cation that Mr.. Sargent has been
selected to represent the United

has had a hand in the development
Of good roads practically from the
inception of the movement.
Mr.. Sargent is a member of most

Dedicate Memorial u
In Honor Marlborough
u. S. N. Commander

Plattsburg, N. Y. Aug. 1S-(P)-
The Thomas MacDonough Memorial,
erected in honor of the American
naval commander who defeated a
British fleet in the battle of Lake
Champlain, 112 years ago, was dedi-
Gated with elaborate ceremony to-
day. Secretary of State Frank B.
Kellogg delivered the dedicatory ad-
dress and high officers Of army and
navy joined with representatives of
state and municipalities in tribute to
one Of the outstanding figures in
American naval history.
Secretary Kellogg, after recount
ing briefly the story of the Lake
Champlain engagement, devoted the
greater part of his address to a dis
cussion of the Geneva conference for
the limitation of ornaments, denied
unqualifiedly that any withdrawal
from the Geneva discussions was
contemplated by the Washington
government. Mr.. Kellogg adhered
closely to the prepared manuscript
of his address. He made no refer
| ence to the Mexican situation.
Secretary Kellogg was roundly APP
plauded when, in referring to the
fact that there had been more than
century OIL peace between Gredt
Britain and the United States since
the battle of Lake Champlain, he
said: 1T is inconceivable that any,
thing can bring these nations again
| into the conflict of war"
Another demonstration Of approval
| followed his statement that the
American delegation at the Geneva
! conference has made clear its posi-.
ton that this government would not
| agree to placing the supervision of
its ornaments or the carrying out OF
any plan for the limitation of arma-
ments in the hands of any interna-
| tional body"
1--WE will not accept supervision of
any outside body" he said. cor be
| subject to inspection or control by

At the conclusion of Secretary
| Kellogg's address, little Miss Isabel
Agness MacDonough, of New Haven

| modore Marlborough. released the
| bunting that had yelled the tablets in
the lower part of the monument.

Have You LAME FEET

Many people who have developed weak
arches wear metal braces. Blocking
mp the arch 10 now considered the last
resort In treatment. It takes the strain
from the muscles to such a degree that
these muscles deteriorate still further.
To be fitted with such braces from
stock by a shoe clerk Is the height of
unwtsdom.
Arch trouble IL too serious not to be
handled by competent medical spe-
otaust. In q large number of cases
the specialist can give treatments and
prescribe exercises to effect a cure
without resorting to metal braces. If
braces are necessary they should be
prepared according to prescription to

How Much
Per Year
for Shoes?

Miss c. buys each year six
pairs of shoes, costing about
six dollars a pair. That's
$4,000 a year.
Mrs. B. pays about eleven
dollars a pair for her Can't
ilevers, but finds she requires
only three pairs a year, since
they wear and hold their shape
so well. So she expends only
$4,000 a year for shoes.
She always enjoys foot COM

about her shoes which Miss
C.'s footwear lacks.
Miss B. has learned by expe-
rience that the price paid for a
pair of shoes is a poor measure
of their real value. What mat
