DR: MAYO ASSERTS
Cause Women to Have
Smaller Calves, Says
Famous Physician
THE OLD HOME TOWri
LOS ANGELES, Apr. 27. (AP)
Women are sacrificing the shape
of their legs on an altar of high
heels, in the opinion of Dr. Charles
Mayo, famous surgeon and a mem
ber of the clinic bearing his fam
ily name at Rochester, Minn. Dr.
Majo is here on a racation.
"Ladies' legs are really an in
teresting study nowadays," he
said today. "They're losing their
calves. Why, these high heeled
shoes they're wearing are chang
1ns completely the shape of thier
legs.
"You know, after watching
them walking on their high heels,
1 made an experimeat some time
ago. I took several thinck cork
blocks and strapped them under
my own heels and tried walking
on them like the ladies do.
""And I found that it made ray
calves absolutely useless. In oth
er words, the ladies, by using high
heeled shoes, are generally atro
phying their calves, and you can
for yourself what it's doing to
their legs."
Women also are getting shorter,
according to the doctor.
"They ride In automobiles too
much," he explained. "So, not
walking, they get shorter, and be
cause they're getting shorter, and
they're wearing higher heels so
they can walk beside their men.
And the higher the heels the more
unshapely their legs get."

Measure Expected to be For
warded to President Early
Next Week
WASHINGTON. Apr. 27 (AP)
The Mississippi river flood con
trol bill in practically the same
form that it passed the house will
be sent to President Coolidge,
probably next week.
The measure was ordered sent
to conference today by the senate
after its author. Senator Joues.
republican, Washington, had re
ceived a memorandum prepared
by army engineers and transmit
ted by President Coolidge outlin
ing eleven objections to the mea
sure as amended by the house.
Five of these related to pro
visions of the bill which are not in
controversy between th two
houses and consequently cannot
be considered. Of the remaining
U. only two are regarded as of
prime importance. One was tenta
tively agreed to by the senate
conferees in an informal confer
ence. while the other was reject
-d tentatively.
A majority of the senate con
ferees are prepared to accept the
houfe amendment under which
the federal government would be
required to provide flowage
rights that is pay sums to be
agreed upon to owners of the
lands for destructive flood wat
ers that will pass by reason of di
version from the main channel
of the Mississippi and would con
trol, confine and regulate such
diversions.
The amendment was objected
to by the administration as it in-
by the gale which struck that sec
tion. Two persons were Injured and
more than $60,000 damage. caused
by a storm which struck Jackson,
Miss., last night.

volved besides the purchase of
easement rights from the property
holders, the construction of le
vees and revements to control the
floods in the low lands of Arkan
sas, Mississippi and Louisiana.
The change proposed by the ad
ministration, and which the sen
ate conferees tentatively accepted
relates to the section making
available 510,000.000 of the pro
posed $325,000,000 fund for use
in prosecuting work heretofore
authorized and not included in the
new project. That includes levee
work on the Mississippi river be
tween Kock Island, 111., and Cape
Girardeau, Missouri, and on the
outlets and tributaries of the
Mississippi insofar as such outlets
or tributaries are affected by the
backwaters of the Mississippi.
The house proposed that for
such work on the tributaries, right
of way and 331 per cent of the
cost of this work should be paid
for by the states or leve districts
affected. The president insisted
that rights of way and one third
of the cost of the work on the
main stream between Rock Is
land and Cape Giradeau should
be provided for by the states or
levee districts.To that the senate
conferees tentatively agreed.
Mr. Coolidge still is convinced
that the amended Jones measure
wouia cosi tne government as
much as a billion and a half dol
lars. This appears to him all the
more excessive since according to
his best advices it would be ex-
pendedfor works which, if done
economically, should not cost
more than $3000,000.000.

