Health Endangered
By High Heels
By DR.. SAMUEL C, DIXON
Commissioner q Health Of Pennsylvania

a Il & III 4 .
The present extremely high heels
worn by the majority of American
women. both old and young, mean de-
formity of the feet. X-ray pictures in
dicating the relation of the toes to the
ground when they are encased In these
high-heeled shoes. show that women
are walking ON the ends of their five
toes. There Is food for thought in the
fact that the horse nowadays walks
on a foot consisting Of one toe, while
in the more primitive animal there
were three or five toes.
The shape of the natural foot of man
has Il great variety of uses and it is
one of the things that has helped TO
place him first in the life Of tho earth.
The natural foot has been one of the
anatomical facts that has helped him
TO his present high state of efficiency.
The form of that foot mas enabled him
to become. good hunter, good farm
or, good sailor, Il good soldier-ln
fact, anything he has. found it neces-
sary through the ages TO become, or
finds now essential for the war we are
fighting to continue our personal lib
.erty.
Let the butterfly girls and the other
high-heeled old and young women stop
and realize the value of the normal
foot of man. Let them cut Off the high
heel and substitute the natural level.
This might also work out 10 the in
terest of direct economy by using the
surplus heel to make thicker solps on
the shoes. si
Let us recognize the models OF ma
tnre which have led us to success. II
mans foot had been abused for an
indefinite time in n way to have re-
duced ii to a one-toed foot. resembling
the horses, he would have hard time
trying to fulfill his present duties In
life.
The high heel represents the fashion
for, the women Of today and means
great discounting of the value of
mankind, particularly If ii is continued
long time. The present high heel Is
not only torturous but of great injury

PREPARE FOWLS FOR MARKET

! The early-hatched chicks are near

llkely-looking pullets, which it is de-
sired TO retain for early winter lay

flock and prepared for market. To
fatten them so that the muscles will
be soft and tender they should be
confined in small pens or fattening
crates for two or three weeks before
they are killed and sold. Chickens
weighing from three to four pounds
each, that are thrifty and of good
breeding, should make most profitable
gains.

CLIMBING 4 FAMILY TREE.

Every reader of the life of Napol-
con knows that able gentlement, demo
cratic to the core, despite his i'm
perial trappings and pomp, despised
the efforts of those who declared they
had successfully traced his lineage
back to a medieval Italian king.
My patent of nobility dates from
the battle of Montenotte,' declared Ma
poleon; and he spurned the papers, so
deliberately prepared, which proved
him of royal descent.
This is brought to mind by the fact,
now published, that Emperor William
of Germany proudly claims to be a
descendant in direct line from King
David, that esteemed biblical warrior,
who in the language of Billy Sunday,
'bpfted Goliath, the big stiff, on the
coco with pebble.y Genealogists
have been raising a specially prepar-
ed family tree for the kaiser, and he
has transcript of it conspicuously
posted in his palace at potsdam. 4
shows that On his mothers side he
has such notable kin among the dead
of antiquity This family tree pur-
ports to prove that the eldest daugh-
ter of zedekiah fed to Ireland IN
charge of the prophet jeremiah, ana
eventually married Heremon, King Of
Ulster, from which the reigning house
Of Great Britain is actually descended.
1t would appear that the Kaiser has
enough On his hands at present -
pass up the opportunity of claiming
kin with ancient folk who, even az
their worst, undoubtedly had more IT
the milk Of human kindness in their
souls than the Emperor and all his
family possess at the present time.

AN INTERESTING QUESTION.

The giving of formal notice by Spain
that American aviators must not fly
over Spanish soil suggests that sooner
or later this question of aerial rights
must be decided.
1t must be treated between nations
and also from the standpoint of the
individual property-owner The ques-
tons are: Can nations prohibit the
peaceful operation of aeroplanes in
the air above their earthly dominions?
Do property owners have the same
rights to the air above them, as they
10 to the ground beaneth them?
lieve that the development of aerial
navigation will entail revision OF
cur present legal principles CONTROL
'ng the title to real estate.
From the earliest records of the
common law we have Inherited tEs
principle which is well expressed by
the Latin maxim, a coelo usque ad
centrum, that a mans title includes
from the heavens to the center of the
Garth" 1t is well established that 4
property owner can grant easement
TO underground rights, or at least an
estate in land below the surface, such
as may be used for mining purposes
and the like. In the long ago there
also was an easement to prospect;
that is, the granting of a right to eek
elusive and uninterrupted view of GER
tain scenery over a particular piece
Of land.
The question now arises as to
whether man has the legal right 10
prevent aviators from flying above
his property, 1t is probably certain
that if an aeroplane were to fall OH
his land, damaging fixtures or crops,
the owner of the property could re-
cover damages for trespass.
A Frenchman has brought an ac-
ton to compel manufacturer of aero
planes to keep them at least six hun
ored feet above ground while testing
them in passing over the plaintiff
land. The man claims that the aero
planes brighten away game birds, dis
turb and alarm laborers in the fields,
ande are generally annoying.
It may be that in view of the con-
3tantly increasing number of ships
of the air the courts will be obliged
t. decide that a man no longer has
title to the air above his property,
with the exception of such as NAV
be Immediately necessary for his con-
veInience and purposes. Otherwise,
aerial navigation will labor under
such severe restrictions and inhibi-
tions that no aviator could fly about
without trespassing. Any other de-
c'sicn would be departure from CON-
NOR sense.
