SIGNATURES

The signature is something a man
writes at the end Of his letters so no
body will know who they re from.
Some business men who are really in
terested in knowing who writes to'them
employ signature ferrets. That is,
bright young men who take the wild
signature and chase it to it's lair, lash
it into a fury and force it to divulge
it's identity.
Then there are other methods. Some
times the ferret is able to anil a signe-
ture s owner by comparing itw it'll the
printed list of directors, Or managers
or something like that printed at the
top Of the letterhead. But this is not
often possible.
Some folks have signatures and 9th
ers- write thier names.

In considering the great army of the

No question about it, there are too
many idle buttons in the world.
Thousand, yes, millions of them loaf
around on clothes, with nothing to do
They congregate in long, silent rows on
men s coatsleeves They swarm on wo-
men s gowns, running aimlessly up
and down seams and around collars,
without a button hole to their name.
The worst about. buttons is that they
are never where they belong. No soon

in useful occupation on trousers, shirts

NEW YORK, April 13-Once again i

stood in spite of everything. In the
long list Of scrappers who have bruised
themselves for the amusement of the
public there is just one whose record
stands to belle the statement.
Joe Rivers came to New York a
short time ago and announced that a
new Joe was going to show that he
could come back and fight as of old.
He was going to emulate Stanley Ket-
chel, who was dropped once and lived
to see the day when he recovered his
lost laurels the same way.
Time was when Joe Rivers was the
par excellence Of boxing. He was a
marvel at placing his hands. And he
could hit. His brown fists carried more
weight, perhaps than any lightweight
ever possessed. One blow from his
right hand was sufficient to fall the
mightiest Of scrappers. AID Wolgast
can tell you. It will be a long time
before AID forgets the battle in which
he, as we'll as Rivers, fell to the floor
uncOnciOus
Rivers met Jimmy Duffy in New
York. He boxed in the early rounds
with all the old mastery that he once
possessed, but it was noticed that when
his blows landed they failed to carry
the sting Of former days.
1t was the dissipation Of former
years telling. Rivers never will be the
man of old. His chance to lead the
ightweights has passed. The greatest
fighter the country has seen in many
years has lost his chance.

ed by the shoe famine which now pre-
walls in European countries due to the
fact that the requirements of the al
lied armies are SO great" said an Off
cial of one OF the large rubber COM
panies Of Akron yesterday.
This statement was brought forth by
the publication of an announcement
from Rome, Italy, made by John F..
Stucks, vice president of the American
Chamber of Commerce and general
manager of the American Shoe Ia
chinery company, in Italy, when he
said, "A bare footed Europe is not i'm
probable II the war continues. At the
present time a pair of heavy mountain
shoes will last soldier about six
weeks and the soles and heels Of these
shoes are even studded with hobnails
to secure this service"
One of the officials Of the B. T..
Goodrich company, in commenting
further upon this article, said, "If this
government should adopt rubber foot
wear for its army and navy, thereby
as compa red with the leather shoe,
longer service and greater comfort to
the men would be assured at no greater
cost than leather equipment"
IMMENSE PRODUCTION.
Continuing, he said, There are few
American people who have come to
realize the immense production posi-
bilities of the modern rubber boot and
shoe factories. In this one Goodrich
plant alone we manufacture upwards
of 10000 pairs per day or enough to
equip complete army corps every
working day. You may call it fore

Overland product, President Spellman
says:
I'VE had many flatterng offers from
various companies 20 purchase their
cars, but we finally picked the cars
manufactured by the lys-Overland
company as best for our purpose be-
cause Of the unusual record this type
of motor has established throughout

praise of the 5-day-in- the year
service which their WHY'S Knights
were rendering.
The motor that can stand the gaff
under the strenuous demand made on
it by taxi service is the type of mo-
tor that will serve us best in our
travels across the country in all kinds
of weather and over all sorts Of
roads, as we will have little time to
waste to have carbon cleaned out Of
an engine, or to have valves re-ground
or other adjustments made. Because
of it's construction need for this is
entirely eliminated from the WHY'S

like, but at the very beginning of this
war, more than two and a half years
ago, we began to build an organiza-
ton, to enlarge our factories for
greater productions and, in fact, add
serve the greatest demands the gov
eminent could make upon us and still
not affect our regular trade channels
In fact, our offer Of the entire Good
rich resources to the government some
weeks ago was made with this very
thought in mind and while we have not
yet been called upon, we desire to re-
affirm this offer at this time ana
stand ready and willing to cope with
almost any situation that may con-
front us. This, we believe, Is what
constitutes a real service to our gov
eminent. for we are now capable Of
equipping the present army of the
United States with rubber shoes or
boots within five ordinary working
days and still not neglect any of our
established trSde."
''It is unfair to the leather shoe to
draw a comparison between it and the
one made of rubber, for rubber foot
wear has been proven to outwear even
the ob-nailed soles and heels of the
leather shoe. 1t is impossible that
what might be called war emery
ency' will bring the American people
to full and complete realization of
the wearing qualities of rubber. Their
motor cars are equipped with rubber
tires, not leather. Why, then, should
rubber footwear not become practical?
An answer to this will be found when
the extreme shortage of leather built
shoes will demand that those made of
rubber be adopted"

 STRONG PRO-GERMAN

Mexico City, Sept. 1s.-El Demo- crata, a newspaper published here makes the frank admission that it's news dispatches are selected with the express purpose of presenting the cause of the central powers in the most favorable light. In answering accusations that it was devoted to German propaganda, Fl Democrata asserts it is not pro-German but is pro- Mexican, adding:
 "We publish the kilograms which give the most favorable accounts of the deeds of the AustroGerman ar mics because there are in Mexico pa pers of great resources which are dedicated solely to the insertion of news favorable to the allies, and as our government has declared itself neutral it should be the duty of one daily of importance to give cogni- zance to that which rebounds to the credit of the central powers.
