REPORT MADE

cine Fund Except in
Emergency Cases

The Henderson County Board
of Health, in monthly session last
night, heard a report by DR.. L.
w. Sumner, county physician,
and discussed matters of aid to
be extended through the health
office.
DR.. Sumner told the board that

as DR.. Summers assistant for ten
years and is well qualified for her
work.
DR.. Sumner reported to. the
board that he had been seeing
about 20 to rs patients daily in
the office, and that he had about
completed examinations of all
food handlers.
d After discussion as to the e2-
tent Of aid to be given by the Of
fee, the board passed a resolution
providing that any patients wish
ing to consult the county physi-

WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. (UP)
Majority Leader Robinson today

gram with minor notifications.
He accompanied this statement
with the personal suggestion that
the retirement age Of supreme
court justices be rs instead Of

Opponents Of President Roose-

house judiciary committee meet.
ing. That committee convened
with reports persisting that Chair
man Hatton Summers had split
with Roosevelt on the plan. The
atmosphere was tense but il was
announced that no vote would be
taken today.
A compromise on the program
including changes in the gen
eral judiciary but emitting the
proposed power to increase su-
preme court membership to as
many as Is justices-was dis
cussed by several senator's only
partly in sympathy with it.
The discussion was accompan-
led, however, by indications of
White House pressure on Capitol
Hill to have the program passed
in it's original form.
Confident assertions Of admin
istration leaders that the bill
would be passed by both houses
of congress were mistaken either
by compromise reports or by
claims of increasing opposition
strength.
Charles West, White House
contact men, and James Roose-
welt, eldest son Of the president,
declared after a check Of con-
gressional sentiment that eve
won't have real trouble with the
program in either house."
Lack of enthusiasm for the
program by Chairman Hatton w.
Summers, D., Tex, Of the house
judiciary committee, aroused
speculation on fate of the mea-
sure in that body. Despite pre-
ponderance Of Demo cratic
strength, the committee was re-
ported close to an even division
on the issue with Summers atti-
tude likely to be of great influ-
ence.
Summers committee met to
give the plan its first formal test
in congress. Opponents planned
to extend at the groups secret
session a drive already launched
in, the senate to split the bill and
force a separate vote on the pro-
posed enlargement of the supreme
court.

Roosevelt Would
Halt Congestion
tc'ontil.ued from Page one.)


This reasoning has it's appeal to
those of us who recall less centralized
days.
We liked old conditions better than
those we nave now.
The town I grew up in (then OF
about $4,000; nearly twice that now,
but yet no municipal colossus) was
healthier, pleasanter dwelling place
than our present whales.
Power Is The Magnet.
Washington over-grew itself because
of the over-growth of government
Other cities have over-grown them
selves because of their industries
phenomenally rapid expansion.
Why did they expand so fast?
Why, they had electric power, which
was not available out in the "sticks." :"
Workers concentrated where power
was to be had. Mass industry was
created.
President Roosevelt's notion is to
re-scatter it.
Apparently he does not think that
this will cause the big centers to
idwindle, but seemingly he does hope
to check their hypertrophy-i you
know what that means; according to
the dictionary, Excessive growth
Hypertrophy isn't healthy. It is a
disease.

Representatives
OF Scholl's Come
To City Friday

The man who has done more than
any American individual to help AM
erica regain it's feet (physically)-Dr.
VIM. M. Scholl, says that there is real
ly no foot that is too hard to fit-if
the shoes are of the proper type and
construction, and if modern, scientific
shoe-fitting methods are employed.
There is the long, thin type of foot;
the foot with painful bunion; crook
ed, overlapping tes; the short, stubby
foot; the weak foot or flat foot; the
foot that has corns or tender toes;
and there is the foot with the high
arch. When ordinary shoes are fitted
in the ordinary manner these feet do
present a shoe-fitting problem, but
such should not be the case, says this
world famous Foot Authority who pio-
neered foot health thirty-three years
ago.
In order to prove his point, DR..
Scholl has arranged to have his re-
presentatives direct from the Chicago
factory, visit Webbs Henderson Shoe
Store in order to conduct an all day
shoe-fitting demonstration and display
of DR.. Scholl's Scientific Shoes.
livery type, size, dllu Will \AAACAA
6 to 14-women's 2 IL to 13; widths
AAAA to EEE), shoes in proper sizes
for children and growing girls will be
included In all, there will be 622 fit
tings. Advance Fall and Winter styles
will also be shown. Fittings will be
by X-ray. Stepping on this device and
looking at your feet through the visor,
you can see through your shoe not
only the bones of your feet and their
position, but the tissues as well. Other
methods of scientific shoe fitting, per-
fected by DR.. Scholl, will also be
used.
DR.. Scholrs Shoes are designed on
the Straight Line Principle which pro-
vides even distribution of the body's
weight on all three weight-bearing
points of the foot. This eliminates the
possi. .ility of strain on muscles, ner-
YES, and ligaments. DR.. ScholPs shoe
fitting expert from the Chicago fac
tory will clearly demonstrate this
STRAIGHT Line Principle and other
features that are said to make DR.
Scholrs Shoes different.
