Take Your Shoes
Back to Cobbler
Patches Sho,O Patriotism in Sau-
ing Leather, Says Council
of Defense.

FirGinians are asked by the State
Council OF Defense to pa,ronize the
corner cobblcr shop during the war. in
order to conserve tho supply OF leather.
The council calls attention TO tho fact
that much shoe leather which could
otherwise be utilized for war purposes
is wasted by thoushtlcss extravaganza
The old time custom OF taking a pair
OF shoes often to tho cobbler is not as
popular as 1t was, as n result Of which
great numbers of good shoes arc con-
signed to the trash heap long before
their usefulness has ended. The coun-
Gil urges that people return TO the
time-honored custom, and that by get
tins the shoe half-soled as many times
as possible. or stitch taken here and
there. make tho shoe last much longer
and thereby help in tho necessary con-
servation OF leather for war purposes.
AT n recent conference with the COM
mercial economy board of the Council
OF National Defense. representatives Of
national associations of the shoe and
leather trades unanimously approved
the recommendations of the board for
and voted to cooperate with the board
in bringing about economies in the
production and distribution of foot
wear. a committee representing all
these trades is to be appointed to work
actively with the board.
Inc Iollo"lnS resolution was adopted:
Whereas. 1t Is agreed that war con-
ditions and the restricted material
supplies in the leather trades in their
relation to general business conditions
present the psychological time when
footwear manufacturers and dealers
and the manufacturers OF leather and
other supplies can economic in the
use OF materials,
Now, therefore. II Is unanimously
resolved. That committees representing
the allied shoe and leather trades be
appointed to cooperate with the COM
mercial economy board to devise meas
ures which will effect economies in the
production and distribution of foot
wear to eliminate waste and loss re-
sulting from abuses existing in bust
ness.

SAMUELS FAV0RS FIXED
ROUTE FOR jITNEYS
Would Have Them Come East on
Grace and Go West on
Broad Street.


II Police Sergeant Samuels. recently
put In charge of the traffic squad. has
his way. the titney service A!ill be sys-
tematized. Jitneys will be- run in such
IL manner that tho public will BIO pro-
tected and guaranteed butter service
than they have been getting for the
last three or four months. and also
this change will be to the benefit of
the jitney owners.
In order to relieve congestion. Ser
geant Samucls believes that the jitneys
should run eastward from the Boule-
ward on Grace Street. Tho titney
traffic westward on Broad Street, he
says. has not caused much trouble, but
this traffic eastward has become n prob
lem. Sergeant Samuels intends to
place his suggestions in the hands Of
Colonel George Wayne Anderson, as
sistant city attorney. for formulation
In the shape of amendments to the
present ordinance.
Continuing. Sergeant Samuels said:
Grace Street cast Of First is fast
becoming shopping district. Some
OF the large stores that have entrances
on Broad Street are now provided with
entrances from Grace Street, and others
Will follow their example. Grace Street
will be the Fifth Avenue shopping dis
trict OF Richmond some day
The way the jitncys arc run now
they have free leave to go pretty MUCH
anywhere and everywhere. would
like to have them routed so that the
congestion in Broad Street. especially
below Fifth Street. can be relieved.
They now use Ninth and Broad as a
terminus and all the way from Muir
phys Hotel. at Eighth Street. to Ninth,
jttncys arc parked almost the entire
day.
There is now no regular jitney
route provided by city ordinance. and
consequently no penalty attached I
would like to have this situation
remcdied."

the blank. But we can let that 60 for
the present. How are you going to
get me across the river without TAX
ing me through the heart Of the town
and giving the Brewster police shy
at me?"
Starbuck's answer was wordless.
With quick twist Of the pilot wheel
he sent the car skidding around the
corner, using undue haste, as 1t
seemed, since they had two hours be-
fore them. A few minutes further
along the lights of the town had been
left behind and the car was speeding
swiftly westward on country road
paralleling the railway track; the
road over which Smith had twice
driven with the kidnapped Jibbey.
I'm still guessing" the passenger
ventured, when the last of the rail-
road distance signals had flashed to
the rear And then: "What's the fran
tic hurry, Billy?"
Starbuek was running with the
muffler cut out, but now he cut it in
and the roar of the motor sank to a
humming murmur.
II thought So" he remarked. turn
ing his head to listen. "You didn't
notice that police whistle just as we
were leaving the courthouse, did you?
nor the answers to it while we were
lodging through the suburbs? Some
body has marked us down and passed
the word, and now they're chasing us
with a buzz-wagon. Don't you hear
itY
BY this time Smith could hear the
sputtering roar Of the following car
only too plainly.
.It's big one" he commented.
''You can't outrun it, Billy; and. be-
sides, there is nowhere to run to in
this direction"
Again Starbuck's reply translated
itself into action. With a skillful
touch Of the controls he sent the car
ahead at top speed, and for matter
Of ten miles or more held dimin-
fishing lead in the race through sheer
good driving and an accurate knowl-
edge of the road and its twistings and
turnings. But the road would soon
become q cart track In the mountains;
there was no outlet to the north save
by means of the railroad bridge at
Little Butte station, and from some
where up the valley and beyond the
railroad bridge came the distance
softened whistle Of a train.
>Starbuck set high mark for him
self as q courageous driver of motor
cars when he came to the last of the
three road crossings. Jerking the car
around sharply at the instant of track
crossing, he headed straight out over
the ties for the railroad bridge. 1t
was a counting of death. To drive
the bridge at racing speed was haz-
ardous enough, but to drive it thus in
the face of downcoming train seemed
nothing less than madness.
It was after the car had shot into
the first of the three bridge spans
that the pursuers pulled up and
opened fire. Starbuck bent lower over
his wheel, and Smith clutched for
handholds. Far up the track on the
north side Of the river a headlight
flashed in the darkness, and the
hoarse blast of locomotive, whistling
for the bridge, echoed and re-echoed
among the hills.
