SHOES TELL TALE
Criminals Tracks as Good as His
Calling Card.
Interesting Story Of How Hun Agent
Who Attempted to Blow Up NJ.
milton Plant Was Speedily
Brought to Justice.

During the late war, while labor trou.
cles, strikes and rioting were brought
about by enemy agents, which inter-
fered with the production of war ma.
terlal. daring attempt was made to de.
Stroy large munition plant. But the
bomb planted under pile of boxes in
the factory failed to explode, says the
Boston Globe.
The criminal forced entrance through
a window by the use Of a jimmy; his
tingerprints were found smeared all
over doorknObs and window stills: but
he had worn gloves and the prints were
useless as evidence.
Deep foot impressions pointing to
ward the factory were found on the
grounds surrounding the plant. These
were traced to the window where the
entrance had been forced.
The deep footprints indicated that
the one who made them had been
carrying heavy object, and as he had
taken long steps, it showed he was a
tall man. A chiropodist stationed at
nearby army camp was called into
the case and he made several casts of
the footprints leading to the factory.
The results of the casts showed that
the criminal had worn a pointed-toed,
English last shoe. with broad heel ;
the shoe had been recently half-soled,
and that there were heel plates Of a
foreign make on the heels. There was
a marked pronatiOn of the internal lat
eral border and also a marked abduc-
ton Of the right foot, which proved a
fiat right foot.
Who was this John Doe" with a
marked right foot, wearing pointed
toed, English last shoes. recently half
soled, with foreign make plates on the
heels? What cobbler carried import
ed heel plates and had lately attached
q pair to newly half-soled, pointed
toed, English last shoe?
The rest was easy. John Doe was
apprehended within 4S hours and is
now behind prison bars.
In footprints the same ridge forma~
tion will be found as in fingerprints,
but footprints taken from the bare foot
are only fouEo occasionally. because
most people wear shoes. Shoe and
boot prints may at times play an inn
portant part in the detection Of crime,
because they reproduce the character
istics of the wearer.
Pediatrists claim that determination
is indicated by the feet kept in a par
allel position; a calculative and curl
Gus person toes out considerably; shift
lessness and hesitancy is indicated in
swaying walk: while good health is
shown by brisk gait. Sick people
drag their feet along the ground.
In the examination of shoe or boot
prints we will be able to determine
the exact type Of the shoe worn. It
will also show heel plates. patches,
pegs. stitches. extra nails, and where
the shoe Is worn more or less.
All these marks present very strong
evidence that may lead to the appre-
hensiOn Of a criminal; as each indi.
vidual by the reason Of his own pc
culiar gait, manner of walking, ETC.,
wears out every pair Of shoes In the
very same areas.

Here's the new 7-passenger Oldsmoble, "The Thorobred." The lines of this new Oldsmobile are rakish, streamIine and entirely differs from the old 45B model. Besides the new lines of it's body, the car has many mechanical i'm provements, one of which is 7 inch channel frame of pressed steel with three cross members. The tires are a trifle larger, the motor carries some minor refine ments, which is of the V-shaped, 8-cyIinder capacity. The cars are being distributed over the state by the Ferguson keeIer company.

But the Essex does bring quality and performance to a class field that was unknown.
 The former owners of large costly cars that have adopted the Essex have not been Hudson users. They have come from other cars, cars that fall short of the Super-Six in all par ticulars save size and cost.
 The Essex appeals to such users be- cause of it's nimbleness. They like the way it's performance compares with that of the Super-Six You can see this on every hand. The two cars in any community that are most promi- nent because of their performance ability are the Hudson Super-Six and the Essex.

ESSex Did Not Need HudSO11S Er1dOrSen1e1t

Think of the advantages Essex has had. What ordinarily would have required years to perfect was made possible in the very first model.
 That is why 10000 are now run ming, why more than S30,000, 100000 was paid for Essex cars in ten months
 You have not needed the Hudson endorsement to understand Essex performance.
 Essex has won it's own way. Hudson gave it full benefit of the experience of it's engineers and the ability of it's manufacturing organization. It's name was not needed.
 Now Hudson takes the same pride in acknowledging it's kinship to Essex that father might in speaking of his son who on his own account had made good.

Essex success has not been accident al. No one doubts it's right to the posi- tion 1t holds.
 On the Cincinnati Speedway, a stock chassis Essex set the world 5O- hour endurance mark, or 3O37 miles, under American Automobile Asso- citation supervision. Another stock Essex holds the unequalled 24-hour road mark of 1061 miles.
 But how many know why Essex in it's first year revealed qualities more mature, more evident of the influ ence of long experience, than is com monly found in cars even in their third and fourth year.
 You will recall the Essex was an nounced one year ago without one word as to the identity of it's builders. Not claim was made for it's per- fOrmance.
 You were asked to go look at it, take a ride and form your own opinion. The Essex was required to speak for itself.
 Now that it has established itself, it is revealed why Essex has all the qualities of cars of long development.

