der before putting Son dry hosiery.
 Armless people often learn to ope- rate the typewriter, sew, and do many other apparently impossible tasks with the toes. A normally developed foot is capable of many things besides walking, but even the best of shoes prevents a normal development of the pedal extrennities If proper care is taken however, a shoe may be had. that will at least do away with the common ailments that foot-f1esh Is heir to and make walking a comfort and pleasure
 Major William ". Reno, of the United States Army medical corps, has devoted years to the. study of feet and footwear, and his conclu- sions are interesting to all who have feet. He says:
 Tt seems that. one of the penalties of civilization is decreased marching power. And one of the principal causes Is not hard to find. A shoe limits the freedom of the foot and in lime causes atrophy of certain foot muscles. The normal foot is very
 flexible Great freedom of action is needed in walking. running jumping and climbing. The large Joints of the foot must not be confined. The grasp of the toes against the ground and the backward push of the great toe is of value at every step. In exactly the same proportion as the great toes are bent lSeJne GTuc10nCy5 or the foot as lever reduced and
 marching capacity lessened. At every step as the foet leaves the ground the great toe by virtue of it's intrinsic muscles and leg assistance gives a final sbackward push that is of
 material aid in propelhng the body. It is like the we'll timed shove to a swing in motion The effectiveness I.of this backward push is greatly i'm creased. as the body is already falling forward for the next step when it is
 applied. The continual loss of pow CT in the backward push caused by hallux valgus, is a further potent factor in decreasing marching ca Ipacityys
 Tn the United States army, the best lshod military organization of the world, footwear has been reduced to 8 science The civilian will find a valuable suggestion in this regula- l ton:
 .Au measurennents prescribed here in will be taken with the soldier standing in bare feet and with a for ty-pound burden on his back, bearing the entire weight upon tine foot to be measured. '' And here is another army sugges-
 ton looking to foot comfort: | "AH shoes should be properly bro I ken in before beginning a march, but if this is impracticab1e, then the fol
 lowing is suggested, but not required The soldier stands in his new shoes ir labout 1-2 inches of water for abou1 five minutes until the leather is thor oughly pliab1e and moist: he shoul6 then walk for about an hour on 2 level surface, letting the shoes dry 1 on the feet, to the irregularities o1 which the leather is thus moulded ir | the same way as it was previously

DIVES so FEET.
 INTO PEQUONNOCK

Before an audience of nearly 2,oo0 persons whos had gathered on the Stratford aeynue bridge today as re- suit of a large extension ladder and platform being erected upon the side of the steamer Park City, Miss Flor ence Scheub1ein, of New York, today performed a perilous and startling aquatic feat when she dived a dis tance of nearly 50 feet into the Pc quonnock river.
 It is one of the highest dives, if not the top notch recosd in Bridgeport acquattc endeavors and places the name of this young woman upon the though official measurements and time was not kept.
 Miss Scheub1ein, who is appearing at the Pon theater with the Six Water Lilies, staged by the eminent swim ming master and vaudeville snowman. reached the pier at about 12 o'clock. She was attired in a scarlet union-suit, over which she had wrapped a rain- coat. She immediately walked to the upper deck of the Park City and divesting herself of all unnecessary 5ap- pareI began to climb the ladder, which had been but lightly 1ashed to the vessels superstructure. In an attempt to make her surpass former dive of 90 feet, a platform had been lash ed to the topmost rung of a 100 foot fire department ladder
 As the young woman ascended, she perceived by the sway of the inse- cure support that her life would be endangered and she stopped at the 60 foot mark. Her dive was made with out the aid of any platform and direct ly from the narrow rung of the lad der which cut into her flesh as she l jumped. 1 Though she later displayed clippings of greater feats performed at Wilkes Barre where she dove over 70 feet and at Young's Pier, Atlantic City, where she dropped nearly 90 feet, her man ager said that todayss dive was one of the most peri1ous she ever attempt ed, and from the applause that follow ed her effort. the truth of this state ment must have been appreciated By the concourse that lined the Stratford avenue bridge.

Roads and Signs
From the Paterson Press

A country road is all right in a state
Of nature. Whatever God put there is
beautiful, If 1t be nothing more than
grass, or evenbare rocks or sand. All
the works of nature have their own
powef'and compel attention. When
man comes In, he makes a wreck of it.
he tacks his dinky little signs to trees
and fences. This turns the beauty of
outdoor life into the dingy shabbiness
OF a city alley. No one benefits by this
form Of publicity. These little signs
offer no argument. They do not help
an intending purchaser of goods to q
more intelligent idea of what he ought
to do. They merely yell in his ear,
when he wishes to be quiet and look
around him.
Roadside signs are bad enough when
they are first put out, newly painted or
printed. After suffering from sun, rain
and dust, they soon become faded and
are still more defacing. 1t should be
legal In every State to remove an adver-
Using sign placed within the limits of
a public highway. Improvement
societies, civic associations, and boards
of trade should join In efforts to remove
these Objectionable features and make
town surroundings more attractive.

Six Little Schoolhouses An In a
Row Now Barracks.

The Scheveningen schoolhouses stood
there In a row. Six frame buildings,
one story high. painted q murky yell
low. But reading. writing and arith-
metic had flown out of the window in
educated horror, and soldiers, strategy
aud soup had come in at the door.
Out with the children and in with the
military! Learning had given way be-
fore wari The schoolhouses. had be-
come a barracks.
l looked in at the window. A chef
was carving a ley Of mutton on the
teachers desk. Blankets were rolled
up on the benches. Tactics were
scrawled over the blackboards. In the
schoolyards there were two hundred
soldiers, and they were peacefully peel
ing potatoes.
Troops are quartered in thirty one
schools in The Hague, and the schol-
airs are cared for in thirty-one other
school buildings. deliberately devised
parttime systems are in vogue, SO that
most of the children have only a few
hours a~week instruction.
.Ihat's why I'm glad my papa is
away said Jan, %stabbing a potato
through the fence with his sword.
because when so many papas go
away, they have to sleep in the schools
and | only have to go for ever-so-littie
each week. Wars a great thing, isn't
1t, mynheeI?n
Will Jan think that wars a great
thing ten years from now?
Three other boys with swords and
paper hats came around the corner.
These are my men" said Jan. "It's
great to fight, isn't it?"
Looking down at JAMS paper hat, L
saw headlines about heavy taxes, and
food shortage, and the wounded, and
the killed, and l remem bered how a
child had cried in its mothers arms In
the darkened streets of Antwerp, while
the city waited for German bombs from
the autumn sky.
Eyes, it's great to fight, Jan,"I said.
"Bnt it's greater not to fight. Take
this home to your blue-eyed mother
and tell her that her blue-eyed son has
earned his fret pay as a general"
Jan looked up.

said.

clattered up the street.

Beware of boring people by ey-
erlasting talk of your lover.
Don't encourage him to spend
too much money upon your small
luxuries.
Smile cheerfully at your broth
ers' teasing remarks.
Never crow over your girl
friends who are not yet engsSsd.
Remember that the world con
tains other people Of interest be-
