Last Shoes; at $2.95
Sizes 81 to IL

Never again will you ne able to buy
these shoes at such a low price. We
were lucky in finding a manufacturer,
who was overstocked with them, and
needed ready cash, so we bought them
at almost one-half Of the regular
price. This shoe is made over the U.
S. Army Munson-last, with extra
heavy stitching; special grained
chrome brown leather used through
out. An ideal shoe for workmen,
farmers, icemen, postmen, carpenters
and motormen, who are obliged to be
on their feet all day.

LEGION MAN OF MANY TASKS
Howard S. Fisk, Historian Of District
Of Columbia, Has Had Many
Interesting Experiences.

Howard s. Fisk, now historian Of
the American Legion in the District Of
Columbia, was considered during the
war as one Of the most resourcefuI OF
executives on account Of his expert
knowledge concerning automobile
transportation.
Fisk was born in New York City
and, on removal to Washington, be-
came a newsboy. From this lowly
station he arose through various de-
partments of a city daily until he
became automobile editor Of the news
paper. As a result of his work in this
connection he became familiar with all
phases of automobile transportation,
and has edited several books on this
subject.
He was identified with the District
of Columbia Naval Militia during the
SpaniSh-American war, and was pay
clerk on board the U. S. S. Fern, the
first ship to enter Havana harbor
after the Maine was blown up. In
1917 he volunteered his services to the
navy and during the war was stationed
In Washington as a staff member of
Admiral McCOwen's staff. When the
outbreak of influenza swept the city in
1913, Fisk was detached from active
duty and was placed in charge Of a
transport corps, which conveyed pa
tients, physicians and nurses through
out the city during the epidemic The
District of Columbia was under direc-
