Oxfords that are
Comfortable and
Good Looking

Many women wonder how a
shoe as trim and good looking
as the Cantilever Oxford can
give such an absolute measure
of comfort.
The reasons are simple and
logical. The Cantilever Shoe
follows the graceful, natural
lines of the foot. The shoe is
flexible like the foot. This
frees the foot and the circula-
ton and permits the foot mus
cles to strengthen through ex'
ercise.
Cantilever support is springy
and helpful. The flexible, all
leather arch of the Cantilever
is pulled up snugly to the un.
der.curve of the foot by the
simple act of lacing the shoe.
This gives you the right kind
of support,-support without
restriction in the

Pennington, Me, July 29-The i'm
portant post of treasurer for the cam
paign for $1O0,0Oo00 now being con-
Quoted for the erection of Franklin
County Memorial hospital has been
awarded to ]. Clinton Metcalf head
of the Nash Agency in Pennington.
Mr.. Metcalf has been a citizen Of
Harrington for about 80 years. For
the last 10 or II years he has been
prominent in automobile circles in
the State. He is about to begin his
second term as representative for the
Pennington district in the Maine
State Legislature. Ten years ago Mr..
Metcalf was elected a director of the
Peoples National Bank which post
he has held ever since. The Campaign
committee feels particularly fortu-
nate in securing the services of so
popular and able a citizen for this
important task.
Organization work for the active
campaign which is to begin on Au-
gust 18th has been going on rapidly
during the past week.
Prospective givers are being listed
and will presently receive through the
mails literature concerning lue
prospective hospital.
The plans of payment Of the sub
scriptions which will be sought dur
ing the week of active campaign has
been so worked out as to make it
possible for the subscriber to give
freely with the least possible effort,
Subscriptions may be paid in six in
stallments, due SIX months apart =
minimum gift of four dollars per in
stallment will be tried for. By using
this plan it will be possible for a
subscriber to give s24 payable over a
period of two and one half years, each
installment amounting to only 81.
Mr.. Metcaf, commenting upon this
method of payment said. 1T seems
to me that every individual in the
county should be more than willing
to give this when he realizes that in
return for it he gets the assurance
that there will be available the best
hospital facilities to meet any emer-
sency to which he may be subjected.
Emergencies and accidents of this
kind are beyond foretelling. No one
knows at what moment he may find
it necessary to call upon such an IN
stitution, depending upon it, perhaps,
for his very life.
he only possible way of proVid
ing such security for our county is
through our common efforts. I an
ticipated that when called upon to do
this act of love and reverence for
those in whose memory the hospital
is to be built, the people of the COM
munity will rise to the occasion, re-
Numbering not only the dead who
have gone before, but the living who

Franklin County has always done
its duty. When war called. the boys
of our county went without hesitancy
and proved themselves heroes on the

And now comes the announcement
of a nation wide campaign to curb

other large cities to ascertain where
the noise is and what causes it, and
how constant or chronic noise effects

quently results in the vendors deliv-
ering a quart Of oil which bears no
relation to that requested. The
average autoist is not, nor Is he ex-
pected to be, an expert on lubricating
oils. Even the trained engineer un-
less equipped for testing may be led
astray as to the genuineness of the
oil delivered. Realizing the ig-
norance of the public. the mechanism
of the purchase, and the infrequency
of his purchase at the particular
station, the vendor feels reasonably
safe in selling a quart of oil other

quality, purchased by him at low

tent of the practice l have examined

suits of this examination are not

point of view but startling from the
point of view of the extent to which

Common Sense About Turkey


In a letter to the Secretary of
War, published in Yesterdays issue
of the Herald Tribune, Bishop
Charles H. Brent noted the practical
reasons which have brought him into
line with the supporters of the
American Lausanne Treaty. He was
one of the signers of the protest
against ratification made not long
ago by a great majority of the
Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in the United States. That
protest was based on objections to
the treaty not so much for what it
did as for what it failed to do.
The opposition to the treaty has
been Armenian rather than anti
Turk. Our negotiators at Lausanne
have been blamed for accepting a
postwar status quo in Turkey
established by the failure of the
Sevres treaty and the military vic
tories of the Angora republic. Our
European allies who defeated Turkey
while we looked on decided finally to
recognize the new Turkish nation
which had arisen on the ruins of the
old empire. The decision ended all
hopes of Armenia's emergence as a
rival Asian state-hopes already
dampened by the refusal of the
United States to accept a mandate
for a greater Armenia.
Armenia was deserted by the
European Allies; but we had already
failed to stand by her. This aban-
doment jars on a very genuine SEN
timent for Armenian freedom and
restoration felt in this country dur
ing the war. Illustration of Arme-
MAS national dream may be sincere
ly regretted. Yet it is now part of
a past which the United States can
not reshape, unless it is willing not
only to reject the Lausanne Treaty
but to go to war with Turkey in
order to redraw the political map of
Asia Minor.
The Armenian cause apart-now a
lost cause in the World Wars his
tory-there are no grounds on which
the Senate could we'll be asked to
refuse ratification. All American
interests in Turkey join in approving
the Lausanne Treaty. Turkey has
become nationalizei and Is trying to
become Europeanized. We are not
in position to demand a return TO
the old imperial anti-nationalist
system Of xtraterritoriality. Europe
expects to maintain friendly relations
with Turkey under the Lausanne
agreement. Why should We not
recognize accomplished facts and put
our Turkish relations on the same
reasonable basis?
