CHINKS QUIT SLIPPERS
FOR AMERICAN SHOES
Wall from Orient for Real Brogans
from United States.

From far away Cochin China comes
the Macedonian cry for-shoes; yes, but
above all-American shoes
The inhabitants of Cochin China are
satisfied with nothing short of American
shoes: European brands of American
shoes" will not do, says Consul Lawrence
P. Briggs. stationed at Saigon, French
Indo-China, in a report to the Department
of Commerce here.
But there are several stumbling blocks
n the way OF satisfying the demand
American manufacturers insist on cash
(. o. b. New York. whereas the almost
universal method of payment in Cochin
China is 50 or so-day draft against ship
ping documents c. 1. T. Saigon. So the
battle between (. o. b. and C i. f. is q big
factor.
And then. after all, the market is lin
tied, for most OF the five or six million
natives tributary to Saigon wear no shoes
at all The demand principally Is on the
part of the 5000 or 10000 white inhab itants
and few thousand natives, Chinese and
Indians who have adopted Western dress
Oxfords and high shoes are about
equally popular in Cochin China, but
blacks are much preferred to tans
The American shoe has made a hit.

ACCEPTS RESIGNATION
OF ship BOARD MEMBER
Disagreement With McAdoo Leads
Bernard N. Baker to Quit.

President Wilson yesterday accepted
the resignation of Bernard N. Baker, oil
Baltimore, as a member of the Federal
Shipping Board. Mr.. Bakers resignation
was due to complications over the organ
izstion of the board, chiefly over the Sc
lection of the chairman. He is said to
nave disagreed sharply with Secretary oil
the Treasury McAdoo, who had decided
to give the chairmanship to William
Denman, of San Francisco, who was ap-
pointed to the six-year term.
Secretary McAdoo, announcing Mr
Bakers resignation and its acceptance by
the President, made the following state
ment:
Mr.. Baker resigned because 1 suggest
ed to him that thought 1t would be wise,
in the circumstances, II the board would
consider giving the chairmanship to the
Pacific Coast. The President was in ac-
cord with this suggestion. Mr.. Baker
said he desired to think the matter over
for the night. The next morning he sent
his resignation"
Mr.. Baker was selected for the board
because of his wide experience in ship
ping affairs, and his active aid to the ad-
ministration in securing the passage OF
the shipping bill through Congress. He
was one OF the organizers of the Atlantic
Transport Company and was one of the
first to propose that the United States
government enter into the shipping busi-
ness

The difficulties of getting the public to
eat fish that, according to the diction-
ary and the encyclopedia, was extinct
was explained last nighoby DR.. Hugh NJ,
Smith, chief of the Bureau of Fisheries,
at meeting of the Biological Society of
Washington at the Cosmos Club.
DR.. Smith spoke about the neglected
aquaric resources of the United States
and told his hearers about the campaign
to get the public to eat tile fish and dog
fish. There are innumerable food fishes
yet uncaught and comparatively un-
known that would make a dent in The
high cost Of living, IL the public knew
and understood their values" said DR..
Smith.
A new kind of pee-wee was described
by one of the members, who discovered
in the neighborhood of Cabin John Park
a pee-wee that caw-caws like a iay.
Specimens of the foot bones, phaIanees.
and frontal toe formations of the hor.s
and cow were exhibited.

to kiss in Maryland as 1t is in the Dis
trict of Columbia-when either the hsser
or the kissee has a cold.
IF anything, more dangerous" he said !;
''for Maryland kisses-but that is a lit
tie beside the point. Besides, 1 always

things that l don't like to see them drag

newspapers. Not in the newspapers. No

DETECTIVE TO APPEAL
FROM PAYMENT OF fine
VIM. ]. Burns Convicted of Publishing
Private Letters.

Special to The Washington Herald.
New York, Jan. H.-Counsel for William
J. Burns, convicted and fined on the
charge of publishing private letters.
are today preparing to appeal from his
conviction in the Court Of Special Ses-
sions to a higher tribunal. Mr.. Burns was
found guilty, rather of technical vio-
lation of law than of actual wrong doing,
being assured by Justices Freschi, Collins
and Garvin Of their belief that he acted
from good motives, and that he believed
he had right to abstract private docu-
ments from the office of Seymour & Sey-
mour, lawyers, without their consent.
The case was the direct outgrowth Of
the public protest about year ago
against police tapping telephone
wires into the homes of offices of indi-
viduals. While the controversy was at
its height the members of the firm of
Seymour & Seymour announced that they
had reason to believe their telephone
wires had been tapped"
Investigation of. this charge brought the
startling revelation that there had been
a leak" from the Morgan offices. 1t
clearly was intimated in briefs submitted
at the trial OF Messrs. Burns and Egan
that Count Won Bernstorfr was in a posi-
ton to obtain the Information that
leaked out of the Morgan offices.
The conviction of Burns was based
upon the single act of having divulged
the contents of the letters to the ]. p.
Morgan &Co. employees.

YOUR EXPENSIVE FURS
MAY BE JUST RABBIT
Plebeian Ringer" May Have Deceived
You. Say Experts.

Young woman, when you bought that
mum and neck piece and thought you
were getting Baltic black fox or "eIec-
tric seaP' or finland SEAL did it occur
to you that you were buying rabbit fur
yes, just plain rabbit fur? Well, the
chances are that you were buying fur
from the rabbit that you ate at a fash
ionable hotel last season.
The better kinds of rabbit skins, ac-
cording to the Department of Agriculture,
are used for making fur garments which,
when made up. are correctly known as
"cony," but which are sold under other
trade names as rule. White skins are
made up in imitation of arctic fox, or,
sheared, in imitation of ermine.
Gray rabbits are dyed brown or black
and become Baltic black fox" or Baltic
brown fox" seal-dyed, they become "in-
land seal" electric SEAL" coast seal :"
or "near-seal" These garments, while
handsome and comfortable. have little
durability and therefore are cheap, says

New System Of
Fat Reduction

Here's a new way for all fat people
to laugh together at that old bugaboo-
Obesity. The saying that there is moth
new under the sum does not now ap-
ply to fat people any more. Here is
something new for them-a new sensa-
tton, a new pleasure, a new and grace
full figure, easily found by any one who
is passing beyond the limits of Slim
ness. Every one has heard of the Mar
mola Prescriptions: that harmless COM
bination of fat-defying elements which
has become known as the most success
full of all reducing treatments. Now
there comes another idea-the idea OF
condensing these same pure, harmless
ingredients into a pleasant little tab
let. Taken after eating and at bed
time, they help the stomach to dispose
of all the fatty foods. converting them
into compact solid flesh. muscle and
energy. without dieting or exercise.
Marmola Prescription Tablets regulate
the entire system-do for you what
bodily exertion and self-denial cannot
do, and the fat. once routed, Is gone
for good. You can prove all this at a
trifling cost. Marmola Prescription
Tablets are sold by all druggists or
sent postpaid by the Marmola Co. S64
