the makers Of health shoes have
learned how to sugar coat the pill.
Their scientifically constructed,
health-giving shoes are modishly
styled. They look like Paris and
feel like boudoir slippers.
When you have discovered the
last that gives you the greatest
comfort and keeps your foot tire
less and vital, always select it,
whatever style shoe you buy. You
can obtain sports, dress or evening
shoes in the same individual last,
and your feet will be healthier
and yC1r posture better.
If you're a business girl, you
may or may not use your feet a
great deal during the day. But
if you're housewife, you proba.
bly, take thousands Of steps a day
just in the course of normal activi'
ty. Don't count them; it will
scare you. But think of this:
Thousands Of step taken in the
wrong kind of shoes are bound to
have harmful effects on your feet.
your figure, your disposition. even
your face.
Don't take these steps in soft
slippers that give no support, or
in an old broken-down pair of
shoes with rundown heels.
You may not realize what's
causing it, but you'll find yourself
tired all the time. with pains in
the backs of your legs, an aching
back, and tired lines in your face.
You'll find the body readjuSting
itself to carry its tired weight, and
when those shoulders sag and that
abdomen comes out-there goes
your figure!
So let's look at your shoes. Are
they snug in the heel, allowing no
play? Are they roomy at the toes,
with a half-inch between them and
the end Of the shoe for exercise
while you walk?
Does the arch Of the shoe come
where your arch is. and hold it
firmly and Supportingly? Are
your shoes large enough? And
does the last fit the shape of
your foot?
You may still need a new girdle.
But how about. a new pair Of shoes?

MANIAC SLAIN
BY TROOPERS

MuLBURY, Mass, June 8
I.N.S0. Trapped between two
houses by State troopers who had
sought him in the woods for nearly
go hours, Homer Robbins, 81, giant
maniac, today was killed by a
fusillade of bullets after he had
engaged in a duel with his pur.
suers and shot one policeman.
He had been sought since Sun
day, when he fired on a trooper
who went to his Sutton farm homo
to capture him. More than so
heavily-armed troopers had tracked
him through the woods Of Sutton
and Millbury before he was forced
into the open by hunger.
Less than IL hours before he
was killed, his 60-year-old mother,
Mrs. P. Orrien Putnam, had gone
into the woods alone in a dramatic
effort to bring him out unframed.
Notified Of her sons death,
Mrs. Putnam Sobbed:
'T'm not surprised It ended
that way, but / can't believe it
was necessary. If they had only
let me talk to him before they
forced him to flee from the
house last Sunday I could have
persuaded him to return to the
worcester State Hospital"
Robbins escaped from WorceS-
ter State Hospital last week and
sought sanctuary at his mothers
home. He escaped a Gordon of
State police who soon surrounded
the home and fled into nearby
woods from which he made re-
peated forayS for food.

Senator Says Structure
Could Be Made Memorial
to Jefferson.

Senator McCarran, Democrat, Of
Nevada joined today in urging that at
tention be given to Washington's need
for large public stadium, at the same
time reviving the suggestion that it
could be made an appropriate Thomas
Jefferson memorial.
The Nevadan expressed his renewed
interest in the stadium project in
commenting on the suggestion Of Sen
ator Thomas, Democrat, of Oklahoma
a few days ago that q committee Of
loyal civic groups be formed to work
Tor the accomplishment of the long
discussed stadium need. Senator
Thomas did not link the stadium with
plans for the Jefferson memorial.
Senator McCarran said there Is no
doubt the Capital City should have a
structure in which important national
events could be held, and added that
1T should be second to none" He
also reiterated his belief it could be
so designed as to constitute q fitting
memorial to Thomas Jefferson.
Meanwhile, the status of the Jeffer-
son memorial plans originally designed
Tor the Tidal Basin, in a line with the
White House and Washington Monu.
ment, await developments at the COM
ing session Of Congress When con-
troversy developed over the Tidal
Basin site the last regular session of
Congress failed to make the initial
appropriation to start the project.
1t IS probable that soon after Con-
gress reconvenes the members of the
Memorial Commission will confer to
decide what further steps should be
taken at this time. The Jefferson
memorial plans as they now stand
bear no relation to the stadium project.

because of the failure of the Chest

Mr.. Gorrell also pointed out in his
report that funds must be denied the

employment of seven badly needed ad-
ditional nurses.
Based on pledges, ALLEGATIONS OF
$4,000 to family agencies and $276,-
466.72 to hospitals were made. It was
pointed out that character building
agencies such as boys clubs, Scouts,
settlements, etc., will be handicapped
because Of the shortage Of funds.
Randolph Bishop, campaign direc-
tor, declared that more than 5000 con-
tributions amounting to close to $780,
