Hut the hidy from the South did
not by miy menus rob tho city of Its highest-priced footgeur, uccording to
representatives of fashionable bootmakers. Tor Instunce, tiny Indulgent hu
band may pay $7.1 for his wife's simple, black evening slippers with rhinestone
Jieels to twinkle In the dauco uud trample on the heart of man. Itut it Is not
necessary to pay so much even for elaborate footwear. A nice, quiet pair of
lioots for a windy day may be had for $ -15. The vamps of these shoes are of
jiiii'ple-l.lne metallic kid aud the tops are light green, embroidered with dull
Ted llowers. Then there Is n pink kid short-vamp shoe, with tho top cmbrold
'red In gold, w hich l.s only $13.
Having one's boots made with short vamps makes them more expensive
because the model Is French and Amerleiin bootmakers find difficulty la
copying It. I'or this reason u great many-women are "going lu" for tho nhort
vamps nowadays. It costs real money for society women to bo well shod.
According to a well-known bootmaker, the average woman hus a pair of shoes
for every dress she wears, some customers buying as many as 100 pulrs a yeur.
"Our customers order from six to eight pairs of shoes at a time," said
the bootmaker, "at an average price of $10 per pair. Of course, simple sports
boots, and evening slippers made from customer's own materlul cost less.
J'rlces ure going up every day. The only thing for the women to do if rtiey
want their footwear to he less expensive is to have their skirts so long they
ran wear pumps or low shoes."
Boston Post Office Uncle Sam Does Not Own
BOSTON". When sailor boys strike Boston, the first place they lay a course
for, after they get shore leave, Is a little post office, us It were, In Water
utreet, Cliarlestown, which is not under federal Jurisdiction. The post otliee
consists of a wooden case, with a glasn
door about four inches deep and about
2't or 30 Inches In its other dimensions.
It is fastened on the wall of the game
room, on the second floor of the Sull
ors' Haven.
Over it presides Miss Helen Hunt,
the mat roti of that genuine home,
which serves the purpose of keeping
young Urltish apprentices uud others
not so young off the street corners
and all that goes with them, and fur
nishes a lounging place for them In
their "hours of ease." This post oflice. of which the gluss door is padlocked,
seldom contains more than or ;!5 letters at a time. There Isn't room to
arrange more than that on display. Then they're gathered up by the con
signees just about us fast us they're arranged.
Hut sometimes, so great apparently is the world-wide faith In the depot
for letters, and so great is a boy's habit of not going just exactly where he
announced, letters are not called for. So, stretching back, in instances for a
couple of years, many letters have been docketed and stowed away by Miss
Hunt.
The docketing Isn't really necessary, for years of jiractice and acquired
familiarity with the characteristics epistolary and otherwise of her "boys"
lias made Miss Hunt able to track much-wanted letters at a moment's notice.
Her great big heart helps, as well as her head, in this.
The eyes of n philatelist would he interested in a glance at this case on

Convict at Columbus Makes Rubber and Dyes
COIXMBUS. O. With a crude homemade laboratory, which he has set up
on his desk in the penitentiary llhrary, Dr. Emerich W. Hitter, formerly
ii Cleveland chemist, claims he Is extracting ruhher, tannin and a red dye
from the hark of the chu tung tree,
frown In China.
The department of agriculture Is
assisting him in his experiments, he
ays. It shipped him five pounds of
the bark, the first ever sent to this
country, after Doctor Hitter says he
pointed out to the department thut
the hark contained ruhber.
The man, who startled the country
on his arrival at the penitentiary last
year by his Inventions of "liquid lire"
and aniline dyes, declares that not
only has he extracted a rubber of remarkable resiliency fm the bark, but
tannin, used in the tunning industry, and a dye the exact color of the dye
used in the two-cent stamp.
From a pound of the bark Doctor Hitter says he obtains two ounces of
crude rubber, four and one-half ounces of tannin and three-fourths of an
ounce of coloring matter.
Doctor Hitter says he was first attracted to the possibilities of the chu
tung bark while in China 1;" years ago as a 'member of the Germany nu . A
great flood of the Jan-Toche-Kiang and Pei-IIo rivers, in whose valleys thei
trees grow, destroyed thousands of them and he noted then the resiliency of
the burk.

Mr. Friestedt didn't hear"
anything about it until some days
later. Then one of his own servant
came to him with a hair-raising tale
about some mysterious noises and
moanings that came from the walls In
Various parts of the house.
"Nonsense," replied Mr. Friestedt.
Then a night or two later, just
around dinnertime, Mr. Friestedt
heard a terrible clatter in the kitchen;
Ilefore lie could get up from Ids chair
all the servants in the place had de
serted the kitchen and were flowing in panic toward the front of the house.
" Sinatter?" demanded Mr. Friestedt.
"Spooks," was the reply. "We heard him walking along between the
walls and then get up bet ween the celling and the floor. All of a suddint he
fave a moaning squawk and that was too much."
'Let's see about it," said Mr. Friestedt, as he led everybody down into
the basement. He opened the door of the fruit cellar. And sitting among
a lot of overturned jars with its face all smeared with 'jam was a baby
raccoon.
And Mr. Friestedt got the surprise of his life when he went to capture It.
The raccoon fought all the servants and the master of tle house to a staud

Sir. Friestedt called up Cy De Vry to make him a present of it.

