Not Only Your
 Poor Feet

The insidious evil Of high heels and narrow pinched toes is greater than most women believe. Ill-bal- anced shoes do more than discom- fort the feet; they cause fallen arches, backaches, nervous strain, displacement of the internal organs, weariness, depression, i'll health.
 Without sacrifice of good looks, the Cantilever Shoe for women gives perfect comfort and perfect carriage. The last conforms to the mould of the foot, with room for the toes, and with trim fit and support about the instep and heel. The outline of the sole and the set of the heel are designed to pre- serve the balance and the beauty of a NATURAL walk.

Especial Dispatch to The Ase-Hernid.b
 Oklahoma City, December IT. = When people go Christmas shopping in Western Oklahoma this year. they leave their pocketbooks on the piano, but take the old farm wagon along. For corn is the current med ium of exchange instead of bills and the ring of the scoop shovel has re- placed the jingle of the cash reg ister.
 Merchants are quoting prices in terms of bushels and accepting grain In place of cash for money Is scarce and corn plentiful. When the farmer buys a silk dress for his wife this Christmas the sales lady probably shows him something attractive for about I 1-4 bushels a yard and the suspenders he will find beside the fireplace will represent about 2 Is bushels of the yield of his fields.

 economic adjustments essential to our common economic recovery.
 ITO this end the committee has been formed as a conference forum in which difference of opinion may be freely aired, and 1t Is hoped, suc- cessfully accommodated In the light of the great public interest involved. The conferences so far held inspire the hope that divisions of activity representing the life of our people can exchange points of view and sue cessfully differing viewpoints under the stimulating impulse of a great necessity for ascertaining and recog- nizing the common interest involved"
 Seriously Hurts Business
 One of the main considerations in- volved in the shippers decision to work with the roads in obtaining lower rates. rather than against them, Is the realization that con tinued agitation for lower rates leaves an attitude of uncertainty among buyers which Is seriously hurting business. So long as buyers may expect substantial rate reduc- tons at an early date they purchase only and-to-mouth requirements. The main volume of orders Is held back in the hope that the benefit of the expected lower rate may be ob- tained.
 Especially is this true in the case of bulky commodities. Coal is notable example. Buyers are not buying In the quantities the coal men have expected and the failure to do so is attributed largely to uncer- tainty as to rate reductions. So long as the buying public feels that 1t won't have to pay as high transpor- tation charges in the near future on it's coal as 1t Is paying now, orders will be held down to bare require ments for current necessities, At least that is the way the coal men figure.
 Of significant interest therefore, is the statement, issued this, week. by the coal industry's representative on the committee. In that statement the possibility of a rate reduction on coal before next spring was declared re- mote. The statement was issued a fter the conference.

The Best Alibi Any Hunter Could GiUe
 for Missing Shots
Especial Dispatch to The AEe-Hernld.)


 Petersburg, Va, December 17.--Maj. John Otey Walkersgot the Job as chief of police of Petersburg because he could shoot. He made quite a reputation for himself in the war shooting Germans and City Manager Louis Brownlow thought he was just the man he needed to stop the boot leggers from killing off all his po- llcemen, The major not only did that. strictly on his reputation, but he taught the policemen how to shoot so they could take care of themselves In case he wasn't around when the fun began. The major thought he would combine business with pleas ure today by taking a couple of his detectives out bird shooting. The sleuths did fine but the major banged away all day without hitting any thing but the crisp Virginia atmos- phere. Along toward evening when the major felt he had been completely disgraced in the eyes of his subordi- mates. he discovered the reason. He had been shooting blanks.

MEXICAN TROOPS SENT
TO TAMPICO DISTRICT
Obregon Government to Protect All
Foreigners There-CaIles Flags
U. S. Oil Producers.

Mexico City, July 9.-Additional
federal troops have been dispatched
to the region of Tampico by the Mexi-
can government for the announced
purpose of ''giving guarantees to ma
tionals and foreigners"
This action was taken, although the
forces regularly maintained around
Tampico, where there is serious
situation arising because of unemploy-
ment, are deemed sufficient to deal
with any emergency, said statement
issued by Fernando Torreblanca, pri-
vate secretary to President Obregon.
Official reassurances were given in
statements to the newspapers that the
Tampico situation does not contain
elements of danger to peaceful returns
between the United States and Mex
leo.
There is no need to give further
thought to the subject" Secretary
Gales, the chief Of cabinet, said. 1.-THE
vessels (the United States warships
at Tampico) belong to friendly ma
ton that merely seeks to protect its
nationals, and this is no reflection on
our national integrity
Secretary Gales has told Mexican
newspaper men that his government
is preparing to unmask American oil
producers" whom he charged with
''scandalous actions, not only against
the Mexican treasury, but against the
United States as WE'LL" This state
ment is published in three Mexico
City newspapers and there is much
speculation as to the meaning Of the
Secretary's statement

