A firing Task.

Instead of reprimanding the office
boy for soldering over his work the
manager unctuously requested him
to count the ticking of the clock for
five minutes. For FIVE minutes the
boy counted. At the last second he
attacked his work with unusual ear
nestness, and for the rest Of the day
his interest never tagged.
"That is scheme they tried on
me when 1 was a youngster and In
clined to be lazy" the manager said.
''To this day l do not know the Sc
cret of its success, but I know that
to deliberately count the ticking OF
a clock will cure the worst spell Of

MAY GO BARE FOOTED.
Europe Soon May Have No Shoes
Left.

Le1t.
Rome, Feb % Correspondence of
the Associated Press)-"A barefoot
ed Europe is not improbable if this
war continues" said John F Stucke,
vice president Of the American Cham
Der Of Commerce in Italy and gen.
eral manager Of an American shoe
machinery company, in an interview
concerning supply and business con-
ditions met by Americans abroad.
AT the present time a pair Of
heavy mountain shoes lasts a soldier
but six weeks, "he said. These shoes
have their heels and soles studded
with nails at that. The shoes are
largely made in Italy but with Amer
lean machinery and American leath-
er, and the quality of the materials
is the best we can furnish, but that
quality is of course inferior to that
sold before the war. When manu-
factured by the hundred thousand
these shoes cost the government
about four dollars each. But the
supply is always behind the demand,
since materials arrive very slowly
from America. On one ship, the Pal
nero, which was torpedoed in the
Mediterranean. off the coast ofSpain,
in early December. the material for
nearly half million pairs of shoes was
lost.
THE retail store trade in Italy is
now obliged to pay nearly 81 whole
sale for shoes that before the war
cost $3.50 and it is probable that
American shoes will be selling in Italy
soon for $40 and S12 the pair. The
American shoes, because of their
shape and fit have long been the
chief product on the market here,
and particularly since the war, as
the handmade shoe cannot be made
quickly enough"

CHEATED WIND AND SAND.
How France Conquered the Shifting
Dunes Of the Bay of Biseay.

How France Conquered the Shifting
Dunes Of the Bay Of Biseay.
How France subdued her shifting
sand dunes is of a piece with Hol-
lands conquering the sea.
A hundred years ago France
awoke to the hideous threat contain
ed in the sands of the bay of Bis
cay, covering a coast line Of 300
miles. To such an extent were the
sands being blown inland that the
most fertile portion of the country
was threatened. Finally, years lat
er, came the idea Of a great lateral
dune along the entire coast as a
means of checking the encroaching
destroyer.
So France set TO work in earnest
and after fairly starting found a
willing helper in nature, which COM
pleted the task. The entire coast
line was fringed by fence, consist
ing of posts driven into the ground
at close intervals, and the spaces
between them were interviewer with
willow branches and brush. SooM
the strong winds blowing in from
the ocean banked q great wall
against this fence, apd eventually
it was entirely covered with sand.
Then a second line Of fence was
erected on the small lateral dune
thus created. In time this fence
was covered by the sand which
banked up against it. This opera.
ton was repeated many times, and
then other means of increasing the
size of the dune were used. Native
grasses that thrive in sandy soil
were planted along the top Of the
dune. This served to keep its
height as uniform as possible by
preventing the winds from carving
indentations in the face Of the pile:
Pine trees were planted along the
top. These served to check the
wind blown sand as the fences had
done in past years, and day by day
the dune grew in height and widen
ed out. As it increased in size more
pine trees were planted.
Today a great forest 2,5O0,OOO
acres in extent fringes the coast
line as the result of this initial ex7
pertinent. 1t represents Frances
greatest supply house of turpentine
and lumber. The country lying in
land from it is rich and fertile.
The sand menace has disappeared,
and it cannot acknowledgement.

1t was rumored after the convention
that Judge Higgins would be a candi-
