One or the parts Of the human
body most subject to wear and tea
is the feet. Experts associate pain
IN the back and even disturbances
OF digestion 70 breaking down Of
the arches. The feet now carry the
entire weight Of the body. whereas
the feet OF animals that walk on all
fours carry the weight much better
distributed. Overeatlng and over
weight tend 10 increase the bur-
den still further. Standing causes
more strain than walking. Many
people can walk miles without firing
or swelling Of the feet, but suffer
greatly If they are compelled TO
stand in one place 20 or 80 min
utes.
The feet are built like arches.
The arches are supported TO O con-
siderable extent by properly made
shoes. However, gymnasium shoes,
shoes for dancing, and house slip
pers are seldom built with a proper
IN supported arch. Such shoes
should be worn only for the specific
use for which they are planned. In
some cases when there Is a ten
dency to breaking down Of the arch,
felt pads should be inserted into the
gymnasium shoes, the ballet Slip
pers, or house slippers to provide
proper support.
1t has been suggested by DR.. Philip
Levin that the flat foot associated
with obesity arises from two causes:
Cd The strain Of an excessive load.
(2) The glandular disturbances
which are commonly associated with
obesity.
Intimately associated with proper
comfort Of the feet is the question
OF suitable socks, stockings. or hos
iery. Mothers like to see their young
children with white stockings. How

must be washed frequently, and tend
70 shrink even when they are E-ied
properly over suitable foot forms.
Tight stockings tend TO cause the
toes TO turn in, the toenailS TO be-
come improving and in other
ways interfere with the pro-
per circulation Of blood in the foot.
While high arched feet are pre-
sumed to be exceptional for their
beauty, such fCnt are usually weak
unless they are especially trained.
investigation OF the occurrence Of
the high-arched foot indicates that
II Is likely to appear in families as
an hereditary characteristic.
Obviously the most important
method Of treating minor distur-
Dances OF the feet includes the use
Of proper shoes with straight inner
border line, a round toe, correct
width Of the shank. a rigid or semi
rigid shank, a heel Of moderate
height, and a snugly fitting top.

quently be helped by suitable ex-
ercise. BY massage or rubbing. and
| by bathing for 10 or Is minutes in
alternate hot and cold water. After
bathing the feet they should be
thoroughly dried and powdered.
In cases IN which the feet are
subject TO serious disturbances, 1t Is
desirable to consult a competent or
' thopedic specialist.

NEW YORK-Mons. Charles q.
Shaw, who is q professional noctur-
nal prowler for a couple cf the smart
New York publications, finds Man
haitian night life TO be "gayer than
that Of London, less genuine than
Berlin and more amusing than
Paris"
Having roamed the globe trying
to figure out how various peoples
cavort after midnight, Shaw has set
down some Of his Gotham find
ings> in Night Life" a guide book
which visitors who intend 10 step
out while in town might find con-
venient.
At a time when metropolitan folk
are still discussing the status OF
night resorts in times Of depression,
1t Is interesting to note a PREDATORY
warning in which this expert con-
cedes that BY the time his tome
reaches n readers hands the spots
mentioned may have changed names
and homogeneous. may have an p
tirely different type OF entertain
ment and may even be OIL the map.
Which Is Just about how uncer-
tain things are in the after-dark
realms these days.
Shaw sees the minimum check
supplanting the cover charge II
am convinced that the Irish make
the best WATERS he states, thus
starting many arguments about
French and italian service. Il think
that the hours between one and
three a. m. are the most exciting.
And do not be fooled by outside
appearances Of a night club. The
gayest exteriors usually harbor the
dullest hanpouts." shaw reports.
There has never been a cafe bar
equal TO the Forty-fourth Street
Sherry's. And the town holds no
equal 70 Jacks Oyster House. The
years of 1911 TO 1915 hit New York
az its top stride. The next change
a. night life will center around the
d--cc."
Thus the observations Of one Of
ihc most seasoned roundersl
kri. speaking OF this. the dance
changes OF the cavorters Is an in
teresting study in social procedure.
II was. according 10 historians,
about 1911 when night life began 70
show signs Of revolutionary change.
The fox trot had about as much
to do with this as any one thing.
Dancing has never been quite the
same since. All over the Rialto the
craze for dancing with dinner was
noted. Old B~ustanoby'S is credited
with being the first dancc-with-
your-meals resort.
Until this time. the good folk and
the bad folk had been content to sip
their champagne and sit behind
screens and palms. listening to the
~orchestras and chattering with one
another.
Old-time Hoboken. with It's color
full and gay beer gardens. had had
a sort OF fOlk-dancing and a few
convivials had been noticed traip-
sing between tables. But the Gus
tom Of regulated dance programs
with dinner was a new vogue that
sent thousands to the night resorts.
II Is also recorded by historians
that the most notorious dance hall
in town was once owned by q GER
tain Harry Hill. It was located on
the fringe Of Greenwich Village,
/ where Broadway meets Houston. II
was one OF the naughty sights which
no visiting summer dared miss. A
fittle m~arionette theater where vul-
gar playlets were given afforded
amusement between dancse.

