HIGH HEELS.

Efforts have been made to set forth the dangers of the high heels on wo- mems shoes from the standpoint of health. The osteopathic con Jenton in Massachusetts heard from one physi- clan that they are a crime, that they not only mean discomfort but they are actually injurious and that law should he passed making it unlawful to make and wear heels which are more than an inch and a half high.
 IL is probable that many individuals have been told much the same thing about the danger to health of high heels and that they aggravate if they do not cause many of the ills with which hu- ~snanity finds itself burdened. But it is invariably the case that warnings do little or no good. There will b. those who do not believe that high heels have any detrimental effect because none has been directly experienced therefrom Others will remember that high heels seem quite comfortable to them and bring to mind the fact that so-and- -sc wears Hry high heels and if there wils any harn from them she would be atre to show it or tell about it, while others VIII see the reasonabeness of the op, position but will not be inclined to give them up because they are so pretty.
 The fact of the matter is, however that just as long as it is the style tC have high heeled shoes, those who ar, slaves to fashion rather than seekers after health and comfort will continu, to wear high heels if it kills them 1 fig well known that you might as wei be dead as out of fashion," and ther are those so unrea easonable as to main tain that the physicians ought not t make such a fuss about high heels sine it doesn'tsdo them any harm how mucl others wear them.
 Doctors realize that to a large degre their responsibility ends in giving ad vice. If those who can be helped b t refuse to follow it the fault rest with them. The appeal to commo sense is what has been made in con nection with high heels and it rest with those who are being injured b them or likely to be to take it or leav t. It is useless to put any hope in tn proposal that there be legislation re garding such matter.

THE GREEK DECISION.

By such large majority that there is no question what the Greeks want the people of Greece have through the plebiscite of Sunday called back their former king and Constantine anticipat- ing such action and eager to go will not be long in responding to the call.
 In tho recent election it was clearly indicated that the Greeks were desirous for the return of Constantine. That was what was intended by the defeat of Venlzelos and the casting aside of his policies but Greece has even gone fur ther and expressed itself clearly upon that point in much tho same manner as might be expected of an independent nation.
 In doing so, however, there has been open disregard for the attitude of the allied powers and the disclosure by them in advance as to what can be ex. Fected from them when Constantine does return. That the Greeks had 2 right to do as they I'.ease cannot bt questioned. It is simply matter q policy Greece fully understands wha dependence it places upon the larger na tions Of EuIo ope in tI.e way of militaf, , and financial support. The allies hay, plainly tcl1 Grerce that they have n; , confidence in Constantine and that tn continuance of favors shown the coun try need not be expected if it calls hin lack to the throne, from which the al i lies were instrumental in having hin deposed.

CHECKING THE spEEDsrEBs

At least one New York judge has come to the conclusion that past prac- tices in the punishment of violatefs of he speed laws is of little or no avail
 II correcting the abuse and in redue-
 lg the dangers in the streets. This is
 l5ciosed when Magistrate House in the traffic court sentenced to ten days in Jail young man who had pleaded guil- ty to driving his car at a rate averaging 51 miles an hour. and after declaring that the prisoner should not be allowed to operate a car in that city Or else where gave warning to the effect that henceforth those found guilty of going faster than 35 miles an. hour would be shown no mercy by the court.
 As was indicated from the very be- ginning, those who have been given 3 fine, whether large or snan, have simp- ly regarded it as a license for exceeding the speed limit. Those who have-had the money to pay have regarded speed ing as matter of special privilege, ant believed that there was no need of re 'specting the law. They have viewed il in the light of indulging in a pleasure for which they were willing to pay ev OAy tiliic ttiCy HdRrtCticug tO BSt CduS without being inclined to curb then dangerous practice.
 The need for taking the stant which the New York magistrate has il nothing new. It has long prevailed ant it is because there has been no adher enee to determination to put an en, to such violations, that many needles , deaths have been caused in the street
 of the big city. The many auto fatali ties are awakening the authorities Q l New York to the need of greater atten
 tion to respect for traffic regulation and general automobile laws For tn tproteetion of law abiding users of tn highways those who insist upon break 1 ing the laws and end9ngering life de i serve to receive penalties which wi 1 cause them to show the proper respec for the rights of others.
 I The traffic courts attitude in impos I ing jail sentences is one that will b ' viewed with much difference concer | than a fine of g. few dollars.

 course that those of other countries do.
 But there is where it's delegates at
 least appear to have slipped up. They
 insisted upon having their own way or
 refusing to stay after having previously
 accepted the covenant. hook. bait and sinksr.
 Such propositions as Argentina made were entirely proper. They should have been allowed to follow their proper course, however, instead of trying to force the other nations to accept some thing which they had right to oppose and on the admission of new members lit must have been known in advancs i that France was dead set against tht | entrance of Germany at the presen tune. Argentina doesn't admit that i should show any consideration for tht opinions of the other members and n 1 that attitude it is indicated what cal /, he expected in the way of similar ac ] tion by other countries in just so far al

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

In his message to congress at the opening of the final session in his ad- rinistration it was anticipated that he V ould have something to say relative to the question of taxation, that he would impress upon the two houses the inn pOriance of keeping before them the needs of the nations calling for early acton and the conditions that call for the exercise of economy in the spend- ing oi the nations money These he did lay stress upon along with other recommendations such as the creation nf a budget system, and as if he had in mind the fact that he had prevented such a system from being in effect 9t the present time he urged that it be d workable" system.
 Once again has he put forth the question of giving independence to the Philippines, a proposition which it is thoroughly understood the country will carry out when it becomes apparent that they have reached the point where they can safely be set adrift without such action being a menace to their own welfare. There are too many eX- amples of the danger involved in has, tening such action, and it is not sur. prising thNt the feeling exists that a much greater service can be rendered them by insuring them adequate protec ton until there is-Ho question abou their ability to go it alone.
