At least seven club batting

Selecting
'Boby's Shoes
By Josephine lowmon

n -
Did you have a baby last year?
II you did. you had lots of com.
pany because almost 4 million
children were born in the United
States during 1853. No doubt
you are finding that each month
brings its pleasures and prob
lens or decisions for you to make.
Now that your baby is walk
ing or soon will be, it is time
to start thinking about what no
should wear on those cute little
feet. A recent survey shows that
a whopping AZ per cent of school,
age children suffer from. weak
feet-a limp arch structure
which lays the foundation for
fatigue and aching. weary feet in
later years. Remember that these
same feet will have to carry your
child about for the rest of his
life.
Soft Leather
Most doctors believe it best to
put shoes on a child when he first
begins to stand. These serve a
double purpoSe-they protect the
feet against bumps and knocks
and they give the child firm
base from which to operate.
These first shoes should be Of
soft leather. both uppers and
soles, which will provide flexible
support without binding the
baby's feet. Once your pride
and joy" begins to walk, he
should have a pair of shoes with
a firm leather sole and a supple
leather upper. The sole should
be roughened in order to prevent
the child from slipping.
You are probably wondering
whether you should get high or
low shoes for your baby. Foot
specialists say it doesn't matter.
They say high shoes do not lend
additional support to the foot
and sometimes restrict the ankle
movements. However, high shoes
are not harmful and they are
easier to keep on the baby. II
your child seems to have abnor-
mally weak ankles these might
be helpful.
When He's Reody
Your baby will walk when he
is ready and able to do so. Many
parents make the mistake Of
urging their children to walk be-
fore they are capable of it. Usual
ly children begin to walk between
the ages of IL and 10 months.
If you push the baby in this mat
ter you encourage bowlegs and
may damage foot structure.

care of their children's feet. I

hats small, shoes high-buttoned,
