WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 0 RATIONAL COMPROMISE Even those who have most strongly criticised the League of Nations plan now admit that some such machin ery is necessary, and must tie put into operation quickly, with enough power for effective action, if the world is not to be thrown into confusion and despair irom wnicn it would take vcars. possibly decades, to recover. A cencral realization of this danger has been at the bottom of the recent. resurgence of public sentiment in fav or of the peace treaty and the efforts made by United States senators to reach an acceptable compromise, 3"he,lgima lorltv ot senators, like the big majority of citizens, openly profess jheir desire to ratify the treaty, and fUcir willing ness to yield something in order to maice tnat possipie. uniy .

It is as necessary for him to compromise as it Is for Senator Lodge and his croup. .V.' ' All that the public expects is that, while the President and his supporters yield. to reservations designated to clari fy the treaty and."safegutrd American interests," the Lodge group shall refrain from making the reservations drastic enough to emasculate the treaty ana render the League o Nations powerless. In the prcsertf state of affairs, too little authority for the League might be more perilous than too much.' ' ONE MAN'S TELEGRAM 0 : ' , . - A story is told in a current magazine of a measure which ' iiad come up for nnal reading and passage in a state legis ature. l ie bill dealt with the care of children and was one that would lay the foundation for giving every child not .chanty. but a chance. , A commission of hftecn people, says the writer, ap pointed by the state, had studied the question fully for two vcars, ana the bill embodied the result ol its deliberations. Nearly every assemblyman and senator was pledged to its passage." And when the clerk asked for unanimous consent for the final vote, one Senator said "I object." This prevented action on the bill and laid it over for another session. When the senator was asked why he did it why he Invoked this technicality at this last hour, why he hadn't come out with it before "I had to do it," he answered feebly. "I received a tele gram. Somebody told me to do it. I never read the bill. I don't know what is in it." , The plain citizen is the ruler of this country. It is up to him to know what is going on. If he wants his congress man or senator to act in a certain way it is up to him to hend . him word. If enough citizens had instructed that state sen ator as to their stand on that bill, the chances are he would at leaafttdtp read the bill. , - j5vernment by postcard is better than government by Ignorance. . j. 7 : . 0-- r . .

For, along with thousands of other women, you have comfc to dread and shrink from the very thought of a "new pair of shoes." How smart and trim they look when you try them on in the shop. Perhaps the very next day you essay to "break them in" by wearing them to an Informal tea. Heavens! How you sutler, wnue everybody is having just the merriest kind of a time you are forced to plead a head ache and order a taxi home. Once home, you can hardly wait to tear the offending shoes from your poor abused feet. If only you think between groans you had the courage to wear the broad, flat shoes Cousin Lucy, who doesn't care a snap of her finger for style, affects. You shudder as you picture your aristocratically slender foot in Cousin Lucy's dumpy shoes. Why, you wonder, doesn't somebody design a shoe for women that shall be both smart and comfortable? Well now do you know that this very thing has really been done? Over in Rochester, New York, where Utz & Dunn, known the world over as makers of smart shoes for smart women, have their great factory, this subject style with comfort has been considered so important that they, a longi time ago, engaged scientists men -expert in the anatomy "'and physiology of, the foot to work together with their master shoe craftsmen in designing a shoe that could combine ease and comfort with undeniable style. In the course of their Studies, the Utz & Dunn people made the important discov ery that the root of all foot troubles lay in the insufficient support furnished to the bones of the arch by the modern women's shoe. Pains in the arches are comon occurrence among women who lead active, social lives or whose duties require them to be upon their feet for hours at a stretch. The feet of fleshy women, especially, slump under the strain of lack of support, causing excruciating agony. This slumping throws the weight of the foot into the slender toe of tthe shoe, causing pressure everywhere, with its resultant crop of corns and bunions. Working on this basic principle prop er suDoort Utz & Dunn "nally developed 'the patent "Ease-All" Shoe for women a shoe of such grace and style that it would easily be the choice of fashionable women everywhere 'on its modish appearance alone. But with this fashion is combined an ease and comfort so extraordinary that "breaking in" shoes has lost its terrors for all time.. Here is the basic reason . Right into the arch of the "Ease-AH" shoe is built an arch-supporting shank of steel, light and flexible yet tempered to a strength to support the heaviest foot, and so securely locked to the insole that the support is always at the right point This supporting bridge renders it impossible for the arch to break down or for the muscles to even become tired or strained in per forming their function of holding the bones of the foot in place. .- But the "Ease-All" Shoe has another comfort feature possessed by no other shoe. This feature is the special counter. The counters of the shoe, you, Madam, are wearing, are short, barely extended beyond the heel. The "Ease-All" counters extend almost to the ball of the foot forming a sus taining wall on each side of the arch that holds the pivot bones gently yet firmly in place, effectually preventing slump ing of the foot, (with all its attendant ills of pressure corns, bunions and in growing nails.) Utz & Dunn have great pleasure in presenting to the American women the "Ease-All" Shoe everything that a shoe for particular women should be visible shoe style, plus invisible shoe comfort. vTry a pair of "Ease-All" shoes today.

The En terprise also suggests "encourage ment of public utilities." Doubtless this means that patrons should not contend against reasonable rota in creases if those increases in rates make the investment sufficiently at tractive to capital so that service may be improved and extended.
