LONG WEAR
AND ECONOMY

Last year / purchased a standard
make of shoes, and in sixty days the
soles were worn through. / had them
re-soled with Neolin Soles-which
lasted me six months in the same
service that wore out the other soles
in two." writes E. A. lancaster of
Lancaster G, Company, jewelers.,
Greeneville, Tenn.
Mr.. Lancaster's experience with
Ne0lin SOles is not unusual. Millions
of people can testify to their long wear
and economy. To reduce your shoe
expense, buy Neolin-soled shoes. You
can get them in many styles for every
member Of the family.

WISER BESTED

Palmer School Student Shows
Little Class Against Marvin
Plestina OF Chicago.

Pete Wiser, the much touted
heavyweight wrestler of Daven-
port, proved easy meat for Marvin
Plestina of Chicago, Jugo-Slav mat
artist Of prominence, in two
straight falls of finish bout at the
Burtis opera house last evening. \
capacity house witnessed the con-
test.
PIestina won the first fall with an
arm scissors and arm lock after As
minutes and u seconds of tussling,
throughout which he proved the ag-
gressor. An arm lock and half
nelson pinned Visser's shoulders to
the mat for the second and last fall
in the snappy time of 8 minutes
and 4 seconds.
The bout last night would indi-
cate the truth of the assertions OF
Plestina's manager and Farmer
Burns, one-time world champion,
that the big Slav ranks with the
best in the mat game. 1t is claimed
by PIestina's hackers that Stecher,
Lewis and ZybyszkO, the big
three combination in theetaoe
wrestling game, have persistently
refused to meet Marvin, regardless
of consideration or guarantee.
Two fast preliminaries preceded
the main event last evening. In
the opener William Stengel of the
Davenport Y. NJ. c. A. quit after 20
minutes and As seconds Of
wrestling against Walter Strand.
Both are lightweights and possess
an abundance of speed and clever
ness. Harry Brondell disposed Of
Beckie Beckerdite by pinning his
shoulders to the mat in IA minutes
and 10 seconds.
Johnson of the Davenport "Y"

THE PRESENT CRIME WAVE

Highway robberies, not only on the
outskirts of Washington, but often
within the city limits and IN some
cases in broad day light, are on the
increase. They are becoming daily
occurrences, and are naturally caus-
ing apprehension to many Alexan-
drians and other nearby residents
who for business or pleasure visit
the nations capital.
Residents of portions u Maryland
bordering on the District of Column
bia are equally anxious, as in some
cases they have been victims of hold
ups.
1t seems that there is no let up IN
the wave of crime that has been
sweeping over the District OF Co
lumbia for six months or more. 1t
seems to be extending to localities
beyond the Washington city limits.
Highwaymen travelling in automo-
biles are the latest form of robbery.
They waylay and hold up people

jobs have also been pulled off or
