BALTIMORE, Feb 32.-Herbert
C. Hoover declared today in an ad-
dress at Johns Hopkins University his
opposition to making the peace treaty
campaign issue. He insisted that its
injection into the campaign would

Hope for immediate ratification rest

the mild reservationists. The two
combined, he said, could secure rati-

summarized as follows:
"That the object of all national
economic policy must be to maintain
and improve the standard of living of
the whole population.
"That the standard of living is the
direct quotient of the amount of COM
modities and services that are avail
able among the total population.
Therefore the standard cannot be
maintained or improved unless there
is maintenance and increase in the
production of commodities and SER
vices up to the maximum need of the
entire number.
THAT the human animal labors un-
der the major impulse of securing for
himself a direct share in consump-
ton of commodities and services,
either today or in savings for his old
age and protection of his dependents
after death. His minor impulse is
the JOY of craftsmanship and a spirit
of service to the community. Social
ism will be possible when in the dim
future the latter becomes the domi-
nant impulse-and then it won't be

That the development and selec-
ton of abilities and character for
leadership, direction and invention in
industry cannot be obtained by the
benevolent state-or the politician.
The infinite variety of hand and brain
can find it's maximum development,
equality of opportunity and position
only through the fire of competition.
THAT capital is constituted solely
of the savings of the community, dead
or alive, above its daily consumption,
and these savings are represented in
of great currents of social agitation.
Yet practical craftsmanship requires
that within our abilities a constant
accounting should be taken of the
tangible results of the forces abroad,
if the development of our liberal in
stitutions and progress of orderly
government is to be maintained and
revolution avoided. We shall never
remedy justifable discomfort until we
eradicate the misery which the ruth

Recently / saw a number of beau
tifully dressed children at juvenile
lawn party, and. there were so many
signs of physical neglect about some
of the miniature men and women
that / felt inclined to regret the time
the mothers had wasted on their

One dainty little woman of six

fully weak ankles was shod in pair
of strap slippers. Besides these de-
fects, noticed signs of round shoul-
ders in other children, one interest

Now what is the most valuable
thing a child can possess if 1t be not
health? And why so many gewgaws
outside when precious bones and
muscles are all going wrong for the
want of a little sensible attention?
Corrective Boots.
Consider first the awkward habit
children have, and which, If not cor
rected when the limbs are PLASTIC.
will become a lifetime defect. There
is a toe-in shoe which the orthopedic
bootmakers supply, and which can
sometimes be had at the large de-
partment stores-the shops that
make a speciality of children's wear
are bound to have it. The device
for the correction of this fault In
this boot is very simple and at the
same time thoroughly effective, and
it consists of the sole being built w
on the outer edge at the toe.
But the mother must not depend
simply on the toe-in shoe for the
correction of the habit. She must
admonish the child every now and
then to turn the toes out, or tell il
to walk with the heels close to-
gether. which would likewise bring
the feet in more graceful position
The splay-foot habit is even ugliei
than this and far more dangerous tC

the feet in this position throws al

of these shoes to attract attention
no ugly brace or leather bands.
Each sort looks like any high laced
boots. and the two kinds are about
the same price ready made.
Any sign of flatfoot in a child
should at once be treated with high
boots made in a manner to support
the arch of the foot, as this defect
spoils all the beauty of the foot and
walk, and in extreme cases il is as
bad as a definite lameness. In fact,
flatfoot means that the arch is
breaking down or has already reach
ed that point, and aside from the
ugly look the condition is extremely
painful and the strain tells on all the
health. Instep arch supports, maze
to put in any shoe a size larger than
the one usually worn, can also be
had in any shop with shoe depart
ment. But if the defect Is accom-
panied by weak ankles it Is best TO
get steel support combining the
ankle device. or else go to the ortho-
pedic bootmaker and have boots
made according to his notion. The
steel braces now made for this
double purpose are covered over with
kid, so that the contrivance looks
scarcely different from a high boot;
but the orthopedic shoe for the arch
and ankle support seems exactly ike
any stout laced shoe.
Remind Them.
Walking or standing with the
knees crooked is merely a bad habit
in a child, and it must be corrected
with incessant reminder, and an IN
clination toward round shoulders
can be treated to a great extent In
the same manner Give the child
vanity a boost by telling il to go
and look in the glass when 1t is mis-

a while merely saying the word
glass will be a reminder OF the
misconduct. But If physical weak
ness attends the trick of dropping
the shoulders over go to the emil
dren's corset department in any Dig
store and ask for linen brace, and
make the child wear IL until III gets
over the trick.

in the cure of little juvenile defects

After the bath, if the oil massage
