OSTEOPATH PREDICTS
HUMANS WITH HOOPS

CHICAGO. Dec. 30.-P)-Hu-
mans will have hoofs instead OF feet
if the present system Of shoe manu-
featuring and fitting is not improved,
DIR. H. W. Bynum of Memphis, de-
clarcd today in an address at the Chi
cago College of Osteopathy. Seventy
per cent Of American people have de-
fective feet. it is shown by govern
ment records, he said.
"In the mad rush for style and
looks, shoes as manufactured today
violate every principle Of mechanics
and anatomy" he asserted. "and If
the system is not improved to conform
to the structural lines of the anatomy
of the human foot We will become a
nation with boots instead Of feet.
"No man can be at his best mentally
or physically with flat feet, fallen
arches, Morton's toe, or any number
Of foot ailments now so prevalent.
"The average shoe fitting is a joke
on the man who buys the shoe and it
is q question Of salesmanship not shoe
fitting service" Foot ailments can be
cured but they won't stay cured I'M
less correct shoes are worn afterwards,
he said.
