Little Is Known About Value Of
 Snow-Shoes

Washington.-Snow shoes, which proved such important instruments in the recent rescue Of the American Naval balloonists from the snow bound wiles of Canada. are little known except in most general terms outside the localities where thev are commonly used Still, to make them Is a fine art and to use them is an accomplishment. Walking on snow shoes is learning to walk all over again, says a bulletin on the subject don.
 Up in the Hudson Bay country snow shoes are almost as important as food, and often much more innpor- tant 1T the food is very far away. The snow shoe, as the term is usually un- derstood. is short and broad, and in stead of being all wood, it generally consists of a wooden rim or hoop, cross-Strung with thongs of leather Snow shoes of this kind are not al- ways classed as sporting outfits They are strictly for business during the deep SHOWS and the severe winters of the far northern regions.
 Trappers, hunters, and travellers once habitua1ly wore such in winter 9nd moccasins in summer. Custom mas changed somewhat now, in re- tied, and the snow shoe and the ski have taken their place among imple- mentS of sport
 The snow shoe, with its broad, lat IiSeu, rdWnlOe bottom, Is SerV1CSable In walking over soft snow The wearer does not expect to develop much speed. That is where, when snowstorms such as beset the Navy's men the snow shoes play a big part Northern hunters make their own snow shoes with hatchet and knife, and if leather thongs weer not al hand, the lattice so1es could be woven of baSSwood which can be stripped irI winter as we'll in summer Bark of several other trees will serve also Expert woodsmen know the art of the bark to make it peel in winter and to divide into strands of convenient size for braiding into soles for snow shoes.
 The hunter could split his ski ma ter1al with hatchet and wedges; but the man who used snow shoes for business nearly always preferred the broad, short pattern, with braided whang bottoms. They were more re- liable than the long skis.
 The fattfced snow shoe resembles In general way a large tennis racket with the handle missing. The body Of the shoe is two or three feet long and twelve inches or more wide at the broadest part The rim is of ash. l hickory or elm. The ski is made of beech, birch, maple. ash or spruce | The latter wood is lighter but not so 1 strong as the others. l

Jack Tars Must
 Learn To Swim

Norfolk, Va - Orders have gone down to Guantanamo that some 4,OOo lads aboard the ships of the Atlantic neet who don't know how to swim De taught to paddle their own canoe before the fleet comes north for the summer. They VIII take to the nice warm Cuban water under the eyes of rough tongues, but highly efficient petty officers who are widely known to be proficient in the main business of the Navy in any ine-getting re- suits.
 Navy men are always apt to get a ducking- It looks like plain sailing to see bare-footed launch crews vhirI up to the gangway in smooth water but they have to do it every day They are the butchers and bakers and candleStick makers boys of the fleet always on the go. And it's something of trick to come alongside in a sea- way without pumping somebody off the boat or carrying away a fender to the profane wrath of the bo'sun and indignation of the deck officer and ''first loot'' of the ship. A ships boat hops about like a. flea on a. hot griddle in a surface stir that leaves the ship as motionless as the Statue of Liberty.
 Hence the order to teach the navy to swim. If a lad is dumped over board and can keep himself af1oat for a while, you can trust the Navy in general to fish him safely out finally They are always pinning medals on sailor folk foF that.

HOW WOULD BE.
 OKLA, GOT NAME

Tulsa--The town of Would Be, Oklahoma, owes it's name to a dis pute between a postofice inspector and postmaster.
 This is the story as told by Emby Kaye: of Would Be. In 1917, about 400 persons comprising an oil camp five miles south of Billings, decided they wanted a postoff1ce. The post office department granted their re- quest and postal inspector arrived to christen the new community.
 The postmaster, leading the discus sion for the citizens, wanted the town named Mid-Co. The inspector ob- jeoted-
 s'It wouldn't do at all," he said. .sWhen the oils gone, what would it be?''
 .sIt would be a town, that's what it would be-" answered the postmast- CT.
 "Well, then, if it would be, it would be-" the inspector retaliated, and the postal station thereupon became Would Be.

