DIRECTIONS FOR CROCHETING A
 MANS NECKTIE

In grandmother's day. crocheted | neckties were in style, and prim sweet little ladies with quaint side curls would sit and work beside the hearth fire on a necktie for their '-suitor," brother or father. Today handmade neckties have come back into fashion-and I should think everybody who crocheted one would see the ghost of their own de- mure girl-ancestors as they worked There is a good deal of sentiment about doing something that a past generation enjoyed doing. It makes one want to open the old family al- bum and recall the stories that were told us about the sweet characters of the long-ago people whose photo graphs we find there-

Beauty Chats
ROOT EXERISES
Ry EDNA KENT FORBES


 A chiropodist once told me that the feet are the most neglected and least understood part of ones person. Wo- men buy any shoes that are fashion able at the moment and never con- 6ider the health or the comfort of the feet. Nor while they are wearing un- hygienic shoes do they ever bother to give the feet the extra care needed 70 overcome .he constant harm they are doing.
 Short-vamp shoes crowd the toes and make them curl under. If the shoes have high heels the weight of the body is thrown almost directly upon the toes while they are in this helpless position Pointed toe shoes usually have long vamp. crowd the toes together toward the tip of the shoe, so they are less able to take the weight of the foot. They also throw out the joint of the big toe, making a bunion inevitable later in life.
 For many years we have been wearing pointed toe shoes and for many years before that shoes with people have designed 6 shoe that combined common-sense and good looks. As a result we have all been wearing harmful shoes and few of us have been exercising our feet to keep them in good health.
 Every day when you are in your bare feet, you should take the big toe of each foot and move 1t up and down. as we'll as side ways, so that the big joint does not stiffen or grow large. Then all the toes should be strengthen them. Then the whole foot should be stretched out and re- faxed and stretched out again and again, to exercise the ankle, the Ach- files tendon of the heel, and the bones of the arch.

TAX REPEAL TO
WIN In HOUSE
KesuIt Of First SkIrnish There
Indicates Outcome Of Final
Showdown

ATLANTA, July 20.-As the re-
suit of the opening skirmish of tax
equauzatIon repeal fought in the
house of representatives results m
dicated that leaders in the fight to
repeal the law will have enough
votes to pass the bill when it comes
to its final showdown. An order of
business was submitted by the rules
committee providing for a vote on
the adverse report Of the committee
on appropriations and ways and
means. The presentation of the or
der of business precipitated a sharp
skirmish, and Representative Arnold
of Clay, declared that it was ridicul-
Gus to take bill which had been
adversely reported and put it ahead
of bills which had been favorably re-
ported. Representative Beckham
Of Dougherty, vigorously opposed the
adoption of the order OF business,
while Representative Carswell and
Culpepper were as active in support
ing it. BY a vote of 1875 to Ia the
rules committee was sustained and
the tax equalization bill will come
before the house Thursday morning
in the manner stated. If the house
dlsagrees with the committees ad-
verse report the effect of such ac-
ton will be to restore the bill to its
place on the calendar, but the final
vote will not be had until it is reach
ed in it's regular order, or until the
rules committee brings it up ahead
Of its order.
