Worn-Out
Shoes Make
Feet Spread
BY IDA JEAN KAN

ONE OF the most amusing
incidents recounted by my
friend Pvt. Marion Hargrove has
10 do with shoes for his ward
robe.
The supply clerk called out
size 10la for the private. But"
he protested. I wear a size g."
And the retort was, you say 9.
your foot says 10h. These shoes
are for walking-not to make
you look like Cinderella"
There's a moral for you. II
man can underestimate his shoe
size. how mitch easier ii Is for a
woman 10 cram her feet into
= shoes that are too small.
Another bad break for femi-
nine feet is the economical
streak which prompts a girl to
wear her WORKOUT shoes with
turnover heels. or even soft. nom
supporting bedroom slippers, for
homework, and 10 save her
good shoes for bridge. or the
movies.
Two Sires Larger
One woman who did that
wrote me TO this effect: In the
last two years my feet have got
ten two sizes larger! l know
this is due TO wearing improper
shoes around the house" She is
quite willing 10 exercise If that
will reduce her feet!
Foot exercise is fine. II won't
make feet smaller but il will
help 10 overcome the damage
caused by wearing improper
shoes.
Spike heels are also tied up
with trouble. The way you have
TO get around these days, you'll
find out that too high heels can
even make your back ache.
The shoe manufacturers and
stores are doing their best to
sell you on the idea of a more
sensible elevation.
But don't make a sudden shift
from 31a- Inch spikes to flats.
First. go down to a military
heel. Otherwise, the sudden drop
will make your leg muscles ache
so that you'll think low heels
are not for you.
Watch Your Heels
Take care of your shoes, espe-
cially the heels. If your heels
are constantly wearing off at
the edge. it may be that you are
not walking correctly.
Point your toes straight ahead
in walking and standing. Toe
ing out not only wrecks your
shoes but weakens ankles and
arches.
Contrast baths are great
comfort. Stick your feet under
bathtub faucet and turn on the
warm (almost hot water. then.
the cold. Keep alternating. This
Stirs up the circulation. Dry
thoroughly and lie down with
feet elevated on stack of pill
laws for 10 to Is minutes.
You need foot exercises. One
Of the best is to work the bare
foot over tennis ball, or some
other small. soft ball. Do this
for two TO three minutes.
And kick off your shoes and
walk about the room pigeon
toed, with weight on outer bor-
ders. A little footwork goes a
long way toward better mileage.

Soup Meat

JACK SPRATTS wives are
periodically appearing to clean
up meat platters. They've
learned that bone marrow and
meat fats give flavor for GRAVES,
stews, and soup stocks, while
bones add full bodied flavor and
substance TO a pot of soup.

In Our Stores

Fifth Avenue. being close to
the manufacturing center and
also headquarters for many of
the famous designers, does dis
play some lovely styles, but so
far as we can see. every city has
its own fashion center.
Buyers in New York can have
their Stocks flown TO any city in
the time it takes TO change the

ACCORDING TO New York
ers, Fifth Avenue is the worlds
fashion parade ground.
AS you have heard, the Fifth
Avenue shopping center includes
shops of Park avenue and Fifty
seventh street, but visitors pay
more attention to Fifth Avenue.
We will report some of what we
cleaned on recent stroll.
Autumn, which so far this
year has been cold. has provided
a great variety OF warm suits.
small furs and luxurious looking
fur-trimmed coats.
Suits worn with the small furs
are slim in silhouette, they are
of wool and will he in colors or
black. The popular colors are
purple, plum, green and red.
There are plenty of tweeds,
too. These are in the conven-
tional, grays and mixed tones,
but bright colors and pastels are
favored by the younger set or
the very slim matronS.
Fur Scerfs
Small furs or neck scarfs are
a high style note Just now.
We used TO associate them
with nice old ladies who saved
them from the mauve era. These
were usually stiff one or two
skin scarfs and not flattering.
The new ones are softly
draped with the usual head and
tail finish, some are of only two
skins but many sport three or
four.
Suits may be buttoned TO the
neck. but the V front opening is
preferred. Large ornamental
buttons fasten the front of all
suits.
High Hats
The high crown felt or ante
lope hat is still the new head
line. but there is great variety
of other shapes. Those in fur are
bit smaller than the ponderous
fur hats of other years. Swiris
of coz feathers trim some of the
modified high crown shapes.
There will be lots of bright
puppies, majentas, green's and
red worn with suits and coats.
Wells are taking a rest. Those
we saw were in the way of trim
ming and sported large dots in
either black or colors. One COL
ored veil, over fitted purple
felt, was dotted with dime size
felt pieces in red, green, purple
and wine.

