Mrs Jacob Btmms, of Denison, la., Mrs. Hicks, of Oma- j Are Shoes Responsible for Marital Un happiness? Some wise men and women say that often they are. The nagging effect of a tight, uncomfortable shoe is reflected in the disposition of the person who suffers from it. It is so hard to be pleasant and agreeable when the feet are con fined to the prison of ill-shaped shoes! The medical director of the Life Extension Institute, Dr. Eugene L. Fisk, was quoted recently in the New York papers as follows: "Pointed toes, metal arches and extreme heels result in bad posture, wenkeneii abdominal muscles, fa tigue and impaired circulation.” Who could love a wife with all that! So, sensible shoes are being worn by sensible women, for all outdoor activities and for everything except formal social occasions, when some concession must be made. The woman who wears Cantilever Shoes is conforming to the recom mendations of experts without sac rifice of good appearnnre. For Cantilever Shoes arc modeled upon (he natural and beautiful lines of the foot. They have the right heels to give good posture, the flexible arch which stimulates circulation and gives ease and freedom to the foot. Cantilever Shoes make walking easier, standing less tiresome. Your feet a rtf bo comfortable, your health is so much better, it's no wonder vou have a happy disposition and a happy home! All guesswork eliminated: Every shoe is fitted by X-ray without extra charge to you. Sixes 2 to 11, Widths AAAA to EE, For Men and Women.

The weekly meetings of this cluh nre being held throughout the month of March with Mrs. E P. Schoentgen. Herbert Woodbury Successful. Many Council Bluffs people who have enjoyed the stories of Appleton Wayne are probably not aware of the fact that Appleton Wayne does not exist at all., but that these clever lit tle romances of love were written by a Council Bluffs hoy, Herbert A. Woodbury, Jr., who in June will coni pleto his college course at Harvard. Mr. Woodbury has always bad a journalistic bend, and during the past year has contributed to the "Harvard Advocate" with most favorable criti cism. A number of popular magazines have also published some of his stories, among which were "The Way Out.” “The Girl in the Blue Redan." "Rho Laughed" and "The Herrington Pearls’.’ Hi* last production. "Quarantine," is particularly well written and will probably appear in the April Argosy. At present he Is busy coaching a play which he has written and pro duced, and the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, of which he is a member, are characters in the cast. Before his graduation from the Council Bluffs High school in 1919, this talented author won his scholar ship for Harvard, and recently he was elected as one of 22 out of the 40 highest In the senior class, as a mem ber of the Pill Beta Kappa, an honor ary fraternity and the oldest in the L'nlted States.

In the “Lime Light.” That a group of Council Dluffs youths are “making good" along musi cal iinc-s was evinced last week when these lads proved to he a groat draw ing card in a clever and original lit tle jazz skit at a local theater, vhere repeated curtain calls were demanded by the enthusiastic audience.

A piece of brown paper, well sprin kled with salt, is an excellent thing to have on the end of the Ironing board to rub the dirt off the Iron after heating. It not only prevents j ugly smudges on clean clothes, but protects the ironing board as well. A Hot Hot-Wafer Bag. Fill the hot-water bag only half full and then press all the air out before screwing on the top. The bag will stay hot much longer and the less cumbersome to handle. A Fine Filler.

Library Chats The executive board of the Ameri can Library association appeals to .American libraries and librarians to j solicit books from the public and to . send bftoks from their duplicate col j lections for use by the American 1 library in Paris, and by the associa \ tion in meeting the requests for American publications which come from other countries in Europe. Dr. AAr. Dawson Johnston, librarian of the American library in Paris, and European representative of the Amer ican Liberty association says: "If this is to become a center of In formation in regard to American In stitutions, literature and thought, we need: First, files of the more impor tant American periodicals; second, the publications of the more Impor tant national societies, especially thou** reflecting public opinloni third, other works of reference relating to America, such as those listed lri Kroeger's Guide; fourth, collected edi tions of the writings of our represen tative writers and puhlic men; and third, illustrated books on American art and architecture, especially the • latter." There is need "also for American books in other parts of Europe. Col Robert E. Olds, formerly director of the Red Cross in Europe, is now in New York in the Interest "of the .tmerican library in Paris. He says: "That the greater part of the popu- ■ latlon of the continent of Europe is now effectively cut oft from intel lectual Intercourse with America Is Indisputably a matter of deep concern ; to the people as well as to us. The contact with the intelligent classes of central and eastern Europe, a surpris ing number of whom read our lan guage and are eager to keep in touch with us no longer exists, and there seems little prospect of Its being re paired by restoration of political ant economic equilibrium within such p» riod of time as to prevent irreparable damage. "Two new states have recently been forced to repeal legislation making our language the preferred foreign j language in their schools and to suh stltute German. The suggestion is confidently advanced that the Intel I lectual Isolation of several million of persons in Germany, Austria, Hun ! gary, Czecho slovakia, Poland, the : Baltic slates, the Balkins and Rus j sia, if permitted long to continue. Is I fraught with more danger to the j peace of the world than any other single factor In the situation.” The present status of foreign ex change makes the purchase of Amer ican publications by the countries mentioned practically impossible. If Europeans are to be kept in touch with what' America is doing their libraries must be provided with American books ior a time at least, free of charge. Almost any kind of books about America of comparatively recent date and in good condition will be accept able. In many cases an edition other than the latest will be satisfactory. Encyclopedias, American history, travel, biography, economics, educa tion, politics, sociology, municipal government, science, technology and literature are desired. Children'* books of the very best kind will not be out of place. The father of Alan Heeger. the writer of one of the most popular war poems, "I Have a Rendezvous With Death." was one of the promoters of the American library in Paris as a memorial to his son who was killed in action with the French foreign legion. July 4. 1911. The library will be glad ^o receive any books given by the •public for this service. Our librarian. Mis# Edith Tobitt, talked on general literature by the student body of the Presbyterian Theological seminary at Invitation of Dr. J. M. Wilson last Saturday morn ing. Miss Tobitt stressed the value of reading as a broadener of viewpoint and understanding to the clergy-man. and advised the perusal of various outside subjects as well as a compre hensive knowledge of the Action of the day. The late Mr. A. C. Smith gave the "Harvard Graduates Magazine ’ td the library for many years.
