WHEN WE GO SHOPPING
BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN.

Leather heels are preferred by wom-
en- who do not have to do much walk
ing about Women kept on their
feet all day should buy rubber heels
at least for their working shoes. II
you have your husbands or sons
shoes heeled. have the shoe rspairer
put metal clips on the side of the
heel which is usually worn down.
They cost little and will prolong the
life Of the heels.
Don't wait until heel Is worn to
the upper or q sole has peep holes
before YOU buy replacement parts
A worn down heel causes the shoe 10
become shapeless. and IL a shoe is
worn with a hole in II your hosiery
bill will soon exceed the cost of the
new sole.
When you have a pair Of shoes
heeled look at the back OF the shoe.
II there are any rough places or
nails protruding, have cap Of 1eath-
er put back there. Whenever stitch.
ing begins to give buy new stitching
at once. The longer YOU waiv the
more you will ultimately pay.
Rubber soles are good for sport
wear. but not for every day. Rubber
on the feet continually affects the
eye. Buy leather soles for general
wear. One pair of shoes will do for
tennis, golf and so forth. Have an
old pair Of shoes rubber soled and
heeled for the purpose.
1t is a good idea to make a monthly
survey of all the shoes in the closet.
Inspect them for needed repairs and
send your son out with needy ones
1t Is a most economical way Of spend
ing money. Buying repairs r. al
ways cheaper than buying shoes, and
goodness knows one buys plenty of
shoes anyway.

Man-Made Meteors.

For a long, time astronomers have
felt that the swarms of peteors V1si-
BILE at certain times of year in the
night should also be visible in day
time Sunlight Elinting on meteors
should cast tiny beams OF light JUST
as much as the moon reflects the sun
light Finally several astronomers
observed the fight OF tiny dark
bodies drifting across the range OF the
telescope s vision when the lenses
were turned on LUMINOUS bodies, like
the moon and sun. This gave as
tronomy a great thrill until somebody
discovered that you could make these
mysterious meteors appear any time
by simply tapping the sides OF the
telescope and showering down a bit
Of dust, which would appear magni-
fed by the lens. -
Now what do you know about that?
Answers to Saturdays Questions.
l. The nearest sun to ours Is Alpha
Centauri, but it would take an express
train 0,000, 900 years to reach 1t.
2. A light year is the distance which
1t takes light year to travel. Alpha
Centauri is therefore distant four
and a half light years.
3. With fhe naked eye we cannot
see any other suns than ours: that
10. we cannot make out their form,
but merely catch a beam OF light
from them.
4. The motion of the sun through
space was discovered by Herschel
5. A fixed star is a star that does
not appear to he moving; actually all
stars are moving.
s. A binary system is a. system Of
twin suns.
