The Feminine Foot

For many centuries, right up to- the most mod

A small foot the badge of lady. Cinderella,

Charming because she had foot small enough to
fit in the glass slipper that the despair OF all
the other damsels in the fairy kingdom. Chinese
women have had small feet. for their feet are band
aged when they are very small children and thus
prevented from growing Always the aim has
been to have a smaller foot. 1t has always been
supposed to be badge of proper ancestry and deli
cate breeding.
But our modern, athletic girl has changed all
that Where heretofore the classic feminine foot
has been a 4B now shoemen declare that high
grade footwear cannot longer be constructed with
this size as the staple last. Girls who can ride
and row and swim and run and jump are not
likely to teeter around on ABS. More likely they'll
be 5Cs, or better
But this is no cause for despair. The modern
girl may have larger feet, but she is much finer
specimen Of healthy womanhoOd than her maternal
ancestors. If the modern girl has developed her
feet she has not left other parts of her body be-
hind. Shoulders, neck, and legs have com,

physical poise and glowing health. The exercise

Divorce "Slush"

Several divorce actions recently staged have been

NEW KIND OF ROAD
HOGS" DISCOVERED
Dig Up Highways, Maintenance
Men Charge Governing
Animals on Roads Explained.

A warning against allowing domes-
tic animals to roam promiscuously
on the highways is contained in this
weeks State Highway bulletin. The
department has received reports of
cases where hogs have seriously dam
aged highways and road bitches. Such
cases, says the bulletin, are covered
by section 2615, G. S. 1928, which
makes it a misdemeanor to dig holes
in the highways, remove dirt or gra-
vel, or damage or obstruct the ditch
es. This law applies to all roads.
In fact no one has any legal right
to permit live stock of any kind to
Craze or feed on the highway right
of way. Both state and county high
way officers, however, usually do not
object when no damage is done to the
road and when the animals are at
tended so that they will not unduly
interfere with traffic. Live stock
owners have the right at all times
to drive animals across and aleng
highways.
Owners of live stock should also
consider the question of damages in
case animals are hit by motor We
hicles on the highways If the ami
mails are unlawfully on the highway,
the owner would not only have no
claim for damages, but the owner of
the machine would have a claim, if
either personal injury or damage to
the machine can be proven. On the
driven across or along the highway,
or are otherwise lawfully on the road,
and are hit by a machine, the owner
of the stock would have valid claim
for damages against the owner or
driver of the machine
