A MATTER OF SHOES
tBy United Press.)


Boston, March 14-If the wo-
men of the both century would
have beauty and good health they
must 90 back to the days of King
Tut-Ankh-Amen, when the ladies
of ancient Egypt wore comtorta-
bile sandals.
Thus did Dr.. Reuben Gross OF
New York, addressing a chropo-
dists' convention here, deplore the
use of high hecled shoes, intro
duced, he said, in the 10th CEN
turv by Catherine de Medici, and
which he claims have done much
to irjrce womans beauty and
health.
Men, the sneaker said, seldom
complain about their feet. This,
he explained, was not because men
took any better care of their feet
than women, but because men
usually wear sensible and COM
Portable shoes-with low heels.
In addition to roboing a woman
of her beauty and health, de-
cleared Dr.. Gross, high heels are
to blame for a large percentage
of corns, fallen arches and other
foot diseases. Treatment for these
ailments, it was pointed out, vii!
not be wholly successful urtl!
high-heeled Shoes are discarded
permanently by women.
Plans for national campaign
of education for teachers and
mothers and the instruction OF
children in the proper care OF
the feet, and the Importance of
wearing shoes that fit properly,
were started in the convention.
