SHOES IN SONG AND STORY
Humble Foot Coverings Have Figured
Largely in the Traditions Of
Various Nations.

Shoes have their tradition Of song
and story, writes Wainwright Evans
In Nationals Business. We all know
Cinderella, but few have heard of
Rhodope, the Egyptian maiden who
had the most beautiful foot to be
found along the Nile. One day when
she was at her bath discriminating
eagle flew down and carried Off her
sandal, which he dropped by way Of
a suggestion at the feet of the king.
OF course the king put his heralds
right on the job, took a hand In the
search himself, found his Cinderella,
and made her queen Of Egypt.
Our boys in France must have seen
the many shrines and memorials
around Scissors dedicated to St Girls
pin, patron saint Of shoemakers. The
story goes that st. Crispin and his
brother, Crispianuss were Romans,
who, about the year 303 were con-
verted to Christianity. Together they
went north into France, spreading the
gospel. They supported themselves
by making shoes, which they sold to
the natives at very low price. Pre-
sumably they undersold all COMPETE
tors. At any rate. possibly with the
encouragement and connivance of the
local chamber of commerce. they were
finally put out of the way by the I'M
grateful proletariat.

Fish That Explode.

To the Russian people Lake Baikal,
in eastern Siberia. Is holy lake, and
they believe both the lake and its sur
rounding country are endowed with
supernatural powers and inhabited by
unearthly beings. All kinds OF weird
tales mingle with their explanations
of any feature of the lake. Even so
simple an object as a great rock lying
in the middle OF a river just where it
flows from Lake Baikal takes on
mysterious Significance. II this stone
were TO slip from its place, they say,
the whole Of Lake Baikal would pour
out of its basin and food the river
and probably the continent. But there
are actually many strange things
about Lake Baikal. There is, for ex-
ample. a species of FISH that inhabits
the deepest part. These fish have been
seen by few persons, for as soon as
they are lifted out of their accustomed
atmosphere of high pressure they ex-

Bean Growing in Early Times.

Theophrastus, writing 300 years be-
fore the Christian era, says that in
Macedonia ind Thessaly, beans were
grown TO be powed into the soil at
towering time. varro about so years
B. c. says: ''Some things should be
sown with view not SO much to pre-
sent profit as to next years crops, be
cause when cut down and left they i'm
prove the soil. Thus lupins before
they produce many pods, and some
times beanstalks. If the podding stage
be not so far advanced that 1t is
profitable to pull the beans, are usual
ly plowed into poor land" IneFlan-
ders, which has always been a model
to the rest of Europe In husbandry,
this method has always been a great
feature. This we learn from the lee
ture read by DR.. e. J. Russell, M. A.,
f. r. s., G. B. E., at the Royal Horti-
cultural society-who recommends
these methods and regards il as one
of the most efficient ways Of making
soil. Such is our obligation to Theo-

ANSWER IN SUIT
]. Of v. i. COMPANY
Cabinet Members Give the
Court Governments View
of Cable Controversy.

Admitting interference with lay
ing by the Western Union Telegraph
Companl of any cable to connect
with the Barbados cable OF the
Western Telegraph Company, a sup
posed British monopoly, and declar-
ing that they acted under direct
orders of President Wilson, Score.
tary of State Colby. Secretary OF
War Baker and Secretary OF Navy
Daniels, yesterday filed in the District
Supreme Court answers to the rules
issued against them in the second
suit instituted by the Western Union
Telegraph Company.
Instead of the telegraph company
claimed. unless the requested injunc-
ton is granted. the three cabinet
officers say that an injunction would
infiict injury on the government and
the people of the United States and
would hamper President Wilson in
the conduct of negotiations with
foreign countries.
Secretary CoIby's Explanation.
Secretary Colby maintains the right
of the chief executive to deny land
ing privilege on the shores of the
United States to any foreign-owned
cable unless equal right is given by
the foreign country for American
owned cables to land. Since the West
ern Telegraph Company has a monop-
oily, he states. on the east side of Bra
zil. to permit the Western Union to
make connections either at Miami
Beach. Fla. or through the three ca
bles between Key West. Fla, and
Cojimar. Cuba, would further the sup
posed monopoly and exclude American
companies from competition on the
eastern shore of South America.
The Secretary of State admits the
Interference and the purpose to DO
anything necessary to prevent the
connection with the Barbados cable
or the continuance Of any cable con-
nected with it.
Admit Steps Taken.
Secretary Baker and Secretary DAN
iels also admit the steps taken by
them to prevent the connection with
the British cable and justify their ac-
tons under an order of President
Wilson requiring cooperation be-
tween the State, War, Navy and Jue~
trce departments of the government
to prohibit the landing of the foreign
cable on American shores
Hearing on the rules and answers
Is scheduled for January before
Justice Stafford.
