SHOE POINTERS

Few people know how to select shoes these
days SO that they will not have any trouble
with their feet. Foot troubles are mostly
traceable to ill-htting shoes.
recent investigation into the matter by
the National Y. w. C. A. elicted these rules
for selection Of Shoes
1. Straight inner border to follow line of
narmal foot.
2. Room for toes without crowding.
3. Broad low heel.
4. Flexible shank, allowing action of arch
muscles
SLOW cut, permitting free use of ankle
An exhaustive study of the shoe question
was recently made by the board of police sur
geons of New York for the benefit of ten
thousand policemen in that city.
They found among other things that use
or SHOES for many generations has gradually
limited the motion Of the feet, and the con-
slant wearing of badly fitting shoes, and the
improper position in standing and walking,
has deformed our feet until a perfectly nor
NAL foot Is seldom found in adults
The foot. they say, is made up Of number
OF small bones bound together by ligaments
and muscles that help to hold them in an
body is carried on the crown of this arch
The points Of support of the arch are three:
The heel behind and the balls of the great
and little toes in front. This resembles a
three-legged stool
If one sits squarely on such stool it is
frm but sit on the edge and it will upset
So If the foot is turned outward, the weight
OF the body falls on the inside Of the foot
and the foot rolls inward and tends to be-
come flat. But If the toes are turned in a
little the weight of the body is borne equally
by all parts of tn. foot.
II the supports of the foot, the muscles
and Hgaments, waste away or stretch, the
ends OF the arch spread, the fnstep flattens.
the bones press upon the sensitive nerves and
cause pain, while the natural springness of
the foot is impaired and walking becomes
difficult.
Prevention Of flat foot is most important.
1t consists in exercising the feet and legs,
learning to stand and walk correctly, and
wearing the right sort of shoes.
In general the correct shoe is not too
heavy. and one that touches over its entire
length ruler laid along It's inner side Point
ed shoes or any shoes which crowd the bic
toe. outwards, against the other toes, will
cause trouble and are likely to produce flat
feet.
It is well to wear a shoe with flexible
arch, especially II there is any degree II
weakness in the arch OF the foot, as such a
shoe permits the foot to be exercised and al
lows constant change Of position in walking
and standing. 1t Is better to wear a laced
rather than button shoe, so that the press
ure over the instep may be changed for the
sake OF comfort.-Dr. r. H. Bishop.

Using Finger Prints

~ RIGINALLY used in the detection of
crime. finger prints have extended
their range Of usefulness in many di-
.ections, until they bid fair to become gener-
ally employed for purposes of establishing
identity.
Hospitals are safeguarding themselves
against mixed baby" scandals by taking i'm
prints OF the hands and feet of infants, and
depending upon these, with more safety than
metal tags or other devices, to make IL GER
tain that mothers take away their own ba-
bies.
The prediction is made by Henry H. Cald-
we'll, president OF the International Associa-
ton for Identification, that finger prints
eventually will be used in business to estab-
fish identity.
Checks, for example. may be "signed" with
a finger print as we'll as with the signature
OF the maker. Such a use of finger prints
would require specimen finger print Of
every depositor to be placed on file for pur-
poses of comparison, as signatures are now
lsed.
Someone also suggests the use Of finger
prints to prevent election frauds, by requir-
ing each voter on registering to give fin
ger print specimen, to be compared with the
finger print on the ballot at the election pre-
cinct. This would assuredly prevent ire
peatng." although it might be difficult to
work out a system which was not compli
Gated and slow.
Finger prints on checks, deeds, notes and
other instruments would destroy the forgery
Industry. and the complex necessities of mod
ern business may bring them into general
use for this purpose.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 17.-You
wv may not be in a position to offer a
regular job to any one, but never
theless you can do your share toward help
ing the unemployed.
You CT; do this by having done now work
that must be done some time. If the front
porch or the barn needs coat Of paint, If the
furnace needs fixing, If you contemplate
building chicken house or laying a side
walk, il your premises need cleaning up
have it done now. Even to have your hair
cut or your shoes shined when YOU can well
afford 1t and might otherwise neglect it, is
to add something to the sum total of work.
This is the plea of Colonel Arthur Woods,
Of New York, who j. chairman of the COM
mittee on civics, community and emergency
measures Of the unemployment conference.
His job is to fiEd immediate ways Of placing
people in industry while the conference
makes thorough study of the situation, and
especially to help in municipal and other COM
munity efforts to solve the problem.
His work has just begun. He is getting in
touch with the mayor of every city in the
United States having a. population of $4,000
or more, with the exception Of some cities
which have already tackled the problem with
such energy and skill that they are obviously
not in need Of an. help.
Cities Doing Good Work
The number OF cities which are already
doing good work is considerable, and will
eventually grow That, in fact, is the strik-
ing feature of the situation. The country
is carrying the unemployed on its conscience
in a way that is wholly unprecedented. There
have been man. worse spells Of unemlloy-
ment in the history of this country than the
present one. The usual attitude toward them
in the past las been to ignore them. The
theory has been that If you do not talk or
write about hard times they will disappear.
Bury your head in the sands OF optimism and
you are safe. The ostrich-like attitude has
suddenly disappeared The unemployment
problem is a leading feature of news and
conversation. The country seems suddenly
to have awakened to the fact that a man
who wants to work and is able to work, but
can find no work to DO is a political and eco
nomtc liability which the country can not
afford. He is proof positive that the social
machine does not function we'll. He is at
once the strongest argument Of the agitator.
and his most receptive auditor.
The Woods committee aims to act as a
clearing house for Information as to how
the unemployment problem may be set by
communities. Portland, Oregon, for exam
Pile, is solving its unemployment problem
with great satisfaction. In this as in other
cities, charity and waste are frowned upon.

