This rule concerns comfort, not
GOODNESS, and the minute you read
on. you will agree on its i'm
portance. 1t is the matter of keep
ing your feet in good shape. Feet
that hurt will ruin your pleasure,
your disposition, perhaps even your
health. This idea comes to us
from the beauty editor of Good
Housekeeping, who says that she's
been dwelling on the subject ever
since she went into a beauty shop
for a facial, and was somewhat
surprised by having her shoes re-
moved, her feet massaged and
treated first. The facial was so
much more successful after her
feet felt at ease. But to get to her
facts!
YOUR FACE TELLS
If your feet hurt it Is practically
impossible to look happy-or even
to look self-possessed. A senSi.
tive little toe is not, as you may
imagine, your own secret. 1t shows
in your whole bearing right up to
the expression in your eyes.
A painful arch sets your face in
lines of strain. Not only are hurt.
ing feet good wrinkle-makers but
they destroy the free buoyant
movement of your body, make you
walk awkwardly and make you
look peevish. So if you value your
good looks and want to keep in
step with beauty, take care OF
your feet, advises Ruth Murrin,
beauty editor of Good Housekeep.
ing. Here are five simple rules
she gives for foot health and
comfort:
FOLLOW THESE RULES
/. Wear shoes that fit well and
give your toes plenty of room
Don't wear shoes with extremely
pointed toes or extremely high
heels.
2. Be sure your stockings are
slightly longer than your feet
when you are standing. Many
women who buy well-fitted shoes
ruin their feet with Shortfooted
stockings.
3. Keep your shoes in good re-
pair. Never walk on rundown
heels.
4. Change your shoes at least
twice a day if you can, and slip
shoe forms into them when they
are not being worn.
S. Learn to carry yourself prop
erly. Bad posture is the CHIEF
cause of painful, ugly feet.

This Utopia has not been
reached by any of the readers who
have written in. Many find that
food bills run about $40 per
month and two young ladies had
the astounding bill Of $55 per
month.
WIDE RANGE
What makes this great differ
ence in food bills? The average
amount spent for food by the Gov
eminent worker in 1888 was $34.50
according to study made by eX-
perts that year. Certainly the
cost of food has not increased that
much in the past four years.
The difference may lie in the
amount of entertaining done. If
it is guest night two and three
nights a week, and special T-bone
steaks and roaStS are purchased
for the occasions, it is rather easy
for the bills to run up into money.
Another difference may lie in
the fact that foods requiring long
cooking are avoided in apartments.
Both husband and wife work in
many households and this means
that the more expensive quickly
prepared cuts of meat are chosen
each night for the evening meal.
When chops or steaks are on
the menu. the meat bill for the
meal may be 40 cents or more
each night.
INDIVIDUAL TASTES
Tastes vary so tremendously
that it is rather difficult to set
up standard dietaries and have
all families live happily on them.
This was shown very clearly
asst week when two girls were
discussing their menu problems.
One insisted that there must be
meat and fresh green salad each
hight. The other young lady
iked spaghetti, sweet rolls and
lore starchy foods. So it goes.
The first diet would probably
the most expensive one as
erchy foods are economy foods.

Beauty
Exercises for
The Legs
BY HELEN FOLLETT

Systematic exercise will rid over
plump legs of extra inches. Before
starting to reduce fatted calves,
take measurements. Then you'll
know what progress you are max
ing along the beauty road.
Walking won't help much unless
you are willing to step off five miles
a day at a brisk pace, and girls
won't do that.
Swimming, skating and running
prove effective, too.
Gym courses are recommended.
but the regular daily workout is
what does the business with speed.
Leg development comes through
lack of exercise and the accumula-
ton of fat cells. Strengthen mus
cles and all will be well. A simple
way of doing that is to dance on
the toes. Choose your own steps
and do them to music.
Try high kicking. Hop the length
of the room on one foot, hop back
on the other. Swing the right foot
in wide circle, then the left.
After 10 minutes, lie on the floor,
keep the legs rigid, bring up the
upper portion of the body without
using the hands as a means Of
support.
That's good for a lot Of other
things besides fat legs. Hips, thighs
and abdomen muscles are made
flexible.