Phone Network
Will Replace
Afraid Stations

Greenbelt will not have air
raid stations, Town Manager
Braden announced at Mondays
Town Council meeting. The air
raid wardens have decided that
strategically located telephones
in call boxes, housed in garages,
will be sufficient to meet emer-
gency needs, Mr.. Braden said.
These phones will be on a separ-
ate circuit from the regular tele-
phone system, and will operate
when ordinary power facilities
fail. This system of afraid COM
munications will cost the town
$3.50 per month.
Mr.. Braden informed the Coun-
Gil that although no purchase OF
fire hose and a pump for the
auxiliary water supply had been
made it was expected that they
would be secured within a short
time when prices on these articles
had been received.

Jr., in issuing the financial re-
port disclosed that collections of
garbage assessments were defin-
itely behind the last years tax
income when personal property
taxes were levied. Mr.. Rabbit
also reported an available surplus
of $2,994.54 as of December 81,
1941. Total expenditures and en-
cumbrances for the year were
$94,045.4O, with the Hospital and
the Department of Public Safety
deriving the greatest expenditures
for personal services.
A new ordinance regulating the
use of the Greenbelt Cemetery
and setting the prices for burial
plots was presented to the Council
for first reading. Prices would
range from $40 to $75. The pro
posed regulation would prohibit
erection of tombstones or markers
above the ground level.

Total BlaCkOut
Is Total Success

With the sounding of the alert
at $3.50 p. m. Tuesday, the people
of Greenbelt tried out their first
total blackout.
The auxiliaries went to their
posts and efficiently swung into ac-
ton when the red signal was given.
There were no stragglers and
the blackout was complete until
the all-clear at 1851.
A. R. P. Chief George Pana-
goulis expressed appreciation at
the 100 per cent cooperation shown
by everyone. However, he voiced
the suggestion that lights need
not be turned off at the one long
blast of the horn, which is merely
an alert signal and not raid
warning. A blast of the horn Is
also sounded to call the auxiliary
firemen to their stations. Lights
must be turned off only at the
series of short blasts of the 81
rens.

Approximately one and a half
tons of paper and metal were
gathered by temporary crew who
worked from five to eight Mon
day evening under Salvage Com
mittee Chief Arthur Gawthrop.
Mr.. Gawthrop expressed his ap-
probation of his crews work and
offered a special note of thanks
to the neighborhood children who
unsparingly helped gather mater
ials for the collection crew. "The
residents cooperated wonderfully"
he stated.
Suggestion: Please tie or weigh
down all papers and metals so that
they will be easier to collect. Place
all bundles in driveway near 80
p. m. on Monday (don't place them
out in the morning as they are
bound to scatter or be taken by
someone besides Greenbelt's Sal
wage Committee).
Plans are being formulated for
successive cleanup drives and
volunteers are requested to con-

of persons willing and able to

No yearly passes will be issued
this year for use of the swimming
pool, Mr.. Braden said, since chem
icals can be purchased only fol

possibility that the pool will only
be open one month. Monthly pass
es will probably be issued, said
Mr.. Braden, in addition to the reg
ular ticket strips.
