CrolU Young in
CdntiIeUer Shoes

What man or woman, reaching
the age of wisdom, would not dis
card a dozen years OF physical
progress-and lose none OF the
mental richness gathered i'm years
of struggling existence? For a
woman, it takes more than paint
box and lip stick to do it.
Foot troubles. and the physical
impairment that often proceeds
from wearing harmful shoes, make
their mark-not altogether where
none but doctor can see it, but
on the face where every one can
see it,
We believe women will be in
terested in this letter from lady
in Canada: IL feel fully ten years
younger today than | did Satur-
day. DO you know why? I've had
on my new Cantilever Sohes all
day long and feel so comfortable.
|. even feel like singing"
They Bring Happiness
They do bring JOY, Cantilever
Shoes. They seem so perfectly
suited to ones foot. Flexible. light.
well made, good looking, they help
you. comfort ybu, tighten your step.
The Cantilever shank contains no
hidden metal. 1t Gexes when you
walk, harmonizes with the arch of
your foot, which Nature designed
to flex with every step. The Can't
lever flexible arch supports restfully
and healthfully; instead of re-
straining and weakening the foot
1T permits muscular exercise and
circulation, which strengthens. So
you avoid, or correct, weak arches.
DR.. Douglas Stewart, of New York,
says, "The foot is cantileycr
spring" Surely that needs flex-
ible shoo--not a rigid one.
Keep your feet in trim. The
spring of eternal youth which
Ponce dc Leon sought may have
been the spring of Cantilever
Shoes!

prices. We are the sole agents for

SENATE REVOLTS
ON TARIFF BILL
THE REPUBLICANS ARE DAZEn
BY THE SUDDEN TURN
AGAINST THEM.
WILL PREVENT INCREASES
Hardings Refusal to Shoulder Respon
sbiIity For Unpopular Legislative
Programme Causes Consterna-
ton Among Leaders.

Washington.-"The protective tariff
bill is crumbling away said Senator
Underwood democrat, Alabama, in
commenting on the rejection of the
cotton yarn rates presented by the fl.
nance committee. Il expect to see
many other reductions made in the
measure before it is passed. The low
ering of excessive duties has been
chiefly caused by the denunciatory
speeches made by the minority and
the educational matter scattered
broadcast by the press, which has
caused public sentiment to turn
against the bill
"Undoubtedly," said Senator Sim
mons democrat, North Carolina), the
action of the senate in rejecting the
new yarn rates will have the effect
of preventing increases in the duties
on cotton cloths. Even the house rates
are too high. The cloths are made
from the yarns and the rates on them
must be lowered to be consistent;
heavy cuts in the various schedules
cannot be made until the period of in
dividual amendment is reached"
The opinion was expressed on all
sides that the revolt initiated against
the finance committees amendments
to the cotton schedule will continue
and be extended to woolen goods, silks
and all textiles. 1t is prophesied that
when the proper stage arrives there
will be heavy slashing of rates all
along the line.
Republican leaders appeared dazed
from the disaster and merely insisted
they would proceed with the tariff bill
regardless of the cotton schedule blow
up. Those in charge of the minority
forces said they would experience no
surprise if the tariff revision was not
concluded at this session of congress
In fact they halfway believe the re-
publicans may shunt the measure
aside at any time, and they are only
looking for a soft spot on which to
alight when doing this thing.
All prominent democrats are ex
tremely skeptical about the tariff re
vision becoming completed Legislation
before the November elections.
There we're rumors that the bill
would be withdrawn for the purpose o
rewriting it, but this was denied al
around. 1t was said the rewriting
would be done piecemeal, as alread,
in progress.

But Harding Has Taken No Action for
Ending the Strike, Which Now
Threatens to Spread to other
UnIons-shops to Reopen.

Chicago o-The third week of the

peace negotiations at a standstill fol-
lowing separate conferences between
rail executives, union heads and rail.

ences were described as "funda-
mental"
Western carriers have issued a Writ.
ual ultimatum to the strikers, assert
ing that they will not agree to any
plan inconsistent with decisions Of the
labor board and will not confer with
the strikers while the walkout con-
tinues.
B. NJ. Jewell head Of the shopmen,
indicated that working rules and
wages, both based on the boards de-
cisions, must be settled satisfactorily
before he will consent to call off the
strike and take the matter before the
labor board.
Virtually abandoning hope OF an
early settlement, many roads, accord
ing to a labor board official, are pre-
pared to make a determined effort 10
reopen their shops with non-union
employees.
After a conference with President
Harding, E. F. Cradle, head of the
maintenance Of way organization,
said there was no prospect of an inn
mediate authorization Of strike OF
his 100000 men, but added that AZ
hours might change the situation. A
white house statement said Mr.. Cradle
brought to the president the first Off
cial protest that railroads are ignoring
decisions of the labor board and ex-
pressed the opinion that proper con-
ference would end in settlement.
Senator Cummins, chairman Of the
interstate commerce committee, said
that hearings will be held soon look
ing toward a revision of the transpor-
tation act and to deal with the prob
lens developed by the strike, one OF
the matters to be taken up, he said,
being penalties for violation Of the
labor boar decisions.
Chicago, the hub Of the strike, was
quiet. Mr.. Jewell and members OF the
labor board declined to comment fur
ther.
In Washington, official circles were
said to be hopeful Of settlement,
but the administration was prepared
for emergency action should the occa'
sion arise. Motor transports to carry
mail were inaugurated between In
diana towns where trains were an
nulled.

