It's design is stated by Mr.. Weinstock
to be the correcting of the mistaken
idea in the minds of men that money
is the one standard of success in bust

a sacrifice of the ethical side of their

has edited for twelve years. His views

curacy, an insight into affairs. wis

is remarkable.
Before graduating from the Iowa
College DIR. Shaw had already become
an editor, having an interest in the
Grinnell Herald. In 1884 he received
his doctors degree from Johns Hop

torial writer on the Minneapolis Tribune

in European universities, he returned

as they greatly exceed the figures fixed
by President Richard of the Board Of
Trustees, so much so that instead OF
the total amount being $25O,O0O, il is
now $365.OOO. This is just $4,000 in eX-
cess of the amount it was first thought
would improve certain departments of
the town.
The excess begins with the school de-
partment There it was estimated that
$4,000 would do, but the sub-commit-
tee finds that il can do nothing with
less than SIPS. 900. The manual training
committed started out with $4,000 as
its limit. but now it finds that IL will
take $4,000 TO do the thing right.
The Fire Department committee
wants $4,000 instead OF $4,000: the
Park and Sites Committee is modest,

SCIENTIFIC DISCOURSE
ON USING THE FEET
How Form of Dress Shows Women
to Be Ungainly in
Their Walk

The new instep skirt is a boon to
women, but It reveals the fact that
women are bad walkers. A surprising
number of women are pigeon-toed-
They tread on the side Of the foot or
run down the heels Of their shoes,
which gives most ungraceful appear
ance to the feet" writes a correspond
ent in a letter to the Express.
A physical culture expert discussed
this allegation with an Express repre-
sentative recently, and in the course
of conversation every count OF the in
dictment was admitted.
TT is true" he said, that women
who are otherwise pretty and graceful
exhibit in walking a remarkable
amount Of clumsiness. Watch a woman
going upstairs at a railway station. In
nine cases out of ten she will plod la
boriousIy up; her feet viii come down
at either side of the stair and her toes
will be turned in. Half the fatigue
would be avoided II she would work the
foot from the ankle and set each foot
truly next the other. with heels touch
ing for the instant they are together.
In sitting also women are guilty OF
a number Of sins Of awkwardness. The
stout woman, for example. invariably
sits sauarely, with feet planted about
twelve inches apart and her toes turn
ed out.
THE lean, lOng-legged woman. on
the other hand. winds her feet round
the legs of her chair. or else crosses
her legs and thrusts her feet out in
front Of her.
Now. the stout woman should
noise herself and sit very erect. The
lean woman should choose the high
est possible seat and plant her feet
firmly on the ground. thus reducing
her excessive angularity.
The small woman also does some
necuIiar things. She either sits with
her small feet dangling in a helpless
way or perches herself on the edge of
a high seat. with the toe Of one foot
touching the ground and the other
foot hooked around the ankle of the
first. Instead of aggravating the
smaIIness of her stature. she should
choose the lowest chair in the room
and sink gracefully into it.
But the greatest offender against
the physical art Is the mannish girl.
Her very attempt TO assume mans
ease and freedom is the cause of her
downfall; her exaggerated attitudes
indeed become absurd mimicry-
Yes" said the expert in conclusion.
women are bad sitters and walkers.
They forget the following primary
rule: whenever the feet are on the
ground at the same time they should
be placed as closely as possible to-
qether. toes slightly turned out -
