Normally the foot la flex* ible and has two arches, commonly known as the longitudinal arch, extending from the heel to the ball of the foot, and the transverse arch, which runs across the ball of the foot and bears the greatest part of the weight in walking. When a high shoe is on the foct, motion is festricted, but when a low shoe Is worn there is no obstruction to the free range of motion. It is important to remember that the feet of a child are constantly growing-- widening and lengthening, and that the feet should be allowed a freedom of motion during the growth period. For this reason it is far mere important that a fitted chlld wear a j low shoe than' an disease and lna&muateiv tochfijsaand *t*ee.

This procedure is wrong. The properly fitted stocking should be long enough to permit the toes freedom on standing, and the stocking should be pulled loosely along the toes to insure this action.

Unless a deformity of the foot exists, either congenital or acquired, the answer is simple. Every child has what looks like a flat foot until about the third year of age. The conation is normal because the youngster has rvot had tne opportunity to weir off the fat pad on the foot, which is normally present. For this reason, it is not too important :n the very young child to have a rigid soled shoe. An oxford type shoe with a flat heel, a rigid sole and a broad toe gives the growing Child of three or more support and comfort and allows normal activity of the tendons and muscles of the foot in walking.

No Such Thing As A Standard Diamond Color There ia'nt a standard color for diamonds as some think. Diamonds are mined in a variety of colors and shades including' blue, green, yellow, white, brown, pink and red. One of the world's most famous diamonds is the Dresden Green, and Apple Green stone of 41 carats. The HOPE diamond of 44% carats is Blue. The 123 carat Stewart Diamond i* a brilliant Canary Yellow; so is the 128 caret Tiffany. The Blue Tavernier, 68 carats tat weight was a Dark Blue. Darker even than the HOPE Diamond. The Star of The South, a 12$ carat stone is White, while the 137 carat FLORENTINE! is Golden Yellow. Each of these famous stones is a Masterpiece of Beauty in itself*- The most common colors of diamonds are Yellow and Brown: Many persons are confused by the term "Blue-White". Perhaps not one stone in five hundred has even the slightest tinge of Blue. Yet, the term "Blue-White" persists as the standard, by which all diamonds are judged. The term is so stuck in the consumers minds that a diamond of any other color is considered inferior merchandise. This of course, is not so. In respect to the term "Blue*. White", The Federal Trade Commission has approved a definition stating that no diamond should be represented as "Blue-White" which reveals any color or trace of color other than blue. Tints of Blue, however, are so rare thak reputable Jewelers do not use the term to represent their diamond vtock.

IHinoia will soon crack down on the reckless and the drunken driver. Senate Bill $70, drafted with the aid of some of the foremost traffic safety experts in the nation haa been passed by the state Senate and is now pending in the Illincia House of Representatives. It is almost certain to be passed. Under this bill a dt Ivor's license will be a most valuable possession, and will be readily revoked or suspended if the driving privilege is abused. Administration of the new law will be vested in Secretary of 3tate Charles F. Carpentiar, Mandatory revocation of a driver's license will result where the driver has been convicted of manslaughter, drunken driving, three charges of reckless driving, or other specified offenses Discretionary authority to revoke cr suspend a driver's license is granted where the driver has committed frequent violations of other sections of the law such as speeding, failure to fctop at stop signs, etc. Once a driver's license has been revoked it wont be easy to secure a new one and driving a car without a license, after a license has been revoked or suspended, will subject the violator •to a fine of not more than $300.00. A second offender miy be imprisoned for one year. The writer was privileged to participate in a recent conference with the Secretary of State, various safety experts and other members of the state Senate. At this conference it was sought to eliminate all controversial and ambiguous provisions of the bill. At the conclusion of the conference there was a complete agreement and understanding as to every paragraph and sentence. The object of this bill Is to protect the careful drivers who constitute more than 90 per cent of those who operate motor vehicles in our state, and to crack down hard on the less than 10 per cent who will either have to correct their driving h4bits--or get off the road. auto accident Two persons were injured and four cars damaged in an accident which occurred near Burton's Bridge on Rt. 176 Sunday afternoon.
