JTTT.V 9, LOCATED THE MISSING SHOES Passenger-Who Had on Wrong Pair Admitted Thinking That They Felt "Pretty Tight." , Mr. D. of North Pennsylvania street tells of a near tragedy, or . some thing; akin to it, which occurred a on a' morning train few davs ago coming in from Chicago, relates ths He had occupied an upper' berth, and-when he arose found that his shoes had disappeared. A pair not his own were where his -should have been, but they evidently belonged to the occupant of the lower berth. The porter was called, but his most ; diligent search failed to locate the ! missing shoes. The train was rapid I ly speeding toward Indianapolis, and witn visions of arriving stocking footed, Mr. D. was in a most unenvi able state of mind. About that time a portly little man sauntered down the aisle, stopped and began to assemble his possessions perparatory to detraining. "What's the excitement" he inquired,, becom ing interested in the search. "Why, this ; man's lost his shoes," said the anxious porter. "You don't suppose you-all might 'a mistook them frr yours, do you?" Then the portly party took a look at his feet and discovered that he had. "Well," said he, considerably cha grined, "I thought that the pesky things felt pretty tight." And then.there occurred a hasty ex change of shoes just as the train pulled into the station. MAKE SKILLFUL AUTO DRIVERS African Natives Conduct Vehicles Along Jungle Tracks After Short Term of Apprenticeship. It is natural that since automobiles have found their way into every part of the world, the drivers would vary in appearance, and in attire or lack of attire, according to the customs of the countries in which the motor car is I called to do service. ""If you were to walk along the road leading from the west coast of equatorial Africa several hundred miles into the interior, for would be evident that the high cost of clothing would bother him not one whit. These natives become full fledged chauffeurs within three or four weeks from the time they see their first motor vehicle. The trucks, of which there are about 200. maintain regular schedules as feeders to a large steamship line plying between west African ports and Europe and Amer ica. They are loaded with men and supplies on the inland trips, and with cocoa products, .palm oil. hides, and rubber bound for the coast. . Parasite Spreads D'sease. A peculiar disease that is still con fined chiefly to certain river valleys of Japan, but suggests . possibilities of breaking loose as a widespread epi demic, has been a subject of recent in vestigation. It is known as "tsut-' sugamushi, JUIU J .11 iUIMllil If (J I IV Hit "nkamushi." an insect parasite of cer r tain field mice. It is a fever striking ly similar to typhus and Rocky mount ain spotted fevers. The investigators i have learned that itsfhief occurrence is in the months of June to October, which is the time of development of the insect carriers, and the season when the peasant victims of the dis ease -are brought into contact with the mice. The mortality, though very variable, sometimes exceeds 50 pe cent. Under existing conditions, bites by the insects cannot he wholly avoided, and cutting cut the bitten part does not prevent the spread of the, virus, while such remedies as iodine, mercury, arsenic, quinine and dyes have proven ineffective. The only hope of stamping out the disease seems to rest in the extermination of the field mice. J Repairing U-Boat Damages. If British shipbuilding has not yet reached pre-war figures the world has done wonderful things in ship produc tion in the last twelve months. The total tonnage launched was 7,144,549, according to Lloyd's Register, and the British share was 1,620,000 tons. The feature of the returns is the expan sion of shipbuilding in the United States and in Japan. The former ap- pears at the head of the table with 57 per cent, of t,he world's output, and more than twice the tonnage built in the United Kingdom. Japan, with 611,800 tons launched, has built more shipping in one year than it did -in the 22 years to 1913. Far-Seeing Woman Reformer. In noting the fact that Susan B. Anthony was born a hundred years ago, it is interesting also to remem ber that every considerable reform of which she was an advocate has come to pass, says the New York Sun. She fought for the abolition of slavery, for total abstinence land for. equal suffrage. Slavery disappeared when she was still in her most active years. When she died, in 1906, many of the states had agreed with her views on prohibition and votes for women.
