If you are travelling along the
beauty road on spiked heels, you
won't get far More likely you will
be backing up, acquiring beauty
ills of which you never dreamed.
Because if you have hurty feet
you will develop frowns Your back
will be out where it should be in
at the Wastline-you will not have
a nice flat tllnmy. If your ankles
are neat they'll get hulky, due to
muscle strain. That, my friend,
will be nice kettle of fish.
High heels are gay looking with
evening dry goods, and they will
not half kill you either, if you
wear them for only for the festive
party. At other times, come down
to earth Summer models show
cute tricks with low heels. You will
find all kinds of heels, high, low
and medium. Shoe manufacturers

fered spikes because the women
wanted them, the dear sillies.
FEET NEED ROOM
Men and children wear sensi-
BILE shoes. The sole of the shoe is
as wide as the sole of the foot,
providing a firm hold on floor
pavement WomelEs sports shoes
are more comfortable than the
little STRAPPED castings with which
the frail sex dances through the
evening.
AS for those square-toed models
don't let yourself get a size that
does not allow plenty of toe room.
There should be half am inch OF
space between the pink toes and
the prov of the boot. Straps
should be so Well-fitted that the
toes cannot push forward. They do
that when spikes are worn be-
cause one is practically walking
on ones toes. 1t is a practice that

weltS with mineral oil, friction with

way women abuse their feet is

NARROW LAST HARMFUL
The narrow last is harmful be-

half million gallons of water we're

the United States Engineers Office,
under whose direction an emergency

After repeated failures the break
was closed by men who forced an
open-gate valve over it, then closed
the valve. Mr.. Mcmillan said that
If the effort had been unsuccessful
the entire section of 9-foot pipe
would have required emptying for
repair and downtown Washington
would have been placed on water

The accident occurred during

job of fighting the Japanese-is the
lethargic state into which Chinese
so easily fall. 1t is traditional. This
is the attitude that, after all the
years of absorbing other invaders
into the population, the japanese
can be absorbed just as we'll.
Fighting Attitude.
The generalissimo and his staff
are fighting this attitude of slug
gishness. Speeding an organized
nation such as the United States
into war preparation is difficult
enough-as seen in recent months.
But sticking pin into 400, 900 900
Chinese who have known no national
spirit or national unity and sud-
denly expecting 100 per cent effici-
ency, even after three-and -one- half
years Of fighting, is too much to hope
for.
That is one of the messages
Laughlin Currie, presidential eco
nomic investigator, took back to the
White House recently; that is why
the United States is patiently striv-
ing to help China; that is why Dr.
Quo is returning from London to
give the people at home a new slant
on the wars abroad and how China
can help.
The Burma road reorganization is
being used in China today as the
symbol of the creation of a more
efficient and more effective fighting
machine to be geared into the Anglo
Dutch land perhaps American"
fighting machine in the Far East.

The rainfall Of last night and
early today afforded some relief"
but was insufficient to remove the
threat of considerable damage to
crops in nearby Maryland and Vir-
ginia, Charles E. Burkhead, crop
statistician of the Agriculture De-
partment at the University of Mary
land, said today.
At least an inch OF rain is needed
to minimize the effects of the long
dry period which has left It's mark
on hay, pastures and soil, he ex-
planned.
During April there was only IS per
cent of the normal rainfall, though
Mr.. Burkhead said this is not un-
usual for long dry period. Rain
fall in the nearby areas averaged
between L to l inch on April /;
40 to 80 of an inch on April 2;
IL inches on April and 40 to 80
of an inch on April "a.
Mr.. Burkhead said that so far
Montgomery County has suffered
more than Prince Georges from the
dl ought in that its pastures have
failed to advance in growth and the
ground has become almost too hard
for corn planting.
Prince Georges County tobacco
producers have been hard hit by the
lack of rain. Their 1910 crop has
become so brittle it is difficult to
ship to the markets. Unless rain
comes reasonably soon, farmers will
also encounter difficulty in planting
their 1941 leaf, Mr.. Burkhead said
Mr.. Burkhead said both alfalfa
and clover in nearby Maryland have
suffered, some of it already having
turned yellow.

By ROYAL ARCH GUNNISoN,

BY ROYAL ARCH GUNNISON,
Correspondence of The Star and Ma Ma
HONOLULU, May O. China's
Burma road, subject of much recent
romantic writing, is reported by one,
who has just passed over it, to be
in such a condition of bad repair
as to make it virtually impossible
to keep the flow of vital military
supplies pouring into China 1t is
hoped to get it working before the
monsoon rains set in.
Furthermore, this correspondent
learns that here at the crossroads
of the Pacific are hundreds of
American-made trucks stalled and
in bitches along the road because
there are no mechanics on hand to
repair them or who are capable OF
servicing them.
This demoralized condition along
the 726-mile road from Burma to
Running. and nearly an equal dis
tance into Chungking, is not due,
however, to any efforts by japanese
bombers or sabotage by anti
Chungking Chinese. as is sometimes
claimed by Toxic Rather, the slow
down in transport of supplies over
this famous military road and the
state of disrepair have resulted from
complete breakdown In the roads
administrative system.
Thankless, Gigantic Task.
''It is a thankless and gigantic
task to keep trucks rolling and the
thousands of coolie laborers neces-
sary for the job constantly repairing
what amounts to class D back
country road in the United States"
this correspondent was told by an
informant who has lived
in China for years.
In interior China, where the motor
truck still is a novelty, and where
old political systems Of squeeze"
and pass -the-buck economic policy
still have not been overcome, this
was not unexpected.
When this correspondent was in
;ide China at Chungking - last
autumn he heard discussions of the
problems of the road. But
even then, when the road was just
opening after its three-month shut
iown, realistic Chinese wondered
now long it would function smoothly
lnder the direction of the Chinese
themselves.
1t was felt by the administrators
Of the road that any kind Of
promises to the drivers, to the
merchants and to the
firms were WORTH

into China. No attempt was made
to establish a firm, hard-handed,
highly organized system at first The
material was needed. Get it in at

Coast, he will talk with Ambassador
Halifax in Chicago.
Mr.. Menzies arrived in this coun-

Netherlands Indies, Singapore, North

Asked if England is satisfied with
