A few weeks ago President von Hindenburg had a sev ere attack of misery in his knee. Doctors and masseurs were called. The knee was baked in an electrical oven and even a mesmerist did his stuff, but to no avail. Then the President's bootmaker got on the job, studied the presidential foot, and constructed a pair of shoes that sup plied an artificial arch. Presto! The rheumatism was gone. Whether or not this incident vindi cates the rheumatism-flat feet theory, we do not know, but we do know that the well-being of the feet is highly important to health and happiness. To have "hurty feet" is to be sick all over. It causes irritibility, instabil ity of the mental processes, upset- j ting of the digestion and domestic discord. No one can possibly function 100 per cent if the feet are in tor- j ture. erprtKecxiwehibricmaca Assures quiet power and free dom from wear. Contult Chart for correct grade. Knocks ouf that "knock? ME. HOOVER'S OPPORTUNITY No direct word has come from Mr. Hoover as to his position on the tar- 1 ,i ,0fnrD th cnitD nt nnmornna Viinto linrp h"n thrown nut that it goes far beyond his concep tion of tariff revision. It is reported he is particularly opposed to the schedules on shoes and sugar, and ,that h!s fiends pleaded in vain with itne a3's an" Means Committee to lower the new rate on the latter commodity. It is rumored that unless the Senate's influence is used to mod erate the bill. Mr. Hoover will veto it on the ground that it does not con form to the Republican platforr. pledge or his own promises, i In its platform the Republican party pledged a revision of the tariff to assist certain industries which "cannot now successfully compete with foreign producers " And Mr. Hoover, in his acceptance speech, said: "We have pledged ourselves to make such revisions in the tariff laws as may be necessary to provide real protection against the shiftings of economic trides in our various indus tries." The impression gained from these and other utterances was that the new tariff should merely touch up the Fordney-McCumber schedules, particularly in an effort to relieve the farmer. No such milk-and-water revision suited the protectionists, however, and ever since last winter they have streamed into the chambers of the Ways and Means Committee demand ing increased duties on nearly every conceivable manufactured product. Joseph R. Grundy of Pennsylvania archpriest of protection, opened an office in Washington, issued an ulti matum to Mr. Hoover and Congress that he was there to get a "super tariff" and that nothing short of a "blanket embargo" on every import competing with any Pennsylvania product would suit him. There is no doubt that in the early skirmishes the protectionists have won a tremendous victory. It is esti mated the increase in the rate on Cubci. sugar from 1.7G to 2.40 cents a pound will add $100,000,000 to the American sugar bill. Congressman Rainey of Illinois, a tariff expert. thinks the new rates as a whole will add $600,000,000 a year to the cost of living. As for the farmer, whom the tariff was supposed to relieve, one commentator remarks it is cal culated to relieve him of everything he has left except his mortgage. Of approximately 1000 items on which the duties have been raised, 60 are on things produced by the farmer. and most of the other I40 on what he must buy. A storm of protest has followed the passage of the new tariff bill by the House in which it is impossible to discern partisanship. Most inde pendent Republican newspapers unite with the Democratic and neutral press to denounce what has been termed the most unconscionable tar iff grab in history. It is plain the country was not prepared for the astonishing document that was pro duced in the secret sessions of a leg islative committee and driven thru without other than committee amend ment. But the indignation of the American people at a measure de signed to increase the dividends of already wealthy corporations and to deplete the consumer's pocketbook is only half the story From without the borders of the country come reports that must pro foundly influence a man bo sensitive to the international economy as is Mr. Hoover. Canada, our best cus tomer, which still smarts from the effects of the Fordney-McCumber schedules, is deeply concerned over the rates on shingles, milk and cream and livestock. The bill has giv en impetus to the Canadian move ment to divert her trade to Great Britain. The Argentine, which Mr. jHoover visited on his good-will tour. is in consternation over such things as the duty on hides. Threats of re prisals are heard from Europe, and t there is much bitter comment on the jirony of the United States' policy. i which, on the one hand, works for a, ; settlement of the reparations prob lem, and on the other, puts up tariff barriers to prevent that free ex change of products which is the only liope of Europe to pay off its immense war obligations. What the Senate will do about the Hawley tariff bill no one knows, but some of the more cynical observers predict that when Senator Smoot, of beet-sugar fame, and others of his stripe are through with it it will be even more offensive than the bill which emerged from the House. Mr. Hoover, in the meantime, is busy gathering newspaper editorials and other barometers of opinion to in form himself as to the state of the public mind. It Is said 91 2-3 per cent of the clippings register opposi tion to the bill, and White House statisticians say no tariff bill has aroused such general resentment. Under the circumstances, Mr. Hoo ver has a great opportunity for pub lic service. He is the Hindenburg line not only between the people and their exploiters, but between the United States and foreign countries who must trade with us to live. If he can resist the tremendous pres sure of politicians and tariff-grabbers he will earn universal applause. If he succumbs, as Mr. Taft did, he will not meet the expectations of those who believe in his wisdom and in his independence.

Strong rays of light dart upward and in all directions ex cept the proper one, dazzling the vi sion of approaching moforists and make night driving uncomfortable and dangerous. Yet the answer to this trouble lies not in dimming the headlights, when other drivers approach, accord ing to many automotive lighting en gineers. Dimming might be consider ate for others, but it momentarily puts the driver behind the dimmed lights into a dangerous blind spot. That moment of blindness might cause a serious accident. In Wisconsin the rule is not to dim lights for approaching drivers. Rather the chance of momentary dazzle than what 1b believed to be the more dangerous possibility from dimming. Of course the entire difficulty lies in improperly adjusted headlights. This means not only danger to the other fellow from glare, but loss of proper illumination for the motorist behind such lights. The way out is to be entirely selfish about it ad Just the lights so that you yourself will get the most good out of them -and a great part of the glare will be removed. As one lighting engineer puts it. "if you use your light to the greatest advantage to yourself, getting a good, adequate light down the roadway, It means that you have taken away a great deal of the wasted, stray glare light from the approaching motorists' eyes and put it down on the road where it belongs." :o: FOE SALE One Deering binder nearly new.