DROPS 8 MILES IN 20 MINUTES
Eishteen-Year-oId Girl Leaps From
Airplane With Parachute-Never
Wants to Try 1t Again.

st. Paul. Mimi, July 12.-Phoebe J..
Fairgrave, eighteen years old, of this
city, established what was said to be
a new worlds record for parachute
drop for women when she dropped 15.-
200 feet from an airplane at Curtiss
flying field, near here. The previous
record was said to have been 11,0O0
feet, held by Miss Mabel Cody, set at
Chicago last February. The altitude
was recorded by an altometer, accord
ing to Paul Oldsborough of the Aero
club of Minneapolis, who with V. G..
Omilie, pilot, went up in the plane
with Miss Fairgrave. 1t took exactly
20 minutes from the time Miss Fair
grave leaped until she alighted safely
in a wheat field near New Brighton.
SIT was terrible" said Miss Fairgrave
later. 81 never want to try it again"

MEAT PRICES ARE FALLING
Continued Hot Weather Affects Mar
ket Value of Cheap Cuts, Says
Report.

Chicago, July 12.-Continued ex-
cessively warm weather has affected
meat prices. Not in years have fore
quarters of beef been selling so cheap
Iy as at present, according to a state
ment issued by the Institute of Amer
lean Meat Packers. The statement
says: whole forequarters of excel
lent quality beef now are selling at
wholesale at Chicago for to 8 cents
a pound, and in some cases even less
Even at these relatively low prices the
demand for forequarters and fore
quarter cuts is limited" In comment
ing on the wide price difference be-
tween fore and hindQuarters, and the
limited demand for foreQuarter meats,
the manager of one large wholesale
market said: "The public's demand
for loins, to the exclusion of cuts from
the forequarter, is a hardship on both
wholesaler and retailer. The whole
saler, unable to sell his forequarters
except at a price for below cost, loses
money on them"

SAY IRELAND To
BECOME DOMINION
Reports Assert That an Agree
ment Has Been Reached.
De VALERA GOING TO LONDON
Lloyd George Officially Invites irish
Leader to the Conference to Be
Held in Downing Street
This Week. :

London, July 11.-Premier Lloyd
George officially invited Ealnonn De
Valera to meet him in London this
week to discuss the question of peace
in Ireland
The premier sent the following tele-
gram to the Irish leader:
81 have received your letter of &C
ceptance and / shall be happy to see
you and any colleagues whom you
wish to bring with you to Downing
street any day this week. Please wire
date of your arrival in London
Ireland is to become British do
minion by an agreement already
reached by the British government
with the Sim Fem and the unionists
Of southern Ireland.
The only discontents to this accord
on the eve Of the London conference
are the Orangemen, although the
counties of Ireland where they pre-
dominate are to be offered special
guarantees.
1t is impossible to overemphasize
the Ulster difficulty, but it is to be
pointed out that the historic cycle
again has taken full turn. 1t Is now
Ulster and not south and west Ire
land that is likely to prejudice the
chances of peace.
Must Not coerce.
During the past week Sir James
Craig has assured King George and
Premier Lloyd George that he would
work his hardest to induce his follow
ers TO accept the dominion settlement.
The British government is pledged to
the hilt not to coerce the Orangemen
to accept a settlement of which they
do not approve, but it is certain that
they will have to take less authority
than that conferred on them by the.
partition home rule act which has
land.
Premier Lloyd George spent the
weekend at his country place, but he
was in hourly communication with
Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief secretary
for Ireland, who spends his time at
the Irish Office at the end Of direct
wire leading to Dublin castle, seat Of
the English government in Ireland.
The Irish office issued statement
saying:
'The mere announcement Of the.
truce reacted favorably throughout
the Irish countryside A friendly
spirit is abroad in Ireland. There was
no provOcation on either side. .1here
were only one or two minor outrages.
''The attack on the Belfast patrol
was unfortunate, but it may have
been due to local difficulties outside
the control Of the Sim Fem"
In pursuance Of the terms of the
truce all recruiting for the royal Irish
constabulary has been stopped in Eng
land and the re-enforcements actually
mustered for transport over the week
end have been returned to their de-
pots.
De Valera Issues Statement.
Dublin, July 11.-"Ireland hopes
that the time is not far distant when
she, one of the oldest Of the European
nations, may take her place among
the free peoples of the world"
This statement was given to news
paper men by Eamonn De Valera,
president of the Irish republic" He
added:
SHOULD our hope come to fruitiOn
Europe and all humanity will hear
with profound relief that the use OF
force to overcome the national right
of Ireland has been abandoned after
seven centuries by one of the greatest
military powers of the world"
