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

.Jt inconceivable that President Wilson himself should
choose at this time to play the role of a "bitter-ender." 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.' '

, . - 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

Invisible Shoe Comfort
Plus Visible Shoe Style
"I must buy a pair of shoes today, it is on record that you sigh audibly
as you make a note of it.
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.

"Disease taxes by increase In prop

which would have the effect of cre

this means that patrons should not

make the investment sufficiently at
