HOW Shoes Show Occupation.

When "A person habitually wears his
shoes TO one side know his occupation
keeps him standing UP a good deal. and
the tired body will force the shoe over.
"a dainty walker and dancer almost
always interfere or wears one ankle of
against the other.
"A forCeful character walks heels and
toes and wears them both down.
"A small or slender foot probably was
a heritage from artorrati" ancestors
who rode good deal. Vice versa. a
large flat foot might indicat" pcIsantry
or soldier forhrarS

SAYS CLARlNC
HEADLIGHTS
MUST GO
Secretary of State Black
Discusses Auto

"Glaring headlights will have to
go" declared Secretary of State
Harry A. Black, who attended the
Coolidge reception at Plymouth yes
terday. "There are a lot of people in
Vermont who are insisting on using
the glare headlights IN, spite of the
law. There is going to be heavy
punishment for those who persist in
so doing"
This answer was made in reply to
question in regard to the most
drastic measure to be taken with
law breaking automobilists.
Regarding the question of licenses
Mr.. Black said that many people
were usino fakes. "A number of
people,, he declared, "have register
ed only one of their cars. When they
get through using that car they
simply transfer the license to an
other. In cases like this the punish
ment is often more than twice as
much as it would have cost them to
take out license in the first place" ."
Mr. Black said that there were more
or less cases of people driving with
out licenses and also children, under
age who were not authorized to drive.
Mr.. Black was next asked if there
were manv cases of accidents which
were caused by drunken drivers.
ave have had some of these cases
reported particularly near the Cana
dian border. There are also, l think,
many cases of drunken motorists who
are driving on open county roads
and who are lucky enough not to get
hurt" .'
The secretary of state was asked
next about the case of Edward Da-
ley of BURLINGTON who was recently
hardened by Governor Clement. The
only statement that he authorized
was to the effect that, "The mere
fact that Daley was pardoned by the
governor does not mean that he is
entitled to an automobile license"
In reply to a question regarding
Daley's obtaining license in another
state, Mr.. Black replied that it would
be impossible for him to do SO un-
less Daley misrepresented the facts
of the case or unless the authorities
of the other state were ignorant of
his havino been convicted for man
slaughter He could not drive in this
state if were SO licensed.

ARMORY AND
NATIONAL ,;1i ..,;;1
ARE INSPECTED

guard drilled on Tuesday night be-
fore the Adjutant-G General, Lt.-Col
Herbert T.-Johnson, and. Major Er.
nest W. Gibstjr 70 rbf 4:Eis fifs atate helid-
quarters. The two officers observed
the local company as it went through
hayonet drill, extended order drill
and the position and aiming drills
with rifles,and they expressed them
selves as pleased with the appear.
ance and spirit of the men of Co. d.
On August the company goes to
Camp Devens for it's two weeks sum-
mer encampment, and the inspection
was in the nature of final "once-
over" before the company goes.
The condition of the armory was
also closely observed. The roof of
the forepart of the building, in which
are located the recreation rooms and
Offices, has several bad leaks through
which water spreads throughout the
plaster. These leaks will be cared
for Immediately. In the large drill
hall, there was but one small leak
which will also be Immediately at
tended to.
1t is very probable that specifca.
tions on several other arnories in
other parts of the state will be modi-
fled as result of the discoveries. The
type of roofing on the forepart of the
building will be changed to something
more durable on building erected in
the future.