SAX FRANCISCO. April 27.
(AP). Interested lumbermen
said today that negotiations for:
forming the Pacific-Atlantic-Lum-
ber corporation lor purchase of
Pacific coafit lumber designed fori
the Atlantic coast, probably will
be completed within two weeks.
The entire output of four big lum
ber manufacturing concerns
would be handled.
The companies interested are
Sudden and Christenson. Charles
Nelson company, Tacoma Lumber
company of Tacoma and Charles
R. McCormick Lumber company.
Lubermen said the proposed cor
poration would be an independent
concern, with etock owned by
men in the organizing companies,
and would be operated to reduce
overhead in shipping lumber east.
Three of the companies negoti
ating own or control 28 vessels
the Tacoma company has none
which would be used to carry lum
ber to New York. Philadelphia,
Boston and other large eastern
ports. Supportere of the plan
said economies could be effected
by sending all vessels with full
cargoes, and by consolidating
eastern offices.
Lumbermen here said organiz
ation of the new corporation
awaited decision of the Tacoma
porate under th laws of peleware
company. They expect to incor
and issue 10.00e shares of stock
with no par value.
WASHINGTON, Apr. 27 (AP)
Martin B. Madden, of Illinois
one of the republican leaders in
congress and a power In the house
of representatives was stricken
with an acute heart attack today
and died a few minutes later.
The end came as he sat at his
desk in his capitol office, talking
with a colleague. He suddenly
placed his hand over his heart
and sank down In his chair. He
was removed to a couch in the
romm and despite efforts to re
vive him he passed away without
regaining consciousness.
Up to the moment of his death
Mr. Madden had been in a cherry
mood. He had received a number
of callers, including Rep. Tilson
of Connecticut, the house republi
can leader.
Word of Mr. Madden's death
spread rapidly about the house
and within a few, minutes, the
house. In whose stormy legisla
tive battles he had participated
for 23 years, adjuorned out of re
spect for the "chief," as he was
called by many of his friends.
There was silence in the chain
i . ,
uer as me announcement was
made and members seemed stun
ned at the news, that the white
haired chairman of the house ap
propiiations committee, for whom
all had deep admiration and re-
pect, had passed
ranks.
Mr. Madden was 7 3years of
age and was serving his twelfth
continuous term as a representa
tive from the first Chicago con
gressional district. He is survived
by his widow and one daughter,
Mrs. Paul Henderson, wife of a
former assistant postmaster gen
eral. Mr. Madden's body was taken to
his Washington home where it
will remain until Sunday. Then
it will be brought back to the
capitol to lie in state between the
hours of noon and 2 p. m. in the
chamber of the house. It will be
placed on a train for Chicago
where on Monday afternoon fun
eral services will be held at his
home at Hinsdale, a Chicago
suburb.
towns reported high winds and
heavy rains.
Rivers of southern Georgia, al
ready out of their banks with last
Sunday's torrential rainfall, re
ceived new volumes of water and
many places reported record
stages.
Serious flood conditions were
forecast along the Apalachicola
and Choctawatchee rivers in north
western Florida because of new
floods piling up on the crest of the
deluge, which already has caused
tremendous damage to the upper
valleys.
The inhabitants of West afain-
bridge, Ga., on the Flint river,
were prepared to evacuate their
homes with the river seven feet
above flood stage and rising stead
ily. In the Choctawatchee river val
ley, Carryville, Fla., inundated by
the recent flood, and evacuated by
more than a thousand persons, was
menaced again, as was Westville
across th river, a village of sev
eral hundred population.
The highest flood stage ever
known was rushing down the
Withlacoochee river on the border
of Georgia and Florida. The stream
was endangering a stretch of the
Atlantic Coast line railway as well
as numerous highway bridges.
A house was blown through tel
egraph wires at Brooksville, Fla.,
King George Quotes
Word of King Solomon
LONDON (AP) Bits of wis
dom handed down by old King
Solomon were quoted by King
George in opening the new home
of Lloyd's underwriters' agents,
completed at a cost of $10,000,-
000.
"It was a very wise man." said
the king at the inaugural exer
cises, "who, nearly JJ.000 years
ago, said: 'Two are "better than
one, for if they fell the one will
life the other; but wo to him
that i alone when he falieth.' . . .
After referring to the romance
of the sea the king continued: "It
is the organized system of marine
insurance which has transformed
overseas trade from a daring and
hazardous to the orderly and
smoothly working exchange of
commodities on which modern
civilization depends."
