KEEP YOUR FEET STRAIGHT

From the New York Press saif<s<.aI
How many men know how to. walk?
Most men turn their toes in or out.
The toes should not be turned either
way. They ought to point straight
ahead, so that the foot at the end OF
each step can give the body that up
ward, forward impetus that results in
what is called a springy walk. This
does not mean a man should walk ex-
clusively on his toes. The whole foot
must be used in proper walking. The
goose step of the German army is as
absurd as the boys prank of walking
on his heels. The Almighty has not
freighted the foot with single super
aous part Every inch of every foot is
meant for use. ~ 81
When a man walks in the right way
speaking literally-the back of the
heel strikes the ground first. Then the
rest of the heel comes down, after
which the outer edge of the foot takes
the bulk of the burden until the for
ward movement shifts the weight 10
the ball of the foot and finally 10 the
toes. The ideal step is u slightly rock
ing motion. At no time should the
entire foot be pressed against tho
ground. Heel to toe Is the movement.
Try it and see how much further and
more easily you can walk. It's the IN
dams way and what Poor Lo doesn
know about footwork can go INTO tns
discard

PARIS, February 2.-The swollen
waters of the Seine have fallen four
feet, exposing in many of the city
streets the damage done to buildings,
sewers and pavements by the torrent
during the past week. While it is too
early as yet for the authorities to make
any definite examinations, it is regard
ed as certain that the estimated dam
age placed at two hundred millions of
donars will be exceeded when the
final toll is taken.
The work of caring for the refugees
mas assumed tremendous proportions,
taxing the energies of the army Off
Gals in charge. Yesterday an army
of quarter of a million people, from
the flooded districts of the city and
from the neighboring country were
| fed from the relief stores, and it is
probable that many days will elapse
before the bread line grows shorter.
Throughout the ruined district the
work of seeking out and burying the
dead is being carried on as expeditions
ly as possible and every effort is being
bent to prevent the outbreak of an
epidemic.
Outside assistance, in the form of
money and supplies, is pouring in,
much coming from foreign countries.
The authorities believe they have the
situation well in hand now. The sum-

of the mob has struck terror into the

MISS HELEN TAFT, SUFFRAGETTE,
SYMPATHlZES WITH GIRL STRIKERS
AND WILL SPEAK TO PAPA"

PHILADELPHIA, January 1S.-The
local waistmakers strike has taken
social honors, for Miss Helen Taft has
enlisted in the cause of the strikers
and has declared that she certainly
will speak to papa about the conditions
under which these poor girls are COM
PEELED to live.
Miss Taft was at the home of Mrs.

street, yesterday morning when fully
100 society women and a score of Bryn
Mawr College girls listened attentiyely
to Mrs. Raymond Robins rehearse the
ills and thrills attending the life OF
maker of shirtwaists
Miss Taft did not arise in the meet
ing and ask questions. She just lis
tened to Mrs Robbins and at once
fell deeply in sympathy with the 5OOU
odd girls who are now striving to Inn
prove their condition.
And that isn't all. Miss Taft is a
suffragist. She is a charter member
OF the Bryn Mawr College Suffragist
Club, so rumor as"erts. Miss Taft may
not be quite certain of her status on
matter of franchise, for she is loath
to talks thereon, but this much she
knows: 1.-THE striking shirtaist max
ers are deserving of every Bit Of sym
pathy that can be gathered together"
She isn't very well versed in matters
economic. This phase of the factory
workers existence is quite new to
her-has opened the doors of a world
that she knew only in theory. But
now Miss Taft is quite ready to take
the platform if necessary, and repeat
all the things that she heard Mrs
Robbins say.