Captured and Bound
In Peoria Plant.

PEORIA. Ills. April ls.-Tweuty-
Ave men armed with shotguns and
pistols swept down on the Corning
distillery today in a spectacular
raid and seized zoo cases of liquor
and escaped. .-
Three United States government
watchmen, one prohibition agent
and a special railroad detective
made a vain attempt to fght of the
raiders. They were~surrounded. cap
tured and locked in a room. while
the robbers carried cases and bar
rels of liquor out to two motor
trucks waiting at the lading plat
form.
The distillery employees had not
yet reported for work. but It was
broad daylight when the two trucks
backed up to the platform and the
raiders rushed the door of the ship
ping room. The government watch
man inside the building heard the
noise, but did not suspect the cause.
One of the guards went to the
shipping room to investigate. AS
he opened the door he was con-
fronted b ytwenty-five weapons and
forced back into the building.
The raiders bound him in an up
right position in a storage bin. then
noiselssly through the
distillery until they had cut of all
the watchmen from the exits. Then.
closing in. they forced the remain
ing guards to throw down their
arms.
They worked speedily in the load
ing of the trucks, and were just
driving away when the day engineer
of the plant arrived. He released
the captive watchman, who notified
the police. Automobiles and motor
cycles were pressed into a search
for the trucks, but no trace OF the
robbers was found.

Startles Audience at

MONTREAL, Que, April 1s.-Ex-
plosion of a bomb in their midst
could scarcely have produced a
more startling effect in political
circles than a speech delivered to
the women's section of st. Jean
Baptiste Society by the prime min
lister of the province. the Hon. A.
L. Taschereau, when it reached the
ears of the English speaking popu-
lation.
Premier Taschereau made the, as
sertion that the confederation is in
danger of breaking up and that
Canada is at the parting of the
ways and must oppose either the
status quo, seek independence, or
accept annexation to the United
States.
He made it evident that inde-
pendence, at least for French
Canadians. had attractions for him
and equally evident that rather
than be Annexed to the United
States he would retain the British
connection for a time.
The prime minister introduced his
startling review of =. the political
outlook with an attack on nation
alization of railways, which ne de-
clared forced eastern Canada to
bear the burdens OF the West in or
der to save the Western provinces
from bankruptcy.

this naturalization is not the first
breach and a strong breach OF the

HARDING LEAVES
BUDGET DISPUTE
TO TWO S0LONS
Declines to Settle Matter
Of Bureau Juris-
diction.
Copyright. Underwood and UBder~oodJ

President Harding declined yes
terdsy to act as srbiter in the dis
pute between Republican leaders Of
the Senate and House relative TO
budget legislation. The President
in conference with Senator Nc
cormick. OF Illinois, and Represent-
ative Good. Of Iowa. requested that
they reach an agreement between
themselves on the details Of the
proposed legislation.
The hitch has been over the
question as TO whether the budget
bureau should be directly under the
President or should be located in
the Treasury Department. The
House leaders have preferred that
the bureau should be under the
President while the Senate Repub-
lIcans have favored placing il In
the Treasury Department. The
compromise bill passed at the last
session made the Secretary Of the
Treasury director Of the budget but
provided that an assistant director
should be appointed by the Presi-
dent.
Following the conference with
the President, Senator Mccormick
and Representative Good took steps
toward framing a new compromise
measure. Indications last night
were that the new bill will pro-
vide that the budget bureau shall
be located in the Treasury Depart
ment but that both the director and
assistant director shall be ap-
pointed by the President Tho Sec
retary OF the Treasury will not be
the director of the budget and will
have little actual connection with
the work Of the bureau.
Location Of the bureau in the
Treasury Department would CEN
tralize the handling OF matters re.
lating 20 revenues and expenditures
in this department. avoiding dupIi.
cation OF records such as might be
unavoidable il the budget bureau
were made an independent body.
Under the proposed compromise
the director would receive a salary
OF $1,000 and the assistant direc-
tor $500.
