The Durene Association of America was pussy
footing around your neighborhood last year and dug
up the following facts: the average American adult
takes 18,000 steps a day on feet that contain 26
bones and 33 joints (the European foot contains the
same number). Active children take about 30,000.
One foot is usually a half size larger than another
and housewives have the worst feet of any occupa
tional group, including policemen. Also, they found
that as the day progresses, say around the 17,000th
step, feet get larger. Shoes bought in the morning
may be tight at night.
The firm of Elmo Roper found that 40 per cent

when the management gives her a free soft drink as
she enters, she dallies nearly 23 minutes around the
grocery shelves and staggers out with $9.10 worth
of goods.
