each year, by an unprecedented
committee, for their biographies to

cents in American Universities
and Colleges. These books are
placed in the hands Of hundreds
of companies and others who an
rually recruit outstanding students
for employment.
The purpose of Who's Who is to
serve as an incentive for students

pensation to students for what they
lave done, as d recommendation

when you know the war wife spent
her last anniversary going to a
movie with another woman?
DON'T BE TOO CRITICAL
Do you realize that she may
feel resentful toward you if you
criticize the behavior of another
war wife, since you can't possibly
fully appreciate the problems of
woman left alone?
Do you stop yourself before you
have told her about the husband
of a friend of yours who had his
arm blown off in Sicily?
Do you remember always to ask
about her husband when you see
her on the street or at parties, and
do you really listen when she
starts to tell you news of him?
Do you realize that she probably
won't find anything funny in hui
morous remarks about the women
her husband may be meeting?

those questions-you needn't wor-
ry that you're irritating the war

Antique Shoes
Provide Ideas
For Moderns
BY BETTY PROSSER

CHICAGO. - Designers who are
ilying to develop non rationed
shoes could take SOME hints from
styles of the 18th, 18th and 18th
centuries
A display of antique shoes at
the Chicago Art Institute features
tootgear made mostly of cloth or
wood, with leather and metal used
sparingly. And one idea popular
in the 10Th century has been adopt
ed by present-day manufacturers
the hinged wooden sole.
On sale at enc of Chicago's
smart booteries is play shoe,
non-rationed, from Switzerland. It's
wooden sole is hinged at the ball
Of the foot, and cushioned with re-
movable and replaceable leather
discs, which act as spring and
eliminate clatter.
Nineteenth century ladies wore
clogs with hinged soles to protect
their slippers. The shoes fit onto
the clogs, the latter serving much
es our rubbers and galoshes do.
The 43 pairs of shoes on exhibit
are part of a collection given to
the institute by Mrs. J. Ogden Ar,
nour, who purchased them abroad.
They include heavily embroidered
silk shoes; dainty mules popular
around 1870 which feature petit
point embroidery and silver toe
caps; silk slippers decorated with
silver thread: carved wooden sa-
bots e1crusted with colored stones.
Some resemble elves shoes, with
pointed, upturned toes. These were
the rage with French ladies of the
18th century, and were made of
cloth intricately scrolled with en-
broidery. Many were lined with
white kid.
The first heel or elevation was
used in the late 18th century.

The work is done in strange

by the Michigan Public Service Co.
In high school she took mechan.

said is that she works with maps.
