"Great things may be expected of genera
tion Of sandal-wearing mothers and the sandal
wearing fapper will be the mother Of tomorrow.
The sensible young men of this age want healthy
wives"
Among the high prestesses Of beauty there
are squads, companies and battaons who will
support DR.. Levi in his fight for the restoration
Of the beautiful foot. But they will hardly fol-
low him to the extent Of wearing nothing but
sandals.
Miss Violet Macmillan Of New York City,
who recently won gold slipper for having the
smallest and shapeliest foot among whole horde
of contestants, is habtualy shown with her tiny
feet mounted on high French heels. Mrs Carl w.
Kinker Of Washington, d. c., who recently chal-
enged Miss Macmillan to a foot contest, also
wears high heels. Likewise, Miss Caryel Coerr
of New York, another young woman with Gin
derella foot. And the professional foot models
who exhibit all the latest twists Of bootery fash
ions for the wholesale trade fight shy Of the
sensible shoe.
On the other hand, Miss Margie Wilmington,
who is said to have the most beautiful feet and
legs in New York City, wears high heels only
under compusion
Recently Miss Wilmington was insured by
Floren2 Zegfcld, producer Of the Follies, for
Sl,000,000, According 10 Miss Wilmington, her
face would never be her fortune, all of her value
lying south Of the knee caps. NShe is proud Of her
beautiful feet and she attained them, she said
by going barefooted all through her girlhood,
Even now she goes barefoot about her house as
much as possible
"The healthiest thing for the feet is going
barefoot as much and as often as you can" is the
advice Of June Castleton who recently won first
prize for dainty feet at the National Style Show
in Boston. "If this is impossible obtain low
heeed shoes that are pliabe and have a straight
line from the heel to the great toe. But whether
you go barefoot or not select this kind of shoe

Recently test Of the boys and girls in one
Of New Yorks public schools was made. II was
discovered that go per cent Of the boys and 10
per cont OF the girls were suffering from some
sort Of foot trouble.
Some day, Dr. Levi believes that the women
will wake up completely, If they will ever learn,
he says, that a woman cannot be beautiful or
amiable when her feet are out of shape and in
pain, that will be all that's necessary. The rest
will follow
Barbarc artifces in the shape Of shoes will be
abolished. The foot beautiful will take its proper

Cinderella's Married Life

The popular supposition has always been that
Cinderella and the Prince lived happily ever
afterward.
But how could woman be happy who wore
shoes too tight for herr" queries DR.. Levi. She
had won her husband through her ability to jam
her foot into sma-sizeG slipper. Having
established that precedent she could do nothing
but continue to shoes of that size.
Pity poor Cinderella then!-with corns and
bunions, and pains shooting the length of her
legs. And pity the poor Prince who had to stand
her inevitable bad temper. In the course of time
they must have got divorce.
No. Cinderella didn't live happily ever after
ward. Not if DR.. Levi knows anything about 1t.
And the moral which he passes out to all incpi-
ent Cinderellas is, by now, fairly obvious;
"Wear shoes that fit YOU
"If the Prince were choosing a bride today"
said Dr. Levi, che would know that woman who
insisted upon wearing No. "a might easily be
both temperamenta apd temperish and when 1t
came to selecting a wife for keeps he would look
for somebody with shoes that were designed for
comfort--not beauty"
Dr. Levi, as founder Of New York City's foot
clinics, has by dgent propaganda made the
foot a major member Of the anatomy. He has
directed attention to it's possible beauties and to
the ills that may result from neglect and mis-
treatment of the feet. And the foot clinics, which
have been chartered through his efforts and those
Of his co-workers, are the first OF their KIND
in the world
Not satisfied with treating those VINO came 10
the clinics the clinics have gone out in search Of
neonle with distressed feet. One day recently

haitian Island Stops were made at number OF
points and treatment given to many VINO were
victims Of foot distress.
The New York pediatrists responsible for the
propaganda in favor of the sensible and beaut-
full foot hope that countrywide movement VIII
be organized for the purpose of establishing foot
examinations in schools and TO work up sentiment
in favor of the sensible shoe
Half the civilized world, according TO DR..
Levi, is "foot defective" He emphasizes the
word "cvzed" Savages, he says, have no foot
ailments suehias civilization knows.
However, there's some faint light on the
horizon" he continued, "The happer, criticised
by some has my profound respect for she shows
sense when it COMES to shoes. Look at her san
dals. A few years ago she would have been con-
sidered freakish and sloppy with them on, Now
she isn't fashionable without them.

CHARACTERISTIC Of skeptical age are
newest revelations about Cinderella. Ac-
- cording to DR.. Maurice J. Levi, dean of
the First Institute of Pediatry of New York
City, the lady not only had big feet but frequently
descended TO sharp practices in order to make
point and take trick.
What happened between her and the Prince
is cited as a case in point. The story as pub
lished declared that the Prince, after finding the
slipper Cinderella had dropped at the ball, im-
mediately set about looking for the girl who
it. DR.. Levi, who has evidently been prying into
the history of the Cinderella family, hoots at
this He implies rather strongly that somebody,
interested in suppressng the facts, must have
tampered with the galley proofs
In the first place, he doubts that Cinderella
attended the Princes blowout at ALL But, being
a shrewd young mink with eye to the main
chance. she Immediately laid her plans TO dupe
the Prince. So when the Prince showed np at
her cottage and laid the slipper on her floor she
iammed her foot into it by main strength and
awkwardness. And the Prince, being rather an
artless fellow, Immediately fell at her feet,
The family life Of Cinderella, however, forms
the most important part Of the story, in Dr.
Lewis belief And that part has been mysteri-
ously deleted, again, it is supposed, by someone
interested in suppressing the facts.

imagine this is what gives so many girls ~

or course, have to wear high heels for y.

Another professional beauty who contended
that a beautiful foot could redeem an otherwise
unntcresting body was Fern Andra, the German
screen star. Fraulen Andra declared that as a
very young girl her feet constituted her sole
claim 10 beauty. SO she worked to bring the re-
mainder Of her body up to their standard
Fraulein Andra recently came to "A very tragic
end. An arplanc in which she was riding crashed

cure, have been unable to complete q
report within brief period Of time as
was expected, due to the constituting OF
the order Of the court to mean that ais
the pass.books must be turned in 10
the receivers at the bank and O report
made thereon to the court, and that
there arc hundreds OF depositors un'
willing to part with tho pass book,
which is the evidence of the liability
of tho bank to them. and that this
would mean months Of delay.
We are OF The opinion that the bank
should be opened and the president
of tie Mechanics Savings Bank be peg
mittcd to comply with the require
ment Of the Banking Division of the
Corporation Commission in the deliV>
cry Of the required securities Of ($S3,

could be turned in from time to time

able liability on any pass-book can bo
secured by bond to be given in such
an amount as the honorable court may
see fit to require.
AS many Of us are in need Of money
