WOODEN SHOES WORN

1t may be surprising to many, as it
was to US, to learn that around a million
pairs of wooden shoes are manufactured
and worn in the United States every year,
but such is the case, according to the De-
partment of Commerce.
Ten factories in eight states specialize
in the manufacture of wooden footwear,
which ranges from sandals for women and
children to heavy work shoes for men.
Soles from half an inch to three inches in
thickness are used for the heavy work
shoes.
Prices Of wooden shoes range from ST
to So pair, while high boots with wooden
soles bring Sc. They are in demand by
workers in damp fields in certain parts of
the country and by those in factories who
must stand on wet concrete floors. The
movies and the stage also use some of this
product.
Wooden shoe factories are located in
New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts,,
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and
Florida. They keep stocks on hand for
immediate delivery, just as makers of
leather shoes do, but those used on the
stage are usually made to special order

MARINE ANNIVERSARY

Twenty years ago, from September
to 10, 1914 the momentous First Battle OF
the Marine was fought, the victory of the
French and British under General Joffre
saving Paris from capture by the Germans
and probably deciding the war in its first
great battle
Prior to the beginning OF this historic
vanced through Belgium and northern
France and were within a few niies of
Paris. Joffre had gradually retired in the
face of the superior German force until his
reserves could be modified sufficiently to
enable him to take the offensive.
Having Unanswered his armies in to
positions which seemed to make an often
sive drive likely to succeed, Joffre attacked
the Germans at dawn on Sunday, Septem-
Der 6. After five days of the most des-
perate fighting, during which Joffre dis
played daring and mastery strategy, the
Germans were in full retreat toward pre-
viously prepared positions Paris had been
saved
In this great battle it is estimated that
100000 Germans and 100000 Allies
were engaged on battlefront 12O miles
long.
Nearly four years later much of the
same territory was to be the scene of the
Second Battle of the Marine, in which, with
Marshal Foch in supreme command of the
Allied armies, Germany's last hope of VIM
ming the war was definitely blasted 81

NEED SPIRIT OF PIONEERS


The government has been pouring out re-
Lief funds for two years. There has been an
emergency and it was imperative that relief be
given millions o. people. In this land Of plenty no
should go hungry nor be cold for lack Of clothes.
But the public RELIEF has been abused, and il
is high time that men and women for their own
future welfare take stock of their situation We
do not want to have our people become improvdent
and shiftless dependents.
RELIEF workers report that it is difficult or
Impossible to induce persons who are
asking for public relief to go to the exertion %
planting a garden canning vegetables or fruits.
Men have been hired to grow community gardens,
and women are to be paid for their services in
canning the vegetables from these gardens. The
canned goods will then be given to the people who
are in need Of food next winter. The garden and
canning projects commendabe enterprises.
There families in this county where the mother
in the household is III and who has not the strength
or the equipment with which to can the vegetables
She and her family must be given food that has
been prepared for them.
But according to reports there men and
women who have the physical strength to plant ana
care for gardens and the produce from them who
simply neglect to do so through shiftlessness.
These people viii have to be fed; they cannot be
allowed to sta,ve, but the brunt Of public opinion
should bear down heavily on them 1t is disgrace,
ful for a person to ask for public charity or to
take food and supplies from public relief agencies
who does not actually need them
The greatest recovery program that could be
launched in this country would be to arouse the
latent spark of pride in self-support. It is
demoralizng to have thousands of people in this
state maintained by public charity. We need more
of the spirit of the pioneers.

BAER 'RISkINe' TITLE TONIGHT
 WITH LEvlNSKy
Heavyweight Boxing Champ Tn Four Round Mix
 Could Be K. O.'d

CHICAGO, Dec. 28.-In exchange for some good coin of the realm, which his handlers hope will evil dence itself in goodly proportions at the box office, Max Baer, pres ent.a world heavyweight boxing champion, will risk his popularity and,s to some extent, his title in a four-round bout here tonight with King Levinsky.
 There is every indication that the ticket sale will be good. Levinsky, Chicago fishpeddler, has been in the public eye much, what with re- cent fights and a marriage with a fan dancer. On the other hand, Baer will be making his first ap- pearance against a worthy foe since taking the title from Primo Car nera.
 Sports writers wonder what to call tonight's engagement. The Illinois State Athletic Commission has insisted that the champions title not be at stake, but both men will use siX-ounce gloves, indicat- ing that they intend to make a fight of it.
 The Kingfishs only hope, then, of turning the exhibition into championship verdict. is for him 50 knock out the Califoinia pride.
