Nebraska women
make wood shoes
'Puddle Jumpers' gain
national popularity
Cottonwoods along the Platte
river gave Columbus, Neb., its
most unusual indur y, that of
making wooden soled shoes. The
Reece Wooden Sole Shoe company
sends its special patterned ve
neered wooden soled shoes all
over the world. Although the
local wood supply is now dimin
ished, Genevieve and Dorthea
Reece continue manufacturing
their now famous wooden soled
shoes with wood shipped in from
other sections of the country.
First manufactured for indus
trial use in Dodge motor factories,
creameries, and other such fac
tories in need of heavy, long wear
ing, water proof shoes for their
employes, these "Puddle Jumpers"
have leaped into the front ranks
of women's shoes.
About 14 persons are employed
In the Reece factory to meet the
demand for these shoes, which has
increased considerably since they
have been designed for practical
wear by women. Altho like the
Dutch wooden shoe in appearance,
"Puddle Jumpers" are light weight
with a a "rocking" sole to make
walking easy.

With spring comes

cops' night sticks
Sereeant Regler looked out his
window yesterday and saw for the
first time this year the nine ronin
that was a regular patron of his
bird bath last year, and decifieu
that the busy season for campus
police was about here.
The robin sat on tne ience ior
some time singing ana maiting a
racket generally, until Regler
went out and filled the bath.
Regler went back in and began
to thing about life and some or
the things which led to contem
plation of his busiest lime or. me
year spring, in tne spring iwvns
like' to linger on tne campus auer
the alloted time 10:30, and strict
vierilance on the part of the night
patrol to keep them away is some
times necessary, Regler said.
Transients also like to sleep on
the well kept lawns of tne oiu

In it Mudge and L. F. Living
ston, director of agricultural ex
tension for du Pont, see an indus
trial boom for the middle west.
The chemistry that may remake
the middle west is not that involv
ing coal, but cellulose. Cellulose,
in general, is anything that grows.
It is found in a desirable form in
cotton, cornstalks, and wood.
What is more natural than that
industry should grow up where
there is a vast supply of cellulose ?
All agricultural waste products
and many now unheard of crops
will provide it. "It's got to come,"
said Livingston. "It may be soon
within five or ten years."
N. U. needs research.
If Nebraska wants to speed the
chemical miracle, Livingston
thinks, it had beter provide
money for research. The state uni
versity should get all the money
it can use for research. Every dol
lar so invested, he says, will bring
back a good many dollars.
Yes, Mudge and Livingston con
clude, cellulose chemistry is going
to turn the tide of industry west

restoring farm prosperity.

FIVE sophomores at a New England university had
heen assigned to report on the residential districts of
a southern city, its principal products and the location
of its plantations.
Hour after hour they thumbed through Look after
book in the library all to no avail. Then one of them
had a happy idea why not telephone the city's Mayor?
They did and in a few minutes had all the informa
tion they needed.
No matter what the question in college, in social
life, in business you'll find the telephone is often
the quickest, most economical way to get the answer.