Was Designed by Hudson Engineers

They conceived it as they developed the Super-Six. All they learned about endurance, they incorporated in the Essex.
 They gave to the Essex the power that has made it famous in all quart CTS. It's speed is the result of what had been learned in makin gthe Su per-Six winner of all worth while speed records.
 The Essex can never be all that the Super-Six is for they are totally diff ferent types.

felt, however, by Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle. On the contrary, the famous
English writer sees in spiritualism a
new birth of religion, a new revela-
ton that will turn back the engulfing
wave of skepticism sweeping over the
world. Discussing this question in
his latest book, "The Vital Message"
published by the George H. Doran
Company, Sir Arthur says:
Before opening this subject there
is one consideration which should
have due weight, and yet seems con-
tlnually to be overlooked. The dif-
ferences between various sects are
a very small thing as compared to
the great eternal duel between ma
terialism and the spiritual view of
the universe. That is the real fight.
1t is a fight in which the churches

The appropriateness Of the means
employed would not, however, Of
itself be conclusive.
"2. The next question we must
ask is: What reason is there to be-
lieve that these alleged communica-
tions from the other world are gen.
uine? 1t is to my mind both aston
ishing and touching that serious
people should accept these communl
cations as trustworthy. 1t is an evil
dence of the deep soul hunger in all
Of us for that knowledge which is
offered to us in Jesus Christ. In
these communications the possibili
ties Of error, Of self-deception, and
even of fraud, are admitted by all
to be almost without limit.
Quotes DIR. Hyslop
"It Is stated by DR.. Hyslop, him
self a believer in spiritualism, that
more than 80 per cent Of the me-
diums are frauds. And where con-
scious fraud is not present the
known facts as to telepathy and the
working of the sub-conscious mind
make the origin of these messages
at least highly uncertain. The facts
in our possession all point strongly
TO the earthly origin Of these mes
sages. It seems at least probable
that all Of them may be explained
as tho result Of telepathy. Why,
then, are we asked to assume the
agency Of spirits in the matter7
Even where these communications
are under the highest and most
careful supervision their origin re-
mains at most uncertain. In the
ordinary spiritual seance ground
for confidence in them is reduced
below the vanishing point.
"3. The third question which we
are called upon to ask is: What
practical beneficial results is spirit
ualism able TO show which may COM
mend 1t to us? Can it be claimed
that spiritualism has added any,
thing to our knowledge of the other
life? No such claim can be made.

that It would be for our benefit If
we should become a nation addicted
to the use Of wizards, mediums and
ouija boards?
The Religious Results
"a. One more question which we
would ask Is: What are the relig-
ious results which have followed or
may be anticipated for spiritualism?
We are told by some that spiritual
ism is to prove great ally Of the
Christian religion. In the light Of
what we know as to its harmful ef-
fects in many instances on mind and
character, we may we'll feel gravely
doubtful as to this.
ut is possible, however, that the
study Of psychic phenomena may
helpsto bring some persons to belief
in God and in a future life. We are
told that in some instances it has
done this, and we rejoice if this is
the case. But there is no evidence
to show that the usual effect of spir-
itualism is to bring people to a
fuller sense of duty to God and to
faith in Christ.
"The evidence points strongly the
other way. In the light Of the facts
the claim Of spiritualism to be "a
new revelation is indeed a pathetic
one. What the world needs is not
a fuller study of spiritualism but a
fuller study Of the great revelation
given to us in Christ. In the Won
derful truth Of the communion Of
saints we have full assurance Of the
continued life Of those beyond our
sight, of their close fellowship with
US, Of their continued thought Of us
and their prayers offered constantly
for us, as ours are offered for them,
and we have this assurance based
not on communications through me-
diums or other dubious agencies, but
based on the rock Of our faith and
trust in Jesus Christ"

all these messages, and their lack of
any moral value whatever, If gen.
uine, these messages would seem to
show most unhappy mental deteri-
Grafton In those who have gone into
the other life.
"Do the facts seem to show that
those who practice spiritualism are
strengthened by it in will and char
acter; that they are made more
unselfish or are better fitted for the
work of life in this world? The
facts on the whole seem to show
the reverse Of this. There is both
physical and spiritual risk in ex-
perimenting with spiritualism. It is
we'll established that the practice of
spiritualism results in many in
stances in injury to body, mind and
character, and that in certain cases
it leads to actual insanity. l have
myself seen its harmful results in
some cases. Can any one believe

In the Opinion of the English
Novelist, Spiritualism Means
End of Materialism

'loxy, and It is folly to deny it. Then
again came the so-called "higher
criticism," showing alleged flaws
and cracks in the very foundations.
"All this time the churches were
yielding ground, and every retreat
gave fresh jumping-off place for
new assault. 1t has gone so far
that at the present moment very
large section of the people of this
country, rich and poor, are out of
all sympathy not only with the
churches but with the whole spirit
ual view.
"Now, we intervene with our posi-
tive knowledge and actual proof
an ally SO powerful that we are
capable Of turning the whole tide
Of battle and rolling it back forever
against materialism. We can say:
we will meet you on your own
ground and show you by material
and scientific tests that the soul
and personality survive That is
the aim Of psychic science, and it
has been fully attained.
An End to Materialism
"It means an end to materialism
forever. And yet this movement,
this spiritual movement, is hooted
at and reviled by Rome, by Canter-
bury and even by Little Bethel,
each Of them for once acting in
concert and including in their bat
tie line such strange allies as the
scientific agnostics and the militant
Freethinkers. Father Vaughan and
the Bishop Of London, the Rev. F.
B. Meyer and Mr.. Clodd, The
Church Times and The Free
thinker are united in battle, though
they fight with very different bat
tie cries, the one declaring that the
thing is of the devil, while the other
is equally clear that it does not exist
at all.
"The opposition Of the material
lists is absolutely intelligent, since
it is clear that any man who has
spent his life in saying mo to all
extramundane forces is, indeed, in
a pitiable position when, after many
years, he has to recognize that his
whole philosophy is builded upon
sand and that Yes was the answer
from the beginning. But as to the
religious bodies, what words can ex-
press their stupidity and want of all
proportion in not running halfway
and more to meet the greatest ally
who has ever interviewed to change
their defeat into victory? What
gifts of this all-powerful ally brings
with him and what are the terms of
his alliance will now be considered.
