" Wooden Shoes and Automobiles At first thought there seems to be no relation between wooden shoes and automobiles. But one never can tell these days. Wooden shoes play an important part in auto building; indeed. they probably reduce the cost of autos by 6 3-10 cents-if igured out by an efficiency expert. At first the auto companies pro wided high rubber boots for thse msen who did the work; but they soon found, says the Scientific Monthly, that soap and rubber did not agree, and that the bill for rub ber boots was quite an item. And when the war camne on, and the price et rubber soared, indeed, it became quite appalling. So some bright young man got a lot of wooden sabots-brought from Holland or somewhere for actors and tried them out.

Before I knew it had happened, I had fallen hope lessly in love with her. Then I left college for military service and almost two years elapsed before we met again. dur ing this time she let me build my castle, and dream of what I know now will never be. When I was discharged from the service I went approximatejy 1.500 miles to see her. The days I spent with her and her people were the happiest of my life, but no sooner had I gone than I received word from her that as long as another certain man lived and was single she could never think of me any more than an a good friend. She wan my inspiration. my goal. When I learned that she really did not care, it got the better of me; instead of up and ighting like a man to accomplish some good in this world, I gave up the "ship." I went from bad to worse and paid a big price to learn a big lesson. I now find myself back in Uni versity, but like a ship without a rudder. I would like to know if you agree ,ith my conclusion: 'If a person really loves in it's truest aense and that love is killed entirely, he never can in truth love so again." Perhaps I have that yet to learn, but I have met many wonderful youbg ladies in this city, and my mind is still unchanged. NOW ANI THEN. No. I don't agree.

"I must talk-I must tell you." she said finally. Seeing that she was determined to get up. I took her hands and half lifted her over to a chair. Now that Juanita had regained consciousneqI was finding time to think ovir what she had said about Willard. And I probably was just as anxious to have her talk as shte was to talk.
