WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIE w.

There never was so much foot trouble,
never so many chiropodists as flourish
to-day. and we have just been told the
reason. We are suffering from fashionable
footwear. shoes made of heavy, unyield-
ing leather. with very thick soles and
built not 10 conform 10 the shape of the
foot. but 20 make the foot ut its cover

growing nails. calioused skin, and coTns
on every toe.
/ had a heart-to-heart talk with an out
spoken chiropodist the other day, and he
told me those things. He said that patent
leather and enamel leather were not fit
to wear, save possibly as trimmings; that
a soft kid shoe, without a box in the
toe and with a moderately thick sole, was
the only kind that meant comfort and
health for the feet. He recommended
frequent changes in both stockings and
shoes and the use of emery paper on all
hard places. lie said that there used to
be on the market an instrument for this
purpose, called a japanese corn file. but
that it seemed to have gone by, at least
it had dropped out of sight when it was
most needed.
Daily bathing is the rule rather than
the exception, and the feet share in this
good habit, Many women changed their
stockings as often as they removed their
shoes, the fashion OF matched shoes and
stockings offering the excuse. But very
few women attempted 10 care for their
feet beyond this point, preferring the
services of professional. So chiropo-
dists had multiplied and waxed prosper

that the number would grow smaller be-
cause women are still slaves to fashion.

TRENTON STICKS TO
TRI=STATE LEAGUE

TRENTON, Dec. 12-Manager John j.
Carney. of The Trenton Tri-State League
Baseball Club, has practically given up
all hope of Trenton being able to get away
from the Tri-State League next season
and playing In the Eastern League. Moth
ing short of a miracle. says Carney. can
cause a change of heart among the Tri-
State League magnates, all Of whom are
unalterably opposed TO allowing the East
srn League to appropriate the Trenton ter
ritory.
Manager Carney is now in New York
attending the National League meeting at
the Waldorf-Astoria in the hope Of secur-
Ing some stars for the Trenton club. He
was interviewed yesterday as to his plans
for next season.
Il am sorry to say said he. that the
Eastern League scheme looks to nav fallen
through. IL is a shame, because we had
settled everything so far as securing the
franchise is concerned. IT would nave been
a wonderful opportunity for Trenton, be-
cause | had a great ball club In line.
: However. the Tri-state magnates would
not listen TO any proposition that called
for Trenton to leave their league. / am
told thai Ii Trenton had been given per-
mission TO go into the Eastern League both
Altoona and Youngstown would never have
started off next season. These clubs. 1t is
said. absolutely insisted that Trenton be
a member of the Tri-State circuit next
season, and under these conditions IL was
natural that the rest of the club owners
should have voted against Trenton going
over to the Eastern.
II am now working bard to give Trenton
a winner in the Tri-State, because | have
set my mind on winnig that rag next sea-
son. Getting a good ball club this season
is going to be a hard proposition. because
of the stand the minors have taken against
farming. There will he no big league men
farmed out to the minors next season. II
Trenton has a big league cast-off Colonel
Perriue will have TO buy such a player
outright, and then there will he no strings
on him. He will be our property, and the
only way we can lose him will be by sale
or draft. As a matter of fact, right now
there is hardly a capable player in the
country not covered ND so that he will
have to be purchased, so you can bet all
the minor managers are h~ustling.
Trenton will open at home OIL April
with the Boston Nationals. Carney has
signed Griffin, suh-catcher last year. with
Buffalo; Cadwallader and Adams, pitchers,
and Poole, Barton. Martell. Larken. Ma

COLLEGE SWIMMING
MEET AT PRINCETON

PRINCETON, Dec. 12.-The management
of the Princeton Swimming Association an
nounced the schedule for the coming sea
son this morning. The intercollegiates will
be held in Princeton this year Instead of
IN the Penn tank, as formerly. Five meets
nave been arranged, the first scheduled
with the College OF the City OF New York,
for February %.
Owing to the resignation Of Brown from
the association, only the five colleges
Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Columbia and
Pennsylvania will be represented at the
intercollegiate meet, on April 4.
This meet will decide only the individual
championships, rs the team championship
IS to be determined from the results Of the
dual meets.
Last year, Princeton won the team cham
pionship by defeating Yale. Harvard.
Brown, Columbia and Pennsylvania, but
championships. The prospects for a win
ming team his season are very bright, as
a number of last years men are still ell
gible, and Captain c. p. Rail-, 1908, has
some excellent material to draw from.
All four of last years relay team are
back in college, and, In addition, several
sophomores are rivaling the veteran swim
mers for places. Z W. Chambers and
guished themselves in the short-distance
events last year, are sure of places on the
relay team.
Denniston, 1910. who was ineligible last
year, preserves third place on the quartet.
The fourth place rests between Captain
Rail- and III. Kimball, both of whom were
on the team last year.
The intercollegiate Association decided
TO abandon the 1fty-yard event in the
meets this year, but a petition is going the
rounds of the colleges concerned tina tbe
action be reconsidered. The event Is one
of the most interesting to watch In the
whole program, and Is a prime test of
swimming ability.
All of the meets this year will be held
at Princeton, with the exception of the
Pennsylvania and Columbia dual meets.
which will take place at Philadelphia and
New York. respectively.
There will also be one or two interelass
meets. to take place some time after the
Christmas vacation. The schedul is as

PUBLIC SCHOOLS A. A..
Principals Hold Annual Meeting and
Listen to Reports-0faoers Elected.


At the annual meeting of the Newark
Public Schools Athletic Association. held
yesterday afternoon at the Board of Edu-
cation room in the City Hall, officers were
elected for the year, reports were read
by the secretary and also the treasurer
and the work of last year and plans for
the future were discussed.
The result of the election was as follows:
President, Arthur G. Balloon, franklin
School; vice-president, Elmer X. Sexton,
Central Avenue School; treasurer, Fred
w. Fort, Hamburg Place School; secre-
tary, Flank II. Hanson, South Market
Street School; assistant secretary, Hoyt
H.. Tucker, Lawrence Street School; ex-
ecutive committee, Joseph L. Terwilliger,
Fourteenth Avenue School; Thomas J. Bis
sell. Charlton Street School; Claude L.
West, Newton Street School; Charles j.
Mccall, attendance officer of the Board of
Education, and Randall ID. Warden, super
visor of physical training.
The tr easurer's report showed that the
season had been financially satisfactory,
and Secretary Hanson's data regarding the
number of pupils which took part in the
athletic meets which have been held dur
ing the -FOUR years that the association
has been In existence were particularly
interesting. The first year there were 6S5
pupils who competed, the second year
l.627, the third year 1900, and this year
S,4O0.
The remarkable increase each year has
made it plain that an athletic field for the
pupils In the Newark schools Is absolutely
necessary II these meetings are to be con-
tinued. Efforts are being made to have
such . scheme carried out in the near
future and the feeling among the princi-
pals yesterday was that the work would
soon be successful.
Just how the athletic meet will be
handled next year has not been fully de-
termined. 1t has been suggested thai sew
eral tournaments be held, the winners to
meet in a final tournament, when the
various championships would be decided.
