GREY AND BLACK
COMBINATION Is
POPULAR SLIPPER

Lower French heels and higher
military heels will be the vogue in
spring footwear, with the Spanish
straight heel predominating. These
heels on strapped and buttoned
combination black patent leather
and grey suede slippers is the latest
word, local shoe dealers who have
returned from the national conven-
ton of shoe manufacturers in Chi
cago say.
The material and colors most in
style for spring wear are the pat
ent leather, grey and biege suede,
and black satin were the leaders
among the exhibitions at the Chi
cago Coliseum, Auditorium and no.
tells displays.
Local dealers who attended the
convention are Harry briggs of the
Boston Shoe store, o. W. Barr of
M. & K, George Schwenker and F.
l.. Nelson of Agin-Schwenker store,
J. B. Dolly of the Dolly Subway,
and F. A. Berglund of the L. s. Nc
Cabe store.
High shoes are practically ex-
tinct. They will not return until
dresses get longer, and as long as
the women refuse to lengthen their
dresses, there is little hope for any
popularity for the high shoe. The
sandal which made its appearance
last year will be one of the biggest
sellers this year One of the popu-
lar models on display at the con-
Vention was a grey suede quarter
and black patent leather short
vamp, heel strap, Spanish heel. and
with a design on the quarter. An
all grey suede, with perforations on
the strap, quarter, and vamp, low
heel. was another striking style on
exhibit. The sandal slipper is re-
placing the black patent leather
jazz oxford which was much called
for the last season.
The French heel worn last year
is 2A inches high, while the new
French heel is two inches high.
The extreme low walking heel
is passing out and the Spanish heel,
with the Louis breastihg in the
shank, is from tx to IA inches
high.
Some of the more extreme shoes
worn in Paris and in the larger
cities are those with much stitch
ing, fancy co1ors and cuff effects.
The prices of shoes have dropped
about per cent since last season
and the spring models will sell at
50 and $40.
During this month. February and
the early part of March oxfords
will be in demand, but as spring
bo1iuS to come on the fancy StraO
slipper will be the vogue.

HONOR FRENCH
GIRL HEROINE
FOR BRAVE ACT

Paris.-Helene Jacquemin, who
has Just been distinguished by a
special army order, published in
the Official Journal, in recognition
of her bravery at the age of 10,
lived in a little town, Montherme,
in the Ardennes, which department
was entirely occupied by the Ger
mans throughout the war.
Helene's s-rvices were on the
same lines as those of Miss Cavell
in Belgium. Her father, Paulin
Jacquemin, with the help Of Helene
and her brother, Andre, organized
a service for aiding the young men
of the department to get away to
Join the French army. Routes
through the Ardennes forests were
laid out by which those about 10
reach military age, instead of being
sent to Germany, could escape to
the Belgian frontier: thence through
Holland, and so back to France.
They also organized courier pos
tai service between France and the
occupied department
In 1915, some German soldiers
presented themselves at the JAG
ouemin home and said that they had
orders to search it. The father
tried to escape to the forest near,
but a bullet brought him down on
his threshold.
The mother and Helene then 10
wears old. were arrested. But we
refused to say word" Helene re-
counts, I'VE had sworn rather to die
than speak. No trick nor threat
could break our resolution. They
separated me and my mother so rs
TO force me to speak but / felt thai
my poor father was near me. telling
me to say nothing"
Helene is now at the girls high
school at Gainesville, where heI
citation just published has made
her the heroine OF the day.
Her elder brother graduated
from ST. Cyr Military college in
1914 and was killed few months
after at Eparges-

JUSTIFIES ACT
OF TREASON BY
ISLAMIC DUTY

Karachi. India.-The Ali broth
ers' trial has just ended here after
holding the attention of all India
for several weeks. By the jury S
verdict, the defendants were acquit-
ted of the charge of conspiracy to
seduce British troops but on the
charge of making statements in
tended to cause his majesty's troops
to fail in their duty, all except one
were found guilty and sentenced to
two years imprisonment.
The summing up by the judge to
the jury took about one hour and
10 minutes The court emphasized
the majesty of the law and declar-
ed that the jury must not give a
verdict of acquittal through fear of
assassination because of threats by
Shaukat Ali, one of the defendants.
The chief argument for the de-
Tense was the plea that the accused
had acted in accordance with re-
ligiouS precepts, over which civil
law had no authority. In reply to
a question by the Judge as to
whether or not man who commit
ted murder on the ground of his re-
punishment. Mohamed Ali said he
should be excused if he really could
prove that his religion did COM
mand him to kill people, stating
that the loyalty of Moslems was
conditional upon the precepts of
the Koran, and that any govern
ment that forbade the practice of
these precepts could not expect 10y
atty. The prosecutor vigorously as
sailed this contention.
In an address to the court Shau-
kat Ali is reported by the Sind OBJ
server as saying:
81 am a subject of God, and a
free citizen of India 1 do not want
the king. nor his court, nor his
army. Even if l am prosecuted to
death, 1 shall be happy. 1t is my
duty as a mussalman, not only TO
free myself but to carry this mes
sage to every Mussalman in the
country. Whoever kills a Mussal-
man Intentionally, his punishment
is hell everlasting, and Gods
wrath and curse shall be on him.
Queen Victoria announced relig-
ious freedom in her proclamation
but when the matter comes to ac-
ton, it is unheeded- 1t is my duty
to carry the message of IslamiC
duty l don't care whether soldiers
or others listen TO me or not. Mr.
Magistrate you might hang me on
earth or sky. Do what you like;
don't care. / can't be friendly with
the enemies of Islam"
Here the magistrate interTuUtet
! him, saying that he was not pre-.
pared to listen, to political speeches
Thereupon Shaukat Ali few into 6
passion and said: You are insult
ing my faith. l don't care for you
What are you here? You are {
mere gramaphone."
