Professional
Dancers wear them

Dancers must safeguard the
health and comfort of their feet
most carefully. Many professional
dancers have adopted Cantilevers
for their off-stage footwear, because
they realize the benefit and enjoy
the freedom Of these flexible-shank
shoes. The Cantilever Shoe is pat
termed with extraordinary care to
fit the arch Of the foot. 1t supports
the arch. But it does not contain
steel shank-piece as ordinary shoes
do. The Cantilever Shoe bends as
easily as the foot. 1t encourages
the muscles to exercise, keeps them
supp.e and strong. Dancers, teach
ers, saleswomen, housewives, all
women who must be much on their
feet, should try these graceful, COM
Portable shoes.
The last follows the lines Of the foot
The natural inner sole line allows the
toes 10 pol mt straight ahead in their nor
NAL healthy position. The heels are set
to encourage good posture, and they ac-
cord with the now style.
If you have been suffering from, IA.
tigue. uackache. headaches, nervousness
burning or aching feet. change for
month to Contlever Shoes. Thev viii

joyment of comfort

President Notifies Envoy
To Sign Pact.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 24.-Pres-
ident Harding today laid before the
Republican members of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee the pro-
posed treaty of peace with Germany.
The treaty received their unanimous
approval, the White House stated.
Senators who attended the confer
ence, in which Secretary of State
Hughes participated, said that the
terms of the treaty had been explain
cd to them, but that all statements as
to the contents of the treaty and its
statute must come from the President
or the Secretary Of State.
The treaty is complete and there
will be no preliminary treaty or pro-
tocol as has been suggested, the
President informed the Senators.
No suggestion is made in the treaty
that Germany should assume respon-
sibiity for the war, it was learned.
The treaty is comparatively short
and it is understood that it is not
more than 1000 words in length.
The treaty. it was learned, recog-
nizes all of the rights established for
the United States under the Ner-
sailles treaty, even though this ma
ton has not ratified that pact. All
property and other rights which the
United States assumed under the Yer
sailes pact are protected in the treaty
now about to be signed, although
there is express provisions that the
United States assumes some Of the
responsibilities OF the Ferval!lcs
