Samuel HILL To
TOUR WORLD FOR
PEACE PROGRAM
viii Invite Participation in Plan
to Establish and Guarantee
Permanent Peace

NEW YORK. - Representing the
most powerful group of Americans
pledged to secure permanent peace
throughout the entire world, Samuel
Hill, last of the great pioneers
of this country, will start on a world
tour in January during which he will
marshal the forces of peace in every
nation.
Important Meetings.
This announcement, made public
recently, is the outcome of a series
OF meetings held during the past two
months, at which Mr.. Hill presided
and where the most important lead
ers of industry and business discuss
ed methods for obtaining lasting
peace. Secrecy has been maintained
on the details of the plans adopted
since the group felt that a premature
announcement would work against the
project.
Only the broad general details of
Mr.. Hills plan have become known.
The world peace movement will be
launched on a scale greater than any
other movement attempted and will be
backed up by definite working plans
and sufficient finance. Mr.. Hills
foreign tour will cover the entire
globe and will be for the specific pur-
pose of providing an incentive for the
nations visited to commence thinking
in terms Of everlasting peace. Dele
gates from the people of each nation
will attend the First International
Peace conference which will be held
at King SOlomOn's temple in Philadel-
phia during six months Of next year.
Long Been Active
Mr.. Hill, who was at one time pres
ident Of II of the most important
railroads of this country, has long
been deeply interested in the cause Of
peace. During the last few years he
has visited virtually all the nations
of the world and conferred with their
most prominent citizens on methods
4 Of guaranteeing peace. He has locked
forward to the time when sentiment
for world peace would be crystallized
by the adoption Of a definite educa-
tional plan suitable for all nations.
When Mr.. Hill leaves en- his world
peace tour he will be accompanies
by representative leaders of virtually
S every walk of life in this country
r many of whom are thoroughly famil
lar with European conditions.

GARRETT P. SERVISS TELLS OF
EFFICIENCY OF HUMAN FOOT
1t Is Proposed to Find Laws Governing Distri-
button Of Body Weight Throughout the Foot.

AT Yale University an investi-
"A. cation is under way, with the
aid Of specially devised, and to-be-
devised, apparatus, to determine
the efficiency of the human foot
as a mechanism. Independent
OF the universal interest of the
subject itself-for If the automo-
bile has practically banished the
horse. it can never affect the
value of the foot as a. means
OF locomotion-this investigation
throws incidental light on the
errors into which seekers after
science sometimes fall, not to
their own disadvantages only, but
to that of everybody else.
What I. mean will be evident
from reading a statement quoted
below from Doctor Dudley Nor
ton, the instructor in surgery
who has charge Of the proposed
investigation. Long ago some
body invented the hypothesis
that the efficiency of the foot in
walking was dependent upon the
height of the longitudinal arch.
This was taken to be science,
and during the army examina-
tions in the recent war, was ap-
piled on that supposition, TO the
feet OF volunteers and dra tted
men.
"This method says Doctor
Morton, lied to the rejection OF
many applicants and drafted men
whose feet presented low arches,
but who had never experienced
discomfort, even under strenuous
activity, because their body weight
was properly distributed through
their low.arched feet. On the
other hand many thousands of &C.
copied recruits who possessed we'll
developed arches were soon as
signed to development camps be.
cause Of foot trouble"
Real Laws
Since so extensive an exper-
fence demonstrated the erroneous,
ness Of the theory that the height
OF the arch supplied standard
by which to estimate the foot
efficiency, it is now proposed TO
find out the real laws governing
the distribution Of the BODY
weight throughout the foot. in
The various positions of standing
and walking.
This Is not, perhaps. what one
could cal q, crying example of
terror arising from hastily formed
theory, and yet as an assumed
principle in anatomy it governed
practice. and when applied on
large scale, as we have seen, had
unfortunate results. IT. is les
son that might well be taken to
heart by thousands who, under
the impression that they are
studying sound science. follow
the lead Of the inventors and dis
tributors OF various plausible
theories that are continually forced
upon public attention under
the color Of science. Sometimes
these aI backed by respectable
names abr even men of science

ORDER
MRS. Cornelius Beeckman

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ In a. bridal party, of ten,
where the bridegroom and best
man will be waiting al the altar
for the bride, and the rest of the
party includes matron and maid

three ushers, which form is best
for the professional?
AT a. 6 o'clock wedding,
when the men wear Tuxedo suits.
do they wear white or black
tie? L. F. NJ.
GTNHIS is the best order: First,
l. two ushers walking together;
second, one usher; third. the two
bridesmaids, walking together;
fourth, the matron Of honor,
walking alone; fifth. the maid of
honor. walking alone; and last,
the bride. walking with her father
or whoever is to present her in
marriage.
1t would be better for the
balance Of the wedding picture
to have one more usher, as they
are usually an even number. Also
the matron OF honor and the maid
Of honor sometimes walk to-
gether, but this Is not the best
form.
Usually, when there is both a.
matron Of honor and a. maid of
honor, the maid of honor walks
just ahead of the bride. But, it.

TO anyone jealous of the repu-

see the eagerness with which

seized upon and adopted by per