However. the average apart
ment household may prefer the
former diet for very obvious
reasons. The salads are low in
calorieS, but provide the neces-
sary minerals and vitamins..
The salads are bulky and fill
ing and appealing on hot eve

would appeal to friend husband.
ONE SOLUTION
Many ways have been figured
out for dividing the total food
allowance for families.
One which 1 found last week
for the low income families
allowed one-fifth of the food
budget for milk, one-fifth for
meat, fish, eggs, cheese, and gela-
tin, one-fifth for cereals, one
fifth for vegetables and fruits,
and one-fifth for fats. sugar, bev-
erages, seasonings, etc. This may
give aid in certain cases.
On the budget of $35 each
month, this would allow ST for
each item for the month.
This is high starch diet for ST
is allowed each month for flour,
macaroni, spaghetti, assorted
cereals, breads and rice. Quite a
quantity of cereal and bread can
be purchased for ST! For the most
part. boxes of spaghetti and
cereals cost about 10 to Is cents
each and bread about 10 cents a
loaf.
/ Two people usually find that
packaged quantities OF this size
last for several days.
If cereal is on the menu for
breakfast daily and there is a
small child in the family who has
cooked cereal as a daily part OF
the dietary regime, then such an
expenditure is justified.
One household of two uses a
quart of milk daily. about three
dozen eggs each month (eight
each week. and about four pounds
of butter. This means that 81
includes all dairy products. Cheese
also is included in this classified
ton.
/ OTHER ITEMS
/ The meat bill, as suggested
above, instead of being ST is $12
This includes meals on Sunday
but only two meals daily through
the week. Lunch is not included
This means So each week for meat
This would average about 81 fol

cents each night for meat. Nc
bacon or ham for breakfast.
The ST each month for vege.
tables and fruits means about %
cents each day for this allowance.
When there is fresh orange juice
for breakfast and a salad and
cooked vegetable for dinner this
amount is questionable. Many
households must find their budget

ture runs more than this.
The ST for fats includes shorten
ing, salad dressing, sugar and both
hot and cold beverages.

bring back into their beings a higher

There can be no gainsaying that
the cost of living has been greatly in
creased in the past three years. This
increased cost of living has impressed
itself more seriously on those least
able to afford it, namely. the en-
ployes of the lower brackets.
"In drafting this bill and in fos-
tering this legislation. am not un-
mindful of the demand for increased
pay in the brackets above $500 per
annum, but the demand and necessity,
as well as the humanity involved in an
increase of the salaries of the lower
brackets under $500 is so apparent
and imperative that I deem it best
that the work should start there. If
we can accomplish this legislation, we
will bring about a great measure of
encouragement to labor generally
throughout the country, both in Fed
eral employment and private industry
as well. Moreover, we will demon

STADIUM MODEL
TO Be DISPLAYED
Projected Sports Center and
Armory to Be Exhibited
at Capitol.

A newly-completed model prolecA
ing layout of a Washington foot bal.
stadium seating 10000, a Nationa
Guard armory, auditorium, and in
door sports center and demonstration
field will be sent to Congress for dis
play in the Capitol rotunda immedi-
ately by Secretary Ickes, it was
learned today.
The total cost Of the project has
not been officially announced, al
though the Federal Government, offi-
cials said, owns practically all the
land needed for the development at
the end of East Capitol street and the
Anacostia River.
The model was prepared under d.
rection OF C. Marshall Finnan, su-
perintendent Of the National Capital
parks. with the assistance OF the
branch Of plans and design of the
National Park Service Malcolm Kirk
| patrick is resident landscape archi-
tect Of the branch and attached to
the Washington parks.
The Fine Arts Commission and the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission have given preliminary
consideration to this development
The foot ball stadium is planned on
scale that would care for crowds at
the Army and Navy game here and
other Nationwide functions 1t would
be the largest in the East.
At the western end OF the major
stadium would be East Capital street.
on the left would stand the audi
torium and exhibition hall, while on
the right would be the National Guard
Armory, long needed here Leading
to the buildings. as planned, would be
a memorial court and tribunal.
A terrace of granite steps would lead
down to the denomination and display
field. The swimming and tennis stadia
would be nearer the river, officials as
serted.
The United States engineer office
has long been working in that section
OF Anacostia Park, turning the erst-
while marsh land into park develop
ment. Fill has been placed in that
section to raise the grade and, under
the supervision of Finnan's office, the
groundwork has been laid for the
stadium project. 1t is known that
Secretary Ickes and Finnan are very
much interested in the stadium pro-
gram and plan to push it to compile
tion, il possible.
As yet, the parks organization has
no funds for commencing this de-
velopment, but hopes that Congress
will soon make money available for
launching the scheme. Congressional
authorization is likewise needed for
the plan.
