Two out of every 1000 men in the
army have to have their shoes made to
order. In several camps entire regi-
mcnts have had their feet measured
and hundreds of drawings were made Of
odd shapes and sizes. At the present
time the army uses between 1000, 900
and 3, 900. 900 pairs Of shoes a month
Facts brought out in tests seem to
prove that men in the present army
are larger than those serving in pre-
vious wars. Not only is this shown by
the larger sizes Of shoes called for, but
by the larger sizes of outer clothing
that is being required. Records in the
Quartermaster's Corps show that lar
ger size, on the average. is being de-
manded in blouses, shirts and breeches
than have ever before been used.

A FaTryIand Mlne.

To the mineralogist the Copper Queen mine of Bisbee, Ariz., has been for many years kind of fairyland. yielding rare treasure in copper and lime minerals, of much variety and marvellous beauty of capitalization and coloring, A recently opened cavern or grotto, filled with stalactites and stalagmites of delicate green and blue hnts, was brought to the notice of Dr.. B. O. Hovey before destruction by the miners, and this made possible the transfer of the section of the forma- ton that Is now set up among the wonders of the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The grotto thus preserved, in a space 14 feet high and 10 fleet square, is lined with some 50 boxes of carefully col. lected and restored cave material. the outside being roughly built up of llme- stone blocks. One stalagmite of the mine cave had been deposited to a height of nearly IA feet by water drip. ping for an estimated period of 25,OOo years.

TAKES LITTLE TIME
 TO GET IN TROUBLE

John Beavins drove to Pine Bluff from Little Rock yesterday forenoon, purchased auto supplies from the Ri ley Auto-Tire company, gave draft on a Little Rock firm in payment, and departed. Shortly afterward Joe Burns complained an inner tube had disappeared from his car, and is was concluded it had gone with Beavins. Hearing of this, Roy Kemp, manager of the Riley Auto-Tire company, be- came suspicious, and phoned the Lit tie Rock firm on which Beavins had drawn for S10. They said he was not connected with them and had no au thority to make a draft on them. MT. Kemp notified Sheriff R. H. Williams, and Beavins was arrested in Little Rock yesterday afternoon on charges of petit larceny and false pretense. He furnished bond for his appearance for trial in the municipal court here. He said another person must have put the tube in his car, and that he intend ed to arrange for the payment of the draft for $10.

 Are you going to save sugar or are you going to waste it?
 Are you going to use the smallest amount of sugar possible. or are you going to continue to use sugar as you did in the days before the war
 Saving sugar here means sugar over there. and ships to carry 1t, from here to there.
 You probably have heard that there is no shortage of sugar, and that the raw sugar output is as big, as if not bigger than ever, and some- one has told you that there is no reed of saving sugar This is the most insidious sort of German propaganda because it is partly true and partly false.
 The shortage in sugar in this coun[ry Is not due to any shortage in sugar crop, but to a shortage of ships.
 Seventy five per cent. of the sugar
