Quite Possible, Though 1t Must Be Ad-
mitted They Are Not Altogether
Desirable Footwear.

When things come to the worst
every day is goins to be like Friday
the atmosphere will be crowded with
the aroma of fish. There is a scarcity of
leather, as everybody knows, and, that
being so, tanners are making a dill
gent search fer other substitutes, and
new sources Of supply. Experts de-
clare that the skins of aquatic crea-
lures offer a practically undeveloped
resource. and it is not unlikely that be-
fore long we shall be covering our ex-
tremities with the skins of the man.
eating shark and the sacred Goldfish.
The reason such skins have not here
tofore been utilized for leather is not
because they are not perfectly well
adapted for such use, but only because
the skins of land animals have been
so plentiful. Disciples of Izaak Wal
ton dispute the experts about the cur
ing of fishskins. They say once a fish
always a fish. If it comes to pass that
we adopt fish-skin shoes these fish
ermen offer some advice to the cs8ov
youth who goes courting. Leave your
fish-skin shoes on the front porch, like
the Hollanders and Japs, and court in
your stocking feet. Otherwise there
will be a chilly reception awaiting
you" Being married, they are talking
by the book.

FIsH-sNN SHOES COMING? MANY USES FOR sANDBAe
Soldiers Employ 1t in Number Of
Ways Besides What 1t Is Off
ciaIIy Intended For.

The sandbag is one of the most use
full pieces of military equipment found
anywhere and the soldier puts it to
manifold uses. Their official use, of
course, is to be filled with sand or clay
and built into ramparts, barricades
and trenches. Their unofficial uses are
legion.
The infantryman always uses sand
bag for carrying and storing his ra-
tiOns, for patching and reinforcing
his clothing, for lining and curtaining
his dugout, for muff1ing mallets and
stakes when putting up wire in No
Mans Land. They make excellent gai-
ters, being tied on over the puttees as
further protection against mud and
damp. They make cozy muff1ers in
bad weather. They are used to cover
shrapnel helmets to prevent reflection,
and they are frequently in demand for
rife covers.
Many soldiers always pull two sand
bags over their feet and legs when 60
the sandbag is Tommy's pajamas. The
warmth and comfort Of burlap sand
bag when pulled over chilled feet is
| astonishing.
The postman's mailbag at the front
; is nothing more than an empty sand
bag, and the water carriers also use
two sandbags, slung back and front
over the shoulder, each containing q
petrol tin full of water.
"The war will be over" a soldier
wit once said, when all Of Belgium
and France has been put into sand
| bags"

When a,Prisoner Is Exchanged.

Ivan Rossiter, captured by the Ger
mans and later exchanged, says in the
Farm and Fireside: "Then I lay down,
not to sleep but to think. thought
of the day when enlisted in Canada,
of leaving home, the training camps,
the trip overseas to England, the
training in England, going across the
channel to Flanders, the terrific fight
ing at Ypres, Of the many friends who
fell on that bloody battlefield, how I
was wounded and captured, the inhu-
man treatment received at the hands
of the German surgeons, who had four
husky Germans hold me down while
they cut five bones out of my wrist
and amputated my middle finger at the
second joint when was wounded in
the palm of the hand, the kicks and
the cuffs from prison guards and the
terrible stuff the Germans called food
in the prison camps"

no attention to my condition. It was
merely a repetition Of what had gone
through many times before, but this
time had a definite goal and once 1
reached it I knew my troubles would
be over.
1t took me perhaps three hours to
reach firm ground. The path struck
led to within half mile of the village.
1 shall never forget that path; it was
almost as welcome to my feet as the
opposite bank OF the Meuse had
seemed.
The first habitation came to was a
little workshop with a bright light
shining outside. II must have been
after midnight, but the people inside
were apparently just quitting work.
There were three men and two boys
engaged in making wooden shoes.
1t wasn't necessary for me to ex
plain to them that 1 was a refugee
even if had been able to speak their
language. 1 was caked with mud uI
to my shoulders and suppose my face
must have recorded some of the ex
periences 1 had gone through thai
memorable night.

Apparently they didn't understand
| but one Of them volunteered to con
duct me to the village. They seemed
to be only too anxious to do all they
could for me; evidently they realized
was a British soldier.
1t was very late when my compan
ion finally escorted me into the vii
lage, but he aroused some people h,
knew from their beds and the!
dressed and came down to feed me.

JunnIe Can Furnish Food.

While the new food campaign was
being talked about at Seattle, Ran
dolph L. Summerfeld of Singapore,
who has lived forty years in the Malay
States, arrived on a government. mis-
sion. He is a civil engineer. "The
worlds livestock market has been dec
mated" said Mr.. Summerfield, ''but if
worst comes to worst and there's a
real meat famine, the jungles of the
Malay States can supply vast quanti-
ties of meats and fats. Our forests
are full of monkeys of all kinds. Our
streams TEEN with crocodiles. The
huge anaconda snake is numerous and
prolific. Monkey meat, cooked French
or Spanish style, billed on the menu
as veal would make an epicure yearn
for more. There's no disagreeable SEN
timent about killing a crocodile or the
boa constructor. Portions of the
| 'croco's' tail are extraordinarily good
and the boa constructor is a culinary
favorite in India. Fried in butter, OF
certain oils, the boa constructor is con
sidered a elicacy."-Argonaut.

CHAPTER xvl-continued.

From the kitchen you could walk
directly into the cow-barn, where two
cows were kept, and this, as l have
pointed out before, is the usual con-
struction Of the poorer Belgian houses.
I could not make out why the caller
seemed to be so antagonistic to me,
and yet am sure he was arguing with
the family against me. Perhaps the
fact that / wasn't wearing wooden
shoes-I doubt whether l could have
obtained a pair big enough for me
had convinced him that l was not
really a Belgian. because there was
nothing about me otherwise which
could have given him that idea.
At thar time, and suppose 1t Is
true today, about "a per cent Of the
people In Belgium were wearing
wooden shoes. Among the peasants l
don't believe 1 ever saw any other
kind of footwear and they are more
common there than they are In Hol-
land. The Dutch wear them more on
account of q lack of leather. / was
told that during the coming year prac-
tically all the peasants and poorer
people in Germany. too, will adopt
wooden shoes for farm work. as that
is ono direction in which wood can be
substituted for leather without much
loss.
When the young man left, left
shortly afterwards, as was not at
all comfortable about what his inten.
tions were regarding me. For all
knew he might have gone to notify
the German authorities that there was
a strange man in the vicinity-more
perhaps to protect his friends from
suspicion of having aided me than to
lnjure me.
At any rate, I was not going to take
any chances and 1 got out Of that
neighborhood as rapidly as 1 could.
That night found me right on the
frontier of Holland.

Experiences in Holland.

Experiences in Holland.
But l was not quite out of the
woods.
1 now knew that 1 was in Holland,
but just where had no idea. walked
for about thirty minutes and came to
a path leading to the right, and l had
proceeded along it but few hundred
yards when 1 saw in front of me a
fence exactly like the one I had
crossed.
"This is funny" I said to myself. 81
didn't know the Dutch had a fence,
too" advanced to the fence and
examined it closely, and judge Of my
astonishment when l saw beyond it a
nine-foot fence apparently holding
live wires exactly like the one which
had nearly been the death of me!

what 1t all meant, for just then
