New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1903-10-07

Savages always walk with their toes
turned in for two reasons. In the first
place the foot naturally falls in that
position when it has never been con-
fined by boots or the ankles distorted
by high heels. In the long stride of the
savage the leg swings freely like a
pendulum round the center of gravity,
which is somewhere between it and
the other leg. In the swing VIE abduc'
tor muscles of the inside Of the thigh
bring the sole of the foot under the
center of gravity, and in doing SC
slightly rotate the foot toward the in
ner line, turning the toe in. Conven.
fence is also on the side of the natural
position of the foot in the case of the
savage, ss,r he has to do much walking
through long grass and underground il
forests.
A moments reflection will show how
very much his progress would be im'
peded if he turned his toes out to catch
these obstacles instead of brushing
them aside and outward as he now
does. Lastly, the savage uses his foot
much more as help to his hands than
we do, and it is obvious that in doing
this he must turn his toes in.

Industrious digger can earn as much as

even children can earn a few shillings

many who are old and infrm resort to
them, and so the average earnings are
