Indians Best Walkers.

When it comes to feet civilized man
has a thing or two to learn from the
dog eating Igorrote or the pigeon toed
American Indian, says Prof. l.. j. Rich
ardSon in bulletin entitled THE Sol
dirr on Foot" and issued by the Uni
vcrSity of California.
Becoming Il patron of the long
abused pigeon toed man Professor Rich
ardSon says that the normal gait of
man is "Nemplitied by the American
Indian. who walks with his feet set par
aIlrl or even with the toes turned
slightly inward. In this way all the
toes function and the lifting and pro-
polling power of the foot is at its maxi
mum, he says.
While drplorins the army regula-
tiog- requiring soldier to stand with
hiS@ toes turned out at an angle of
about 10 degrees, because of the ten
dcncy to cause aversion of the foot
and weakness of the posterior arch,
Professor Richardson is sufficiently OPP
tIniStic for civilized man to conclude
that in spite OF the inherited and ac-
QulFeu pau H''bllS ne 'dh Atlol III hhu
learn to walk with fair results.
Walking in tight shoes generation
after generation is the cause of nearly
all the foot troubles of civilized man,
the professor says. This condition, he
says, has left but single strong toe
on either foot, the others being in some
measure atrophied.
Frequent washing, trimming the toe
nails and an avoidance of change from
nigh to low heeled shoes are suggested
as means Of obviating much foot
trouble.

MISTAKE WHALE FOR SUB
Huge Carcass Ashore Shows Havoc
of Shell Fire and Depth Bomb.

Seaside Heights n. j., Sept o
carcass of giant whale was wash
ed ashore on the beach here, fioated
n by a high tide and an exceptionally
rough sea.
Those who examined the giant
mammc'ian declared that it was pep
pered with holes by shot and shell
and depth bombs and that there was
no doubt but that ii had been mig
taken for submarine. Some of it
was almost torn apart, and the teeth
were shattered. as were also the
bones of the back and ribs.
One of the shell-shattered teeth,
weighing sixteen pounds. was washed
high up on the beach and was carried
off by souvenir hunters. This mon
ster was viewed by large throngs.
AS much as could be gotten Of the
bomb-splintered whalebOne was car
cied off and proudly exhibited as an
incident of the world war. II also
showed the craftsmanship Of those
who fired on the whale and that they
were not letting anything resembling
a Hun sea wasp escape. The whale
was seventy-two feet long, about thir-
ty-five feet in circumference and
weighed several tons.

a window was opened and with a few
words they were allowed to fly out of
the window and told that they were
to fly home.
But they didn't need TO be told
that. They We're eager to get home.
They wanted to see their friends and
companions. They wanted to tell them
about the show and the people they
had seen. They wanted to tell stories
of the nice little boys and girls who
had liked them and who had not
leased them.
"And, too. they wanted to tell of the
horrid little boys and girls who had
teased them, trying to make them
jump and fly about in tiny cages. They
wanted any pigeons who ever had the

GIRLS who leased little pigeons wfo

watch them and admire them and see
how many different kinds there were.
They wanted to send message say

IS DIE WHEN u. S.

J. Ham Lewis Among Saved

Washington, Sept. I-Thirty-tive
persons, principally members of the
fireroom crew Of the U. $. S. Mount
Vernon, formerly the German liner
KronprinzesSin Cecilie, were killed
when the ship was struck by tor
pedo Thursday last 200 miles off the
French coast. it was announced by
the navy department.
The official announcement states
that Senator James Hamilton Lewis,
Of Illinois, was one of the passengers
returning from Europe and among
those reported safely landed.
The Mount Vernon is one of the
great German ships taken over by
the United States. and has been used
as a transport. 1t was on its return
to the United States when struck
The estimate of its carrying capacity
as troopship places it as near that
of the old Vaterland.
The news that so many of the
ships complement had been killed
was great surprise TO the navy Off
Gals, as the first reports on Friday
indicated that there were few casu-
alties. The Mount Vernon was able
to put buck into port under its own
steam and at a fourteen-knot clip,
which was an indication that it had
not been hit in a vital part so far
as its motive power was concerned.
The official despatch from Vice Ad-
miral Sims follows:
The torpedo struck the ship on
the starboard side, flooding No. 4
fireroom, but the extent of the dam
age is not stated"
This transport is the first of the
big United States ships to be hit

ed official was on board
