Policemen in the heart of large city
have to do more walking than one on
patrol in the suburbs. Because of large
office buildings, when on their first
rounds at night, the officers have to
try all doors to see if they are securely
locked. In many cities they are sup
posed to try the outside doors of all
the buildings on their beat which have
been closed for the night, Many police
men in the smaller cities do not cover
Is miles a day on their beats but in
cities like Portland, they walk at least
10 miles a day.
One surprise about these figures is
the number of miles covered by milk
man. His average is so high because
on the numerous trips he has TO make
from the street to the rear and sides of
houses and the flights Of stairs he has
to climb TO deliver his goods
The miles covered by the other people
as set down in the table, are probably
somewhat near the average in any city.
OF course the amount of walking done
by a housewife will vary greatly be.
cause her duties are not as clearly pre-
seribed as in the other walks" OF life.
But IL is safe to assume that most
housewives walk AT least two miles
day in doing their housework.-Port-
land Express. .

FooLPRoOF FEET.
Too Many of Us Have Got Them and
Too Many of Us Walk Wrongly.

The human foot is one of the most
beautiful and useful instruments ever
conceived, but. unfortunately, it is not
what a motorist calls tfoolproof.'
There is a great deal Of misunder-
standing about our feet, We treat them
outrageously, as either custom or fash
ion NAV dictate. As result, about
one third of the population is splay
footed, another third walks like hen
on hot cinders, and the remaining third
may be said to walk fairly naturally.
Phe foot has graceful arch running
fore and aft. We take this longitudinal
arch, turn the toes outward so that the
heels meet at an angle of 40 degrees,
and then put all our pressure in a skew
direction across the arch No railway
engineer would dream of building
straight arch bridge to carry loads mel.
Their across nor along the arch but ir-
regularly askew over 1t.
We ought to walk with out great toe
pointed straight in the direction OF
progress, as Indian runners do, and
Spring from the great toe" In
stead, most of us take off" in lum-
boring sort of way from the ball of
the great toe.
The arch of the foot Is supported
largely BY the tendon which runs un-
der the foot to the great toe itself,
and this neglect of use renders this
tendon weak and lax, and causes de- |
preston OF the arch. The best cure for
weak arch is the practice of raising
ones self upon the great toe, that is,
doing as a penalty exercise what you
should have done all along naturally.
II you will try when walking to keep
straight, and TO end each stride with
little spring off each big toe alter !
nately, you will be rewarded b. finding
that progress seems easier, quicker and
more buoyant.--London Daily News.

A STATESMAN'S VISION.
SHUTS Can See Further and More Clear
ly Than Many British Leaders.

General Jams SHUTS, premier oi
South Africa, easily ranks with the
ablest among the great constructive
minds lsboring to bring about an era
of peace and friendly accord among the
nations.
General SHUTS does not advocate a
formal alliance between Britain and
America, but clearly sees the necessity
for the establishment of friendship
between the two countries that never
could be menaeed by the curse of war
He concluded that a race of armaments
with America would be fatal 10 the EN-
pire, perhaps TO both countries. He rec
ognizes our people as closest TO Eng
land in all human ties. He declares that
the dominions look upon America as
the oldest among them. He urges I'VE
must work together
With the same clear vision General
SHUTS sees that the European stage no
longer is the scene of first Importance
In the far east and the Pacific lie the
complex problems of the next half
century. He is right. The scene has
shifted There England and America
nave Nllht interests. 4 mere hes RHiud, a
nation friendly to America. Japan with
its inscrutable plans and aspirations, is
there; and India is not far away. Eu
rope, Asia. America there are meeting,
the past and the present, in recrudes-
cent exemplifcation Of the hopes, de-
sires, ambitions Of ten thousand years.
we must work together, says the
premier. If We can do that all will be
we'll If we car do that the Vrisly
ghosts of centuries Of greed. wrong and
may be forever laid. If we
can do that the disintegrating spirit of
national and imperial dominion will
become a forgotten thing in human ex
perience. If peaceful cooperation can
be secured among those who have vital
interests in the east, the far shores of
the Pacific. humanity will be advanced
along all lines of progress, civilization
and happiness beyond the dreams of
the most ardent dreamer who has
prayed for the betterment Of mankind

DAY OF GHOSTS HAS PASSED.
No Longer Do They Appear, but Now
They Are Summoned

How long is it since you shivered at a
ghost story? Have you read scores of
them in the last few years, stories of
seances and frances, of cross messages
and spirits trying to break through"
but did single one have that hair
raising. marrow chilling quality we are
justified in demanding from a real ghost
story2 What is the matter with our
modern spirits, anyway In a day when
the world has gone mad on the subject
of efficiency, why do we find our ghosts
so utterly incompetent, SO unequal to
their jobs2
Their great trouble is their lack of
definite purposes. There is mo reason
whatever for their being, and eonse.
quently they are insipid, puerile, unins'
teresting things. They don't even call
themselves ghosts; they are spirits,
much fiabbier term, and the same gen.
eral debility runs through their entire
makeup. They have no wills of their
own. They wait respectfully till they
are summoned by the very mortals they
ought to terrify, They answer. like
bell boys, to the call of such devices as
ouija boards.
Can you imagine Shaksperean ghost
waiting to be summoned Those we're
specters with minds of their own. They
appeared when it pleased them to ap.
pear, unlimited and more often than not
indesired. You might shout "Avaunt
theel" till you were hoarse; you might
all them foul spirits. or any other un-
terms you could think
If, but until their job was done not one
neh would they bulge, The modern
,pirit vanishes if you give him half a |
nance. but then he only came in the
irst place to oblige you, out of polite
less and weakmindedness,- York |
