conveys which it was realized would
soon lie headed for France.
A site was accordingly chosen on tho
French caasl. where it was most likely
that one OF the American naval bases
would be established, and from where
10 would be able 10 pick up with the
greatest degree of certainty distress
messages from any American boat that
might encounter a submarine.
The metallic pylons OF the French sta
lion are over COO feet high. Perfected
electrical equipment makes 10 possible
TO send out waves that will ho received
at any distance at which they can be
picked up IN the form OF musical
sounds instead Of the ordinary crack
crack Of the wireless. As result OF
these musical intonalions the receiver
is always able 20 pick out the waves
OF the French wireless plant from all
the other storm or wireless waves with
which the air may be filled.
Waves can be sent out with a length
OF from 5000 TO 1900 yards and which,
as has already been demonstrated, carry
as far as Australia.
The electrical apparatus furnishing
the current for these waves is capable
Of producing COO horse power.
What the French navy is particularly
proud Of, however Is that 10 finished

An Investigation will probably be or
dered by military authorities into the

Hospital authorities say his death was

that Tiffany was not a hard drinker

him by friends was undoubtedly the
cause Of his illness.

ART OF WALKING revived
That More People Take Beneficial Ex-
ercise Is an Indirect Result
of Great War.

The human race was forgetting the
art of walking. Vanity had had some
thing to do with it--and the shoemak-
ers, who catered to vanity. For the
truth was, people were paying more
attention to the style of the shoe than
to the comfort Of the foot. Then came
the war.
Whatever else they are called upon
to do, soldiers have to walk. In walk
ing, one must have shoes that fit
shoes that do not cramp the foot, shoes
with fiat soIes and low heels. SO the
armies of the world provided their sol
diers with shoes in which they could
walk-and the soldiers found the walk
ing easy.
Seeing these millions Of soldiers
with good feet, properly shod and find
ing that they could walk for long dis
tances without firing, the rest of the
world gradually came to adopt sensi-
BILE shoes. In the fulness of time all
of us may learn to walk and when
we do we shall find that we had for
many years overlooked the most de-
lightful process of Iocomotion that has
as yet been invented.
Walking is the best exercise that
has been devised, because it is the
most natural. Man is walking AMI
NAL; the process of walking involves
| every nerve and muscle Of the body
and insures health. Men and women
who walk do not suffer from any kind
of disease. But the first principle OF
walking is a proper shoe for the foot.
