THE PEOPLES WILL

The whole nation is crying for disarmament. Not only
is this nation crying for disarmament, but all the civilized
nations of the world are crying for disarmament.
The great masses of people everywhere are staggering
under an awful burden of taxation. They realize that most
Npf this burden caused by the competition of the different
nations in building up great armies and navies. To stop this
competition and limit the amount of money to be spent on
armament is the one essential thing to relieve the people.
A conference of the nations, called by President Har-
ding, is to be held in Washington beginning November II to
see if some agreement cannot be reached whereby the dif-
ferent nations will agree to limit armament.
These men who will meet to discuss this momentous
question are representatives of the people. If the people,
therefore, want disarmament why should these representa-
lives fail in their efforts? The government these men
will represent at the conference are not their own particular
governments for them, as individuals, to say yes and 'no"
as they please. The day when any one man or set of men
can do that has passed. Louis XIV. said, II am the state"
but a great deal has happened since Louis XIV. sat on the
throne of France.
There may be different ways of bringing about disarm-
ament and it is for the conference to decide which is the
best method to pursue, but as for the general principal of
disarmament, it is the will of the people all over the world
and they look to their representatives at the Washington
conference to bring it about

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 Hitting shoes.
A recent investigation into the
matter by the National Y. w. G. A.
ELECTED these rules for selection of
shoes.
1.straight inner border to follow
line of normal foot.
2. Room for toes without crowd
ing.
8. Broad low heel.
A., Flexible shank, allowing action
of arch muscles.
5. Low cut permitting free use
of ankle.
An exhaustive study of the shoe
question was recently made by the
board of police surgeons of New
York for the benefit of ten thous-
and policemen in hat city.
They found among other things
that use of shoes for many genera
tions has gradually limited the mo-
ton of the feet, and the constant
wearing of badly fitting shoes and
the improper position in standing
and walking has deformed u feet
until a perfect normal foot is sell
dom found in adults.
The foot, they say. is made up of
a number of small bones bound to-
gether by ligaments and muscles
that help to hold them in an arch,
from toe to heel. The weight of the
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

After this great disappointment,
Secret Service officials were compeli-
ed to start searching for a new criml-
nal. In this search police in all parts
of the country Joined. inspired by
the fact that the City of New York
alone offered a reward of $10,50O for
the capture of the guilty party or
parties, while an additional reward
of $4,000 was offered by Wall
Street business interests.
The Cleveland police were the first
to contribute interesting suspects
when they arrested a radical trio,
two men and a woman, who had
protested to know more than they
should about the explosion, but these
three were able to establish perfect
alibis. Later came the arrest of Tito
Ligi, a Pittsburgh Italian. known to
be a draft deserter and radical boast
full of his familiarity with bombs.
The chief evidence against Ligi was
the fact that pieces of sash weights
similar to those found in Wall Street
were discovered in his home-that,
and the fact thai a New York wit
ness positively Identified him as one
of the three Italians seen near the
bomb CAR just before the explosion.

Following this failure. an Italian
of Bayonne. N. j., vas arrested and
formally charged with the crime,
after Several witnesses had likewise
identified him as one of the guilty
three seen in the vicinity of the T. N.
7. Wagon. But later when arraign-
ed by the government on the speci-
fic charge, the number of witnesses
had somehow dwindled to one, whose
story was obviously patched and finn
sy. De Filipis vas quietly released
Since then, no new arrests have
been made and nj new evidence has
been uncovered. The Wall Street
explosion remains a mystery, but is
by no means a forgotten one. The
search for the master criminal who
caused it still goes on.

