by gunire from the three pursuit planes. China, it

Tight Shoes Make Many
Wrinkles Doctors Say
Medic Bulletin Declares Comfor-
table Feet Important to
Health and Beauty

st. Paul, Feb. 16-A prematurely
lined face may be the result Of
worry or disease, or it may be the
result of ill-f1tting shoes.
Thus mebers of the Minnesota
State Medical Association today
warn all women whose choice Of
foot wear is based on good looks
rather than comfort.
"a better fitted shoe, roomier and
not quite so high in the heel may
make all the difference between a
smooth attractive face and wrink-
led, worried one" says the bulletin.
There is no valid excuse either
in good looks or economy for the
prevailing tight-shoe phobia. It has
caused painful irremediable foot de-
fects, damage to internal organs
and bad dispositions" The doc
tors point out "Nine times out Of
ten the weakened deformed feet
that are almost universal in adult
women were caused simply by in
sistence on shoes improperly fitted
and might easily have been avoid
ed"
At best modern society places a
greater strain on the feet than ma
ture intended, the bulletin notes.
Our feet are called upon by occu-
patton and dress to function under
unfavorable conditions. Nature
meant us to stand and walk in
such a position that the heels are
on the same level as the toes. High
heels force the body forward.
They force the weight upon the
toes, deform the arch Of the foot,
shorten the muscles on the back OF
the calf and disturb the relations Of
the internal organs
"The best we can do to offset in
evitable strains Is to refrain from
wearing exaggeratedly high heels,
at least for walking" says the bull
letin. And we can refrain from
forcing our feet into torture-in-
struments of shoes that are too
short or too narrow.
Anyhow, the woman whose feet
are bullying from a shoe that Is
manifestly too small Is as unbeauti-
full as she is uncomfortable.

nOmen Counties Comes On
der State Control

The state executive council FRI

state conservation commission in
taking over approximately 100000
acres of tax delinquent land in

meeting their heavy obligations.
Following APPROVAL of Governor
Olson the counties will submit a

has requested the state to take
over, about 100000 acres. has obi
cations of 594, 200 in bonds and
$208, 800 in interest.
The state will take over the
lands in Aitkin county also. as re-
quested by the commissioners of

ton is obtained.
Residents of the counties in
which the states takes over land,
may redeem the land If they desire
by paying up delinquent taxes un-
der the statutes. The states will
not acquire full title until five
years after the transfer.

u. S. High Court viii
Decide ON Redistricting
Accepts Disputed Minnesota Law
For Consideration On Appeal
May Be Elected at Large

Washington, Feb. 15-The SUI
preme court Monday granted a
writ Of certiorari in the Minnesota
reappportionment case. TINS
means the court will take jurisdic-
ton in the appeal made by w.
Yale Smiley from the decision OF
the state supreme court which up
held the action of Minnesota legis-
lature in passing the reapportion-
ment act without the consent OF
the governor, The date for hearing
has not been set, but will be an
nounced soon. Mr.. Smiley was in
the supreme court room when the
order was handed down.
The decision opens up the entire
issue Of the right of state legisla-
lures to pass acts of reapportion-
ment without the approval of gov
ernors. Similar cases are pending
in New York and other states. The
supreme court never has passed
directly on this issue.
In Minnesota, the governor re-
fused to approve the reapportion-
ment measure on the ground that
it was inequitable, especially so in
the case of Minneapolis. The legis-
lature then decided it could re-
apportion without the approval Of
the governor. An appeal was made
to the courts by w. Yale Smiley as
a taxpayer and citizen. The state
supreme court upheld the conten-
ton of the state Legislature. Mr..
Smiley then appealed to the United
States supreme court and the de-
cision Monday means the highest
court viii consider and pass on the
matter.
Should the supreme court over
throw the decision of the state SUI
preme court. the Minnesota MEM
bers would be compelled to run at
large which produces another diff
Guilty. The state legislature failed
to make provisions for them to
run at large. Unless this situation
is remedied by action Of congress
the governor would be compelled
to call a special session Of the leg
islature. A remedy is suggested by
a bill in the house by Representa-
tive Summers of Texas which pro-
vides for running at large by
members of congress in cases
where states have lost or gained in
their Representation but where no
state provision has made for them
to do so.
The activity Of Mr.. Smiley in
bringing the appeal, followed by
his appointment as solicitor in
the department Of justice at Wash
ington, assigned to the depart
ment of commerce, has aroused q
storm within the Minnesota house
delegation which looks upon the
appointment as a reward for Mr.
Smiley's activity in the matter
Naturally all Of them are opposed

State Issues, Candidates
to the Fore at Conference
Unified Program VIII Be Developed
VIII Recommend Candidates
for State Office

State issues and state candidates
will occupy the spotlight at the Re-
publican Conference to be held in
the st. Paul Auditorium, March 10.
"The Statewide Conference has
been called to develop unified pro-
gram among Minnesota Republic
cans for dealing with state prob
lems," e. L. Mcmillan, chairman Of
the Republican State Central Conn
mittee, said. 1--WE are going to
concern ourselves at the March
gathering solely with the state
problems and with state candi-
dates"
Mr.. McMillan's statement en-
phasized that the national political
situation insofar as Minnesota was
concerned would be dealt with at
the regular state Republican con-
vention scheduled for April 30th.
The selection Of the seven delegates
at large to the Republican Nation
al Convention will be done at the
April 30th meeting and will not be
brought before the Statewide Con-
ference in March in any way, he
declared.
Fright now the Republican State
Central Committee in Minnesota Is
concentrating on the local prob
lem," Mr.. Mcmillan pointed out.
1--WE are concerned with re-organiz-
ing our county committees, with
finding the strongest and most COM
petent candidates for the offices or
governor, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, and
the other posts to be filled in No
vember. And we are particularly
anxious to draft a platform which
will be truly representative of the
constructive, sound principles which
the party has always stood for in
this state. When these matters
have been cleared up and definitely
settled, the State Convention, meet
ing six weeks later, will be able to
address itself to the national situa-
ton unhampered."
The calls for the precinct eau
cuses and the county conventions
have already been issued to every
county by the State Central Com
mittee and these gatherings will be
held on March 18th and March
10Th respectively. Each county
convention has been authorized to
decide for itself as to whether 1t
will elect two separate delegations
one for the Statewide Conferenc
and one for the State Convention, or
whether it shall authorize one dele
cation to attend both meetings.
Republican groups throughout
the state have responded enthus-
iastically to the call for the State
Wide Conference, Sam 8. Haislet,
secretary Of the State Central
Commute, reports.
"The manner in which the Re
publican leaders in various COM
munities have taken hold Of the
preliminary work for the confer
ence is very encouraging" Mr..
Haislet said. Everyone Of the 81
counties will be represented by a
full delegation. We will have the
most militant party gathering that
Minnesota Republicanism has
known in recent years, and we will
emerge from the conference with a
strong slate of candidates and a
real party platform"

a warm evening, the audience was very

very few children were present The
seats were filed with the members of

and took their places on the stage 1t
was an imposing sight to see these 126
nattily attired students, the boys with

boquetS move by twoS to the center of
the hall and then diverge in single file
to mount the temporary stairway to the
stage and after the benediction pro-

take their seats.
Miss Anna Schuster gave the Saluta-
