The Woman Who
 Works

Shoes are responsible for many cases of physical depression, in the opinion of Dr. Winner Krusen, head of the Department of Public Health of Philadelphia. Dr. Krusen made the following official statement:
 "The subject of sensible shoes is now attracting the attention of the women's clubs. The Health Depart ment sees in this move still greater object, that of reducing one of the most troublesome complaints, sore feet. The popular demand for shoes of style, regardless of their comfort and adaptability to the in dividual foot, is in large measure responsible for many cases of physi- cal depression arising from tired, aching, burning and painful feet Persons who are required to stand a greater part of the day should give due consideration to the type of shoes used. I
 "The subject is of great import ance to the business woman who is required to stand during the greater part of the working period. The tired feeling often complained of at the end of the days work may be attributed to ill-fitting shoes.
 1 "When the heel reaches such a height that the weight of the body is supported by other than the nor nal parts of the foot then we are confronted by complaints of sore feet. Proper shoes are essential for the proper function of the foot. The designation of any particular shape, quality or make of shoe would be folly, as every foot re- quires it's individual shoe. All that can be recommended is that such shoes should be selected which give the greater amount of comfort and

The Coming Conference.

Those insisting that the disarma-
ment conference should be limited as
to subjects and lines of discussion
seem not to be appraising the meeting
and its possibilities properly.
In the first place, the conference,
whatever 1t does. will not provide for
disarmament. That will not be in the
attend. The limitation of future
buildings is the proposition that ex-
plains the calling Of the conference.
II disarmament follows in time-a
long time-that will be another mat
ter, and probably preceded by another
conference.
In the second place, the subject of
the Pacific and the far east is practi-
cally limitless. In the opinion Of
many statesmen. the Pacific is 1.-The
coming ocean, The greatest things
in the future will take place on and
near its waters. AS a result of the
world war, arrangements in the far
east are necessary. and, in the inter-
ests Of all. may have to take wide
range.
In the very nature Of things, there
fore, it seems neither wise nor safe
If indeed possible-to figure on put
ting the conference in leading strings.
Let it decide for itself what direction
to take and how far to go. Its men,
bers will be men of large experience,
who for years have been participating
in when not conducting large affairs
on practical lines.
It will serve good purposes-the
best purposes-if we recognize at the
start that the conference is not mil
lencioI;stic in nature or plan, but a
roher. worldly attempt to improve
worldly conditions and make the
future as good and safe as possible.