Baker. Oregon, with a popula-
ton of 10000, has solved the prob
EN- OF cleaning its streets in a
unique manner.
The source of the city's water
supply is a reservoir fed by noun
tain streams, located on top of a
mountain about a thousand feet
above the street level. Coming from
this height the pressure of the wa
ter under gravity is sufficient to
ehrow a stream from an ordinary
lire hose a distance of a hundred
feet or more. thus making the use
of fire engines for pumping water
unnecessary.
All that is required is to attach
a hose to m of the numerous
water plugs and turn on the water.
This arrangement suggested to
one of the city officials a scheme for
flushing the streets. Water plugs
were TOO Tar apart to permit OF
more than half a block being flush
ed at a time, so he rugged up a
portable hose made from sections
Of iron pipes. ten feet long and
two inches in diameter coupled to-
gether with short pieces of hose.
The whole affair is mounted on lit
tie iron wheels placed at each Sec
ton of pipe,
In this way a hose of sufficient
length to cover an entire block is
easily drawn about by a horse, the
nozzle of the hose being attached to
one end at which the horse is har.
messed.
The pieces of hose connecting
the sections OF iron pipe render the
whole affair more or less flexible,
so that II can beturned in any A.
rection or even doubled on tSsh.

COMMON SENSE WAYS TO KEE WE'LL

in front. This resembles a three
legged stool.
If one sits squarely or such a
stool it is firm, but sit on the edge
and it will upset. So IL 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 become fat. But If the toes are
turned in a little the weight of the
body Is borne equally by all parts
of the foot.
If the supports of the foot, the
muscles and ligaments. waste away
or stretch, the ends of the arch
spread, the instep flattens, the
bones press upon sensitive nerves
and cause pain, while the natural
springiness of the foot is impaired
and walking becomes difficult.
Prevention of fiat foot is most In
portant. 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 it's entire length a ruler laid
along it's inner side. Pointed shoes
or any shoes which crowd the big
toe outwards, against the other
toes, will cause trouble and are
likely to produce fiat feet.
1t is we'll to wear a shoe with a
flexible arch. especially If there Is
any degree of weakness in the arch
of the foot, as such a shoe permits
the foot to be exercised and allows
constant change of position In walk
ing and standing. 1t Is better to
wear a laced rather than a button
shoe so that the pressure over the
instep may be changed for the sake
of comfort.

That incident did me a lot of good.
1t set me to thinking that very
much of my forgetting had been
sheer carelessness. l knew as soon

NEW YORK. Oct. 16.-Al-
though persistently baffled in their
efforts to solve the mystery of the
Wall Street explosion, which last
year killed thirty-nine persons, in
| iured 200 and caused nearly $1,000
600 property damage, the New York
notice and detectives of the United
States Department of Justice have
never for a moment abandoned IL.
investigation of this so-called master
crime is still proceeding quietly u
determinedly, every detective cher
ishing the dream that some day he
will triumphantly march the guilty
criminal into an amazed and envlous
headquarters.
Upon the anniversary of the dis
aster, a couple of weeks ago. the
financial district of the city was plac-
ed under heavy guard. Upper fltth
Avenue shone brilliantly with brass
buttons, while downtown, detectives
from the bomb ant homicide squads
of the Police Department covered
the Sub-Treasury and the Assay Of
flee and the large banking houses
of the neighborhood, eagerly waiting
for some indication of proposed vlo-
lence.
In these propitious circumstances,
of course, nothing happened. After
a long day of hopeful suspense. the
| guards went safely home to bed.
and the mystery of the bomb out
rage-certainly one of the most cur
ious that has ever puzzled h police
was admitted to be no nearer a
solution. A few officials went even
further and admitted that it had
been impossible even to establish
the fact that a bomb was planted by
any one.
That the crime was planned and
perpetrated by an anarchist or a
group of anarchists is the theory
which the police have been work
ing on all along-a theory presum-
ably well founded upon clues dis
covered on the scene of the crime.
Accordingly, the search for criminals
has been confined chiefly TO radical
groups throughout the country. In
the past year several suspects were
arrested by the agents of the De-
partment of Justice, but all were
later released for lack of sufficient
evidence. Occasionally, n hears
the theory advanced that the whole
catastrophe was an accident. but
you cannot make the police believe
that. Where" they ask you quick
ly, 'do the sash weights At into the
accident theory? Why would an in
nocent wagon of T. N. 7. be laden
with sash weights. which. in the ex-
plosion, scattered like pieces of
shrapnel among the crowd, caus-
ing much injury?"
And the terrible sash weights are
only one item in the list of strange
evidence which seems to sustain the
theory that the explosion was plan
ned.
