KEPT SHOES AS ORNAMENTS
American Footgear Considered by Un-
fortunate Serbian Woman as Alto
pether Too Beautiful to Wear.

Anything that will keep the feet
from the ground is considered shoe
in Serbia.
In the remote rural districts of the
country 1t is said that many Of the
people live and die without owning n
pair of shoes. In the bitterest weather
they travel through mud and snow
without adequate foot covering. They
consider themselves fortunate II they
can secure old gunny sacks or heavy
cloth, which they tie about their feet
with Irvine In winter.
The first Amerlcan-made shoes that
were distributed by the American Red
Cross created tremendous stir
among the people Of the distant VII
lagos. One old woman who had never
owned pair before took the shoes
that had been given to her to her home
and put them on shelf above the fire
place. She was MS pleased ms n child
to own them, but nothing could induce
her to wear them. She said that she
intended to save them for fctes, or
perhaps for her burial. They were
much too beautiful to be worm" she

Gems Romantic History.

Truly romantic Is the story Of the
Braganza diamond, n stone Of 1850
carats, and "as large MS gOose's egg"
which, for more than n century, has
been the proudest possession Of the
Portuguese crown. This amazing stone
which Mr.. Streeter, the great author
ity on gems, has valued at f58,000,00O,
was picked up by three Brazilian out
laws in the half-drled bed Of the
Abalte river, in the province of Mlnas
Geraes
The outlaws took the stone to the
nearest village priest, who obtained
access for them to the governor into
whose possession II was given. The
diamond the largest and finest hlther-
to found, was dispatched to Lisbon,
with the result that the three outlaws
received the royal pardon and II rich
reward, while the padre to whose
friendly Offices they owed their good
fortune was given high preferment in
the church.

kind and the Mosquito.

When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle sent
his famous character, Sherlock
Holmes, to his supposed death down
the abyss Of a roaring waterfall, one
Of his friends protested. "Well," said
the author, 1--WE either got to kill
Sherlock Holmes or Sherlock Holmes
will kill me-" Pretty much the same
situation exists In certain sections of
the United States between man and
the mosquito. II man does not kill
the mosquito, the mosquito will do his
cussedest toward killing man and, II
he doesn't quite succeed will make
him mighty sick. The United States
Department Of Agriculture Is on the
side Of man In the contest and Is pre-
pairing for big drive against the ma.
larla mosquitoes In Louisiana. The de-
tails are not completed, but the cam
paign will begin soon and will be- per-
haps, the most intensive one yet put
on. Some OF the workers are already
on the ground. Others who have been
engaged in "cootie" work for the army
and still others who have been actually
with the army will be sent to Louis
lana within the next few weeks.

Flower Gardens Of Holland.

1t was only after the fall Of Con-
stnntlnople In 1853 that Holland be-
came such n gay land Of flowers as It
now Is. Many Dutchmen went to the
East during the years Of the grent
crusades, and those Of them who loved
beautiful things brought seeds with
them. When these were planted In
the rich soil Of Holland such wondrous
flowers appeared ms had never before
been seen In that country. The people
became wildly enthusiastic over the
new colors and scents and foliage
brought to them from the East, and
In Holland there sprang up great
love for gardening.
