Effect Of War Hiking.

Officers of the Marine Corps state
that the feet OF the lighting men OF
that famous organization have in
creased one full size as a result OF
their wonderful hiking" in the world
war. One officer declared:
Some shifty fobt work was shown
by the Marines when they were en-
gagged in chasing the Hun Of the map
Of France, and those who returned
were the innocent cause OF much
mental distress in supply circles.
THE hardest hiking in the history
of the corps was done in France
Any man who spent half of his time
for two years pounding the metsled
roads OF our sister republic was
bound to increase the size of that
part Of his anatomy which is folded
over on the ground. The quarter
masters blame the hikes for the
growth of Marine Corps feet. They
also point TO the many enlistments
in the corps Of former infantrymen,
who went through the same hiking
experience. as another reason why
more leather is necessary for the
manufacture OF shoes"

To come out of week or so Of

short rest before going back at the
Dutchmen, an to find waiting there
for you something that you had for
gotten about, but which brought up
memories of home, would make you

glorious feeling.
Anyhow, that's what happened to
G, l.. Whiteley of this city, accord.
ing to letter just received from
him by w. W. Yale, superintendent
OF the Chickasha Milling company.
Here's the story
Whitcley was employed by the
Cnickasha mill until he went to war
His job was to pack flour. One day,
feeling for the moment bit ro-
mantle, he wrote his name and ad-
dress, likewise the date, which was
May 2, 1917 on slip of paper, and
which he inserted in a sack of flour
Possibly he hoped that some good
looking cook would open that sack
and-well you know how those
things work out in the movies.
Very we'll A cook opened the sack
of flour all right, but it might be
stretching the blanket to say that
said cook was prize winner at a
beauty contest. The cook was the
chef of a field kitchen in the Ar
gonne He picked the SCRAP OF pa
per out, scrutinized it Ind said;
"What the. Say, send for White
ley"
Whiteley came and the scrap Of
paper that he had put in the sack Of
flour at Chickasha was handed back
to him in the Argonne, while the
Boche shells screamed overhead and
the machine guns plat a rat-ta-tat
tat for an accompaniment.

SHOE CONSERVATION

", H. Kelley, a lumber salesman, of
Omaha, found Ne0lin Soles SO tough
and durable that one pair of soles
served on a second pair of uppers
after the first pair of uppers had worn
out in ten months of hard walking.
And he says, Those same soles will
stand another ten months of constant
daily wear"
This is unusual service even for
Neoin Soles but Mr. Kelley's expert
ence should indicate to you method
of cutting down those rising shoe bills
you have to meet. Simply make sure
the new shoes you buy are Ne0lin-
soled and have worn shoes repaired

made to be comfortable, waterproof
and exceedingly long-wearing. They

preted as marking the dissatisfaction
Of large section of the house with
the indcfniteness of Finance Minister
Klotz's statement
The report was current late last
night that M. Klotz, in consequence
of what he felt amounted to a vote
of censure, intended to resign. This
report, however, appears to be un-
founded, for it is pointed out in polit-
cal circles that the Finance Minister
was embarrassed by the fact that he
was acting in the double capacity of
Cabinet Minister and peace conference
delegate, and consequently felt him elf
obliged to confine himself to generali-
ties on many points regarding which
the Chamber desired specific informa-
ton, such points being still under CON
sideration by the peace conference.

Truck Helper Accused
OF $4,000 Jewel Theft
Gems Missed Following Deliv-
cry of Purchases at
Residence

A furniture stores motor truck de-
livered several purchases yesterday
afternoon to Mrs. Berenice Manix, at
2O3 West Ninety-eighth Street. When
the driver and his two helpers had
departed Mrs. Manix discovered that
jewelry valued at $1,000 was missing,
She notified the police of the West
lOOth Street station. Detectives Null
len and Foley learned from the store
the addresses where the motor truck
was to deliver furniture. Then thew
got an automobile and set out to fol
low the route.
They overhauled the truck at 1s4th
Street and Broadway. At the point of
revolvers its three occupants were
backed into the hallway Of an apart
ment house whose tenants were tenn
porarily scandalized by the daring
hold-up."
One Of the helpers, John P. Ma
honey, of 452 West Thirty sixth Street
threw something into the snow, it is
SAID, when the search began. How
ever, the detectives reported finding
in his pockets diamond ring worth
$500, platinum watch set with dia.
monds, worth $3.50, and $500 pear
necklace. Then they turned the head
lights of their car on the snow where
they thought something had been
thrown and found $3.50 diamond
ring.
Mahoney was charged with grand
larceny. Mrs. Manix identified the
jewelry and said it all had been re-
covered
