Some of us remember the
pointed shoes of years ago. IT.
was these shoes that were re-
sponsible for the great number of
men and women today who have
unhappy feet. Our feet can
easily mean as much to us as our
head in earning a living and en-
joying life. We can only go as
far in life as our health will take
us and to have feet that hurt,
when on or off them, is great
handicap, great liability to
health and life.
We're as old as our feet feel
and if we feel old and unhappy
it is not likely because of the
shoes we are wearing at present
but those worn when we were
children.
According to the National Foot
Council News, the council is de-
termined that your children
should have healthier feet than
our forefatherS, for poor feet
mean poor posture, frequently
leading to headaches and other
pains, and age us faster than the
calendar" The National Foot
Council, therefore, decided to make
a survey of the opinions of chill
dren's specialists, skin specialists,
orthopedic physicians and chirop-
odists throughout the United
States as to just what children's
shoes should be like. Writing to
1000 of them, the council OBJ
tanned opinions regarding all
phases of children's footwear:
Shape, last, materials, Innings,
heels, toes, counters and other de-
tails of construction and design.
An advance report on the re-
suits of this survey is given by DR..
Joseph Lelyveld, the councils
chairman 1t gives the mother an
idea of what to look for and what
to avoid when purchasing shoes
for her children.
Fortunately, the shape and lasts

of children's shoes today are con-
sidered satisfactory by the above
mentioned specialists but many do
not like the materials from which
some of children's shoes are made.
They suggested that shoes should
be made of leather, instead of

they are used on soft ground and
for short periods only. They con-
sidered rubbers or overshoes OF

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine lowmon

Attention, men. Not long ago
when I wrote a column or so about
what men like and dislike in wom-
en- and what women like and dis
like in men, I asked the little
ladies to send in their ideas. So
If you want to get the lowdown,
just listen in today.
Here is one excerpt: "It seems
to be the concensus Of opinion
that it is the wife's full-time job
and duty to keep hubby home and
see that he is always perfectly
comfortable.
What has the average house,
wife been doing the eight hours
her husband has been working?
If she has at least one child !
believe she has had eight hours
of work equal to a mans. No
matter what wife goes through
during the day there must be no
unpleasantness when hubby ar
rives because he has a delicate
system.
Thank heavens I don't have
one of these delicate creatures for
a husband and mine works as hard
as any man. We both do our eight
hours work and then share what
is left. If I were married to one
of these delicate creatures I would
make a change Immediately. I
don't believe I will ever have to
plan to keep him at home because
he is real man and we share our
worries as well as our pleasures"
Here are statements taken from
other letters,
II dislike the fact that my hus-
band uses the coffee table for
footstool, scatters ashes every
where even though there are
plenty of ashtrays, leaves the bath
room in a mess, heaves papers on
the floor, never washes out the
tub"
"I have q good husband but
when he comes home at night all
he does is read or talk about his
business. I don't understand
plumbing and would like to 60 =
show once every six months any
way. He never mentions it,"
II would like to have my hus-
band plan some little gay surprise
times and ask me to go out with
him. The only social or outside
life we have I always have 10
plan"
II see no reason why woman
should have to pick up after big
grown man when she has all she
can do, and more. cleaning the
house and caring for the children.
Within Is minutes after my hus-
band returns, his things are all
over the house-and after he
"boyishly" romps with the chill
dren it is a complete mess which
he leaves entirely alone"
Men should be told that to be
satisfactorily loved they must be
lovable. that they cannot expect
their wives to have pent-up peeves
and resentments acquired because
of unfair and unkind treatment,
and then be satisfactory partners
in sex or companionship."
