 Answering an inquiry recently the conductor of this column ad. vised that the longer the young in fant goes with only stockings oi socks or soft moccasins or sandals the better for the chlld's health and the development of the feet Tn other words the child should have no stif-soled or stuff-uppcr shoes until wear and tear on the bare feet make 6 some such protec- ton necessary.
 Such advise, e reader tell me when applied to an urban child iS little short of disastrous. It might be all right as Q country doctors advice to rural people, but the hardwood floors and concrete pave' ments in cities, the reader thinks are responsible for Q great deal oi foot trouble, falling arches, weak ankles, if children are not properly protectd by shoes that support tho arches.
 sThat notion is too commonly ac. cepted by parents, in city or coun' try. It is akin to popular fallacS that some sort of corset must bt applied to the growing girl in order to mold" her form or figure. Hap oily mothers who have had fail physical education no longer cher ish that quaint idea.
 Ordinarily shoes should be a' soft and free from rigidity or stiff ness as possible, with due regard for wear and protection agains rough or sharp surfaces, If an! prop, brace, support or other cor rective appliance is built in or worI with the shoes 1t should be only a prescribed by the physician ant worn under the physicians super vision.
 There can be no justification whatever for putting such appli ances, built in or not, on the feet o infants, growing children or adult without individual medical advic and care.

age, but the things In which wom- en are interested in their busy years continue to interest them after they are old and no longer 30 active.
 Take the well-fixed elderly wid- ows you know, for example. They like clothes and are just as good customers of the beauty shops as they ever were. Their white hair is waved smartly, their nails are lac- quered soft pink, and their skin shows that they still believe .n face cream.
 They like parties even better than they did in their younger days, when entertaining was something of chore on top of taking care of Q large family. And they love to be invited out because they have lots of time in which to get ready at 8 leisurely pace, and they have time to wonder about the party beforehand and think about 1t afterwards.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-07-16
AGE HEIGHTENS HER INTEREST

As for two of the average Ho- mans favorite forms of amuse- ment, community gossip and bridge, age doesn't dull her interest in either. Tn fact, age only heightens her interest in the former, since she has more time than ever to think about the comings, goings. doings, and carryings-on of other people.
 So the woman who has enough to live on and no pressing fear of future poverty usually enjoys her old age. If you don't believe it, get acquainted with a few and you'll find out.
 They enjoy their independence. their leisure, and their right to sit back and watch, without en- ", young people struggling to rear their families. VI
 But you can't say the same thing for old men. For the most part they are a rather forlorn lot. They are too old for the jobs that have taken up most of their time and interest in life. too old for the sports they once played ct so hard, and too old to find some new he terest to take their place.
 For all that women dread old age. they usually make better use of it, SO far as their own enjoy- ment Is conceEned. than dc men.

Fleming Spdnks Overtime Critics;
Says That Big Profits Bring 1nfldtion

Washington, D. C. - congressman
and businessmen who are yelping for
the extension of the work week and
complaining against the necessity of
paying overtime were given a sound
spanking by Administrator Philip B.
Fleming of the Wage and Hour Divi-
sion in a nationally broadcast ad-
dress.
Replying directly to Alfred P.
Sloan, Jr., chairman Of the General
Motors Corp, who claimed that pay
ment of eight hours overtime per
week would increase wage costs 8 per
cent and result in imitation, Col. Flem-
ing said:
"Mr. Sloan's opinion is important
because he is former president and
present chairman Of Americas eighth
largest corporation. His stewardship
of the stockholders interest has been
conducted so brilliantly that profits
have been fantastic. General Motors

payroll of 1886, 100000. And it shows
profits of $1S3,000,000. For every dol
