WILSON CRACKS Whip
ON COLOMBIAN TREATY
Insists on Immediate Rati6cation-Re-
pubhcans Optimistic.

President Wilson is determined that
the treaty with the republic of Colombia
shall be ratified by the special session of
the Senate He made this clear to Sena-
tor Martin. of Virginia. the new majority
leader. yesterday, and Senator Martin re-
tired to the Capitol to inform his fellow
Democrats Of the Presidents wishes.
The prospects of Presidential success
are uncertain. Already opposition to the
treaty among Republicans Is sufficiently
strong to halt action on the document,
and the belief Is expressed by Republican
leaders that with their present power to
continue debating the measure a suffi-
cient opposition can be developedfto make
certain a vote OF one-third the Senate
against the treaty. which is all that Is
necessary to insure its defeat.
Once the Republicans are sure that .
count OF noses has placed them in a posi-
tion where the necessary two-thirds Of
the Democrats. they will let the vote oc-
cur and beat the treaty.
The Senate was In executive session

Pneumatic Tires for Hiking Shoes.

Taking his inspiration from automo-
bile tires. and going the ordinary rubber
heel ono better. Oscar Mussinan, Of New
York city, has invented a pneumatic tire
for his own shoes. The tire" differs
very decidedly from the ordinary heel in
that q partition Of rubber Is built in It
half way up its thickness. The partition
thus forms an air chamber with the
bottom of the leather above It, and still
another one with the ground when the
heel comes down upon it, explains the
Popular Science Monthly. Each Of these
two chambers is connected with the out
side air by a small opening. When the
heel strikes the ground, the air in the
chambers becomes slightly compressed,
causing the Jolt Of the walking to be
very greatly cushioned in a manner very
much similar to that in which the auto
mobile tire cushions the jolts of riding.
To prevent the air from becoming too
suddenly compressed and so putting the
bottom Of the heel out OF shape. the air Is
allowed to escape slowly through the
openings.
