"WHAT IS A BARBARIAN?"
Recently a friend asked why we
did not have something to say about
high heels. According to bis notion,
they were the curse of the female
sex, bringing ruin both to health and
pocketbook. ;v "How .fine is it," he
said, "that the women who work in
the factories should have emanci
pated themselves from skirts and
adopted the safe and comfortable
overall. , And yet look at the Incon
sistency of continuing to wear high
heeled shoes with overalls!" We
agreed that there was something to
say on the subject and were just
about to say it when there came to
our attention an article in the "Rec
lamation Record," entitled "What Is
a Barbarian?" that covers the sub
ject better than we can. Here it is:
"Women are strange crea
tures, none more so than our
. own enlightened 'female of the
species' in the U. S. A. They
are horrified at the mention of '
Chinese foot-binding, through
which thousands of Chinese chil
dren have been crippled for
. life. They go into spasms of
self-righteousness when they
think of the benighted Chinese
woman who tamely submits to
the maiming of her baby girls;
tbey send missionaries, whose
duties include the correction of
such practices. Yet how many
of these same women calmly ac
cept a fashion which makes a
crutch of what should be a foot
covering, and not only force
their own feet into these ridicu
lous toothpick shoes, but allow,
and even insist, that their young
daughters thus imperil their
health.
"This is not a sermon. We
love to see a woman stylishly ap
pareled. But what is style? It
is the prevailing fashion, noth
. ing more nor less, and a sensible
shoe may be just as attractive as
any other.
"Children, .obeying their nat
ural instinct, toe straight ahead,
and are promptly taught to turn
their toes outward. Yet the'ln
dians, doubtless the world's
champion walkers, set their feet
one before the other, as though
following an invisible chalk line.
An inch a step is lost In walk
ing because of the fact that we
walk with our toes turned but.
Calculate the loss In time and
energy if we were to walk 10
miles a day.. Every girl has a
horror of being knock-kneed,
nevertheless most knock-knees
are encouraged by high heels
and toeing out. Walking is one
of the best of exercises, but
. walking cannot be beneficial if
the shoes prevent proper muscu- '
lar action.
"Ninety-five per cent of the
women in this country, experts
tell us, have foot trouble in
some form. We could not build '
a skyscraper at an angle of 45
degrees. How can we expect
the human body to properly do
Its work if maintained at such
an angle?
"Because of incorrect shoes,
few of our women walk grace
fully; they either waddle, hob
ble or teeter. The pointed-toe,
high-heeled shoe causes not only
minor torments, such as corns
and bunions, but it gives the
body only two points of contact
with the ground, one at the
heel and the other at the
bunched-up toes.
' "The health troubles,' due to
Improper footwear, decrease
economic efficiency probably on
an average of 25 per cent. The
American Museum of Safety
claims that 95 per cent of the
people in this country suffer
In one form or another from foot
troubles, which result In an in
efficiency of from 10 to 50 per
.cent in each case. The museum
strongly advised manufacturers
who have their own Interests at
heart, as well as those of their
employes') to compel employes

The Road Kojr.
I wonder what the road hog thinks, as ho goes
on his way, detested by all mortal ginks, and cussed
by night and day. He surely hates the human race,
as down the road he swings, and in his heart there
is no place for kindly, friendly things. We have
our little pewter carts, and we would sing and
smile, if road hogs didn't break our hearts each
quarter of a mile. The road hog loafs along, alas,
and when, we honk our horn, beseeching room
enough to pass, he grins with maudlin scorn.
Around the risky curves he flies, and thinks he's
in the swim; the rules that govern decent guys
have little weight with him. Sormj day the fool
will break his neck, but ere that day arrives, a
dozen autos he may wreck, or spoil a dozen lives.
And as I watch him drive his barge, and weave and
spurt and turn, I wonder why he is at large, when
there are jails to burn. I wonder why a man is
lined ten- dollars or ten days, for shooting road hogs
and their kind, along the public ways.
to wear correct shoes. This has
been carried out only In cases of
nurses and certain war workers.
"What can you do about it?
"What do you do when your
community needs any reform?
You go after it and yon get It,
too. There are 636 firms mak
ing women's and misses' shoes.
How many women's clubs are
there? The manufacturers will
make anything the public de
mands therefore, the public
must be educated to see the
beauty of the normal shoe, and
then demand it."
In Common Things.
A man must Invest himself near at
hand and In common things, and bt
content with a steady and moderate
return. If be would know the blessed
ness of a cheerful heart and the sweet
ness of a walk over the round earth.

Dealers' Gasoline
A wives !
. The first tank, car of Gasoline ordered by the Automo
bile Dealers, Accessory Shops, Service Stations and
Repair Men of this city through The Bend Automobile
Association arrived in Bend this morning and has been
distributed in proportionate quantities to all members
of the Association.
It may be -necessary to charge a price higher than the
market quotation. This is due to the cost of handling
same on special, order. It is not the intention of the
dealers to make a cent on this shipment, v but rather to
lessen .the burden imposed by the shortage. The , cost
to the dealers of this shipment will be approximately
37c per gallon and will be sold for 40c by all dealers.
We have previously felt that there has been some dis
crimination against this section by the Standard Oil
Company, but we are convinced now that such has not
been the case. W. R. Speck, local representative of
the Standard Oil Company, has done everything within
his power to cooperate with local dealers in the way of
lending his equipment for the distribution of this ship
ment of gasoline..
