Planes and Troops in Bat- file Gear Invade Cdp-

By ROBERT ST. JOHN Associated Press Correspondent)


 SOFIA, March 1.-German troops drove into Bulgaria in grey ar mored cars today.
 Wearing regulation battle dress, steel helmets and complete regula- tion battle kit, they reached the center of the capital late in the day. Troops carrying rifles, gas masks and the heavy packs of bat tie gear, rolled through the main streets, past the German legation. Swarms Of German fighter planes winged over the city. Circling low enough for their swistika markings to be seen plainly, they arrived only a few hours after Buigaria's state ment at Vienna formally announced that that country had joined the Axis
 A Junkers transport, presumably carrying infantrymen, flew less than a thousand feet over the Ger man legation, then swooped down to an airdrOme.
 Transport planes in great num- bers followed.
 German firms began to unfurl Swastika flags as police cleared the main avenues of approach to the city, indicating heavy troop transport outside the capital.

WASHINGTON is the in- teresting story of little man on the Defense Commission who. like the one on the stair in the verse. on second look wasn't there = and how that cost the Government lot of money in buying Army shoes.
 The little man is Frank M Fol- som, Executive Vice-PreSident of one of Chicago's leading department stores, formerly Vice-PreSident of Montgomery Ward, and one of the greatest merchandisers in the coun- try. That he wasn't there when the bite was put on the Government was not his fault, but that's ahead of the story.
 It really begins g years ago, when Folsom returned from France as a First Sergant in the Air Corps. As he was mustered out of the service, he made solemn resolve:
 That if ever there was another national emergency, and he could do anything about it, he would see that the men who did the fighting had shoes that fitted, uniforms that didn't look like burlap sacks, and blankets that were long enough to cover the feet.
 Last fall, Falsom got the chance to gratify this ambition when his old Sears, Roebuck business rival and close friend. Procurement Di- rector Donald Nelson, summoned him to Washington as dollar-a- year expert to help clothe the new selective service army.
 In five months Folsom supervised the placing Of more than $100,000.- 009 worth of orders. and made a number of money-saving innova- tions in the Army's buying practices. One of these was in the purchase of shoes-2, 1897 .OO0 pairs. of every pos sible length and width, at a saving of around $50 pair under what the Army paid in 19l7-18.

HOW IT WAS DONE

Folsom accomplished this feat by the device of asking large number of shoe manufacturers all over the country for informal bids covering the number of shoes they could make.
 Under the old system. the Army announced it was in the market for so many pairs of shoes and asked for bids, which gave the edge to few big firms who could deliver con- tracts of such size in the time speci- fled. Small companies couldn't cope with such giant orders, but Folsom $ plan made it possible for them to get contracst of medrate size on an equal price footing with the big fellows.
 Under his method of informal ne- gotiated bids, IT shoe plants in New England, the Midwest and the South got nice slices of the 2,397 900 pairs a prices ranging from low of $2.65 to high of s2.97, averaging $2.83 a pair or about $50 less than the World War price.

so much fun that the letter of the law
seldom holds sway.
Umpires officiating at the National
Championships are in just as hot
spot as they are in most other sports.
Surrounded by packed and critical
stands, they have to know their stuff.
Officials go through period of train
ing for their jobs which, though rot
remunerative, gives them the distinc-
tion of having certificates of prof.
cheney issued to them to establish their
envied status.
The singles version of Switchboard
is called the Walking Game" be-
cause the contestants walk back and
forth from one end of the court to
the other. Recently a proposal was
made to allow singles players to re-
main at one end and shoot the whole
game from there, the disks being
showed back to them as required. This
was defeated by the old folks as
being too much of a lazy mans
proposition.
To make the sport still harder, some
of the more expert shutters play the
Combination Came" in which it is
necessary, in order to score, to play all
shots with combination, or carom,
shot off another disk. Pure high jinks
is the Sitting down Game" in which
Switchboard is played while sitting
in chairs. The oldsters don't do this
to take it easy. but for the sake of
laughing at each other and at the
awkward plays made from this posi-
tion. But invalids confined to wheel
chairs play this game seriously.
With the various prizes for local,
state and national competitions in
Switchboard, the young people aren't
the only ones these days who can cap
ture a silver cup to put up on the
mantel. Mama and Papa. together
with Granny and Cramps, trium-
phantly bring home cups of their own
if they can reach the difficult status
of being first-rate shutters.
Even if they can't, they don't care
so much. They have a game which,
with its mild physical action, is suited
to them. The soft hiss of shuff1eboard
disks sliding down the courts, the
sharp click Of plaque hitting plaque.
is happy music to the ears of our older
folk all over the country today.
