|HE best position for radio in
a home is a problem which
confrOntS every one who gets
i one of these instruments. There
are some main considerations,
and many minor ones. The main ones
are more or less dependent upon the
type of radio selected, and the prox-
unity of neighbors. The decorative
value of the instrument in the scheme
of a room is one of prime significance
since radios are becoming almost as
much in evidence as telephones.
Avoid placing the radio before WIN
dow Not only is this considered an un-
wise choice from the viewpoint OF the
instrument best care, but the sound
will circulate around the neighborhood
to the disturbance of neighborS. In
some places laws are enacted to prevent
such positioning. 1t is mistake to have
your pleasure prove a disagreeable thing
to those living nearby. 1t is dusty
place for the instrument. The back OF
many radios is not decorative feature
and if the radio stands high enough to
be seen through the window, this should
be considered carefully. The decorative
features of a house should be attractive
on the outside as well as the inside.

dios are now made make it possible as

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
Choosing Footwear.
BY LOIS LEEDS.

EAR MISS LEEDS. - What
\ kind of shoe should wear?
Round toed shoes fit the
- natural shape of my foot,
but when 1 go to buy shoes
the salesman always tells me 1 should
wear pointed shoes. They make me
look as though I had bunionS. l like
to wear high heels. WAITING.
AnsWer.-If you wear such shoes, you
will not only look as though you have
bunions, but you will soon have them.
The natural position of the great toe
is pointed straight forward. When
pointed shoes are worn, this toe is
squeezed out of position, the joint en-
larges and painful bunions develop. In
choosing shoes. therefore, be sure to
look for the straight inner line that
allows the great toe to lie in its normal
position. Shoes of this type come with
graceful oval toes that follow the nat
ural curve of the feet. Feet should
not be forced into shoes that do not
fit them. For general wear choose
comfortable shoes with heels no higher
than one and one-half inches. For
dress occasions a higher heel is per-
missible. Habitual wearing Of very
high heels will weaken the feet and
thicken the ankles. No one who always
wears high heels is a good pedestrian
and walking is one of the best exer-
cises for keeping oneself physically fit.

Everyday Psychology
Concerning PSYCHOLOGISTS.
By DIR. JESSE W. sPROWLs.

If you were to believe everything
that is said and written in the name
of psychology. you would get the i'm
preston that there are several kinds of
psychology. This impression does vio-
lence to the science itself. What is
more important. it confuses the seekers
after the knowledge of psychology as a
science.
Why try distinguish between child
psychology and adult psychology? Men
are but children-especially when in
trouble.
Why distinguish between social psy-
chology and individual psychology? In
dividualS are the units Of any pSy-
chology. Moreover. individuals are
socially minded even when observed in
isolation. Every one feels the force OF
the great society. whether or not he
pretends to have a mind of his own.
