for despite the statement of Examiner
of Records Lipscomb that he will be
guided by, the law and not by th'
state board. it is believed that the
! fight to collect back taxes for Tn
past five years is at an end, at least
for the present.
The local board of review, compos.
cd of Messrs. Moncure, Ballengel
F. and Lawler, take this view Of the mat.
ter, for at an informal meeting 0;
the board today they came to tnt
conclusion that they would give thel,
attention to the returns Of 1915 an'
would not consider past years.
The recommendation Of the stat.
board which was published in the
Gazette on Saturday afternoon in !;
special dispatch from Richmond was
received by Examiner Lipscomb. ac
cording to his statement. several days
ago but despite the advice contained
therein he continued in his efforts
to secure reports from Alexandria
merchants. He said today that hi:
report was practically completed
This report will go to State Auditor
Moore and in view Of the fact that
Mr.. Moore is on the state board ana
signed the recommendation to the
examiners it is not believed that Mr.
Lipscomb's report so far as the back
years is concerned will be seriously
considered.
The action of the state board viii
no doubt be severe blow to the ex-
amincrs, as they would have receiv-
ed a commission on the amount Of
back taxes which was collected
through their efforts. Mr.. Lipscomb,
for instance, has been very energetic
in his attempts to secure these re-
turns.
Alexandriars familiar with the
situation are Of the opinion that the
action of the state board will end
the matter and that it will not come
before the courts as had been ex-
rected. The retail merchants of this
city had secured attorneys to car
nv the case before the courts.

Leading representative OF the med.
ical profession, the police and the
army. were recently interviewed By,
the New York World concerning the
new way Of walking and standing:
which not only prevents fat foot and
broken arches, but cures them. Er.
eryone of them said that to stand with
heels together and toes out at an
angle of as degrees is absolutely fool
ish and Injurious. The feet should
be parallel.
DR.. Luther H. Gulick, president Of
the Camp Fire Girls, said:
II wrote to the War Departments
in Germany, Sweden. France and here.
asking the reasons for having their
soldiers walk and stand with heels to.
gether and, toes pointed out to the
side. They all gave the same reason;
that they thought it would look better.
They never considered the strain it
was upon the mems arches.
Flat Foot as Racial Trait. n
During the st. Louis Fair. he con-
tinued, Several scientists and had
persons OF different nationalities walk
over a pavement OF bricks laid at a
45-degree angle. We noticed that
about half of the people walked with
their feet straight ahead, while the
other half, mostly women and Jews
had their feet stuck out at all angles.
Most Of the fat foot cases are among
the Jews"

suffered from fat foot.

shoes seldom have broken arches" he
said. They, are forced to exercise the
muscles of their feet. And as for
metal supports helping fiat foot

Lieut.. Charles E. Schoffleld in charge
of the police training school, told the
following story Of the discovery and
establishment of this cure for broken
arches among the police:
about year ago" he said, the
Commissioner brought Mr.. Jacome, OF
Groton School TO see If he couldn't
suggest way of remedying the fat
foot cases among the men. Our first
patient was young patroiman named
Pathmuller, who had broken both his
arches when he jumped from the sec

muller could barely walk, and he had
been trying specialists in vain.

The Pilot Of Our Ship Of

George Harvey, famous political critic
