Rome, Feb 22 (Correspondent of the Associated Press)?"A barefooted Europe is not improbable if this war continues," said John F Stucke, vice president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Italy and general manager of an American shoe machinery company, in an interview concerning supply and business conditions met by Americans abroad. "At the present time a pair of heavy mountain shoes lasts a soldier but six weeks,"he said. "These shoes have their heels and soles studded with nails at that. The shoes are largely made in Italy but with American machinery and American leather, and the quality of the materials is the best we can furnish, but that quality is of course inferior to that sold before the war. When manufactured by the hundred thousand these shoes cost the government ibout four dollars each. But the supply is always behind the demand, 3ince materials arrive very slowly from America. On one ship, the Palmero. which was torpedoed in the Mediterranean, off the coast ofSpain, in early December, the material for nearly half million pairs of shoes was lost. "The retail store trade in Italy is now obliged to pay nearly $.7 wholesale frip chnps that. hefnre the war :osl. $3.50 and it is probable that American shoes will be selling in Italy 3oon for $10 and $12 the pair. The American shoes, because of their 3hape and fit have long been the chief product on the market here, and particularly since the war, as the handmade shoe cannot be made quickly enough."

When one has the same caddie at golf for several days running, it is natural to be interested in his personal and home affairs. Such an interest in one of the caddies at Camden, S C, this winter led to this conversation: "Your father living, Zeke?" "Oh, ysssir; my ole man livin'." "Does he work?" "Oh, yassir, he wukin', now." "What does he do?" "Well, cap'n, my ole man he used to be a Methodis' preacher; den he ijuit an' got to be a Presbyterian preacher; an' bimebye he quit dat an' got to be a Bapti9' preacher." "Is he a Baptist preacher now?" "No, cap'n; he all right now, suh, :ie's a caddie, up at Pinehurst."?' New York Post. ?e - - ----- ' jHH CHEATED WIND AND SAND. M * SB Mow Franco Conquorod tho Shifting Dunoo of tho Bay of Biscay. IBB How France subdued her shifting land dunes is of a piece with Hoi- B land's conquering the 9ea. MM? A hundred years ago France .^^B awoke to the liideous threat contain- I ed in tho sands of the bay of Bis- * cay, covering a coast line of 300 -1 miles. To such an exient were the sands being blown inland that the ^^B most fertile portion of the country B was threatened. Finally, years lat- 1 er, came the idea of a great lateral J dune along the entire coast as a vj means of checking the encroaching destroyer. 1 So France set to work in earnest | and after fairly starting found a \ I willing helper in nature, which coA- * J pleted the task. The entire coast line was fringed by a fence, consist- i ing of posts driven into the ground at close intervals, and the spaces between them were interwoven with willow branches and brush. So<fl? the strong winds blowing in from the ocean banked a great wall against this fence? and eventually. it was entirely covered sand. Then a second line 0/ fence was erected on the small lateral dune thus created. In time this fence was covered by the sand which banked up against it. This operation was repeated many times, and then othe:r means of increasing the size of the dune were used. Native ^ grasses that thrive in sandy soil wpta nlsntftd alorn? the ton of the. """ X O - f ? ;? dune. This served to keep its height as uniform as possible by preventing the winds from carving Indentations in the fac% of the pil|^ fcine trees were planted along the top. These sejved to check the wind blown sand as the fences had done in past years, and day by day the dune grew in height and widened out. As it increased in size more pine trees were planted. Today a great forest 2,500,000 acres in extent fringes the coast line as the result of this initial experiment. It represents France's greatest supplv house of turpentine and lumber. The country lying inland from it is rich and fertile. The sand menace has disappeared, and it cannot return.?Argonaut. -> A Tiring Task. Instead of reprimanding the office boy for soldiering over his work the manager unctuously requested him to count the ticking of the clock for five minutes. For five minutes the K/vir AAiin^A/l Af 4-Vm loaf VIA UUT WUUlllWi VliV 1U>JV avvvuu attacked his work with unusual earnestness, and for the rest of the day his interest never flagged. "That is a scheme they tried on me when I was a youngster and inclined to be lazy/' the manager said. "To this day I do not know the secret of its success, but I know that to deliberately count the ticking of a clock will cure the worst spell of indolence."?New York Sun. Th? Chines* Language. The Chinese language is the chief among the small class of language? which include the Tibetan, Cochin Chinese, Burmese, Korean and Chinese and which is usually described as monosyllabic. It is language in its most primitive form. Every word is a root, and every root is a word. It is without inflection or ^ even agglutination. Its subs tan-' tives are indeclinable, and its verbs are not to be conjugated. It ia destitute of an alphabet, in the sense in which other languages have an alphabet, and finds ita expression on paper in thousands of distinct symbols or picture forms. A Witty Scot. At an auction sale in a Scotland village the auctioneer was trying to sell a number of domestic utensils, including a porridge pot. As usual, he was making a great fuss. Finishing, his keen eye caught a well known worthy, the beadle, standing at the back of the crowd, and he shouted out: "HT.-ivator AfpTaviflh mako an of fer for this pot! Why, it would make a splendid kirk bell!" "Aye," replied the beadle, "if your tongue was in it!" Preparing For the Woret. "My dear, I think you ought to learn to make beds and sweep and ^ cook a little." "Why, mamma?" "Well, every year the servant girl problem gets worse and worse, and even though you should marry a' millionaire you never know when you may have to do your own housework for a day or two."?Detroit Free Press. Pleasures Out of Season. "Everything comes to him who . waits," remarked the ready made philosopher. "Yes," replied Farmer Corntossel. "But the patient man don't always get things when to needs them.
