Army to Try Shoes
With Composition SoIes

To keep down the costs and to
experiment further with substitutes
for leather soles, the Army has de-
cided to buy a quantity of shoes
with cord, cork and rubber compost
ton soles. according to an an
nouncement by Donald M. Nelson
defense director of purchases.
While the average price of Army
shoes at present is about s3.30-as
compared with an average of $2.47
a year ago-Mr. Nelson said that
shoes with leather soles cost an
average Of S3.35 a pair as against
an average of $3.15 for those with
composition soles.
The higher leather sole cost. Mr.
Nelson explained, is due to what
the trade describes as slightly higher

 Is0n Again

In the Arctic regions to continue their scientific research on the his tory of man on the North American continent, three noted scientists Drs Henry Shapiro. Louis Giddings and Froelich Rainey are now on the Bering Sea coast headed for the an cient ruins of Ipiutak, near Point Hope.
 Working in conjunction with the American Museum of Natural Ills tory of New York City the three scientists will continue the investi- eational work started in 1889 and l94O when the ruins were first dis covered.
 Called Ipiutak, the ruins are sit uated on the northern slope of the long. narrow Point Hope peninsula, CT bar. Rainey, Giddings and Helge Larsen. Danish scientist, first dis covered them in 1889 but their eX- tent was not known until further investigations were made in 1940. Even now, the exact extent IS ioo known but Dr. Rainey expressed the opinion that the ancient village may have been as large as Anchorage, says the Anchorage Alaskan. Scien- tific data of inestimable value is ex- pected to be uncovered during the explorations this year. The Ipiutak ruins are thought to be the oldest yet unearthed in Alaska.
 Giddings will also do some arch geological work on the Kobuk river near Shungnak. He is an archaeolo- gist of long standing, much of his time having been spent in Arizona. New Mexico, Old Mexico and Gen. tral America. He spent last winter at the University of Arizona.
