Care Of Children’s Feet Is Very Often Forgotten If every mother paid as much attention to her child’s feet as she does to dark rings around the neckline and a scrubbed and shiny look, foot health statistics among children would tell a different story. According to national surveys 76 per cent of school children suffer from foot defects by the time they reach fifteen years of age. Watch a child jump, run, spring. Every muscle is brought into play. 'Restrictions at any point mean that muscles cannot develop freelr and with elasticity, and tiny bones may be permanently forced out of natural alignment. From infancy to late teens the same fitting principles apply, for the foot continues to grow until i the twentieth year. Yet how quickly these principles are lost sight of. The too-short toe is usually the first offender. Cramping the toes throws the entire arch out of ad-! Justment. The foot compensates for the unnatural position by allow, ing the long, flexible arch bones to be depressed slightly. Before j long the child has acquired weak feet. Err on the side of a shoe that is i too wide rather than one that is j too narrow. The toe-box should be square and high. Fit always three quarters of an inch longer than fhe (longest toe which frequently ;s the (Second rather than the great toe. ! Patronize a shoe dealer who tries von both shoes and fits the child standing, bearing weight as well as seated. Remember, too. that short-footed i stockings may cramp the toes and disguise width and length measure ments. Buv large is a good rule: !and discard at once stockings that: 'shrink or are out-grown. Fortunately, children’s shoes are (generally well designed to allow for the growth of the foot in a natural position. It pays to shop at stores that make a special feature of the children's shoe department. There you will find fitters trained to un derstand the anatomy of a child’s foot. For the duration there will be fewer shoe styles from which to choose. But there will be no dearth of staple play and school shoes. -V SNOODS IN MODREN MOOD Snoods offer inspiration for trick sters on decorating notes.

In this way both pairs of shoes will last longer, keep their shape better and contri bute more to foot comfort and health. Three important rules to remem ber are: buy school shoes wisely in the correct size; buy them early, and buy quality. For, good shoes, soundly con structed on the basic principles of foot health, offer a good foundation for future adult well being and make for more alert, happier and healthier Americans. -V KEEP ’EM CLEAN Wet shoes should never be dried out before a fire or near any heat and shoe trees should be in them while drying. Mud left to dry on shoes is being unfair to our nation’s war effort. This causes shoes to de teriorate and thus evastes leather.

Witness the sudsy op eration under way above P Buy War Stamps During Shopping Now To Save For CollegeEducation “Take part of your change in War Stamps” is an urge that becomes especially appropriate now as the season during which children are being outfitted for the return to school approaches. Here is a slogan which, if acted upon, can furnish the ba sis for a college education for many a youngster the while the money is being employed by the United States government to insure parents that the chance for that higher learning will not be denied their young sters. Innumerable opportunities for "taking part of your change in stamps” will occur during the next few weeks, and best of all, the youngsters themselves will be right on hand to observe the good example being set by their parents. Mothers and fathers can well seek the opportunity, when sons or daughters have decided on the suit that is to be purchased, the shoes that fit, are chosen. That will make it much easi er to encourage the youngster to allot a part of his allowance every week to collecting war stamps for himself. It will lead the older ’Teen Agers, who may find it much easier this year to earn money after school in jobs where they will be substituting for some one called into the armed serv- , •ices, or someone who has mov ed on to a war industry job, to invest part of what they earn in the future of this nation.

It is not unlikely that school youngsters will find their own way to designate careless youth, just as “sissy” and “fraidy cat” have long been applied by youngsters to taunt their schoolmates. Figures show that carelessness— the seventh column—has accounted Eor more casualties among Ameri cans than did all cf our enemies Dn the battlefront during the first six months of 1942. -V Fort Bragg, N.
