Georgia Senators Urge
Reappointment Of Mrs.
Clay and Roddenbery
The Atlanta journal News Bureau,

WASHINGTON, d. c., March IL
The two Georgia senators paid their
first call upon Postmaster General
Hays late Friday afternoon and dis
cussed particularly the retention in
office of Mrs. A. S. Clay, widow of
the late Senator Clay, as postmistress
at Marietta, and Mrs. S. A. Rodden-
berry, widow of the late Representa-
tive Roddenbury, as postmistress at
Thomasville. 1t is believed here that
sentiment. and the records these dis
tinguished Georgia women have made
in their offices will result in their re-
tention under the Republican adj
ministration.
Senator Harris and Senator Wat
son could not reveal the details of
their conference with Mr.. Hays re-
garding various post office matters,
but the impression is that for a good
while at least, Mrs. Clay and Mrs.
Roddenbery will be allowed to re-
main in office.

The long narrow shoe was not
suited to her foot at all; hence she
had to get it. out of all proportion

There are all sorts OF misfittings
Of shoes nowadays, but in the ma
jority Of cases these are due to the
people who buy the shoes who have
certain prejudices and preconceived
notions of what size shoes they
should wear. If they feel convinced
their foot is narrow then the sales
man simply has to give them a shoe
long enough in that width to accom-

most women do buy shoes that are

Now, it Heally is a very good plan
to let the shoe dealer measure your
foot carefully before fitting your
shoe. In shoe shops where spe-
cialty is made of fitting unusual

measure the feet, but feel OF the
bony structure of the foot and make
careful observation, SO as to know

But women have not had such ex-

Slipping Down in Bed.

he was spending the summer vacation
in bed, looked up rather wearily from

But Bill was disturbed, though it
wasn't his way to show 1t.

Excessive Perspiration.

The hot summer days are an annoy
ance to many women because the heat
makes them perspire SO freely. 1t is
physically healthy to perspire. but it
is also physically uncomfortable, and
no one can be blamed for trying to
stop a certain amount of the moisture:
Personally, 1 never advise any of
the preparations which actually stop
perspiration. The pores Of the skin
must act freely, for there is guam
tity of Waste matter which is poison

throwing off. The pores under the
arms are particularly active. To stop
this action absolutely, even over a

For a considerable period the market
