See Red Nose Army
As Latest Menace

The Russian-American press is
conducting an energetic campaign
against "moonshining." A Bridge
port. Conn, correspondent of the
"Noyoe Russkoe Slovo," a New York
Russian newspaper, writes as fol-

I'VE have here in America a Red

Although prohibition is in force in
the United States, there are still
plenty of saloons, and many Rus

recognize these peoples friends by
their noses, and we call them the

Testing the Air Yachts.
AS a means of testing their stamina
and reliability the two aeromarine
cruisers were flown down the Atlantic
coast from New York to Havana, a
distance Of 1000 miles, just before the
Key West-Havana mail service was
inauguarated The 1900 miles were
licked off behind them as regularly as
a watch marks OF the seconds, al
though no effort was made TO try for
a speed record The big cruisers can
do 100 miles an hour, but this is not
unsurpassabie speed for plane by
any means. The aeromarines. with
their Injurious cabins and other fine
passenger facilities are not racing
planes but air yachts designed to car
ry passengers swiftly, yet In comfort.
According to reports reaching New
York, the big air cruisers. named the
Pinta and Santa Maria in honor of two
of the caravels of Columbus, "hopped'
to Norfolk, Va, on the first day OF the
journey and there permitted the score
of passengers and the members of the

The aeromarines completed their

How to Get "FIat FootP

To return to the changes occasioned
the foot and lower leg through the use
of high heels. Normally the group Of
muscles forming the calf of the leg are
long enough to allow the heel to rest
on the same plane with the ball of the
foot. With the elevation of the heel
bone, due to the modern shoe, these
muscles shorten or contract to de-
gree governed by the height Of the
heel. With this there Is naturally a
corresponding lengthening and weak
ening of the muscles in the front and
at the sides of the leg and the normal
play of the opposing muscle groups no
longer exists.
1t remains only a question of time
before the slack, created by the short
ening of the powerful calf muscles, be-
comes q perlnanent shortening with far
reaching and injurious results.
This permanent shortening OF the
tendon Achilles, the powerful tendon
that attaches the calf muscles to the
back OF the heel bone, prevents plant
foot function. and brings about series
Of changes in the position Of the bones
Of the foot. Because of the elevation
of the heel, the ankle Joint, which nor
mally acts as hinge, cannot now move

by bending the knee, but with the

How Shoes Affect Health

shortening Of the calf muscles, the
knee cannot be bent to a degree suffi-
cient to allow this accommodation. The
movement, normally at the ankle joint,
now takes place in the bones of the
foot just below and in front of the
ankle, producing fiat foot.
Can You Wear Low HeeIs7
1t is pleasing to note that with the
advent of the so-called sports shoe,
there is a marked tendency on the part
Of our women to return to a lower
heel, but it must not be forgotten, that
in case where there has been g per-
manent shortening of the heel cord, it
is almost impossible to wear a lower
heel with comfort. We hear so many
women say that they cannot wear a
low heeled shoe, sand the reason IS
easily found in their years Of slavery
to the high heel.
This does not mean that they are
bound to this curse OF fashion for life.
but It necessitates a course Of exer-
else, tending to lengthen the calf mus
cles, before a lower heel can be worn
with comfort and without injurious
results.
The combination of a pointed toe
with a high heel is almost fatal to foot
comfort. The bad results of the
"toothpiek'' toe are not apt to be so far
reaching as those occasioned by the
high heel, but the bones of the toes
are subjected to crowding and cramp-
ing and are, consequently, forced into
abnormal position with painful results
in the foot itself.
"Toothpick Toes"
II is readily seen that the high heel
throws a great and unnatural amount
of the body weight upon the forward
part of the foot, which necessitates
more or less spreading of the bones in
that region, the five metatarsals and
those of the toes. This must happen
in order to properly withstand and alb
sorb the shock. III a pointed toed
shoe they are not allowed to main
tain even their normal position, let
alone adjust themselves for any shock
absorbing purposes.
IN consequence, we llnQ the neadS OF
the metatarsaI bones (loeated at the
broadest part Of the bali of the foot)
being forced down out Of normal align
ment. AS this occurs the bones do not
drop straight but tilt and are at times
forced together In such a manner as
TO impinge one or more of the branch
nerves supplying the toes. This causes
the painful conditions known as Nor
toms toe IF the nerve pressure be be-
tween the third and fourth heads) and
metatarsalgia, if it be general through
out the whole region.
Practically every callous on the bot
tom Of the foot is caused by the coun-
ter pressure Of these misplaced meta
tarsal heads against the sole of the
shoe.
Pointed shoes also cause the tendons
in some toes to contract and thus pro-
duce hammer" toes. They. also cause
toes to overlap because there is in
sufficient room in the shoe for them to
lie fiat, and they undoubtedly have
much to do with the formation of bun
ions. All corns occurring on these
toes are caused by the digits being
forced into positions where direct pres
sure or friction from the shoe is
brought upon them.-The Telephone

MEN NOTINVITED,
OFFICERS REFUSE
TODANCE IN ROME,

ROME, Ga. Jan. 26.-Oficers of
an army detachment here for recruit
ing purposes Saturday night refused
to attend a dance arranged in their
honor because enlisted men of the
detachment were not invited. The
commanding officer refused to allow
the military band to play at the pro-
posed dance, and the young ladies of
Rome, who had arranged the affair,
deeply hurt, called the function off.
Major ]. A Haywood, commanding
offfcef,. asserts that. 'if my enlisted
men cannot be entertained, my offic-
ers will not be. I welcome this in
cident as showing democratic spirit
of the new army. In the old army
this would not have been possible.
We expect to travel throughout the
STATE and l put the people on notice
that where the enlisted men are in
vited the officers will go, and not
elsewhere. That point was decided
before we started on our recruiting
trip
Major Haywood declares that a
committee declined to arrange a
dance for the enlisted men after be-
ing requested to do SO The commit
tee says the only reason Tor declina-
ton was that it was impossible to
obtain dancing partners for nearly
200 men in Rome, and that no hall
was large enough to accommodate
that number, while plans for a street
dance We're abandoned due to the OPP
position of church people and bad
weather.
The troops are from Camp Gordon
and Camp Benning and have been
here for a week, stimulating re-
Cruiting and illustrating army life
to the people. They left Sunday
morning for Dalton.
