Buy Shoes With Care

Here are S points you will do
well to follow as you buy shoes.
You will have comfortable feet as
result.
|. Be sure tht shoe is long emo
ugh. There should be one-half
inch space between the end of the
big toe and the end of the shoe
inside. Measure your foot in both
a standing and a relaxed position
and buy shoes no more than one
fourth inch narrower than your
foot.
2. The inner line of the shoe
should be as straight as possible SO
the toes can lie in a straight line.
3. The joint of the ball of the
foot should rest at the widest part
OF. the sole. This will help the foot
act as a weight distributor and
support for your body.
4. Allow plenty of room for
the toes to avoid corns and bum
ions and prevent ttoces of shoes
and hose from wearing out.
5. Be sure the shank Of the shoe
fits snugly under the arch Of he
foot.
Avoid feathers that are nom
porus. They prevent evaporation
and sometimes irritate the foot.
A shoe should be low cut a~o-
und the ankle to allow for free
movement and good circulation,
but should fit up well around the
heel so it will not slip.
A broad heel not over one and a
half inches high is the best sup
port for the natural heel of the
foot. Select for general wear
Higher heels may be wora for
social occasions. However, high
heel for general wear eventually
destroys the natural poise Of the
body.

GUS case which has been brought
before it since the Rio treaty

effort to terminate three years of
plotting and conspiracy in the
Caribbean area.

pact. the American states can ap-
ply diplomatic and economic pres
sure. and even the use of armed
force. to maintain peace in the
hemisphere.
1t ordered Cuba and Guatemala

break up armed bands such as
the so-called Caribbean Legion"
which it said conspire to under
mine the security of other ma
tions.
Case Brought by Haiti.
The case was brought before
the organization by Haiti, which
charged that Dominican officials
had backed an unsuccessful at
tempt to overthrow the Haitian
government last December.
The Dominican Republic brought
counter-charges against Cuba
Guatemala and Haiti, claiming
they were involved in plots aimed
at upsetting the government OF
Dominican President Rafael Tru-
jillo.
The OAS council cleared Haiti
of the charges, but asked all four
nations to avoid any systematic
hostile propaganda against each
other or any other country.
