New Supersoek
Made to OutIive
3 of Old Type

Development of a "supersock"
which will wear up to three times
as long as the present-day male
footwear was announced today by
the United States Rubber Co. with
the prospect of progress in the
foot life of Army infantrymen and
civilians alike.
Pairs of wooden socks treated by
new laboratory process proved
in tests that they survive three
and a half months OF daily wear
for Is hours each day, withstand
ing 80 laulnderings, before develop
ing a hole, the company claimed.
Named 'Kolok," it is not yet
available to the public but will be
made so under license to mems
hosiery manufacturers, the COM
pany stated, and production on the
necessary scale already has begun.
OF the treatment the company
would say nothing, except that fab
ric is immersed in a bath Of Ger
tain colloidal substances suspended
in water" The appearance Of the
socks is not altered.

prints were formed the volcanic
craters short distance south of the
present city burst into an unusually
violent eruption.
Just before the prints were pro-
duced, he found, volcanic mud
fows-known to vulcanologists as
"lahars" over the plains
around Managua and emptied into
the lake. They may have been
formed due to temporary backing
of the rivers that drain from the
Nicaraguan highlands to the south.
They are remarkably like those
which buried the Roman city of
Herculaneum in 70 AID.
Such flows harden very quickly.
A somewhat similar deposit was
laid down on the slopes of Cassen
Peak in California in 1915, and
within a few hours it was diff
cult to stamp an impression in it
with the feet.
Covered by Cmdcrs.
Very shortly after the prints we're
made perhaps simultaneously
they were covered by a thin veneer
of black cinders. Then followed an
other mud flow, another eruption of
black cinders and then a rapid
succession of thick mud flows.
These last formed the strata now
used as building stone in the city
Of Managua.

Richardson applied to the Mica
raguan government for assistance.
President SomoSa, who had followed
the work with much interest from
the start, arranged for government
engineers to turn the drainage ditch
and has acquired for the govern
ment the land in the direction in
which the footprints are going.
Those now uncovered are to be pro-
tected by a permanent shelter which
will be built by the Carnegie In
Stitution.
The footprints are of two indi-
viduals walking on fairly firm ma
terial and a number of others, just
to their right, who were crossing
mud so soft that their feet sank
in it. Either just before or just after
the humans crossed a large deer,
running at right angles to them, left
his footprints in the mud.
The individuals were fairly small
people, to judge from the size of
their feet. All the prints are of
about the same size. There seem to
have been no children. They ap-
pear to have been running toward
the lake from an eruption. Quarry
men say that all the footprints they
have uncovered in the past were
turned in the same direction.
Underlain by Ash.
DR.. Williams states that before the
footprints were made there prob
ably had been millions of years of
volcanic activity in the neighbor-
hood. The prints are underlain by
hundreds of feet of ash. It may be

vision, ranked other causes of death
as follows: Lungs, 1856, 119 per cent;
malignancy, 1874, lit per cent; di-
gestive system, 102, SO per cent. Tu-
berculosis claimed 80 persons, or ia

covered this soil with ash. Another

layers of soil to be accumulated and
a deep river channel to be cut.

Winston Churchill is the best war
lord England has ever seen," said
Lady oxford and Asquith, the
charming and outspoken widow Of
England's late Prime Minister, who
was lunching with me at the Savoy.
We discussed the war, the peace
that must follow and the men and
women who will make that peace.
I'VE must not repeat the mistakes
we made at the end of the last
war" Lady oxford said. I'VE must
avoid revengeful peace. This time
there must be an agreed. not a die
tated, peace. The best way of get
ting the Germans to disarm is to
kill all the heavy industry in Ger
many. In that way only can we
make 1t impossible for Germany to
plunge us again into war"

the second World War Is over all

eight people sitting around a table

We have all been too prosperous,
thinking too much Of ourselves.
France collapsed because she never
could stand success. Few countries
can"
Lady oxford is rather worried at
the lack of promising younger men
whose task 1t will be to reconstruct
the postwar world.
"A great many of our best young
men were killed off in the last war;"
she said.
