But Two Returned. ~ 80.

Twelve girls, six white nd six COL
ored. escaped. from the National
Training School for Girls, Conduit
and Loughborough roads, early last
evening. Their escape became known
shortly after fha girls left. AL but
two were returned before daybreak.
Marie GosneIl and Lois Cerratt, who
had escaped earlier In the day. were
not captured.
Search for the fugitives provided
what women connected with the in
stitution termed wild night" TAX

woods In Maryland. where cabins,
outbuildings and the woods were
On the field set apart for the white
girls there was q game Of base bali
being played late yesterday after
noon. while on the colored side the
girls were engaged at other games
A commotion on the colored side re.
vealed the absence Of the six girls.
1t also developed that four OF the
white girls also were not there to
answer night roll call.
Trusted inmates Of the institution
were sent out in search of the runa-
ways, officials and the police Joining
In the hunt. Later Detective Henry
Pratt led the searching party through
the woods. being assisted by a Mont
gomery county officer.
1t was but a short while before
some of the colored TRUSTEES" re-
turned with their runaway compan-
ions. It developed that two of the
white girls had met two boys on the
road and accompanied them a short
distance, and 1t was from the boys

APPEAL TO! Union
TO SAVEU...S.: Jobs
Federal Employees Through
out Country. Asking Aid OF.
.-.. :, Federation Here.

Government workers in all parts OF
the country are asking the assistance
of the National Federation o. Federal
Employees in preventing discharges
slated for July I. No protest Is being
made against reductions based upon
the evident intent of Congress- II Is
stated.
Miss McNally. who is In charge OF
Of National President Luther c. stew
ard. stated today that 1t would not De
the policy of the organization TO urge
retention of any one whose services
vyere not needed. She stated, however.
that officials of the oganization were
conferring continuously with depart
ment heads and bureau chtefs, with
view to distributing the burden as
fairly as possible.
1T is felt by the organizaGon, aI salo
Miss McNally. that the guiding prin-
ciple in reducing the force should pc

the order Of their juniority. Certain
executions should, of course, be maoe
in the case of efficient employees.
Where appropriations have been cut IN
the case Of bureaus having omceS
throughout the country, the National
Federation Is endeavoring to assure an
equitable distribution Of the burden
throughout the entire country so as not
to work an undue hardship upon em-
ployes stationed at any particular
city,"
charging that civil service employees
are receiving notices of discharge
while many persons without any civil
service standing whatever are being
retained.

ADJUSTMENTS
Navy League War Views.

The famous collection Of war views
On land and sea, which was made. by
the official cameramen Of the United
States military services during the
world war. was given its first local
presentation. to the public last night
at Gonzaga Hall. under the auspices
of the Navy League OF the United
States. for the benefit Of Vincent B.
Costello Post Of the American Legion.
1t 10 q remarkable Photographic re.
Election Of battles On land and at sea.
one OF its great features being the
famous smoke screen whereby the
transports were made safe from at
tack by submarines. The exhibition
will be repeated this afternoon at 2
o'clock and this evening at 8 o'clock.
Entirely unlike war pictures which
have heretofore been shown, these
pictures are authentic views Of the
events they present, and therefore are
not artincially sensational or dis
torted. When shown In New York
state for few times earlier in the
season, they called forth columns Of
coInmendation by the press. They ara
well worth seeing, especially to those
whose Interest In the world war has
not su6Bided entirely.

To Protect the Perfect Foot

From the artistic point Of view the passage
Of the law against the wearing Of the high heel
would, II its enemies are truthful, be q good
thing. The interesting X-ray photos on this page
reveal how the high heel cramps the bones Of the
feet into defOrmity. II clearly shows the tsrsAl,
the metatarsal and the phalanges bones pushed
out Of their natural places. And, even though,
the advocates Of high heels insist, this condi-
ton does not cause bsckache, nervous disorders
and other ills of the body, the displacement Of
the framework of the foot does affect its shape.
And that should not be for no less an authority
than Nikolas Schottenstein, wearer of the order

when age creeps on and approaching seniiity ia
precipitated by misshapen joints, bunions, corns
broken arches or inrtowing heels. The entire
body is distorted ard daformed through the ef-
fects Of mizzhapen feet
"A prominent orthopedist has shown % that
women require corsets as a result Of deformed
feet, on account of the body being thrown out Of
plumb; this also produces a sJnkeu chest, pro-
trUding stomach, backache, stopped shoulders,
serious dsplacemeuts and other confusions in
the internal organs, among which are also de
verse digestive impairments, bad breath, dead
teeth and asthma

Of Franz Joseph for merit in art, says the Ameri-
can girl has the prettiest foot in the world Says
this artists
THE American girl has the most perfect feet
In the world, and nowhere have / seen such feet,
so well shaped, gracefully used, so neatly and
attractively shod"
But from what the opponents Of the anti-high
heel legislation say if high heels are worn much
longer the American girls feet will be as mis-
shapen as those Of the celestials
Interesting, indeed is the explanation given
as TO the various ways in which high heels cause
injuries The first one is merely matter of bal
ance' The shoeless foot supports the weight Of
the body at three'points under the big and little
toes on the so-caled ball of the foot and direct
~ IN the centre OF the heel. Faulty foot posture,
caused by high heels, distributes this support dis
proportonately and the result, after a time. IL
the straining Of the over-taxed muscles and ten
dons and the atrophy of those that are not called
on to do their natural tasks The result is the
mlsshapen foot which causes It is alleged. s.l
sorts Of bodily ills, and often brings about nerv
Gus disorders
An expert has figured out Just what tiltino
up the heel means. A heel three-quarters Of an
inch high lifts the foot enough TO throw the BODY
nine inches off its natural vertical line. Tbi,

elevation will be one and one-half inches. Any
heels higher will promptly be Topped of, even
though they may be- attached to shoes being
worn TO a gathering of the elite.
Nor Is It law that may be trifed with, ac-
eording to its drastic terms It has far more
teeth than Mr.. Volsteads statute in the matter of
sentence. A woman found guilty--or man, for
that matter-of having in his or her possession
pair of the offending heels will be fined not less
than $50 nor more than $500 and second offense
makes one liable to not less than 80 days nor
more than years imprisonment
However, in some Of the states the bill has
one extenuating feature. 1t won't go into effect
before Jan. 1, 1925. Which gives a breathing
spell-a wearing spell, anyway. The sponsors
of this reform legislation say that it will give
ample opportunity to all the girls who wish to
wear out their shoes in stock. A happy thought
for by so doing they'll no doubt wear down the
heels to an attenuation within the law
The rudest jolt to the wearers of the criticised
heels took place right in the state Of Washing
ton. The Washington State Osteopathc Associa
ton condemned high heels as immoral" Pressed
for particulars a representative Of this assOcia-
ton said:
immortality lies in the fact that all women
who wear high-heeled shoes become deformed in
the feet, knees and back, and are predisposed to
tuberculosis. Race suicide is distinctly aided by
high heels"
In Massachusetts the osteopaths succeeded in
introducing a bill aimed against the dizzy heels.
