WoMENs SHOES IN WAR TIME.

Low as the heels and shoe tops and
subdued as to colors will be the shoes
of 1918, declare dealers, the changes
being necessary accompaniment of
war conditions.
1.-THE longer the war keeps on the
scarcer leather will be-" it is declar-
ed. "The government is DESTROYS of
saving leather, and for this reason
doesn't want shoes too high this year.
Under the federal ruling shoes
can't be made higher than nine inch
es. No factory can violate that order
and get away with it.
In the same way the factories are
restricted by the government as to
what colors they may use. Two
grays, two browns, black and white
are all that are allowed. AS is fitting
in war time conservative styles are
to. be the rule, say dealers.
High shoes have been popular for
womens wear in the summer for
several years past. This will not be
true this year, dealers declare. They
predict the biggest kind of season
for low shoes and pumps.
The popularity of Sensible" styles
brings out the fact that at least 40
per cent of women now wear low
heels.

The state stores of grain il was said, would last only until Au gust ,. The country needs 61.000 tons of grain to get along until the new harvest.
 The full terms of the agreement have not been made public. but the American government in return fol the ships will give liberal treatment to Sweden in supplying food rations raw materials. and manufac actured pro ducts, including so-called lesses es sentials.

|. s. HOSPITALS
 ARE BOMBED BY
 GERMAN A|RMEN
But Teuton Missiles Fall Wide of Mark and Few
 Casualties Result.

With the American Army in France Thursday. May 30-German airmen made pretentious raid on the area behind the American lines in Picardy last night. Bombs were dropped on all sides of one of the largest hospitals lin town many miles to the rear of the front. Am erican and French wounded soldiers were carried to cellars and caves by American nurses and members of the American Red Cross.
 Only few persons were injured ,by flying glass. as most of the win dows in the hospital had been shat tered by bombs dropped the previous night. Several private houses were wrecked and number of civilians. including several babies, were kill ed and injured.
 That the raid was planned on much larger scale than recent ones over this territory is evidenced from reports made by many. Americans in villages over which the raiders pass ed. The Germans came in wave for nation and then scattered widely. One squadron dropped bombs few hundred feet from an American field hospital. and at the same time one of the long range guns shelled village a few hundred yards away.
 The first alarm was sounded at II o'clock. The dropping of bombs and the firing of many anti-aircraft guns began almost immediately Later there was brief pause, after which the raiders returned to remaln ,un- til almost dawn.
 New Hospital Attacked
 A new American evacuation hos pital had been opened only yesterday in a certain village. A bomb fell in front of it last night and shattered windows, but none of the patients was injured In some instances the bombs fell within 30 and 40 feet Of hospital building. but fortunately there. were no direct hits

Sweden ana Holland having been supplying Germany, and Russia be- ing shut off from the world markets. J. 4. Ruddick, a Canadian authority, said: "If we made 10,0G0,000 pounds of butter it would be more to ex- port" The demand has caused cheese exports from Canada to in crease greatly. From May to 0 tober, 1914. l01 100000 pounds wen. out of the country; in the same period of 1916, 139,000,000 pounds. an increase of 38,o00,000 pounds.
 The demand for cheese for the sol ders nas caused the per capita con sumption to mount from 21s pound for Canada to 1872 pounds ft Britain. Cheese suddenly has growi important as food. This is in pr
 because it is one of the cheapp foods on the market. A vast amou:; is now being manufactured in t United States. In Canada it is pu.- ting millions of extra dollars into the

 Five American nurses were in the same hospital. They were Miss Ma talie Scott of New Orleans, Miss 'Hel- en Spalding of Brooklyn, Miss Mary McCandliss of Atlanta, Miss Blanche Gilbert of Cleveland, and Miss Con- stance Cook of San Francisco. While the raid was in grogess they went about cheering the patients.
 Although many serious cases of sick and wounded were aggravated because they had to be moved, the nurses had to carry them to the low CT floors and the cellar.

In Burlington county, New Jersey, the farmers who. In the erroneous be- Ref that they are pest, have been killing blacksnakeS, are being urged to conserve them as enemies of the rat tiers, which have been unpleasantly numerous this year. The damage done by the nonpoisonons reptiles is now recognized to be of slight account in comparison with the good they do. Not only will the blacksnake fight and best the rattler, but he earns more than his keep by keeping down other pests. It has taken man long time to identify his friends of the lower orders, and even today many persecuted animals do not receive the credit that is due to them.

NIUE calculation may serve to give a

should be placed end to end in rows Of

placed side by side to cover an area large
enough to be visible to the human eve
these 800 rows would contain 80. 900 in

On the other hand it is believed tba,

oehef is based upon the fact that tho