Washington, D. C. Armed neutrali
ty is described by authorities on Inter
national law as military measures for
the purpose of defending rights of
neutrals on the part of a belligerent.
It has generally concerned more than
one power and the most striking his
torical Instances of armed neutralities
were those of the northern European
powers in 17S0 and 1S00, made to de
fend the principle of free ships and
free goods, adopted by treaty between
the linltic powers aud opposed by
England.
"If the commercial interests of sev
eral nations," says one authority,
"are threatened by unjust or unlawful
measures on the part of a belligerent,
which they deem unjust or dangerous,
there can be no question of their right
to secure their menaced interests by
such combinations as seem best cal
culated to accomplish that purpose.
An armed neutrality Is In fact an al
liance of several powers, usually of a
defensive character, though this is by
no means essentlul."
During the present war Holland and
Switzerland have maintained what
amounts to an armed neutrality, al
though It has been confined to land.
Adopted in Revolutionary Times.
Armed neutrality was adopted by
several European states soon after
1778, when, In connection with the
American Revolutionary war, war
broke out between France and Spain
and France nnd Great Britain. Neu
trals became alarmed over the dan
gers with which their maritime rights
were threatened and the empress of
Russia undertook to unite them In de
fense of their neutrui rights. This
formed the basis of treaties between
Russia, Denmark, Sweden, Holland,
Austria and Portugal. They formed a
league which, under the name of
eruied neutrality, undertook to pre
serve Inviolate the maritime rights
of neutrals. These declarations were
recognized by the treaty of peace be
tween Great Britain and France and
were the established law of nations
when the United States In 1783 was
recognized as Independent by the pow
ers of the world.
The Inst time the United States
was in a state of armed neutrality was
In the war between France and Eng
land and that ended with the downfall
of Napoleon.
After many acts against American
commerce bound for England, Frnnce,
on January 18, 1708, decreed that ev
ery vessel found at sen loaded with
merchandise produced In England or
her possessions could be made a prize.
Many American vessels were seized,
and in June, 1708, President Adams
began to obtain from congress broad
authority to protect American com
merce nnd to put the United States
In a better position to make war if it
became necessary.
Laws Quickly Passed.
In rapid succession laws were made
thorlze a provisional army, to arrest
and expel aliens, to authorize the de
fense of merchant ships against
French war vessels und to enable the
president to borrow money. July 7,
1708, President Adams approved an
act reciting that since treuties repeat
edly had been violated by France, just
claim for reparation refused and a
system of "predatory violence" pur
sued by the French government, the
United States was "of right freed and
exonerated from the stipulations of
the treaties" und that these compacts
should not henceforth be regarded as
legally obligatory on the government
or citizens of the United States.
Later in the same year further pro
vision was made for augmenting the !
army and George Washington accept
ed the chief command. The attorney
general held that In view of the acts
of France and the legislation by con
gress there not only existed "an actual
maritime war between France and the
United States, but a maritime war au
thorized by both nations."
The difficulty with France was not
settled for many years. Thirty years
later France agreed to pay 25,000.000
francs (15,000,000) to satisfy American
claims, although many years before
that time her depredations on Ameri
can commerce and American reprisals
had ceased.
From All Parts of Country Connectl.
cut Men Sign Up State Leads in
Production of Munitions and
In Preparedness.
Middletown, Conn. Tho people ol
Connecticut, the first state lu the couu
try to undertake a military census of
men und munitions available In case
of war, showed such enthusiasm In the
work that the fondest hopes of Gov,
Marcus II. Holcomb, originator of the
plan, have been far surpassed.
1'uiiy In February the governor sum
moned the mayors uud first selectmen
of every city, town and village lu tha
state to a conference In Hartford and
a plan was outlined which resulted
the speedy execution of the governor'
plan for a militury census.
Enrollment blanks were rushed
through the state printing plunt uud
within 48 hours the governor had up
pointed men in each community to act
as census officers.
A week later everything was In
working order and the census was well
under way. Old men, middle-aged men
and even boys came forward and
signed the blanks without waiting for
tho census tukers to look them up In
their homes. In some of the outlying
communities the census officers made
the rouuds of the Isolated farmhouse;)
In automobiles, signing up every avail
able male.
As fast as the blanks were signed
they were rushed to Hurtford, where
a corps of trained Insurance auditors
with recording machines, tubulated
and distributed them under the proper
headings meanwhile keeping accurate
account of the number received. Iu
this way as fast as the blanks cahie
In the count was kept up to the min
ute.
The system was installed and
worked out within 24 hours ufter the
governor's call by a well-known Hart
ford Insurance uctuary, who took com
plete charge of the execution of thtj
work.
Like Senator Fall's Bill.
The acts of congress In 1708 were
in the aggregate somewhat like the
bill Introduced in the senute recently
