The new plan was revealed in
the U. S. District Court for the
Eastern District of Tennessee be
fore Judge Leslie R. Darr when
NhACP attorneys for the teachers
and counsel for the school board
appeared to argue court jurisdic
ton.
In addition to the new salary
scale, the school board stated that
62 per cent of the $4,000 now in
the treasury marked for increases
in salaries for all teachers, will go
to Negro teachers.
The board also agreed to take
steps for complete equalization of
teachers salaries under the new
schedule, but stated that it will
take a little tine.'
Attorneys for the plaintiff would
not dismiss the case on such 9
promise, but had it placed on the
inactive calendar SO that it may be
called up again at any time. This
means that if the board does not
make good its promise the COM
plant may again be heard in court.
The teachers were represented by
w. Henry Elmore, of this city, and
Thurgood Marshall special coun-
sci of the NAACP.

Sensible Shoes
Are Now Worn At
Work and Play
By HELEN JAMESON


! distributed by King Features Syn
dicate, Inc.)
He was a chatty little shoe clerk
He had an observing mind ana a
keen eve. He had learned a lot
about women's ideas as to how they
should shod. For some of these ideas
he has little respect because he be-
lieves that vanity plays too large
a part in the selection of leather
castings.
The only small feet you see
these days are those of the old
girls" he said. "They retarded foot
development by wearing shoes that
not only interferred with muscle
health but caused. bone deformltles.
Chinese foot binding wasn't much
worse than the torture women en-
dured forty or fifty years ago. Wom-
en- were not athletic, so feet were
| not exercised. Feet must have been
| Just about good for nothing.
AVERAGE is 6 1-2
"The average size of shoe worn
by girls twenty years old mean
this years girls-is six and one-half
Many wear shoes much larger. In
grandmaw's days a four was So
cial disgrace. So, the bigger the
foot, the younger the woman these
days. 1 can't see any charm in
extremely small feet. They should
be in proportion with the weight
and measurement of the body. A
large woman toddling round with
her tootsies crar med into small
shoes is not al -.lluring sight. She
looks top heavy"
There you are The world is
better for femin le pedals than it
was in the days CT yore. All that re-
mains is to get the trotters on the
ground instead of having them
hoisted up on spiked heels with
bases the size of dime. Time is
with us in this campaign. More
sensible shoes are being sold every
year.
Chiropodists claim that the prop
er heel for house work, office work,
sports and, walking measures one
and one-fourth inches. Get out
your tape measure and see how you
stand. If you are house wife you
should wear OXfordS, wide of sole
with plenty of toe space If you hob
BILE around in discarded party shoes
that provide no proper support, you
are doing yourself an injustice. 1t
may be because of foot discomfort
that you find the domestic job
wearing and your disposition not as
sunny as it used to be.
! WEAR SENSIBLE SHOES
Chripodists make this concession;
if you wear sensible shoes during
the day they'll let you dance around
on high heels at night. Once a
woman enjoys foot comfort she'll
hate the sight of spikes.
Lazy women develop high arches,
too active women low arches. The
ideal arch is the medium one. What
about yours? What about your an
kles? The correctly formed one has
a graceful inward curve about one
inch above the ankle bone, then
does a gradual outward curve into
the calf of the leg. 1t isn't the
smallness of the ankle that counts
as much as the contour.