eth in Boarding House dreameth of love-
in-a-bungaiow and home cooking. AS a pet

He that hath been single and womanless
for many years preferreth freedom and his
OWN ways to feminine coddling; he hath
learned to put the studs in his shirt and to

THOSE YOU DISLIKE
BV n. AddingtOn Bruce


THERE are certain people, you tell me, who
jar upon you unaccountably. You dislike
them without exactly knowing why You
| cannot bear to be in their company.
1t might pay you to inquire somewhat closely
into the reason or reasons for these puzzling
averSionS
Possibly you would find in some cases that
they are grounded in physical resemblance
between the persons you dislike and other per-
sons who in the past have done you injury.
In such an event it might we'll be that you
are justified in the dislike you entertain For
the manner of PERSONS thinking tends always
to affect his features and his expression So
that the similarity between the disliked persons
| appearance and the appearance of those who
have wronged you may actually be due to a
similarity of thinking.
But do not jump to this conclusion. Having
discovered that there is such resemblance in
appearance, make some study of the character
of the objects of your dislike. You may find
that the resemblance is no more than physical
and that actually they are as admirable in char
acter as your old enemies were despicable.
Or the dislike that puzzles you may be due
to some character defect in yourself.
Let us suppose, for example, that you are of
vacllating, undecided disposition, deficient in
initiative. In such case you will be apt to
dislike any conspicuously decisive, aggressive
fortably inferior when in his presence
People naturally resent anything that creates
in them feeling-albet perhaps wholly sub
conscious feeling-of inferiority. If person
creates such feeling the tendency consequent
ly Is to dislike that person.
Bear this in mind when asking yourself "Why
do dislike So-and-so?" The outcome may
be some unexpected self-revelation, leading to
necessary and most helpful strengthening of
the character.
Finally, the dislike at which you wonder may,
Of course, have its roots in an intuitive percep-
ton of serious defects in the character of the
person diSliked
Everybody carries in the storehouse of his
mind-his ubconScious-more or less knowl-
edge OF the bodily signs of mental and emo
tional states. Such knowledge is inevitably
CLEANED through observation and experience As
result character reading from the features
is more or less possible to everybody. .
You, without knowing it, may be drawing
upon SubconsciouS Knowledge of this sort to
warn yourself to have little to do with the one
whose personality repels you.

SCHOOL girl asks me If will tell her
what tact is, and how she can ac-
mira it

quire it.
| Why, my dear, tact is just the golden rule
put into action. It is doing unto others as
you would have them do unto you. 1t is
saying to other people the agreeable little
things that you would like them to say to
you. 1t is showing unto others the courteous
little attentions that it would please you to
death to have other people show to you. 1t
is keeping off the grass of other peoples lit
tie prejudice and peculiarities as you would
like to have them keep off of yours.
Tact is the ultimate expression of good
breeding, good manners, and good feeling.
Tactful people are those who. always make
you feel comfortable and at ease in their
presence, and pleased with yourself. They
never irritate you nor antagoniZe you. They
never wound and mortify you. They never
argue. They never intrude their own opin-
ions, unless it is necessary, and when they do
they never try to force them upon you.
They are just as loyal to their beliefs as
you are to yours, but they express them in a
way that leaves no rancour, and makes you
feel that intelligent people may disagree on
their point Of view without calling each other
names
There are two ways, the right way and the
wrong way, of doing even the right thing.
Haven't you had people give you things in
| way that made you want to fling them back
in their faces, and haven't you had people re-
fuse you things so graciously that you act
ually felt grateful for what you didn't get?
I1dRSu you udu pSOplS invite you TO Lnolr
houses in manner that made you feel that
they were doing it under compulsion, and be-
cause it was an obligation they could no long
er escape, and haven't you been asked to
other places in a way that made you feel that
your hostess was simply pining for your So
ciety, and that she would consider it an honor
and pleasure to have yoL beneath her roof?
That's the difference between tact and lack
of tact.
Haven't you got an Aunt Susanna who
never gives you a five dollar bill without ram
ming moral lecture down your throat with
it, and telling you how she has to deny her.
herself to give to the poor? And haven't you
had Mrs Blank say to you, II told my daugh-
ter she really MUST in wife you to spend a
weekend with us, you get out so little?"
Tact is the magic that enables us do even
! unpleasant things in pleasant way. It
sugar coats its lectures. It takes the sting
out of its reproof 1t does not dwell upon our
weaknesses so much as it insists upon our
good qualities until it inspires us to develop
what is best in us.
Tact makes us remember. 1t keeps us from

More Mennonites

Sixty-two Mennonites from southern Rus
STA, who have been held for two months at
Ellis Island while their case was under in
vestigation by the department of labor, have
been admitted to this country under $500
bond each and set out at once for Lancas-,
ter, Pa. The cult will send them to various
parts of the United States as farm laborers.
Eighty-two thousand more Mennonites
are awaiting the final decision in the case
of this advance party before taking ship to
the United States Those released were halt
ed at Ellis Island because their passage to
the United States had been paid by the
American Mennonite Relief association.
Their assertion was that each had given
the association his note for the amount of
the passage money and, therefore, the con-
tract labor law was not violated.
1t is thought that the Mennonite immi.
grants constitute a serious problem that
soon must be settled definitely. In Canada
they were held to be undesirable residents,
and 5000 of them were driven out of the
Dominion, although they had holdings there
aggregating $12,000,000.