by Senator Fall. The president then
was authorized to instruct and direct
commanders of United States war ves
sels to seize and bring into any port
of the United States any armed vessel
found hovering on the coasts of the
United States and committing depre
dations on American ships. They also
were instructed to retake any cap
tured American ship.
Another, act authorized merchant
ships to be armed and to take the
same steps against foreign war ves
sels. Communication with France was
forbidden and French vessels were
prohibited from entering the ports of
the United States.
The bill introduced by Senator Fall
authorizes the president to "Instruct
und direct the commanders of the
armed vessels belonging to the United
States to extend protection to the ves
sels and property of the citizens of the
United States and to seize, take and
bring Into port or to destroy if unable
to seize any such armed vessels of
either of the central powers and par
ticularly of the imperial German gov
ernment which shall have committed
or which shall be found threatening to
commit depredations on the vessels
belonging to the citizens of the United
States or contrary to international law
committing or threatening to commit
depredations upon other vessels upon
which are being conveyed citizens to
the United States or their property,
and also to retake any ship or vessel
of any citizen or citizens of tne United
States which may have been captured
by any such armed vessel of the said
central powers or either of them."
Against Search and Seizure.
It also would provide for defense of
vessels against search and seizure nnd
in the event of a declaration of war
against the United States or of Immi
nent danger of war before the session
of the next congress would authorize
the president to rnise an additional
to Increase the naval armament, to au-1 army of 500,000 men
Connecticut's Sons Respond.
From all parts of the country Con
necticut's sons have either returned
or sent for enrollment blanks. Men
who have not been iu their native1
towns for years except for the holi
days have of their own volition reJ
turned and signed up. Each seems
anxious to do his bit in some way.
The scope of the work to be ac
complished has been considerably wid
er than was at first Intended and the
blanks have been broadened to take iu
any qualification which the applicant
may have which would be valuable 1nl
case of war.
If a man has any serious disabil
ity he will not be taken for actuul
field duty, but If he has certain qual
ifications which do not conflict with
his disability, he will be assigned to
a post where he can best be used.
Factories are quickly being surveyed
for war. Machinery placed in reserve
is being set up. Plans for quick build
ing of additions to warehouses and
docks are ready to be carried out at
a moment's notice.
Railroad bridges in Connecticut on
the through line from Boston to New
York are heavily guarded by militia
men. All big railroad shipping points
are swarming with augmented forces
of railroad detectives and armed
guards. The strategic value of the
railroad route from New York
through Bridgeport, New Haven, Mid
dletown and Wllllmuntic is obvious.
The entire line Is under constant sur
veillance and extra rolling stock is be
ing assembled in the yards at New
Haven, to be used when needed.
The huge munition plants of
Bridgeport, New Haven and Water
bury are, as in the past, under heavy
guard.
Connecticut considers herself the ar
senal of the nation and It Is fully alive
to its responsibilities. Bridgeport, for
lnstnnce, produces cartridges, fuses,
shell cases, artillery, rifles and inauy
tools necessary to the mauufacture of
munitions of all kinds.
Leads In Munitions.
New Haven turns out practically the
same line of goods as Bridgeport.
Hartford Is the home of factories
which turn out automatic revolvers,
machine guns, rapid fire guns, gun
making machinery, and the city also
houses the state arsenal.
New Britain turns out all sorts of
machinery, shell cases, fuse cases, sad
dlery, etc., while in Middletown a great
plant Is running day and night making
cartridge belts, bolsters and uniform
cloth for the United States army ex
clusively. In the little town of Rockfall the
woolen mills there are preparing to
enlarge their facilities for making
blankets.
Yachtsmen throughout the state are
gettipg their craft In shape to be used
as patrol boats and submarine chasers.
Connecticut has led the country both
in production of munitions und pre
paredness of a practical kind and the
outcome of the census Is watched with
great interest by official Washington
and the rest of the nation.

does not Inflame or even Irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think! You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without a bit of pnln or soreness.
If your druggist hasn't freezone he car.

Canada Offers 160 Acres
Free to Farm Hands
Bonus of Western Canada Land to Men Assisting in
Maintaining Needed Grain Production
The demand for farm labor in Canada is great As an inducement
to secure the necessary help at once, Canada will give
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES OF
LAND FREE AS A HOMESTEAD
and allow the time of the farm laborer, who has filed on the land, to
apply as residence duties, the same as if he actually had lived on it.
Another special concession is the reduction of one year in the time
to complete duties. Two years instead of three as heretofore, but
only to men working on the farms for at least six months in 1917.
This appeal for farm help is in no way connected with enlistment
for military service but solely to increase agricultural output. A won

time. Information as to low railway rates may be had on application to
