BLAMES HIGH HEELED SHOES
Responsible for WOmen's Foot Trea.
bles Physician Tells Chiro-
pOdists.

High heeled shoes were blamed fot
numerous deformities in women's feet
in an address made last evening by
DR.. Albert G. Miller, head OF the x
ray laboratory Of the German Hospi-
tai before members OF the Chiropody
Society in the Parkway building.
Lantern slides were shown illus-
trating many common foot troubles,
most of which the speaker said we're
due to high heels. The photographs
were remarkable in that the feet were
shown encased in shoes, thus display
ing, in a striking manner, the dangers
discussed by the speaker.

To the surprise of the Republicans,
Representative Schall placed Ar.

was thought that he had done SO by
inadvertence, but later it developer
that he acted through prearrange-

the house was delayed by the Repub-

elected to all of the contested offl'

SAW AN AIRSHIP.
Greenwood People Saw Strange Slght
in the Air.

An aeroplane with tail lights Drill

wood early last night. according 70
Mr.. T. B. Hughes. who saw the air.
craft fly over Utopia school. AT
first I thought it was a large shoot
ing STAR" said Mr.. Hughes, but up
on looking a second time I noticed
plainly the outlines of the machine.
Il must have been 1000 feet above
ground and was flying in a westerly
direction. I should think that 1t
passed over the orphanagc."
Mr.. Hughes states that a number
of other people saw the strange night
bird. and everyone is confident that
it was an airship.
There are various conjectures, Oh
course, as to what this weapon OF
war should be doing using around
the peaceable city OF Greenwood.
Some are Of the opinion that tne
machine carried bombs to be dropped
ON Long Cane bridge between Green
wood asd Abbeville, but the consen'
sus of opinion is that the pilot OF the
machine was carrying orders from
Berlin to the captain OF the Kron-
prinz Wilhelm who is now interned
at Fort Mcpherson in Atlanta. 1t
will be recalled that the German cap
tain told his Atlanta guard that ne
had mo pledges to make, but Woulo

Whatever the reason for the ap-
pearance of the strange visitor, there
can be no doubt that its visitation IS
an omen of war and that as result

FIRST ARMED SHIP
TO MEET DISASTER

New York, April 2.-The American
steamship Aztec, first armed Ameri-
can merchant vessel to sail from a
port on this side of the Atlantic. was
sunk last night by German subma-
rine near Brest, France.
The cable message from the Ameri-
can consul at Brest that brought the
news of the ships sinking to her
owners, the Oriental Navigation COM
pany, gave no inkling as to the fate
Of her crew.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Paris said, however, that while some
of the men aboard the Aztec were
rescued a number were missing and
probably had perished.
The Aztec under command of Capt.
Walter O'Brien. was manned by d
crew of SO. Seventeen of this mum
Der, including the captain, were
americans. Whether the Aztec fought
losing battle with her under sea
adversary has not been disclosed. Her
owners believe. however. that she had
no chance to fight because she was
sunk at 9:l5 o'clock at night when q
heavy sea was running.
The vessel was armed with two D.
inch guns. one forward and one ait,
manned by naval gunners under COM
mand of a lieutenant officer.
In expressing the fear that the gun
ners on the Aztec had no chance to
show their skill, it was recalled that
the Cunard liner J4aconia, sent to the
bottom off the Irish coast on Feb
ruary 25, was sunk at night and that
no submarine was seen.
The Aztec. a slow moving freight
er of 1927 tons gross. steamed from
New York for Havre March Is with a
full cargo of foodstuffs and general
supplies valued at more than So00,O00.
She was due at Havre tomorrow and
probably was less than 100 miles
from that port when torpedoed. This
fact has given hope to her owners
that all the crew may be saved If
they had no opportunity to take to
the boats.
The Oriental Navigation company
also owns the steamer Orleans. one
of the first vessels to sail unarmed
from an American port after Ger
many's declaration of unrestricted
submarine warfare The Orleans sue

existence of a state of war and d.
recting the president to employ all
the resources of the country to carry
on war against the Imperial German
Government and bring the eonnlct 70
a successful conclusion.
Because of the opposition to the
measure Of Senator Stone, chairman
of the foreign relations committee,
the resolution was introduced in the
senate by Senator Martin. of Virgin
ia, the Democratic floor leader. Rep
resentative Flood, chairman of the
foreign affairs committee, introduced
it in the house.

row soon afterward. Both commit
tees meet tomorrow morning.

CORN-BREAD.
4 Wholesome Food That Should Be
Used More Extensively.

Justly dismissing as "a legislative
impossibility' the embargo on wheat
asked by bakers and millers, Repre-
sentative Rainey of Illinois urges a
bill permitting the use of cornmeal
with -four for a bread-maklng mix
ture in interstate commerce.
Twenty per cent. of corn, as pro-
posed does make an excellent flour.
But American families need no legls-
lation to use much more of this ma
tive food. Properly cooked, corn Is
wholesome and heartening in a va
riety Of forms. Ignorant cooks spoil
it By too much shortening or make it
needlessly expensive by the addition
of eggs. A New Yorker that sings
Dixie Las or pretends to childhood
memor. es Of corn pone Of more Spar
tan structure. fit to rank with the
scones of old Scotland as maker OF

It is odd that a food so rich in
calories is more eaten in our Soutn
than in the North. 1t is much the
same in Europe. During the famine
of 1s47 the people OF Ireland did not
know how to use corn sent to them.
"Cornbread" Murphy, patriotic evan
gel of noble food, had little en-
couragement in Germany, though
now they would welcome his goods.
