One good thing about growing old
Is that ones feet stop growing.
The shoe problem Is solved for life.
"Give me size 6 and II c." one says,
or whatever it may be.
It is the same at 80 years as at 20,
the same at 40 as at 30, and no doubt
will be the same at 100 II one Is lucky
people often say. ooh. I wouldn't
want to live to be that odd" but why
not?
1t depends upon the possession OF
two things, q curious mind and an In
telligent one.
One may possess a mind and also be
curious, but II the mind is not intelli-
gent and II the curiosity Is not IN
telligent, too, the one will indulge In
peevishment and the other in carping
merely.
To grow up gracefully, and to grow
old the same way, means to be inter-
ested in everything, but in none toe
much.
Feet and shoes undoubtedly have
more to do with life than many wouiu
be willing to admit
To hobble through the years with
feet that hurt is to suffer the tor-
ments of the damned.
One can put up with a great many
more unpleasant things II only ms Ieet
do not ache.
Mankind's recognition of this truth
Is shown by the tremendous vogue dur.
ing the past 10 years for health shoes
of all kinds.
Some 90 in for arch supports, some
throw the toes in, some force them out,
some make the walker toe straight
ahead. others force him to walk on The
outside of the feet.
There are as many brands of these
shoes as there are makers, and no doubt
there are q million wearers for every
manufacturer.
Shoes are on our composite feet, the
national feet, for from to IL 10 ~
hours--in some instances DAY; some
people may be said to live entireiy In
shoes.
Some have shoe obsessions. Women
often specialize on them, buying two or
three pairs at a time. Their closets
viii be filled with shoes. They keep
them in racks, in boxes, on the moor,
under the bed, in the attic.
Most of us haven't enough money to
indulge our fancy, and many OF us
would not If we could. Those in the
latter class ask nothing better than q
pair Of shoes that is comfortable.
Given comfort, style may go hang:
To have shoes that are easy on the
feet Is the one practical thing. Some
people are lucky-they walk into .
store, put on pair. and walk out.
They have found their shoe. Hence
forth buying q new pair of shoes Is no
more dificult than telephOning.
They are lucky. The writer here Is
lucky. He has been wearing the same
make Of shoe for long time. In any
style, this shoe fits, and without pro-
test. No corns, bunions, calluSes or
whatnot mar the symmetry OF his hoofs.
A new shoe feels like an old shoe.
Being with friend. once, IN q shop
whose shoes sell for two and half
times the price Of his, he was impor-
tuned to purchase pair OF the ex-
pensiye foot coverings.
But why should II"
And, indeed, why should any one
change his brand" when the shoes he
wears suit him from the ground up?

Tax Reduction and Politics.

1t Ia impossible, at least 1t is unwise,
to predict now what the state OF the
Nations finances will be next Decein-
Der, when Congress must decide wheth-
eT conditions warrant continuation
OF the one per cent reduction on the
normal income tax rates voted last year
This, In brief, is the sense of the
statements issued yesterday afternoon
By President Hoover and Secretary
Mellon. The statements were primarily
designed to Offset the pessimistic tone
Of newspaper articles appearing Thurs
day afternoon and yesterday morning
In which It was set forth that II any
hope could now be found for continued
tax reduction next December the hope
was slim indeed.
Neither the President nor Mr.. Mellon
II willing TO promise tax reduction now
The best that either can say is that
predictions ut this date are premature.
The President points out that greatly
decreased customs receipts Of the past
ssx weeks can be attributed. in part at
least, to the advanced imports that
were rushed to the country ahead of
the new tariff law. In estimates con-
cerning depleted revenue, upon which
the pessimistic news dispatches were
based, no account has been taken of
the receipts from foreign debt interest
payments, which should aggregate about
eis6.0oo.oo nor Of the savings repre-
sented by cuts In expenditures appro-
priated for BY Congress, now set at
about s75, 100000. As the administra-
ticn Is evidently leaning heavily on
these items in connection with plans
Tor tax reduction, forecasts concerning
the possibility Of tax reduction must
include them.
The political aspect Of the situation
brought about by the debatable pros
poets Of tax reduction is more inter-
esting, however. than the economic fac
tors. Ability to reduce taxes or In
ability to reduce taxes is capitalized by
both parties. No sooner had Mr..
Eoover's statement been published than
Cordefl Hull Of Tennessee delivered an
aggrieved sermon, emphasizing the evil
effects Of trying to make political cap
ital Of such non-partisan affairs as tax
reduction. In other words. Mr.. Hull inn
rnediateiy made political capital out OF
the fact that the President. In Mr..
Huil's estimation, is in dificulties be-
cause the Republican party made
political capital out Of tax reductions
In the past. Somebody from Republic
can headquarters viii doubtless rise to
the occasion and politically capitalize
Mr. Huiis views on political capitaliza-
ton by denouncing him for making
political capital Of the Presidents state
uaent.
Being solely q matter Of dollars and
cents, tax reduction depends on what
q shown when the books are balanced
for congressional inspection in Decem-
Der. and not upon who IL elected in
November.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY pHrLANDER JOHNSON.

Superabundance.
When your troubles you're relating
In tone that's all severe.
You will find nobody waiting
Your remarks to oyerhear.
You may think them worth attending,
As YOU seek to make them known,
But your friends no heed are lending;
They have troubles of their own.
If your moods are acrobatic
Or you hit q comic style
Or develop thoughts erratic,
They may greet you with smile.
But it's all different matter
II you seek to heave q sigh.
The demand for hard-luck chatter
Never equals the supply.

LEGION POST RESUMES
 FLAG POLE CAMPAIGN
Curb Sockets and Bronze Rods for Business and Residence Districts
 Being Provided

Eddy-Glover Post, American Le- zion, is taking up again it's program of providing flag poles and flags for stores in the business district and for such residences as desire mate rial, it is now offering slim, bronze poles, flags of high grade material, and sidewalk sockets.
 The post is using a slim bronze rod. It is also using a special side walk socket, also made of bronze and with a screw cap. The com plaint made against the former sock ct was that unless covered the hole was so large that women were apt to catch the heels Of their shoes Ill them and trip. The new sockets are so small that this would he inn possible even if they were left un- covered and the caps provided easi- ly put on. As the holes in the side walk required of the sockets will be small, there will not be such split ing of the sidewalks and unncces- sary large holes as were made be- before.
 It is the aim of the Eddy Glover Post to have these sockets provided in front of all the stores in the busi, ness district and in front of as many residences as possible, If every store or place Of business agrees to the proposal, the central streets on holi- days will present the spectacle of
