He was shabbily dressed. and had a cap

The highwayman addressed Miss

for the charm of a baby's foot

Beautiful Feet May Be
Aim of Organization

The formation of a S. p. c. +. is
planned to be one of the really
great accomplishments of the Ma
tional Congress of Mothers in this
city, April % to 26. A Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Feet,
according to the supporters OF the
movement. is one Of the crying
needs of the day.
The contrast between pretty
hands and heads and the marred.
misshapen feet that are compelled
to support them is said TO be
startling. The S. P c. F. would
not only create public sentiment
in favor of rational treatment OF
these maltreated members of the
human economy but, should it be
found eXpedient, would even seek
legislation upon the subject.
One of the most ardent advocates
of the reform is DR.. Helen c. Put

Meantime, the repeal question is as
much in the air as ever. In some
respects, II has been complicated be-
cause a number of the Senators insist
there shall be no compromise. Senator
Borah in an interview said:
I'VE must either accept the repeal or
reject it. The issue was raised in such
form by the Presidents message that
compromise suggestions are futile. 1t
Is repeal or nothing"
Secretary Bryan in a lengthy state
ment makes a plea for repeal. He seeks
to justify the change OF front on the
free tolls plank Of the Baltimore plat
form. In substance, Mr.. Bryan holds
that a change Of conditions has taken
place since the Baltimore platform was
adopted. The people must decide
whether Wilson is justified" according
to Secretary Bryan.
