roadway through the park.
Survey Of the park to determine
the most suitable place for con-
struction of the proposed $40 900
shelter house will be made before
the end of June and plans for the
building prepared.
Widening of the bridges in the
park, regarded as one of the most
pressing needs, will not be possible
this summer, it Is stated by Lieu
tenant Colonel G.. o. Sheriff., Off
Ger in charge of public buildings
and public parks. An appropri&.
tion, of $4,000 was provided by
Congress for the work. of widening
dangerous roads and bridges. This
amount, it is held, is insufficient
for the purpose and will be expend-
ed for elimination of dangerous
curves in the park roads. many Of
which were designed before the au-
tomobile came into use.
Hope For Appropriation.
One of the bridges most in neeG
of widening is the boulder bridge
on Beach drive. Widening Of this
bridge alone would consume the
greater part of the appropriation,
il is stated, and would leave moth
ing for other badly needed work.
Park officials hope to secure
funds from the next Congress for
The widening of the bridges.
An appropriation of $37,48O has
been provided by Congress for use
after July l for lighting parks and
park buildings. A portion of this
appropriation is to be used for in
stalIation of lights along Beach
drive. The wires are to be carried
underground and the poles will be
of an ornamental type which VIII
not mar the beauty of the drive,
which is one of the finest in the
park.

[ Spent 100000 to take t
Guess out Of Shoe Fifth

When Uncle Sam called 5000, 900 men to
the training camps, and had to fit them with
new shoes so they could walk all day with a
rifle on their shoulder and 5O-pound pack
on their back, he got more knowledge and
experience in fitting shoes in three years than
all the shoe statesmen in the world had accrn-
ulated in three centuries.
gave up my job as President Of this Com
pany and accepted new position to help
Uncle Sam establish Training Schools for
Officers over here, and over there, to teach
men how to fit shoes in the training camps.
Surveys made in eight camps showed that
41 1852 out of So, FOG were fitted from Y to 81
sizes short, before the Resco Foot Measuring
Machine, which invented and presented to
the Government, was officially adopted by the
United States Army, September 20, 1913.
Now, what was the trouble, and what is the
answer?
The old-fashioned method of trying to fit
shoes by measuring the length of one foot
with size stick when you are sitting down, is
a guessing contest from start to finish.
The Foot Rule is no relation to the Size
Stick. can't find anybody who knows what
the unit of measurement of the size stick
represents. Some say it's Barleycorn.
If your foot measured size on the size
stick, it would measure about 1OH inches on
a foot rule, and the salesman would tell you
that you should wear anything from 7 to
an 81.
He never attempts to measure the width
of the foot with the old-fashioned size stick
so that's all pure guess.
And furthermore, he only measures one foot,
and every man in the training camps had two
feet, and the right width of both feet is just
as important as the correct length.
We took all the guess out of fitting shoes
for the soldier when we first used the RESCO
Fitting Machine to measure the length and
width Of both feet when he was standing up
with pack on his back.
