ENGLAND LIKELY BE FORGED ID
 WEAR CLOGS
(By United Press)

LONDON, March 21. - England, faced with an acute leather shortage, is adopting wooden shoes, commonly known in the Netherlands as clogs. This situation, which before the war would have been hooted by John Bull, today is faced calmly. Measures have been taken looking toward the devel opment of the already established bushes sof making clogs. To quote the Textile Mercury, of Manchester, on the subject,
 Hundreds of London school child. ren are now wearing clogs, which cost about three shillings a pair (73 cents) |, and London County Council school
 teachers have been providing clogs for ill-shod pupils, who have been paying
 for them by weekly installments of three pence.
 The price of leather, states writer
 in the paper mentioned, suggests that the city man of the future will chatter " buoihCoo HI tAO6o. TUT NOuHtTy wear one can buy an elegant pair of lace-up clogs at a quarter the price of equally efficient boots" Apart from the attention that they would at | tract, there is no reason why these should not be worn in town" There | is nothing undignified in the clog worn by the Lancashire or Yorkshire tex tile worker Not few of the captains of the textile industry have themselves ! worn clogs, and some at least would not be ashamed to wear them again. | The present home demand is so great that an order for 100000 pairs of sabots for the Belgian government has just had to be declined by Brit ish clog making firm.

NEW FIELD NOW
 OFFERED FUR WOMEN
(By Associated Press)


 LAWRENCE, Kan, March 21. - Women bacteriologists are preferred to men in comparatively many labora- tories, and for that reason bacteriol- ogy is offering a new field for wom- ens Several women ,bacteriologists from the University of Kansas now are meteorological diagnosticians in biz hospitals or are doing bacteriolo- gical work in other laboratories.
 Every few months the university receives call for a woman bacteri- ologist, but the demand for such wo- men workers far exceeds the supply, says Dr. F, H. Billings, professor of bacteriology in the university. Bac- teFie4esieai requires pains tta allsting k and accurate effort and peculiar delft ness that makes women particularly efficient in meteorological work Uni. versity bacteriologists point out that the work offers a chance for original research work and thus, in addition to the fair salaries paid, give a novelty and chance for personal development that teaching does not offer a woman. The work requires at least two years study of bacteriology.
 There are about 20 women study. ing bacteriology in the University oi Kansas. Any woman taking up bac. teriology should have at least one term in chemistry.

FISHERMEN ARE RATED HEROES
 OF WAR
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, March 21. - The herring fishermen are counted high up among the war heroes by the housewives of Paris. Braving submarine menaces in the most dangerous zone, they have caught enough herring this season to drive the smoked variety down from three and one-half cents to two cents a pound; it enjoys the distinction Of being the only provision that has gone back to normal prices.
 The mysterious migration of the herring brings it in immense shoals from the North Sea into the English channel, and along the coast of Nor mandy at the beginning of October of each year, to disappear in February somewhere of fthe mouth of the Seine In the meantime their feeding ground is the same as that of the German submarine.
 Precautions were taken to protect the fishing fleet this year and it's work was unhindered and prolific Only once, at the beginning of the season, did a submarine emerge in the midst of the fleet. It found it prudent to plunge again without at tacking.
 The fleet was ordered to keep out of the North sea this year, which shortened the season three months out of total of seven, yet the catch is estimated at 30,000 tons as against 45,000 tons in normal year.

WRESTLING HAS THE CALL IN
 CALIFORNIA
(By Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, March 21. - While wrestling is still in bad odor in the Pacific Northwest, California has taken the sport back into it's good graces, and the diversion has gone long way toward filling the breach made by legislating profes- sional boxing out of existence.
 Bouts with a time limit, and with a decision in the event no falls have brought crowds ranging from five to twelve thousand spectators in San Francisco. Los Angeles is also stag ing many matches among the matmen The interest thus aroused in the state already has resulted in bringing to the coast eastern wrestlers of note.

Speculation In Stocks No More Gambling Than Other Business Ventures
By HENRY CLEvS, Pinsncier
UNHESITATINGLY register

ONllEcll A llNub1 reBlSteI
 my conviction that speculation
 in stocks as conducted in the New York Stock Exchange is no more gambling than speculation in real estate or merchandise. When the merchant buys goods he makes a venture the success or failure of which only the future can deter mine. The most legitimate business is that of the farmer, but even farming is speculation. A CHILL ING FROST OR AN INSECT PEST CAN DESTROY IN A DAY THE WORK OF MONTHS.
 Speculation is a science. There is great difference between the speculator and the gambler. Specu- lation requires judgment and knowl- edge, based on the complex rela- tions which enter into values. The matter of supply and demand, the weather, politics, a thousand and one things, have to be considered by the speculator.

Officials at fish hatcheries in sev- eral of the mountain states recently have announced that they would place a million or more fish fry from each of several hatcheries in the streams of the region as soon as the spring weather caused the annual freshen- ing.

Agents of the state bug house spent weeks up in the mountains this year gathering the lit- tie red ladies with the speckled backs, who are considered particularly effective against the gentlemen bugs who attack the growing cantoloupe.

BERLIN.

Washington.--Amb bassador willard
al Madrid reported TO the state de-
partment that he had received a dis
patch from Ambassador Gerard him
self or from American Minister Sto-
vail at Berne. The state department
interpreted Mr. Wizards dispatch as
indicating that Mr. Gerard had left
Berlin and travelled as far as the
Swiss capital
Minister Ritter of Switzerland was
instructed by his government 10 take
over German diplomatic interests in
the United States. including the Ger.
man embassy here and y consulates
throughout the country.
The minister informed the state de
partment OF his governments action
In a note
Swiss legation officials will move
into the German embassy building
when Count Won Bernstorff and his
staff depart.
Instructions have been sent to Swiss
consuls to take over the German con-
sulates in the following cities: At.
: lanta, Chicago, Cincinnati, Denver,
New Orleans, New York. Philadelphia.
Paul and Manila
Special arrangements are being
made by the Swiss minister for the
departure from Manila Of the German
consul there Because of conditions
at sea, it is understood that the con-
sui may be unable to return to Ger
many. Just where he will go is uncer
tain. II is unlikely that he will be
permitted to remain in the Philippine
Islands.
In line with its policy Of doing moth
ing to force further strained relations
with Germany, it was officially reiter
ated that the administration is taking
the greatest care to see that no righl
Of any foreign government or foreign
property is violated II was added
that the government has nowhere
seized German ships or claimed titl'
of any sort TO them.
II was authoritatively declared OF
behalf of the administration that til;
only action taken has been to place
vessels and their crews under sucl
guard and protection as to preven
anything being done which would oh

violate the laws 10 which they woulC
in any case be subject