Garner Stock Is Picking Up

It must be true that the man with the scythe is ever
busy. Cong. Ernest X. Alderman of the fifth New Jersey
district is dead. He was a republican, had served seven
terms in the house and was 6S years old. He was very
wealthy. He had made more than so transatlantic
voyages. For so years he carried an umbrella constant
", he possessed the third largest and most valuable stamp
collection in existence and he had travelled one million
miles. His passing has tied the republican and demo-
cratic party strength. Each has 214 members. There
are six vacancies caused by death. Four of the districts
are normally republican and two are normally democratic.
Gov. Larson of New Jersey, under the law, can call an
election to be held at the end of 80 days, to fill the new
vacancy in the fifth district Of the state. Since the cleo
tions of the new senate and house in Nov. 1880 IL house
members and three members of the senate have passed
away. who will be the next to die?'

The Political
Analyst

An unprecedented record for
speed was made by four depart
ments Of the state government re-
Gently, that resulted in saving state
employees hundreds OF dollars, and
permitted the Confederate veterans
again to cash their pension war
rants.
Gov. Ross Sterling approved the
bill to buy from the highway de-
partments funds $3,000,0O0 OF gen.
eral revenue warrants. In 80 min
utes the highway department had
entered the necessary orders.
Compt. George II. Sheppard had set
up a new system Of books TO carry
the special account, and Treas.
George II. Sheppard had paid out
$4,000 in cash for warrants at full
face value.
And this with the requirement
that those other than original
payees presenting warrants should
file affidavits that the warrants had
not been discounted.
THAT is a record that every one
Of the departments concerned has a
right to be proud Of" Rep. X. M.
Hubbard, author OF the warrant
purchase bill, declared. 1t Is some
thing the like Of which / had never
seen. There was no official indif-
ference there. That Is a record for
efficiency that I don't think the
state ever before approached"
Mr.. Hubbard insisted that taking
the Confederate warrants up, rathe
than forcing their sale at high dis
count rate, where purchasers could
be found at all, was a worthy thing.
He said that, too, relief OF the state
employees from payinI a 2 per cent
discount to banks on their warrants
resulted in substantial savings TO
the workers.
The scramble for Texas votes TO
nominate the next president, was
pushed up TO begin in the last ses-
sion Of the legislature when Rep. I.
II. McGregor OF Austin offered a
r~esolutio~ calling for a presidential
primary next summer.
The resolution recited that the
democratic party has the power TO
hold such an election. the expense
TO be borne by supporters OF the
various candidates.
Many states have similar cleo
tions, Mr.. McGregor's resolution
pointed out.
The proposal called for aHpor-
tioning the Texas national conven-
ton delegates among followers Of
the various candidates in the ratio
Of the popular vote.
Mi. McGregor said this, removing
the unit system" Of casting all the
states 46 votes for a single candi-
date in the EARL ballots, would
leave the delegates representing
minor candidates free - go 70
whomever they chose during the
convention.

Elaborated on Idea
Vionnet first made suits with
light tops and dark skirts.
Then she liked the idea so we'll
that she tried it in evening
gowns. It has been successful
in Paris, and will no doubt
equal that success in America.
Other designers have followed
her lead, some of them max

might do double or triple duty.

plans for the evening after we

For Evening Wear
We've sketched frock today
that illustrates the use of black
and white in an informal eve
ming costume. The skirt is of
chiffon, full, but clinging to the
figure so that it makes a per-
feet Grecian silhouette. The
bodice is of white chiffon, with
little capeletS that make it into
an informal dinner frock, or re-
moved, transform it into a
formal evening gown.