The only question now in the way OF
immediate work on this road is the 10.
cation of the route. The federal engi'

pointed to confer with the authorities

HENRY FORD'S
OFFER SPURNED
BITTER BATTLE WILL BE FOUGHT
OUT ON SENATE FLOOR IN
FIGHT TO FINISH.
MAY CHANGE COMMITTEES
"Fertiizer Trusts Victory" May Be
Short-LiVed, Say Democrats
Minority Reports Will Be
Sent to the Senate.

Washington-The fight for final dis,
position of the Muscle Shoals power
and nitrate plant will be carried to the
senate floor, following rejection by the
agricultural committee of both the
Norris plan for governmental opera
tion and the Ford OFFER.
Fords offer was defeated by a to
Z vote, while Norris bill was lost, 8
to 5, two senator's, Page, Vermont,
and Harreld, Oklahoma, not voting on
the ballot.
All other proposals for the projects
were discarded by the committee with
out record vote. These included the
offer by the Alabama Power company,
Frederick Engstrum, Charles L. Par.
sons and the quasi-governmental plan.
The voting for rejection Of the Ford
offer was: Senator's Norris, Page (by
proxy, McNary, Keyes, Gooding, Nor
beck, Harreld, Mckinley, all republi-
cans; and Senator Kendrick, demo-
crat, Wyoming.
Those voting for a favorable report
were Senators Capper and Ladd, re-
publicans, and Smith, Ransdell, Har-
rison, HELM and Caraway, democrats.
Definite action by the senate on
Muscle Shoals at this session of con-
gress may not be taken With the
tariff soldier bonus, the ship subsidy
and several other important measures
crOwding the legislative calendar a
vote on disposition Of the project may
be sidetracked until next session
Fords supporters, however, signlfi9d
an intention to demand action before
the scnete adiourns. Proponents Of
the federal operation plan are believed
to favor postponement.
Although the committee failed to
agree on a majority report to the sen
ate, two recommendations the Norris
plan and the Ford offer, will be sub
mitted as minority reports. Work on
drafting the recommendation started
Immediately after the meeting, and II
is expected this will be completed by
the middle of this week, Senator
Ladd, North Dakota, is in charge Of
the Ford draft, which Chairman Norris
will handle with the report on his Owl
bill.
A radical change in the lineup o
the committee may be effected whel
the reports are offered in the senate
leaders indicated.
Harreld, while voting against Ford
does not favor government operation
Of the plant, In an interview he sug
gested that the government complete
all construction work on dams a
Muscle Shoals, which it is estimatat
will take at least three years, ant
then again open the project to privat
bidders. In this he is believed to hay
considerable support in the senate
especially among those who oppos
the Ford offer in its present form, bu
would accept it If the lease were re
duced to 50 instead OF 100 years.

ASKS
FULL ASSESSMENTS
Mississippi Tax Body Appeals TO
Supervisors.

Jackson.-The state tax commission
has just issued strong appeal to the
board of supervisors of the state for
cooperation in the matter of tax as
sessments for the current year. The
commission makes it plain that reduc-
ing assessments does not reduce the
taxes, but makes the tax burden un-
equal, and calls upon the supervisors
to show more backbone,
The statement in part sent out by
the commission is as follows:
There are near the state tax COM
mission, in Jackson, the fossils Of
Zeuglodon. These were pieces Of his
backbons. Each piece is about a foot
long and seven inches in diameter.
It is thought that this fish had about
seventy feet of backbone.
"There are some exceptions, but, in
the main the tax-dodgers are those
who come before you with complaints
as to their assessments. They even
appear with their attorneys. The av'
erage citizen is willing to leave the
equalization of lis assessments to the
officers of the law. Can you then i'm
pose a heavier burden on them by let
ting the tax-dodger escape taxation?
Take a lesson from this old fish He
swan the waters Of the seas before
Adam was made from the dust; yet,
he had backbone enough to remain as
memorial thousands Of years after
Adam was driven from The garden OF
Eden.
There are hundreds Of thousands Of
children to be educated in Mississippi;
there are many afflicted to be treated
and cared for; there is the greatest
need for the protection of our citizens
from the ravages Of tuberculosis ant
other malignant diseases; there is
great demand for better roads. How
can the money be had for these thing
without taxation? How can taxation
be Just without a fair equalization o
assessment? How can there be fai
equalization unless you do your duty
: Then take a lesson from this old fisl
: have backbone enough to be no
j. moved by the walls or the tax-dodgel
: "Please do not increase any assess
ment which is rendered for the valu
: Of the property; justice, no doub
would demand a reduction of such a
o assessment This commission urge
Q you to increase the assessments by il
$ creasing only the differentiation an
/. by adding to the rolls the propert
l. which has been omitted therefrom. b
e all means make the assessments
