the uneven wearing of the shoes?
If YOU find that you have ten
dency in any of these directions you
should look Immediately to the cor
rection of the condition, remember
ing that this condition may be pres
ent with high instep and with no
evidence Of flat foot
As flat foot develops, however. the
inward bend Of the ankle is easily
anparent. The inner hollow Of the
foot disappears and when the shoes
are removed, the entire sole rests
upon the ground. -.
Correct Your Feet Early In Life
The earlier in life this condition
of the feet is detected the better for
the individual. A cure for flat feet
after middle life. especially in ex-
tremely heavy people, is difficult or
impossible, especially il the arches
are completely broken down.
Much relief can be afforded, how
ever, by proper braces, fitted Sci
entifically by means of plaster
cast. 1t is here that the orthopedic
surgeon functions:
In all probability you would not
consult lawyer in preference to u
mechanic if you were experiencing
! engine trouble with your automobile.
| By the same token why should
YOU consult your local shoe dealer
rather than an orthopedic surgeon, a
specialist. when you are experiencing
! foot trouble?
In young people, cure can al
most invariably be effected il the
case of foot trouble is taken in time,
and it frequently happens that,
while braces and supports. used on
the advice Of an orthopedic surgeon
may be necessary for a time, later
they may be dispensed with when
the faulty condition has been cor
rected.
Flat feet in the young is by no
means an incurable condition, in
fact, it is generally durable. The
mistake that should not be made is
to suppose that in such cases, So
called "arch supports" will either
cure flat feet or that people with flat
feet are necessarily condemned TO
wear such supports throughout life.
The prevention Of flat foot con-
sists largely Of due exercise Of the
muscles and tendons, by plenty Of
! walking and running. especially in
childhood, and especially on rough
ground.
1t may be said that indirectly, flat
pavements and sidewalks. products
of civilization, are one cause of flat

That was the surveys Genesis.
Covell was put in charge. He's
thorough by nature. He had plenty
Of money-S5O, O00-to do a good job.
And the despotic form Of the dis
| trict's government provided him with
an excellent machine for his work.
More pedestrians are hit by autos
between 8 and 8 p. m. than at any
other time Of day or night. Pre-
sumably this is because visibility is
low, but hasn't been low long enough
for autoists and pedestrians to get
| used to it.
Besides, it's an hour when most
people are bent on pleasure and
therefore careless.
Eleven to noon is the peak hour
| for autos to hit fixed objects-,as
their drivers are scooting home for
lunch.
But the rush hour is from 5 to 6,
because more people go home to
dinner than to lunch. That's when
most autos collide. These are some
Of the things Covell ascertained.
How many auto owners always
leave their cars out all night?
Covell got the newspapers to an
nounce that, on a particular night,
the police would make roundup Of
al such ears. That was to scare to
cover all who INDUCED in all night
parking only part Of the time. That
night he had the police make, not a
roundup. but a count.
Out of Washington's $4,000 autos,
they counted $4,000 homeless cars.
One policeman counted ITO on his
beat alone.
If Covell hadn't scared the semi.
homeless car owners in advance
thcre'd have been more. The police
man referred to made a second count
a few nights later, just to amuse
himself. That time he counted 507.
That's why there are so many man.
gy looking autos in Washington. The
district commissioners estimate that.
In the absence of any scare from
Covell, $4,000 cars habitually spend
all their nights in the street. which
doesn't do an automobile any good.
There's more of it here than else

the government clerk. who can't ar.

Wouldn't you suppose that a street
/ car, running along a regular track,
would be safer to ride in than a bus
ranging all over the street? Such
isn't the case.
Covell found that a bus is twice
as safe as street car.

Startling Figures

Representatives Of the railroads testified in Chi
cago recently that almost oneift of the money
invested in western railways failed to receive any
return in 1924
That is not healthy condition either for the
carriers the country which these roads serve.
1t is contended also that the rate Of return
received on the total railroad investment in 1916
was $50 per cent and in 1924 only 1915 How lon';
capital can be secured to develop the rail proper
ties OF the nation is predetermined. TO starve the
railroads will react in the long upon the farmer
and the business Western carriers have been
on shorter rations than any other system of rail
roads They have suffered keenly from the dehation
that placed business in the agricultural sections
at low ebb, Business is revving and of course the
railroads will enjoy their increase of profits along
with other lines of business, but their experts de-
clare that even making allowances for natural in
creases in volume, the rates in force will not
give adequate returns upon the investment, to
mention what is needed to create reserves for de
probation, replacement and extensions.
The inherent weakness Of government regula-
tons OF any utility is that strictly economic prob
lens are treated in political and not a scientific
manner. Officials charged with the responsibility
OF rate making too often Influenced by the po-
lical phases of railroad regulation. 1t should not
be impossible to fix rate that will give capital in

as is accorded other industry.
Unless the problems incident to rate making are
settled along business lines, the United States will
