The Ladies' Auxiliary branch No 1G.
,ational Association of Letter Car
.ters, entertained at the annual dinner
Community house. The affair is an
annual event, held on Washington
birthday anniversary. The guests were
the city letter carriers and their fami-
lies
A delicious chicken dinner was
served, followed by a short pr gram.
Unlike most banquets, the assessment
was not made by the plate, but eacl
f. miIy was assessed rs cents, regard
less of the number of members.
This is the first affair of this nature
to be sgiven in North Topeka and il
met with merited success.
The ladies of Rochester gave a sur
prise Tuesday afternoon at the home
of Mrs. c.. w. LukeRS, in honor OF
Mrs. Walter A. Yount, who will move
from the neighborhood in the near
future. The affair was complete
surprise to Mrs. Yount as it had been
planned for her and Mrs. Daniel Logan
to visit Mrs. Lukens that afternoon.
When Mrs. Yount arrived the house
was filled with women and still more
were coming. A round of games and
other ADJUSTMENTS filled the afternoon,
after which refreshments were served.
Persons who have listened to
crowd of women talking, perhaps
would believe it impossible to increase
the babble. but that this can be done
was proven when each woman was re-
quired to hold four different converse
tons with four different women all at
the same time. Another feat was the
attempt by the women TO whistle after
eating a cracker. A man who listened
in" on both these attempts attic
wholly lacking in curiosity, is yet in i
a dazed condition.
The guests were: Mrs Yount Mrs.
Logan, Mrs. Albert Crooks. Mrs. Fred

SHOE POINTERS.
Foot Troubles Are Caused Principally
by H. Fitting Shoes.
CT&be Continued.)

by llIFitting Shoes.
Few people know how to select shoes
these days so that they will not have
any trouble with their feet. Foot trou-
bles are mostly traceable to ill-fitting
shoes.
recent investigation into the mat
ter by the National Y. w. C. A. elected
these rules for the selection of shoes:
l. Straight inner border to follow
line of normal foot.
.. Room for toes without crowding.
3. Broad low heels.
4. Flexible shank, allowing action of
arch muscles.
5. Low cut, permitting free use Of
ankles.
question was recently made by the
board Of police surgeons of New York
for the benefit of ten thousand police
men in that city.
They found among other things that
use of shoes for many generations has
gradually limited the motion of the
feet, and the constant wearing of badly
fitting shoes, and the improper position
in standing ard walking, has deformed
our feet until a perfectly normal foot
is seldom found in adults.
The foot, they say, is made up oS a
number of small bones bound together
by ligamcnts 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 in front. This resembles
a three-legged stool.
If one sits squarely on such stool 1t
is firm but sit on the edge and 1t will
upset. So if the foot is turned out
ward, the weight of the body falls on
the inside of the foot, and the foot rolls
inward and tends TO become fiat. But
if the toes are turned in little the
weight Of the body is borne equally by
all parts OF the loot.
If the supports OF the foot, the mus
cles and ligaments, waste away or
stretch, the ends of the arch spread, the
instep flattens, the bones press upon
the sensitive nerves and cause pain,
while the natural springiness Of the
foot is impaired and walking becomes
difficult.
Prevention of fiat foot is most i'm
portant. 1t consists III 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 a ruler laid along its in
ncr side. Pointed shoes or any shoes
which crowd the big ftoe outwards,
against the other toes, will cause trou-
BILE and are likely to produce fiat feet.
1t is we'll to wear a shoe with feX-
ible arch, especially if there is any de-
gree of weakness in the arch of the
foot, as such a shoe permits the foot TO
be exercised and allows constant
changes of position in walking ana
standing. 1t is better to wear laced
rather than button shoe, so that the
pressure over the inStcp may be chang
ed for the sake of comfort.-D. K. H.

STRANGE ELEPHANT STORY
How Lucky Hunter Fooled Furious
Beast.

A good elephant yarn is told by j,
Morewood Dowsett, we'll known big
game hunter who has just returned
to London from hunting trip in
South Africa.
He was hunting elephants in Ugar-
da when information was .Ought him
of the whereabouts of q large herd.
With native chief and house boyi
he started to find them.
The party came upon the herd in
the forest Mr.. Dowsett got several
photographs within 20 yards of the
beasts wher the chief warned him
that they had been scented" and that
the animals were coming for them.
Snatching up his rifle Mr.. DOwsett
shot and killed the leader, a big bull.
While some surrounded their dead
leader many of the beasts stampeded
and, running the wrong way, Mr.
Dowsctt was cut off from the party.
Reloading his gun. the hunter dashed
off for safety and run into big bull
elephant which crashed through the
bush sixty yards in front of him.
Trunk aloft. ears extended and
trumpeting wildly, the beast rushed at
Mr.. Dowsett and swept him to the
ground with his trunk and turned
rapidly in it's own length ready to
trGmple him.
The hunter took 4 flying dive un-
der the monsters belly, realizing he
would then be on the right side of
the wind, but the beast turned rapidly
round and again tried to trample him.
Instead the animal rolled him over and
over with it's legs and the hunter saw
above him the two great tusks <as the
beast tried to maneuver his body into
position and pick him up. Mr.. Dow
sctt managed to roll behind the ami
NAL and get to his feet and make a
rush for cover.
To the hunters relief and surprise
the, furious beast set off in the op-
posite direction ard disappeared.

BILE night firing without illumination,
recent development Of the army ord
nance corps, will be demonstrated Fri
day at the army ordnance association
at the Aberdeen proving ground.
Since the invention of smokeless
powder, which eliminated the loca-
ting of guns in daylight, experts have
been working to prevent similar spot
ting" ut night This has now been
accomplished. Night firing with guns
as large as five inches have been con-
Quoted with no more than Il momen-
tary dull red glow and no illumina-
ton whatever.
This has been accomplished by in
Producing substances into the pow
der which when the gun is fired are
volatilizcd diluting and cooling the in
hammahle gaSscs Ordinarily these
gases burst into brilliant flames. Salt
and chloride Of potash, 1t is said, are
two substances used TO eliminate the
flash.
Other features Of the programme
including the firing Of the heaviest
single unit of ordnance in the world"
the recently perfected lGnch, 80 cali
brc gun, mounted on Il disappearing

weighs 10000 pounds and requires
