In Berlin, wooden shoes regain popularity among schoolchildren due to leather shoe scarcity and high prices. Authorities encourage their use, offering premiums to children partially or fully supported, with hundreds of pairs sold cheaply. The pantine tradition dates to Prussia, where edicts against wooden footwear persisted yet never erased its rural appeal. A California watchman uses a large periscope to monitor trains at a curved, obstructed crossing nearby.
