For Murder.

Springfield, Mo, July 12.-Claude
Piersol, C1etus Adams and Dick Car
ter, charged with the murder of Baby
Lloyd Keet, will be brought to Spring
field for preliminary arraignment

O'Day announced today. Other pris-
onerS under arrest in connection with
alleged completely in the plot to kid
nap c. A. Clement, a Springfield jew
eler, also will be arraigned here on
that day.
Prosecutor O'Day said he probably
would change the charge against Pier
sol and Adams from murder to kid
mapping He said the punishment is
the same for either offense. 1t is un-
derstood the authorities feel they can
establish a stronger case on the kid
naping charge.
The murder charge against Carter
is to be dropped and a charge of con-
spring to kidnap Clement preferred.
All but two of the accused persons
are in Jail in St. Louis.

The Real French.

There has been much talk of France
having been reborn through the agony of
this year says Alexander Powell in
brothers in Arms published by Hough-
ton Mifflin company. Therein we are
wrong 1t is merely that We Americans
have known the French only specifically,
and that, in thinking and speaking of them,
we have INDUCED in the careless and in
accurate habit of generalization We have
believed them lacking in seriousness and
perseverance, and we have thought them
volatile and temperamental. What have
we known of the sober. simple hearted,
industrious. frugal, plain-living, deeply re
lfgious people who are the real France?

lavish use of ribbons, there was moth
ing done to please the woman who
walked. AS long as the winter sea-
son demanded high shoes, a woman
was. able to be entirely comfortable
in her footgear, but as soon as the
warm weather advanced and she dis
carded the high foot, she was face
to face with the old. unsolved, irritat-
ing problem of trying to walk COM
fortably in a pair of pumps.
No matter what else the American
manufacturer has done in the way of
shoes, he has never successfully solved
the problem of a walking pump for
woman with a thin foot.
Our characteristic foot is highly
arched and tapers to a slim heel, with
an unusual breadth across the line of
juncture between toes and instep. We
have been nation of walkers and
our feet are in somewhat the same
proportions as those of Indians, with
the outward spread at the ball of the
foot and the tapering point at the
heel Now, this is not the kind of
foot that the manufacturers know
how to fit The shoe that fits the
heel does not allow enough room at
the ball of the foot, and the other way
around.
1t is true that thousands of women
have their own lasts and have their
shoes made from them, but this is an
expensive and tedious method. One
often has to wait two months for a
pair of slippers and then pay twice
the amount that the shoe would cost
if taken from the stock. Again, shoe
made according to an individual last
is not always stylish or becoming. 1t
follows the defects of the foot instead
of concealing them, which is the trou-
BILE with many corSets, as every wom-
an knows
There, the main problem of the
American woman when the summer
season advances, is to find low shoes
that will give her foot security and
allow her to walk with a free spring,
minus the strain on the tendons in the
back of the leg, which comes from
unconsciously trying to hold on the
slipper as one moves.
The French Instep Straps.
A season or two ago, when Ameri-
can women still demanded many shoes
of France the manufacturers there
began to use the instep strap. They
made it in many ways, some of which
were ugly and others attractive.
Americans would have nothing to do
with the shoes which were offered in
American shops and which had these
straps. They said they ruined the
shape of the foot, but this season their
! attitude toward this type of shoe has
changed.
The sketch shows the modern
French pump in it's best form. 1t is
made and can be bought in this coun-
/ try, and it solves the problem in an
admirable manner. The pair shown
are of black and white patent leather,
with two straps coming from under
! the instep and fastening on top with
] a cut steel buckle. The placement OF
these straps is quite subtle, because it
