THE IDEA has lately been ap-
piled In number of communities,
Of asking the school pupils to draw
up projects for the improvement OF
their home towns. The projects
that seemed the most desirable were
awarded honors as winners, and
were exhibited in some public place.
Such a scheme must attract atten-
tion to the needs of a city or town.
1t may be said that the ideas of
school children would not be very
practical. Yet they hear these
things talked about, and some good
suggestions would be made public
in this way. If we can get the peo-
pie, and particularly the young
folks, interested in the idea of con-
stantly improving their home town,
public support for such improve
ments will gain power.

HOME TOWN ENTHUSIASM

A few enthusiastic men or women,
who are warmly attached to the
home town and want to see it make
progress, can accomplish marvels in
any community. Most Of us feel a
certain attachment to the places
where we live and work, but that
attachment is too lukewarm. We
need some enthusiast to come along
and wake us up. Under the slim
illus of such leadership, people do
wake up, and they take hold and
support progressive movements, and
secure adoption of new ideas. They
work in the organizations, and make
these societies so attractive that
they make life in the community
pleasant and satisfactory. A few of
these hopeful enthusiasts can do
wonders in promoting progress.

THE HECHT CO: SECURES OFFICIAL AGENCY
FOR THE FAMOUS NJ. ". LOCKE SHOES
A STATEMENT
FROM DIR. LOCKE

Many years ago learned from my prac-
tice that certain details in footwear
were essential to the good health Of the
feet-particularly those that required
treatment-and have always believed
that many ailments Of the body arise
from unhealthy feet. poor circulation
and weak arches, and that many Of
these ailments would not have occurred
If feet were correctly shod and shoes
properly fitted.
| At one time, to obtain the desired re-
suits, prescribed certain changes to be
made by hoe-repair shops in the shoes
worn by my patients, always believing
that in some way shoe could be COM
pletely manufactured embodying fea-
lures that would obtain better results.
Eventually I met, through Mr.. H. W.
Gilhooly of Williamsburg, shoe manu-
facturer willing to undertake the task
and assume the necessary expense.
changes and improvements were neces-
sary. I know that time, work and in

tails I believe being patented by the
manufacturers.

these shoes but withheld this until at

While cannot expect that every pair Of

their purpose I know that they have
been helpful to many thousands of my
patients and to many who have not at

many that I now give my endorsation.

1t was little over year ago that word
first began to trickle into this country
Of a modest country doctor, living in a
small Ontario village, who conducts the
largest "one-man medical practice" in
the world. This physician, DR.. M. w.
Locke, specializes in the treatment of
ailing feet. Hundreds of men and
women from every State in the Union,
and every province of Canada wend
their way daily to his obscure clinic at
Williamsburg, to receive the benefit of
his treatment
What manner of man is this who can

coast to coast in the United States?

The man is Dr. M. W. Locke. He lives

DR.. Locke insists upon his patients
wearing shoes that he prescribes. He
considers them important in his

placed under the instep of DR..
Locke's shoes. Another feature of
this special shoe is the wedges placed
just right to balance the weight
bearing points ON the foot. DR..
Locke seems to place a lot Of i'm
portance on footwear, because he di-
rects that patients shoe be wedged,

Just twenty seconds is all the time
DR.. Locke requires for his treatments.
The six and seven hundred that he
treated each day early last Summer
were treated at that rate and when
an article written by Rex Beach, the
author, in Cosmopolitan Magazine
and reprinted in many newspapers
appeared as many as l. 500 people a

MAKING CHILD HEALTH
DAY WORTH WHILE

OOV0IuOF. tlICQl0 mas issued
proclamation setting aside
the first day of May as Child
Health Day, throughout Mary
land, and asking Marylanders
to join in the nationwide OBJ
servance of the day.
Signed by the Governor and
sealed with the Great Seal of
the State, the message calls
upon all Marylanders to give
particular thought to the
health needs of the children of
this State and to assist in ev-
cry way possible in furthering
the health and well-being of
Maryland's most valuable as
sets-its children and young
people.
The State Committee for
Child Health Day is composed
of representatives of State,
County and City Departments
of Health and of Education; of
State and county medical soci-
cites; parent-teacher associa-
tons; service clubs; organi-
cations concerned with the
care of handicapped children;
recreational groups and others
interested in the health or well
fare of children. DR.. j. Fl. M.
Knox, Jr., Chief of the Bureau
of Child Hygiene of the State
Department of Health is Chair
man of the State Committee.
Reports received by DR..
Knox show that arrangements
are being made in every section
of Maryland, to make this
years celebration of Child
Health Day, especially worth
while. In nearly all instances,
the observance will not. end
with the day. Instead, it. will
mark the beginning of activi-
ties that will be carried on thru
the coming months. Here are
some of the plans:

The first of this years spring
and summer, special child
health conferences are under
way in the counties, for the ex-
animation, of young children
in preparation for their admis-
sion to school in the fall.
These summer round-ups" as
they are popularity called will
be joint affairs also. They
will be, conducted under the
auspices of the State Bureau of
Child Hygiene, the County De-
partments of Health, the Coun-
ty Superintendent of Schools,
assisted by the parent-teacher
associations and other organi-
cations. Their aim is to have
the parents of all young child

such examinations by their
own physicians, preferably, or,
if that cannot be arranged, at
the child health conferences, so
that conditions in need of cor
rection can be discovered, and
attended to, before the children
enter school.

Boys and Girls-are planning
for appropriate celebrations;
other groups have begun the
study of community child
health needs; and in many of
