Professional
Dancers wear them

Dancers must safeguard the
health and comfort of their feet
most carefully. Many professional
dancers have adopted Cantilevers
for their off-stage footwear, be-
cause they realize the benefit and
enjoy the freedom of these flexible
shank shoes. The Cantilever Shoe
is patterned with extraordinary
care to fit the arch of the foot. 1t
supports the arch. But it does not
contain steel shank-piece as
ordinary shoes do. The Cantilever
Shoe bends as easily as the foot.
1t encourages the muscles to exer-
else, keeps them supple and strong.
Dancers, teachers, saleswomen,
housewives, all women who must be
much on their feet, should try these
graceful, comfortable shoes.
The last follows the lines of the
foot. The natural inner sole line
allows the toes to point straight
ahead in their normal healthy posi-
ton. The heels are set to encourage
good posture, and they accord with
the new style.
If you have been suffering from
fatigue, backache, headaches, ner-
vousness, burning or aching feet,
change for a month to Cantilever
Shoes. They will give you better
health and d new enjoyment of
comfort.

.BOY
SCOUTS
&
Conducted by NATIONAL Council of the Boy
Scouts OF America-)
FIRST TO WIN GOLD MEDAL

Dale Collier of Rock Island, ILL.,, has
the honor Of being the first scout to
win the new gold medal just designed
for the Court Of Honor, by Belmore
Brown, the explorer. The incident
which won the coveted National Scout
Medal Of Honor for young Collier oc-
cured last January.
The boy had just started on an err
rand for his mother when he noticed
three men walking on the Ice on the
river. Even as he saw them he per-
ceived to his horror that the ice was
breaking beneath them. He ran about
200 yards and found an old boat.
There were no oars but he snatched
up piece Of board and jumping into
the boat broke his way through to
where one Of the men was sinking.
The boy threw him the board and
pulled the boat, fast filling with wa
ter, close to the man, got him Into 1t
and back to shore. Then emptying
out the boat he set out again in search
Of the others. This time, not having
even the board to help him, he beat
his way through the ice downstream
with his fists. BY this arduous process
he finally got to where the other two
men were. He managed with much
difficulty to get both into the boat,
which then began to sink from the
weight and having shipped so much
water. The men being unconscious,
the boy bailed for dear life with his
hands, screaming for help. Another
boat reached them in time and all
were gotten ashore. Not content with
his already heroic achievement young
Collier worked over the unconscious
men trying to induce artificial respira-
tion. He succeeded In the case Of
one man but the other who was just
recovering from an illness never re-
gained consciousness. The story Is
one Of the most striking Of the many
noteworthy instances of scout pluck
and resourcefulness that have passed
through the hands Of the Court Of
Honor and Scout Collier well deserves
the honor accorded him.

SCOUTS ON THE JOB.

Out In Bellingham, Wash, some
spectators chuckled with approval
over the following incident and re.
ported 1t to the local papers: A
quart bottle Of milk had been dropped
In the street and lay splintered into a
thousand pieces prepared to do their
worst to all passing tires. Two lads

unison and swooped down upon the
broken bits of glass. which in another
moment were gathered up and depos-
tied in the proper receptacle. An ex-
cellent object lesson this, to all who
witnessed the incident and another
proof that scouting is doing just what
1t claims to do-makes responsible

from members who are engaged In
various club activities, telling their
experiences and results, also form a
part Of the program.
The boys decided to enroll in pig
club this year and the girls to take
up sewing club work. A committee
has been appointed for each group to
secure new members. 1t Is planned
to put on a demonstration by each Sec
tion Of the club at the state fair next
autumn.
The local leader Of the club Is a
rural teacher and the work is done
under the direction of the county
agent, who has already received re-
quests from other communities near
by asking how they could form sim
ilar clubs. Such u club has the ad-
vantage Of interesting THE boys and
girls Of a community In local prob
lens and will probably be the means
of encouraging them to remain In farm
work.

CONTROL GRAPEVINE LO0PER
Green Worm Is Sometimes Destruc-
tive to Garden and Arbor Grapes
XIII BY Spraying.

The grapevine looper, green worm
about an inch and half long, some
times destructive to garden and arbor
grapes and to Virginia creeper, has
been found by United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture observers doing
some damage to vineyards in the
Chautauqua belt along Lake Erie. The
worm ordinarily feeds from early IN
June until the middle Of July.
1t may be killed b. spraying. A
solution of 11a pounds Of powdered
arsenate Of lead to 80 gallons Of
liquid has been found effective. The
poison may be used In water or may
he combined with bordeaux mixture
used to control fungous disease. A
spray application directed primarily
against the grapevine rootworm and
the grape-berry moth, Immediately
after the blossoms fall, incidentally
controls the grapevine looper.

A G. A. r. VERDICT.

