THE TRUTH ABOUT SHOES.

Waterloo T~imes-Tribune At the:
meeting in Des Moines the pent up
feelings OF Iowa retail shoe men were
given air. What they would not dare
tell their customers privately, they an
nounce publicly and all together. They
are prepared to make the bold stand.
They tell them that the specially de-
signed. embroidered, diamond set,
lace trimmed, hand painted shoe, must
cost a heap of money. They tell them
that the high heels and narrow toe are
nothing in which to incase the feet.
They tell them that the shoe must be
made to fit the foot, that the foot can
not be made to fit the shoe without in
jury to said feet. Nature did not see
fit to make the foot taper at the toe to
a point; it did not make the foot to be
blocked up three inches at the heel
Ii corns and bunions and other things
were expected to come they would be
there in the beginning and would not
be a source of pain. If high heels We're
supposed to fit the foot the legs would
be so constructed that the muscles
would not be torn and misplaced at
every step and the bones would not be
~dislocated.
Shoes are made, or should be made,
to protect the feet, not to twist and
misplace them. these shoe men tell
the women. The proper shoe is the
low heel and the broad toe designed to
fit the natural foot. They are not
made, or should not be made, to look
pretty. 1t should not be that the wom-
en- trip painfully to the mirror to see
how a new shoe looks, but that she
should stand on it squarely and feel
how it fits. So much the retail men
tell the women of Iowa. Brave men!
They stand together, in phalanx, and
tell the truth.

own national parks will be more attractive than
the scenes of ruin between Paris and Berlin.
Those people need no urging to induce them
to "See America First" To other Americans,
there is nothing of interest equal to that which
may be found on foreign soil. 1t will be folly
to reason with them, for they will HE themselves
across the Atlantic as soon as they can do so
without personal danger. In the meantime,
Secretary Lane is to be commended for doing
all in his power to maintain and improve the
national parks so that all reasonable comforts
and conveniences, shall be ready for those loyal
Americans who preach and practice America
first

"AMERICA FIRST"

Secretary of the Interior Lane has just an
nounced the open periods for tourist travel to
the various national parks, which serves to re-
mind us that although most people will be too
busy with war work this year to do any tour
ing, yet the parks are being kept up, as they
should be, ready for the visits of tourists when
war tasks are over. There are many indica-
tons that as soon as peace has been declared,
there will be a rush of Americans to the battle
fields of E~urope-people actuated by much the
same impulse that draws a crowd around the
scene of a crime where innocence has fallen
the victim of brutality. Quite likely lots Of
people who are trying to avoid a trip to France
now, will be there in great numbers when the
war is over. To most Americans, the beauties
and inspiring grandeur of the scenery OF our

UNDER THE LEAVES.

Without the blessed foreknowing
That underneath the withered leaves
The fairest buds were growing.

And shows the sweet arbutus howers,-
Springs children, pure and tender.

Gods sees sweet flowers growing.

WAR NOT GREATEST EVIL.
John Stuart Mills)

War, in a good cause, is not the
greatest evil which nation can suf-
fer. War is an ugly thing, but not
the ugliest of things; the decayed
and patriotic feeling which thinks
nothing worth war is worse. When
a people are used as mere human in
struments for firing cannon or thrust
ing bayonets in the service for the sell
| fish purposes of a master, such war
degrades a people. A war to protect
other human beings against tyranni-
cal injustice; a war to give victory to
their own ideas of right and good,
which is their own war. carried on for
an honest purpose by their free choice
is often the means of their regenera-
|tion. A man who has nothing which
he Is willing to fight for, nothing
which he cares more about than he
does about his personal safety, is a
miserable creature, who has no
chance of being free, unless made and
kept so by the exertions of better men
than himself. AS long as justice and
injustice have not terminated their
ever renewing fight for ascendency in
the affairs of mankind, human beings
must be willing, when need is, to do
battle for the one against the other.

Adjudcations.

A plaintiff seeking an injunction TO
restrain trespass, based his title on an
alleged mining location, made accord
ing to law. but subsequently included
within the boundaries of a national
forest reserve. Defendant interposed
plea of former adjudication by the
secretary of the interior of the nom
mineral character of the land given at
former period in denying plaintiffs
application for mineral patent to his
claim, and claimed that plaintiffs To-
cation was therefore void because of
lack of discovery. Held, Judgment for
defendant. Decisions of the land de-
partment have the effect of final ad-
publications as to matters properly
within its jurisdiction, such as deter
mination of the character of the land
in patent proceedings, and will be so
recognized by the courts. A later
judgment establishing plaintiffs title
as against other parties will not avail
plaintiff in this case, because the gov
eminent was not a party to that suit

Branches of Service.

Branches of Service.
The United States civil service COM
mission announces that on March II,
1918, the president approved a joint
resolution Of congress suspending,
during the period of the present war,
the operation Of the provision of law
which required applicants for civil
service examinations to be examined
| in the state or territory in which they
reside. During the period of the war,
therefore, applicants for any eXamin-
alton held by the commission may be
examined at any place at which the
examination is held, regardless of
their place of residence.
An act of July 2, 1909. required eX-
aminations to be taken in the state OF
residence. While this provision Is
suspended for the period of the war,
it is still required that only those who
have been actually domiciled in the
state or territory in which they reside
for at least one year previous to the
examination may become eligible fol
permanent appointment to the appor-
Itioned departmental service in Wash
Iington, ID. c.
The commission expects this change
to make it easier to obtain applicants
for positions in Washington. Com
potent stenographers, typists anc

held weekly throughout the country

MORE WOMEN WANTED.
MAKE SURGICAL DRESSINGS

The national organization Of the
Red Cross is urging the local chap
ter to increase the output of scrgi.
cal dressings for reasons that must
be obvious. The intense fighting
that is now going on on the west
ern front in France, in which Am
erican soldiers are now taking an
active part, is increasing the num-
Der of wounded soldiers by thous-
ands. Under these circumstances
there can be no such thing as an
over production of surgical dres-
sings; in fact, it is feared that there
will be a shortage. For this rea-
son every woman who can possibly
do so should give some time every
week to this work. 1t Is now the
most urgent. and the work must be
done even if it requires the neglect
of other duties. Go to the head
quarters any afternoon or evening
in the White & Bender block 1t
is your patriotic duty.
