ered by Sc-nora Lucia de Paula
Foneca, daughter of the Eraril
ian ambassador to America. She
complained that "altho you have
a very fine university you do not
teach Portuguese." Her adiress
was chielly concerned with a geo
graphical and economic account of
Brazil. She invited every one who
was in reed of a job to come to
Brazil because, as she said, "Our
country is so big and we haw so
few people there is no unemploy
ment.' She "trapped" that the
Amazon was so big that it pushed
the ocean away. She also com
mented briefly on the Nebraska
football team and expressed the
hope that the Huskers would take
Kansas.
As the representative of Cuba,
Senorita Mercedes Guerra, of Ha
vana, Cuba, expressed to the peo
ple of Nebraska the greetings of
all the people of her country. She
said that on her arrival in the
United States that she was amazed
at the number of schools. Educa
tion, she stated, is the only means
of peace and the remedy of social
ills. Nothing gives a better indi

Feet are growing
larger or else
more comfortable
MTady and Lflord are wearing
bigger and bigger shoes lately,
figures show. Plenty of evidence
has been found to prove that the
size of women's shoes sold is a full
size bigger than it was when
Grandma was a girl.
A Lincoln department store says
that shoos bought here today are
longer and narrower than they
were a few years ago, and that
the average size is from seven to
nine.
Not only has her granddaughter
been wearing larger shoes, but
also grandson. When the ROTC
supply department at Massachu
setts State college began outfitting
freshmen this fall, they found that
all the larger sizes of shoes were
quickly exhausted and 50 fresh
men couldn t be shod.
Smaller down south.
Shoes in general have not only
been growing larger, either be
cause of a change in the fitting
from short and wide to long and
narrow, or because it is no longer
considered a requisite of beauty to
have small feet, but they vary
from one section of the country to
another in the average size.
In the southern district a large
manufacturing company reports
the average size of women's shoes
sold is from five to seven; in the
middlewest the size is from seven
to nine; and in the northwest from
eight to ten.
