TRACED TO PRINTERS DEVIL
That Busy Individual 10 Given Credit
for Establishment Of Rubbsr.Hsei
Industry.

A printer had sore feet, says the
Boot and Shoe Recorder. He had to
stand for long hours at his case, set
ting up type and then distributing II
back again from the forms. The
floor became pretty hard after five
or six hours Of this, so he got hold Of
a rubber mat to stand on and put
this In front of the case.
But the printers devil was full Of
mischief md would hide the mat dur
Ing the noon hour or before the print
er In question came to work.
SO in order to fool the printers
devil the printerwith-the-sore
worked out scheme which, accord
ing to the traditions Of the industry,
laid the foundation for the whole busi-
ness Of rubber heels, now one Of the
considerable industries of the country
running into millions Of dollars.
For the printer took his rubber
mat and cut out soles and heels from
it, tackled them on to his shoes and
thus equipped, went about his work
In peace In utter defiance Of
printers devils and oblivious Of the
fact that he was founding new In
dustry.
The business Of making rubber
heels now has worldwide connections
and systems Of distribution, and
skilled engineers and scientists have
been at work for several years In in
dustrlal laboratories, working out
compounds Of rubber that will meet
the needs Of the business most
exactly.

The age Of reptiles was an age Of
selfishness. Each lizard thought only
Of himself, while our ancestors helped

Selfishness in nature is crime, and
will surely bring penalty on those
who practice 1t. The lizards whose
philosophy Of life was '.get every

we were spared to profit by their fate.
The hereditary memories Of the ter
rible things our ancestors experienced

Versatile Public Life.
When Mr.. Monroe left his Virginia
home to live In New York he had
ended a versatile public life. At
eighteen he left Williams college to
enter the revolutionary army of
George Washington. and rose to be
military commissioner of his home
state. He was elected to the assembly
Of Virginia later: In time he became
a member of congress, he was In the
convention which considered the con-
stltution. and he was minister pleni-
potentiary. 10 France.
On his return Mr.. Monroe was
chosen governor of Virginia; then, as
envoy extraordinary to France, he
negotiated the Louisiana purchase.
After holding the ministerial position
In the British isles he entered as a
leading figure the negotiations for the
purchase Of Florida from Spain. A
second term MS governor Of Virginia
and periods Of duty In the secretary
ships Of state and war preceded his
election twice as President.
Outstanding of the services Of Mr..
Monroe was that which has come to
mean SO much In the determination of
American International relations. In
the action Of the scenic and historic
society is to be restored the final
refuge Of the man whose chief claim
to perpetual glory was the declaration
that:
Neither entangiing ourselves in
the broils of Europe nor suffering any
power of the world to interfere with
the affairs Of the new, and attempt on
their (the European powers) part to
extend to any portion of this hemI-
sphere would he dangerous to our
peace and safety and would be op-
posed accordingly"
