Care of the Feet In Summer

Have you heard that tender feet make one old"
 l. is true. but like most unpleasant truths. this can be modified Let le rcLs.e your mind al once by saying that naturally tender feet never made anyone old It is the art.ficially acquired tenderness of the feet that makes for short life.
 We are born with feet adapted 70 carrying our weight and to doing al! the walking that is necessary. They are ready for all the ordinary Is ages of life. but they are not ready and never will be. for the eXtraor- dinary demands of the fashionable tight shoe.
 Ii you are slender woman. or a bony one. you can wear the kind of shoe the average dealer makes If you are plump, you will suffer from these shoes as you would if your foot were in wise. The Chi nese women of high rank suffer but little more than the fashionable women of this country in the matter of foot torture.
 The problem of how to wear shoes that make the feet comfortable and yet loon trim is one that many have uird to solve. Pending it's solu- ton, let me advise that when you must choose between comfort and beauty for the feet, choose comfort. Long ago someone invented the ad- age that Ne must suffer to be beau tiful. but We must not suffer if We would remain young. Suffering is ageing And nothing makes Us suf- fer more than foot torture.
 The steady ache of tired or tor 8cuted feet causes weariness and less of vitality sometimes actual Illness one gil in her siNteen-year- old vanity bought a pair of shoes that made her feet look small In half-hour after she put the shoes on her feet began to swell The girl tried to take the shoes off, Jut the swelling was so great she could not For three days she hohbled about in those shoes and slept in them at night At last her relatives had to cut off the shoes. The girl was ill TOT a week.
 Another reason why the feet that have been made tender by misuse produce old age before its time l. that We all shrink from exercise when our feet hurt Us. Lack of eX- ercise produces a long train of evils. Chronic indigestion. paraly, sis. apopIexy. fatty degeneration are often the penalty eXacted by nature for lack of exercise.
 There is no reason, except vanity. why the feet should not be as free from pain and distortion as the hands.
 The summer is the most tryins time for the feet. Even perfect feet. never distorted by tight shoes are inclined to swell in the summer. and incline to one of the extremes, a hot, dry skin, or excessive mols

WESTINGHOUSE PLAN
FOR NEW FINANCING

The following guarded statement was
issued yesterday by Guy Z. Trip,
chairman Of the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing Company, on the
matter of new financing which is i'm
minent:
4 meeting Of the directors will be held
soon for the purpose Of determining the
ACCESSIBILITY OF beginning Immediately the
construction and equipment OF additional
works AT Essington. Penn This has been
under consideration for a long time. and
should II be approved. IL IS quite probable
they will also approve a plan for perma-
nently financing the expenditure.
In banking quarters conversant with
the plans OF the company it was learned
that an offering Of stock will probably
be made TO raise the funds necessary
10 carry on the proposed construction
work. The amount will likely be be-
tween sl2,000.000 and s15,O0O,0OO. The
company now has outstanding s56. OOO,-
600 common stock. of which s52,644, 500
is outstanding. In the event of a new
issue OF either of the amounts men,
toned consent OF the stockholders will
have to be obtained TO increase the
authorized total.

COTTON OFF SIS A BALE
WITH CHICAGO SELLING
Ginning Report Indicates Larger
Crop than Trade Estimates

Cotton declined in precipitous man
ner yesterday after the publication Of
the Census Bureau figures showing
that 1O.359,OOO bales had been ginned
up to December /. This figure was much
larger than the trade expected and in
the minds of many created the i'm
preston that this seasons crop might
prove TO be larger than estimates from
various sources have indicated, mas
much as only 9,7O3OOO bales were
ginned 10 the same date last year.
Spectators who having been playing
the long side Of the market on the
short crop theory were taken by sur
prise and there was wild rush to un-
load, regardless Of price.
The decline resulting from this kind
of selling was so sudden and so sharp
rs to uncover lot of stop loss orders
the execution of which carried prices
TO still lower levels.
Low quotations for the day repre-
scnted losses in the leading futures of
over s. a bale, as compared with
Thursdays close. The most urgent
selling came from Chicago houses
which seemingly have placed undue
credence in private estimates of crop
shortage The government will issue
its official crop report next Monday.

SILENT ON NEW BONDS
Bankers Say Company May Put
Out Issue of S7J.0C0,000

Officials Of the United States Rubber
Company refused to say yesterday how
the money to be derived from the sale
Of new bonds will be used. Between
$50 .OOO.O 900 and s75,0OO,O00 in new Sc
curities, bankers said, are to be issued
by the company.
The statement that part Of the pro
ceeds from the new issue would be used
to pay off floating debt aroused much
interest, inasmuch as the company's
last balance sheet showed net working
assets Of S47,572,459, against approx
mately S27,5OO,O00 in current liabili-
ties. or the liquid assets Sl3,lO2,4Oo
was in cash. and S2O,s2O,334 in sc-
counts receivable.
That some of the funds derived from
the sale will provide for future ma

acter indefinitely.
The plan agreed upon yesterday as
the result of a conference at the otiice4

Foreign Trade Is Gold
Protection, Says Redheld

Washington, Dec S.-Unprecedented
growth Of the country's foreign trade,
the commercial advantages which will
accrue from peace and the opportunity
presented for a heavier export bust
ness and greater investments abroad
we're set forth to-day by Secretary
Redfeld of the Department Of Com
merce in his annual report. The re-
port gives figures showing the nations
trade expansion of two years and sums
up the country's commercial domi-
nance as follows:
"Our foreign Indebtedness has been
reduced possibly three billions. We
have loaned abroad a total sum since
the war began, on August l, 1914, esti-
mated at 81 900, 900, 900, and increasing.
We are the wealthiest nation in the
world and the most prosperous one.
We have not wasted our men or means
in war. Relatively TO our fiscal power
to-day our debts are trifing. Nations
less wealthy than some Of our individ-
ual states bear a heavier burden Of
debt and interest than We.
1--WE arc the only one Of the great
industrial peoples at peace. Nations
turn to us for goods and means with
which 20 pay US for the goods. None Of
US. in our widest financial fsncies FIVE
years ago, would have dreamed that
things would be as now they are.
ITO protect our reserve of gold,
which is the ultimate base on which
our domestic credits rest, we must
maintain our export trade and must
continue to increase loans and invest
ments abroad"

make a profit out of traffic it could
not stop. In the meantime the Eng
lish trader looked about for new
fields in which TO make up for the
trade he was losing in Europe, and
he discovered South America. He
sent shiploads of goods to people who
did not wish them, and gave them
away or abandoned them when he
could not sell them, apparently vast
ing his capital and making himself
ridiculous; but his instinct was true
and from this beginning in trial and
error he made shift to capture the
South American market. He is still
the biggest trader there.
