AUTOMOBILE FEET

When new habits or fashions are
adopted new physical troubles usu-
ally make their appearance in due
time. We have long suspected that
so much riding in automobiles and
the great decrease in the practice of
walking would be reflected sooner or
later in physical infirmities. Chiro-
podists in convention at Buffalo tell
us such is already the case. In con-
vincing figures they say that cases
of arch trouble in the feet have in
creased rs per cent since the auto
came into general use. And they ad-
wise walk after every ride, 10 min
utes walking for every hour spent in
riding.
The advice will be followed by
very few, but the facts in the case
should not be forgotten. Shoemakers
are not the only ones suffering from
the popularity of the auto. The mus
cles We do not use become weak,
subnormal and unreliable, and those
of the feet have a lot of RESPONSE
bility resting on them.-The Path
finder.

In regards to country fires there
is one thing that the neighboring
farmers should always keep in mind
that if, they want to help their
friend in distress they should always
bring water with them when going
to fire. Most all farmers have bar
rels around their home and it would
be very easy for them to carry lit
tie water. This idea in mind they
will always be of some help to their
friend.

MANY GAME-LAW VIOLATORS
SUCCESSFULLY PROSECUTED

One of the functions of the United
States Department of Agriculture is
to administer the migratory-bird
treaty act which protects migratory
birds during fixed seasons and the
Lacey Act which regulates interstate
commerce in the dead bodies or parts
thereof of wild animals, with a view
to upholding State laws as to traffic
in pelts. Cordial cooperation exists
between Federal and State game pro-
tectors and deputy wardens, and as
a result, during the past fiscal year,
there have been many cases of viola
tion brought to justice either in Fed
eral or State courts.
Evidence submitted to the Bureau
Of Biological Survey in connection
with 576 migratory-bird treaty act
violations resulted in the successful
prosecution of 376 cases, fines and
costs amounting to more than $4,000
being collected. In addition q per-
sons were committed to Jail for Pc
riods of from 10 days to months.
Investigations at fur houses by
game protectors of the Biological
Survey revealed approximately $500
shipments of skins of fur-bearing
animals, involving apparent viola
tions of State game laws. In these
cases evidence was furnished to the
State affected. Reports received
from the State indicate that as a re-
suit of this cooperation 1,500 per-
sons were successfully prosecuted,
and fines of more than $3,700 were
In IL cases the defendants
received jail sentences.
Four persons in Maine engaged in
illegal beaver traffic and, apprehend-
ed by a Federal game protector and
a deputy State game warden, were
prosecuted. One beaver
skin was ordered confiscated by the
court, and the fines and costs as
sessed against the defendants totaled
S535.

THE HOLY PRETZEL

"Politics and liquor apparently are
as inseparable as a combination of
beer and pretzels," said former As
sistant Attorney Mabel Walker Will
lebrandt in her syndicated article,
"The Inside of Prohibition"
This wisecrack on pretzels, ac-
cording to Frederic William Vile in
the Washington Star, invited protest
from concern describing itself as
"the worlds largest pretzel manu-
facturer." 1t said in remonstrance:
whether your remark was made
in ignorance or carelessness, it evin-
ces a singular lack of knowledge of
the food habits of the nation and
casts reflection upon everything
else said in your article. Pretzels
were first made as part of re-
ligious observance, their very shape
and form indicating the folded arms
of the attitude of prayer. They were
originally given to children as re-
ward for learning prayers, and chill
dren are today the greatest consum-
ers of pretzels. THE Pathfinder.

SUMMER WOOLENS REQUIRE
PROTECTION FROM MOTHS

There is a prevailing impression
that clothes moths are active only in
the spring and summer and that in
the fall and winter it is not necessary
to take precautions in storing sum-
mer clothing. The Bureau of En-
tomology says, however, that while
moths may be more prevalent and
noticeable as warm weather ap-
proaches, they are active throughout
the year in apartments or other
places where a steady temperature
of 20 degrees F or more is main
tanned.
Clothing and blankets in constant
use are not often attacked. A woolen
summer suit left hanging at the
back of a closet, however, would ex-
actly meet parent moths idea of a
good place to lay her eggs. The fol-
lowing year the suit would likely be
riddled with holes; and some of the
larvae might crawl off and eat other
garments, such as the evening suit
that is only worn occasionally, OF
anything else that is not frequently
brushed and shaken.
At the end of their season any
garments likely to be attacked should
be thoroughly cleaned at home,
brushed, beaten, and summed, or sent
to a dry cleaner. Then they should
be neatly folded and put away at
once in a tight red-cedar chest or
other tight container such as a
trunk or box which can be sealed.
AS additional protection in any con-
tainer except the cedar chest, it is
well to put some naphthalene fakes
or moth balls in the box with the
clothing. Cardboard boxes may be
used if the clothing is property pre-
pared beforehand as indicated, and
if they have an outer wrapping or
heavy paper with the ends turned
under in such a way that no moths
can get in.

LEARNED HOW IT WAS DONE

Elihu Root tells story about him
self and his efforts to correct the
manners of his office boy. One morn
ing the young autocrat came into
the Office and tossing his cap at a
hook, exclaimed: "Say, Mr.. Root
there's a ball game down at the park
today, and want to go down."
Now the great lawyer was willing
that the boy should go but thought
he would teach him a little lesson in
good manners.

way to ask favor. Now you sit
