacturers.
Research has enabled our industries
to make rapid strides. The recogni-
ton of this fact has occasioned a re-
cent awakening to an increased sense
of appreciation of the need of greater
facilities for insuring the scientific de-
velopment and extension of industry
and commerce and Of promoting indus
trial research.

AGED WOMAN LOST IN SWAMP
Wild Berries Only Food During Two
Days of Wandering Near
Aniwa, Wis.

Antigo-Mrs. Charles SAFE, rs years
old, related her experiences of being
lost in a swamp and without food ex-
cept wild berries which she picked
and without drink except for water she
found in little pools. She lost her way
while berry picking with friends from
Aniwa, Wis.
When it was learned that she was
missing, all work at Aniwa was sus-
pended and the entire population
joined in the search. The lumber mill
shut down and road work discontinued
while the men searched the swamp.
The woman's dog stayed with her
during The two days. When she was
brought food and water, she helped
the dog first, saying that she would
have died of lonesomeness if the
animal had not been with her.
She heard the searching parties the
day before she was found but was un-
able to make herself heard, and could
not reach them.

Elephant Labyrinth.

Near Ayuthia, formerly the capital
of Siam, is curious labyrinth in
which elephants are captured alive.
The labyrinth is formed by double
row of immense tree trunks set firmly
in the ground, the space between them
gradually narrowing. Where it begins
at the edge of the forest the opening
of the labyrinth is more than a mile
broad, but as it approaches Ayuthia it
becomes so narrow that the elephants
cannot turn around. Tame elephants
are employed to lure wild ones into
the trap. Having reached the inner
end of the labyrinth. the tame ele-
plants are allowed to pass through
gate, while men lying in wait slip
shackles over the feet of the captives.
