Other features of the new styles,
that can be gathered from any repre-
sentative showing, reveal that high
shoes continue to be very high as com.
pared to high shoes Of q few seasons
ago. The fact that skirts have been
heightened a little has made no differ
ence The very high shoe is more trim
than the moderately high shoe and
more practical. The uppers in these
shoes are OF cloth Just as often as Of
kid. As fine kid is not the sort Of
leather that Is needed In the army
there Is no reason why the very high
shoe should not be worn with a clear
conscience. But cloth tops r just as
attractive and just rs desirable as the
kid and maybe a little easier to keep
clean.
Oxfords and slippers will divide
honors with high shoes for street and
sports wear this summer. In all Of
them toes are somewhat pointed but
not to the length Of discomfort. Con-
siderable decoration In perforations
appears on all styles Of shoes as may
be gathered from the group pictured
here which includes a high walking
shoe, oxfords and a dress slipper. The
high shoes are In black kid with COM

ARE ALMOST HUMAN
Monkeys In Their Native WIIds

Clever Manner In Which One Of Them
Got the Best Of Crocodile 10
Proof Of Their Possession
Of intelligence.

The nature and character OF the
monkey + not changed by any train
Ing that he may receive, All. the little
tricks that may be taught him in cap
tivity will add little to what he Is
accustomed to practice In his wild
state. The chief difference to him is
that he has a different set Of victims
to torment. Those who have had a
chance to watch the rascals In their
native wilds and native wIldness find
them up to the same mlschievous
pranks they play in captivity.
Every little while our expedition
passed under trees occupied by troops
Of monkeys. some Of them Of the large
kind that had given the explorers
much trouble IN a former occasion.
One large tree in which they had es-
tablished their quarters stretched Its
branches owe a stream twenty yards
or more.
While the leader Of the expedition
was watching the antics OF the mon
keys. two crocodlles showed their
heads just underneath and remained
stationary with their ugly shouts
sticking up in the air. In various
countries this Is a common dodge Of
the %crocodiles to entlce the monkeys
within their reach, and 1t was ex-
pected by the witnesses Of this incl
dent that one or more Of the noisy
animals would fall victims to the
g~oggle-eyed monsters below, and 1t
was with considerable curiosity that
the result was awaited.
As soon as the black-looking heads
popped up the monkeys became silent.
Presently one big fellow, evidently of
authority In the monkey republic,
came down to r%econnoiter. He re-
turned, and In a few minutes came
back with a long, thin stick In his
hand and accompanied by about q
hundred of his friends. They began
to chatter and to pelt their foes, but
the crocodlles took no notice. The
onlookers thought they seemed to give
a wink Of satisfaction at seeing their
silly victims coming within their
reach.
Nearer and nearer they came, until
some Of them were barely six feet
above the crocodlles, and the men
watching e expecting every instant
to see n Of them dragged under the
water. All OF q sudden the monkey
with the stick leaned over and drove
into the eye Of the crocodile nearest
him. The wounded reptile sank like
lead and was quickly followed by its
comrade.
There was no mistaking the howl Of
delight that greeted this stratagcm
and Its success. 1t was perfectly hui
man in Its tone and was taken UP In
vengeful glee by all the monkeys In
the neighborhood. The gravity OF de-
with which the old fellow
this assault was ~laughable
In the extreme. He went to work
with all the caution Of an old lawyer,
and when he had inflicted the poke he
hauled himself up with an alacrity
that showed he could form a very
good estimation of the danger that
he ran.

If you want to make money on hogs,
you must give them a proper place to
live In. The best profits are made
only when a dry, sanitary, comfortable
and convenient hog house is provided.

not need to be protected from the
weather. Having seen originally a ma

not provided a pig with much In the

.DR|VE-AWAY MOST SAT|SF FACTORY WAY
 ID DELIVER CARS
436 Cars Driven From the Cadillsc Factory During Early Spring-Freight
 Cars Released

If you can get them out. we will put them in" is the promise of the Cad lilac Motor Car company to its dealers, with reference to making shipments in tight-end gondola freight cars These are now available for motor car ship ment, with the coming of spring and the release of many cars of this type which carried coal all winter. Practically no automobile type freight cars are avail able.
 So far 92 tight-end gondola cars, ear- rying two automobiles each, have been sent forward from the Cadillac factory. A large number of drop-end gondolas. which are much more simple to load and unload have been used. For the loading of the tight-end cars, the company has devised special lifting cranes, and on the automobiles special attachments to which fall chains are attached. Cloth covers and tarpaulins protect the open top automobiles in shipment, and a sub stantial wood frame work is built around the enclosed types which are shipped in gondolas.
 The drive-away remains the most sim pie and satisfactory solution of the problem of getting automobiles from the factory to dealers territory. Distribu tors are organizing themselves efficient ly to handle drive-aways. Between Jan uary l and April 6, a total of 436 cars were driven away from the Cadillac fac- tory. Calculating two automobiles per freight carload, this plan diverted 2lS freight cars for shipment of other goods.

Alum Does Its Bit
 for Boys in France

One of the difficulties with which the American expeditionary force is having to contend, is the unreliable drinking water found in the wells of France. Reports of the medical offi- cers now with our army abroad show that large percentage of the wells in the fighting zone have become con taminated by disease germs and are thus unfit for use. But as the fighting man must have water constantly, the engineers and doctors have been en- deavcring to eliminate the present dan ger lurking in the water. Signs have been posted at wells that have been examined and found unsafe These signs warn the passing soldier not to drink the water.
 The boys In khaki are boiling almost all of the water used, but this boil ing, although a safeguard, gives the water a flat taste. The army engi- neers have been trying other methods to remove the bacteria. They have been applying filter methods as used in this country, to the water near the mo- bilization camps. Of course no elab- crate filter system can be used but the engineer corps has found that with the use of filter alum in the water and a rapid sand filter very satisfactory results can be obtained. The alum coagulates on the upper particles of Inc sand filter. bed and the bacteria become attached to this film of alum
 The water in its unpurified state is allowed to slowly trickle through the filter; and samples of the filtered wa ter show very large decrease in the bacteria content. The upper surface of the bed is changed at regular in- tervals and a new supply of filter alum is used. As result of this in expensive process. the American sol dier's health is being maintained in spite of the lurking dangers in the water and the filter alum is truly ''do- inr ifs bit' in the war
