Shoes Worn by Chinese Women.

Many young Chinese women have
adopted western shoes, but those who
grew up in the days before foot bind
ing was forbidden still wear the tiny,
resplendently embroidered shoes that
have no counterpart in all the world.
Roughly, these shoes are of two types:
one, which has a fair-siZed heel made
on the shoe for outdoor wear; and an
other which has TO heel, for indoor
use. The latter, however, may be
fitted with a loose heel held In posi-
ton by tapes if the lady wishes to
walk abroad.

Wild Fowl
On Increase

Washington, March 24.-Conser-
vation of water and marsh areas is
necessary to the perpetVation of the
migratory wild fowl, the Depart
ment of Agriculture declared in a
statement today.
Reports received by the biological
survey during the last few months
show there has been an increase OF
wild fowl since the passage Of the
migra torybird law. and under pro-
per conditions, it stated. water far
ming" of many lakes and ponds and
of marsh and of swampy lands will
yield a larger return than would the
same area drained and used for agri-
culture.
Dr. ID. w Nelson, chief of the sur
vey. declared the rapidly increasing
drainage of lakes and marshes
throughout the country indicates
that wild fowl resorts and feeding
places will be practically eliminated
from most of the states unless con-
siderable number of the best OF them
are conserved.

WILL LINK TWO
PARTS OF STATE
PLAN To MAKE THE BRIDGE AT
PIERRE AVAILABLE FOR We
HICLES AND ALSO PEDEs-
TRANS.

Pierre, March 24.-Another effort
for the immediate linking of eastern
and western South Dakota, by means
OF a permanent wagon bridge. is be-
ing made by the Pierre commercial
club. according TO the recent an
nouncement of that organization.
The club has obtained engineers
figures showing the cost and feas-
ibility or the Chicago and North
western railway company planking
the railroad bridge between this city
and Fort Pierre and adopting a sys-
tenn of tolls for vehicles and pedes-
trians.
The plan. which will be submitted
to railroad officials within a few
weeks by a committee representing
the club. calls for the planking of
the bridge by the company, the con-
struction of toll gates at each end
and the discontinuance of the ferry
train, which makes the two-mile run
between the cities on a two-hour
schedule during the day.
According to the engineers fig
ures, this ferry train service is not a
paying proposition to the railroad
company, while the toll system would
be capable of showing a profit. The
two guards now stationed at each end
of the bridge would be made the col
lectors of the toll.
The cities of Ft. Pierre and Pierre
would be responsible for the grading
of the approaches to the bridge, un-
der the plan.
If the plan is adopted it will pro-
vide the first permanent wagon
bridge across the Missouri in this
state. 1t is hoped to have the matter
before the railroad officials in time
so that If adopted the necessary work
may be completed before midsum-
mer.
