marks were cut short

dressed the court. They admitted the
right Of the government 70 draft citi-
zens through the State militia. but not
az individuals, and contcnded the law
prevents political and religious freedom
and denies citizens equal protection.
Harry Weinberger. OF New York,
representing Emma Goldman end Alex
ander Berkman.. confined his attack
principally to the assertion that the
law dcprives citizens Of religious
liberty. and added the government has
no right TO grant exemptions on re-
lisious grounds. Others argued that
judicial power was usurped by dele
eating to the President authority TO
establish local draft boards TO deter

An argument very frequently I'D.
vauced to Justify radical changes In

neyed reference to customs in animal
life, or that Of our primeval ancestors.
''The animals do 1t; why shouldn't 1t
be natural, for we are all animals7"
IL the usual way of presenting 1t.
The custing aside Of many Of our
modern articles Of clothing would be
q great advantage to the human race
in the course Of a few generations, but
certain reversions to antiquity some
times recommended are dangerous or
impossible. The most notable Gf these
relates to discarding shoes and advo-
Gates bare feet.
The barefoot theory has much to
recommend 1t, an exchange says. Mod.
ern shoes IRE practical abuse Of the
feet and choke OF the elimination OF
body poisOns. Yet that the shoe and
stockings cannot be entirely discarded
has recently been proved by medical
observation of the condition of the ma
tives' feet in the island Of Hayti, In
the West Indies.
OF the 3,OOO.OOO inhabitants Of this

q few thousand who wear shoes or
