SHOES A NECESSARY EVIL


 What kind of shoes do you rec ommend for fourteen months old girl who has good feet and legs and is beginning to walk? inquires a mother.
 No shoes at all, replies OF Doc Brady.
 Now, and for the rest of her life, shoes should be regarded as an evil made necessary by civilization and custom.
 The health, strength and beauty of the feet are best preserved by go- ing barefoot, or as nearly barefoot as conditions will permit, now and always.
 When foot covering is necessary to protect the feet the more closely it follows the soft moccasin type the better.
 No stiffening whatever should be used in the footwear of children un- der five years of age.
 No heels should be permitted on shoes worn by girls under twelve years of age.
 Every child, for that matter every adult should go barefoot or wear only soft moccaSins or unrestraining sandals whenever and wherever this is reasonably possible.
 am not advising anybody to make a monkey or nuisance of himself. But there are many occasions and circumstances when one may enjoy going barefoot. For instance, when working in ones own garden. People who have tried this often become quite enthusiastic about the benefits of it. Le'me see, wasn't there a craze back in the nineties for walk ing barefoot on the dew-covered grass night and morning-the Kneipp cure?
 Aggressiveness of the shoes sales men has made many customers be- lieve the upport of shoes is essen- tial to preserve the arches or some such popycock. From this silly mo- tion it is an easy step to the idea that arch props are necessary to prevent falling arches. The truth is that rigid or stiff support of any kind tends to break down the arches and produce fiat feet.

Style Chats
BY AUDREY AMES United Press Staff Correspondent

Paris,-CUP)-Patch pockets are slipping lower and lower. In the first summer shoWings they had slipped so far that they were planted on the "tummy" of Molly neux beach play suit. And now in order to have your pocket in the smartest position you must sew 1t on the right knee of your beach pajamas.
 Vera Borea is the originator of the amusing idea. She uses it with special dash on sofhe blue crash beach trousers which look for all the world like overalls. The pocket looks like nothing more aristocratic than big patch on the knee. Out of it sprouts a gay orange cotton handkerchief; and falling half way to the pocketed knees is a sloppy" Normandy peasant blouse made of the same blue crash. The blouse really Smock variation-may be used separately to slip over bath ing suit before and after the plunge.
 If you want your beach pajamas little gayer you'll make them of red and white candy-stripped h. dian head cotton, with the stripes running vertically on the wide slacks and horizontally on the short-sleeved top. Put a patch pocket on the knee; blue corselet belt (fastened by three nickel buckles) around the waist; and there you have a model which will dcubtlessly parade the Riviera.
 The knitters and makers-overs found the Borea collection full of fine ideas. If you happen to have sweater with Worn-out elbows, spotted front or unravelled collar you have the makings for stun ming sport dress. Make it of natural colored shantung with plain skirt; make the blouse of the same but be sure to have the back-and only the back-of the knit boucle. Fasten the front with five-dollar- size bone buttons, and insert a wide elastic at the waist line to give the new and becoming bloused effect.
 And another excellent way of utilizing sections of knit wear is to insert wide girdle or corselet into the waist of a linen or shantung dress. One such knit belt was of 6or-8-inch width inserted in rust linen playsuit; another joined the blouse and trousers of one-piece white crash beach pajamas.

STRAND

Performances tonight at Warner Brothers coZy, clean and comfort able Strand theater conclude the engagements of "Merrily We Live" co-starring Constance Bennett and Brian Ahern; also "Of Human Haerts" starring Walter Huston and James Stewart.
 TomorroWs new show at the Strand is headlined by that slap stick comedy Bringing Up Baby" starring Katherine Hepburn, who reveals her talent as a comedienne, with Cary Grant, of Topper" fame
 Backed by an excellent support ing cast headed by Charles Ruggles and May Robson, Hepburn and Grant really "go to town" in this outstanding laugh show which you just can't afford to miss.
 The story is based on the go- geter activities of Miss Hepburn, a madcap heircss with remarka- ble propensity for creating trouble. Although Cary Grant is a studious professor, interested only in com- pleting a huge dinosaur skeleton and in promoting a million dollars to carry on the work of his mu- scum, Miss Hepburn decides she wants him. His fate is sealed from that moment, especially when she discovers he intends to marry his unattractive secretary.
 Virtually Kidnapping Grant to help her hide a tame leopard her brother has sent from South America, she plunges the hapless professor into a maelstrom of ri- diculous adventures and unexpected situations that are said to make the picture the biggest piece of merriment of the season. The leopard is the Baby" of the title It and fiendish dog add plenty of feline and canine complications to the plot.
 The co-hit is "Tip-Off Girls" CO., starring Mary Carlisle and Lloyd Nolan and featuring Roscoe Karns and Larry Crabbe.

you every minute to tell him just how to think and what to do. He or she should learn to play leader to his own band, instead of always depending on your baton.
 Try, when possible, to encourage the children to do as many things for themselves as they can. Once again must suggest the old recipe. Let them dress Themselves, choose what they should wear, help with the work, and invent as they play"
 I believe that self reliance comes with knowledge, as well as habit. The more things child knows HOW to do, the greater his thinking and his conduct. The unSure child will have more faith in doing things he has thought out for himself than in automatically duplicating the diffl- cult (often too difficulD standards of others.

