ARMS FOR HARMLESS.

An invention enabling armless men to wash, shave and feed them selves and to perform other remark able feats such as typewriting, ha' just been demonstrated at the min istry of pensions in London.
 The appliance, which can be fixed to any table, is worked by the feet. A knob is held between the toes and this is attached to levers con nected with two arms which are sus- pended over the table. These arms can be moved about and made to pick up all sorts of articles.
 The inventor, a Scotch gasfitter, in demonstrating his device washed his face with the substitute hands. He drank from cup, used knife and fork readily in cutting up food, and fed himself, put a cigarette in his mouth. opened an ordinary match box, extracted the match and lighted the cigarette.
 He turned over the pages of a ledger and made entries in it, drew design on paper with a pencil and cut the drawing out with a pair of scissors. He demonstrated that ne could do typewriting, and worked g substitute for sewing machine Another appliance was shown fol writing with fountain pen. The country is showing great interest 1T this invention in view of the possi bilities it offers to the many armies: soldiers to engage in numerous oc equations.

HALL IS READY
 FOR LEAP YEAR
 DANCE TONIGHT

Unique decorations, specially arranged musical program, and the introduction of novelties entirely new to Nenana will combine to make the Leap Year dance, sched- uled to take place tonight at Union hall, one of the most enjoyable af- fairs ever held here, and it is put ting it mildly to state that the dancing public of Nenana is looking forward to the event with eager an- Iticiration. Practically every lady in the community has signified her intention of being there, and some iof them, it IS said, have as many as half dozen men invited.
 That is privilege the ladies have of inviting as many men as they choose. And should any of the men be overlooked, the committee ex- tends them a special invitation and will see that they enjoy themselves. 1 The fun will start promptly at II o'clock, by which time the music will be on hand and everything else ! in readiness. And in this connec- tion, the committee has asked The News to remind the ladies of the importance of being there on time. Late corners are liable to miss some thing. The ladies are also reminded to write their names on slip of paper, tie the slip in the corner of a handkerchief, and hand the hand kerchief in at the door. There will be box there for that purpose.
 The committee also announces that there will be three prizes for ~suen. 1wSara rate ann RAvara rRa>>

WARTIME FEET.
Pedal Extremities of Marines Are a
Size Larger Since 1917.

1t is a now well known fact that
the world over that the marines Gland
ed with both feet in the late war,
but the effect of this on the marine
corps pedal extremities has raised a
new problem to harass the worried
quartermasters in charge of the United
States marine corps supply depot in
Philadelphia, where shoes are furnished
to the men of the famous corps.
Officers in charge of supply work
there report that the average marine
corps shoe is now a whole size larger
than before the world war.
Some shifty foot work was shown
by the marines. when they We're en-
gagged in chasing the Hun off the map
Of France. and those who returned
were the innocent cause of much men
tai 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 metaled roads of
our sister republic was bound to in
crease the size of that part of his an
atomy which is folded over on the
ground. The quartermasters blame the
hikes for the growth of marine corps
feet. They also point to the many en-
listments in the corps of former in
fantrymen, who went through the same
hiking experience, as another reason
why more leather is necessary for thu
manufacture of shoes.