A G. A. r. veteran Of Columbus,
Ohio, says: "While attending our Grand
army encampments for the past few
years In many cities of the United
States / have come to the conclusion
we could not get along without the
boy scouts everwilllng help. They are
the first persons we meet when we
gee off the train. to carry our luggage
to our stopping place, and if we
have no place engaged they will take
us to one and see that we are made
comfortable. They can beat the police
at their own game when 1t comes to
watching street crossing or keeping
the streets clear for parade. They
are always on hand with cool cup
Of water; In fact, everywhere to do
good deed for somebody. 1 have
learned to love them. consider the
boy scout movements one Of the best
schools Of American education. I say
God bless them and the men who con-
tribute their time and money to boost
them. Boys, the Grand Army Of the
Republic are your friends"

One always feels with the approach
bf each new spring and summer season
that the smart Parisienne this time
may place the stamp of her approval
on the truly summer dress Of lingerie
material or a novelty cotton. A well
dressed French woman. notes a fashion
writer, can only consider her frocks
made of these light and summery fab
rics as suitable to be worn at the
races at Deauville In August, on the
tennis court, or around the tea table
on the lively lawns surrounding her
chateau, where she spends few weeks
and slightly larger number of week
ends that can re spared from pressing
social duties elsewhere.
Despite the limited number of wom-
en- who wear such dresses on these
hardly frequent occasions every
spring, In all the big collections de-
cided number of this type of dress Is
shown. The Frenchwoman seems to
consider any summer event and all
sports from peculiarly social angle,
so she has not great use for this SIM
pie summer frock so beloved by her
American sisters.
Costumes Vie With Simple Dresses.
When she does find real summer
dress, which she considers fitting for
one of her complicated midsummer
afternoons, one can rest assured that
II is very beautiful with distinct
cachet and truly French charm; n
charm perhaps In intricacy Of cut or
detail or in daring and successful
ly mannish, simplicity. And like
paradox the more fancy dyes will most
likely be seen fluttering under a par
asol on the shady side of tennis court
while the simpler frock will stalk bold
ly into busy group around tea table
at Deauville.
Dresses of this type made by the
greatest French dressmakers have met
with the complete approval of their
designers and makers. They already
have had most successful outings,
thanks to the American woman, who
has worn them in Florida, In Cali
fornia and at the Country club, wealth
er permitting.
In spite of the fact that the we'll.
dressed woman on the Riviera wears
summery dresses and sports clothes,
they are considered more Indicative
of the transition period between sea-
sons than they are of positive an

USEFUL TO INCREASE HUMUS
Farmers' Bulletin Points Out Different
Methods Of Growing and Harvest

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agrculture.)
Few crops can be utilized In as
great variety OF ways as cowpeas.
For centuries they have been grown
for human food In Asia, Africa and In
the Mediterranean region Of Europe.
IN this country, particularly In the
southern states, the crop Is common
ly used fos this purpose, but Its most
important use by far Is In the feeding
Of live stock, being utilized for soiling,
hay, silaee and pasture. 1t is also of
great value as n green-manure crop to
increase the humus and nitrogen con-
tent Of the soil upon which 1t Is grown.
These are points brought out In Farm
ers' Bulletin 1853, "Cowpeas: Utillza-
tlon," recently published by the Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture,
which discusses not only the utiliza-
tion OF the crop, but the methods Of
growing and harvesting 1t for each Of
Its various uses.
Have High Food Value.
Cowpeas are not grown for seed
more generally because Of the uncer-
tainty OF the crop, the expense Of har-
vestlng and the comparatively low
yield obtained. In localities well suit
ed to production 1t will be found
highly profitable to grow cowpea seed
on large scale, especially IL the best
machinery for handling the crop is
used. The seed has high feeding
value. but Is rarely cheap enough to
be used as feed. It can be stored for
a considerable length Of time without
much danger Of loss Of vitality. As II
Is subject to attacks from insects, es-
pecially the cowpea weevil, the seed
produced In southern states should be
placed In cold storage, the bulletin
recommends.
Cowpea hay Is an excellent forage
for all kinds Of stock. Even the straw
obtained from threshlng the peas for
seed Is valuable stock feed. As
rule cowpeas should not be cut for hay
before the pods begin to turn yellow.
The best quality Is produced and the
hay cures most readily If the vines
are cut when most of the pods are full
grown and considerable part Of them
matured. If cut before this stage the
vines are watery and difficult to cure,
while IL left too late before cutting
there will be an unnecessary loss of
leaves in handling and the stems will
be tough and woody. The hay Is
somewhat difficult to cure. but with

tions for the forthcoming season.
Cotton Novelties IN Countless Shades.
Every spring brings out new and
wonderful cotton materials, wonderful
in the fact that they are so sheer
having much the appearance Of chiffon
and that the designs are so intricate
ly and beautifully woven into the ma
terial in color or self tone, with per-
haps here and there scattered mo-
tif embroidered In the most pleasing
of color combinations. Or again the

in sort of basket weave called flo
Gamma. This comes In the seasons
most prominent shades-orange beige,
Jade green. cerise, pink. nattier blue
and also In the darker shades-tetc
de nigre, navy blue and black.
The most popular form Of decora-
tion noted on cotton dresses Is fil-tire,
or drawn thread work, this being due
to the fact that the dresses Of this
character enter the United States at
a much lower rate OF duty than those
carrying embroidery and lace. Then,
coo. the cotton materials lend them
selves well to this form Of decoration.
