Better Electric
Service Possible
Better voltage regulation of electric
powernervice in the Lyons-Gates-Mill
City area has now been made possible
with the addition of a large, auto

Stewart said that the installation
cf the capacitor unit . will improve
operation of the automatic regulating
equipment which stabilizes voltage in
these service areas.
This unit is the only one if its kind
cn the Mountain States system. Its
function differs entirely from that of
the ordinary "shunt” capacitors in
common usage on the system.

In 1849, eight prominent citizens
formed the Oregon Exchange com
pany and began minting five and ten-
dollar gold coins to meet the problem
of what to use for money. Although
about 6,000 five-dollar coins and
2,850 ten-dollar coins were minted,
few of these early pieces are in exist
ence today. Their rarity is explained
by the fact that they actually con
tained more gold than their face value
and were bought up and shipped to
California where they were melted
into 50-dollar gold slugs.
Also included in the Oregon Histor
ical Caravan are many old photo
graphs and lithographs, early imple

FOOT HEALTH
If you haven't bought a pair ot
shoes during the past few weeks,
you are a rare American The shoe
industry tells us that a large pro
portion of the nearly 500,000,000
pairs of shoes sold annually in the
United States are purchased dur
Ing Spring.
What concerns foot specialists
is that during this spree of shoe
buying, most people—particularly
women —
to concentrate on
style and ignore
health and com
fort factors —
which is why so
many of us sullet
from foot ail
ments of one
kind or another
Unsuitable and
poorly Atting shoes are chiefly re
sponsible for foot disorders That
is why podiatrists stress the itn
porta nee of proper footgear On
the basis of my own practice and
the experience of hundreds of othei
foot doctors, we have learned that
light, flexible, loath«
- <t shoos
are best from the viewpoint ol
both health and comfort.
Leather soles nave been found
to be an important factor in foot
health, because the fibrous struc
ture of leather permits breath
Ing"—that is it allows the foot U
receive air and evaporate perspi
ration, at the same time that it
provides the necessary flrmn»s«
and support.
Here are a few simple rules to
follow when buying your next pair
,Qi shoes:
Have both feet measured tn a
Standing position. Take the size
called for by the longer of the two
feet, since nearly all people have
feet of unequal size. See that the
widest part of the foot rests com
fortably at the widest purl ot the
shoe The big toe joint should res'
at the turn of the leather sole to
assure a good heel to ball tit Be
certain that the vamp is neither
too tight nor too loose across the
widest part of the foot Make sure
that there is at least one half inch
of space between your toe and
the tip of the shoe. The neei and
counter should give snug support
without pinching or chafing.
Since so many women wear
high heels, flrm support at the
back is particularly important A
gaping heel will cause constant
slipping of the foot within tne
shoe. resulting in painful bumps
and callouses on the neei ant
also at the metatarsel joint. For
all-around wear, excessively high
heels should be avoided.