 Child specialists write SELF RELIANCE in big letters across their sky. Self reliance without self pity; self reliance without asking for sympathy, without ex- pecting a cushion to catch 1t when it falls.
 The Independent Child
 Now suppose you have in your family, dear mother, one child who thinks he knows better than you do. Not all children will concede your supremacy, you know. This one, let us suppose, does use pretty good judgment, even when he breaks a rule. He climbs the tree to rescue a kite; he slides down the banister rather than risk marking the new stair paint, does other trying things. Yet this same child, punished per- haps for his infractions, may be the one to pick up the hurt dog and carry him to the veterinary's when nobody else will touch him, get up and get his breakfast if you are ill, mother, and insist on the grocer giving him the biggest of the eggs in the basket. He has moral cour- age, and shortcuts are only his means to an end. He thinks his judgment is good, and relies on it.
 kncOurge Self Help
 On the other hand, the very son and daughter you praise to your friends as being so tractable and good, may be lacking in many of the qualities of self reliance. They may expect too much help, and depend on your ideas and sugges- tions. You hug this to your heart and love to think they need you. Natural, of course.
 But no child should depend on

untreated rickets in childhood); and to loss of strength in the natural supporting muscles and fragments from lack of use-put an arm in a sling and 1t is certain to grow weak from lack of use. Put stiff shoes, rigid soles or insteps, arch props, or supports of any kind on the feet, and the feet are certain to become weak from lack of use.
 Going barefoot is the finest exer- else and insures the best develop ment of the feet. Wearing shoes or not wearing them has nothing whatever to do with the size, width or beauty of the feet except so far as improper footwear weakens and deforms the feet.

 When You Grow Too Old to Live
 Is a. woman of forty years too old to have her first baby? Gnterested)

The startling story of -Four Men and q Prayer" filmed in all its spectacular sweep opened this after noon at the Loew Poli theater.
 Its impressive dramatic power will keep viewers spellbound down to the final fadeout.
 The 20th Century Fox production has added an emotional dimension to the motion picture that defies description.
 Scenes speak volumes without a word menace stalks across the screen in a weird silence that rum bles in the heart, unheard by ear it's new and eerie effect, done by a marveloHsly assembled cast, di- rected by Ocademy Award winner John Ford.
 The theme is an inspiring de- parture from the usual saccharine movie affection. Four stalwart young men, with grand old sol- dier-father, are bound by gallant pledge to rove the world to avenge his dishonor and death.

George Rockefeller Back as Superintendent of Evan
 Jones, Stewart Reports

The Evans-Jones coal mine has resumed opera tions following the shutdown of several months due to the tragic explosion of last winter according to B. D. Stewart, Con- missioner of Mines, who returned to his headquarters here on the Alaska this morning.
 George E. Rockefeller, former Superintendent at the mine who is now a member of the National Coal Commission, has returned to the operations as Superintendent and Lester Williams, who has been with the Carbonate mine in Wash ington state, has been selected as Fire Boss About 30 men are on the workings and it will require about two weeks to make repairs and get the mine in. shape, the Commis- Sioner estimated.
 The stipulations as to safety meas ures set down by the Commissioner have been agreed to under the new operations, MT. Stewart said
 The government owned Eska mine, adjoining the Evans-Jones has between 30 and 40 men working and is supplying the Anchorage and Evans-Jones market until the latter gets back in production. Prior to the Eska getting in shape to meet the increased demand the Healy River Coal Corporation, owned by Capt A. E. Lathrop, stepped into the breech, the Commissioner said, and hired an additional crew of 60 men to step up it's output to supply Anchorage and other places in the rail belt usually supplied by the Evans Jones.
 "The Healy River management not only met the market demand 7 MT. Stewart said, but agreed to withdraw from that field when the Eska was able to meet the require ments, which it has done following notice"
 Mrs. Stewart accompanied her husband to the Westward and they visited with MT. Stewards son and family in Anchorage.
