EVERYONE makes mistakes. lint only fools make the
same mistake twice. The world to the west seems t.i
he slipping into the latter category.
Japan is overcrowded. She must have room in which
to expand. Instead of basing plans of expansion upon
peaceful negotiation, Japan is apparently relying upon
the old exploded methods, which reduced the kaiser to a
wood chopper and destroyed one of the world's greatest
empires.
Tho -recent war, according to reports, has gone t.
Japan's head. (She emerges as the one belligerent who
profited hy it. Never before has the Nippon kingdom been
so prosperous. Instead of learning the lesson of the war
that imperialist ifi conquest is dead, Japan is now eontrollet
by forces that believe imperialistic conquest for her ha;
just begun.
Tremendous sums have recently been voted for an ex
pansion of the Japanese army and navy. Taking advan
tagc of the general prostration and confusion, caused by
the war, .Japan has captured Vladivostok, and is extend
ing her domain in Siberia, by force of arms. Liberal pre
tests within the empire are silenced by the usual method,
of an absolute monarchy. Extension of the suffrage and
labor organization, arc cried down as the propoganda o
traitors.
A thousand incidents could he related to show the al
most uncanny analogy between the, Japan of today and the
Germany of: twenty years ago. It is generally believed tlu
British-Japanese alliance will be abrogated. The visit of
the Prince ol: ales to Australia is rumored as Ihe opening
wedge for the dispatch of a large British fleet to the Pa
ic. Anti-Japanese sentiment in Australia is spreading
like wild fire. The recent references by Secretary Daniels
to the pressing need of it larg fleet on the Pacific coast, is
only another sinister omen.
"What is the world to do? Learn nothing from the re
cent catastrophe from which civilization is still staggering?
Continue the old game ol: armament competitions and me
al antagonisms, go on sowing the dragon s teeth of hos
tility and discord, until the inevitable holocaust descends
again?
It would hardly seem necessary to preadi tiie lolly ol
such it course. And yet there is no indication ol serious
preparation for any other.
lthout. the participation ol: the United states tne
League of Nations is dead. And yet the most conspicuous
political fact today is the support given to the one man in
this country who Jias done most to Kin it. jv man who noi.
only opposes this league ol nations, but opposes any league
of nations, is the man with the most aggressive personal
following in the country.
AVhat is one to make out, od.n f 1 lie obvious answer, in
our opinion, is that the, world is now suffering from a war
reaction which has thrown it, into a moral and political stu-

And Kansas climate is the worst that e'er the Lord in

there I'm most contented. For there my friends are

L' tho woman tern-her unvo me a dis
tinct surprise. I lus was tlu l.rsi
ook of tin sort ! luui rnnl that arivo
nteil a moderately biyli heel. We
are the victims just now of thai ll.it
foot friend, and no heels to riidil of
ns, low heels to left of us, vollev and
thunder the ureaehers. Ami the
woman with n liiiih arch - such as out
ijraiuliMothers considered nrist icrntic
is wondering what ails lier that she
just eannot be eoinfortahle in shoes
made for flat-footed people.
The sliuhtlv iniddle-aued wom:;n
remembers from elocution class tlu;
she was taught to walk on the hall of
her foot. Kxperience ha demon
strated to her less teaelmltle veai's
that the weight of her lutdv falls on
her heels. The heel is the base of
the column formed bv the hones ot
tho loir. It is the heel that uets the
hardest whack in natural wnlk'ni:. So
it is paramount that we have the heel
padded by u broad, btion boot le.'ol,
which some prefer shod with a rub
ber base. The l-'rem h heel is a niou
slrosilv that we shall outgrow in
time ns we uet better sense.
Hat if we walked ou our heel alone
we should he bnue. The elastieitv of
our walk is due to our toe. These
spread with each step and that is th'
second point a to' that admits of
the spread.
(liven these two. we have a sen
sible shoe. Other than this we must
let our foot decide. I f we have a
iiili arch, we are very apt to be un
comfortable in a shoe that throws
our weight too far back and we pre
fer a "block" or even a "milil:ir"
heel, lint more than this is throw -inir
the weight too far forward.
(ienerallv speaking, it is better to
have heels too low than too hiuh.
Hut don't let u be too exlretne in nar
reform. 1 ibink we should thank thi
doetor for his braverv in espouir!:
