WOODEN SHOES MAY
HAVE TO BE WORN
(Boston Transcrip)
It is not impossible as time goes on,
that the quotations of the leather mar
ket will take second place to those of
substitutes for leather, since the in
crease in such materials is assuming
large proportions. At present the sub
stitutes are combinations of staple
materials and by products, both of
which are produced by certain estab
lished industries; but more and more
the substitute material will become an
article of commerce, hence a "market”
may result.
It is not assured, even with an in
creasing use of leather substitutes,
that the adoption of “clogs” of wood
would not be desirable; the same to
be used in both city and country. Eng
land is amking use of them and many
London children are wearing them to
and from school, and it has been sug
gested that the factory workers in
Lancashire and Yorkshire might adopt
them with advantage. The wooden
“sabot” is by no means going out of
fashion in England and in Europe, and
it is by no means improbable that an
increased use of those solid shoes may
continue after the war.
The wooden shoe or sabot could be
widely used in this country to the com
fort of many, and the extension of the i
service of leather or substitute boots.
The many chores that the householder!
is obliged to do about a suburban or
country home necessitates a heavy
kind of shoe, and the sabot where
tested, has proved its worth.

GRUESOME FIND ON
ARISTABLE ISLAND
In a deserted shack, in the bush on
Aristable island, near to Surf inlet,,
Capt. Tom Peterson found the dead
body of a man. There was no stove
or utensils in the shack, and judging
from the clothing worn by the dead
man, it is probable he had been there
since last summer.
He had no gun, although there were
empty shells lying around outside, but
his clothing carried two watches.
There were some papers on the body
too, but they had gotten wet, and were
undecipherable. Such was the .story
told by Captain Tom Peterson last
night. The matter has been reported
to the provincial police department.
Captain Peterson buried the body, be-'
fore he left the island, and judging
from the length of the dead man’s hair
which was five or six inches long, he
must have been away from the cen
ters of civilization for some consider
able period.—Rupert News.
AT THE EMPRESS.
Doubtless the Empress theatre pat
rons recall with the beautiful Metro
Pictures presented only recently. They
were excellent in every respect and de
serevd the well-merited praise accord
ed them.
This Saturday evening, the Empress
will present another Metro beauty, an
absorbing five-part feature entitled
“The Wheel of the Law,” dealing with
the fallibility of circumstantial evi
dence. It is timely and distinctly nov
el and offers splendid opportunities
for Miss Emily Stevens to display her
unusual talent. In this photoplay |
Miss Stevens is seen in the role of a
famous actress, her own character in
real life, and then as the wife of the
District Attorney, who is ready to sac
rifice everything to his blind belief in
circumstantial evidence and his guber
natorial aspirations. A comedy in
conjunction with “The Wheel of the
Law,” offers a big bill for this even
ing.
Read the combination for Sunday
and Monday, May 13 and 14. It is
The Hearst-Pathe News and “The
Juggernaut,” the colossus of modern
Railway Drama, presetinngl’xrbgfro
Railway Drama, presenting Earl Wil
liams and Anita Stewart. “The Jug
gernaut,” is a tremendous spectacle
replete with striking photographic ef
fects, thrilling scenes and amazing
climax that staggers belief. The
Hearst-Pathe News service direct
from studio to the Empress theatre is
a feature in itself. 24

were 3G7 savings accounts to every 1.000 of population in Germany, 379 out of 1,000 in France, 342 out of 1,000 in the United Kingdom, but only 218 |
out of 1,000 in the United States. In other words, there were nearly twice jus many savers, in a given number, among the people of these European |
powers, as there were in the United States! No wonder they have been able to astonish the United States by the way they have financed the more @
than forty billion dollars already invested in the war. THEY WERE BETTER SAVERS THAN WE. We can well learn from their example and |
