I HEELS NOT FOR
WOMEN OF CAPITAL,
SAY SHOE
EXPERTS
Idea Is Ridiculous, Declare
Chiropodist and
. ' -a Dealers.

Washington's ultrn-faslilonablcs were
Indignant this morning on hearing of
the announcement of the Southern
Shoo Retailers' Association, In conven
tion at Atlantn. opposing the making
of. shoes with heels over half an Inch
In height.
Society women Interviewed on the
subject scoffed at the attempt of the
nhoo Interests to make them wear shoes
with such low heels, while the dealers
asserted that tho Idea was absurd and
could not ho forced on the public.
Miss May GlbboiiB, the Connecticut
nvenuo chiropodist, who numbers
among her cllentllo the feminine elect
of the city, and who has 'often during
licr twenty years' experience hero vis
ited the wives of Presidents and ad
vised them and the women of the Dip
lomatic Corps on what shoes to wear,
was vigorous In her denunciation of
thn "lii.lf.lni-Ji" heel shoe.
. "There Is not u society woman in the
city that would ruin- the appearance
of, her foot by wearing such an abor
tion," said Miss Gibbons this morning.
"Tho wearing of the half-inch heol
would have the. same effect. Already
many of the society women of tho city
have suffered the disfiguration of their
feet by attempting the square, bulldog
Hoes. Imagine the change a shoo
of this latter type would make in tho
pretty feet of our women."
. Joseph A. Berborlch, a well-known
hoe man, declares that the Idea of try
ing to make tho public take to shoes
With half-Inch heels Is absurd.
"liven men would object to wearing
heels of such height." said Mr. Bcrber
ich this morning. "It Is true that tho
tendency within the last few years Is
to a lower heel. But the Idea of sug
cottlng a halt-inch heel for women Is
out of the question entirely. Surely
there is some nifttako concerning tho
association's action regarding such low
heel footwear.
Fred Hahn. of the firm of llahn A.
t'o., declared that the time would
never come when women would weal
such low heels on their shoes.
Handclapping Must Be
Unique for Summons
"There Is one Kind of handclapping
I am not yet proficient In," said the
grav-halrcd man. "I cannot call J.
Japanese servant by clapping my
hands. I clap, but the servants do
not answer. A friend of m no nas
two Japanese servants. When he
wants attention ho claps his hands
and one of them appears. At his
home yesterday I needed a sheet of
aper to finish a bit of writing I was
working on in mv friend's absence. I
clapped my hands, nobody came.
I ciappeu loimur, .inn u-iwi' ov...
louder, but the Japanese servant per
sisted In his retirement, bo I sub
stituted calling for clapping, and
presently 1 got my paper. I told m
friend of my failure 1 said 1 knew
the art of clapping well enough to
make mv sentiments known at the
play, at a ball game, and at a politi
cal meeting, then why couldn t I
summon a Japanese servant?
'You haven't got the knack, said
he "A white man has to associate
with Orientals for months before he
learns the peculiar handclap that they
recognlzo as a summons.'
'Then he gave me a few lesson?,
hut I am sure I hav not mastered it
yet, and that :f 1 should chip '"
for a Japanese servant he would lei
me clap till my hands were sore, un
der the Impression that 1 was killing
moth millers and rooting for a iiome
run." New York Times.
Pepsin Introduced
Half a Century Ago
The Introduction or pepsin as a
remedial agent effected a complete
revolution in the method of restoring to
normal the ailments which In the old
days were classed In a group as dys
pepsia. , ,
If physicians wei e to observe anni
versaries of the discovery of remedies
which had proven a blessing to man
kind the entire profession would unite
In remembering the fiftieth anniversary
of the first manufacture of pepsin in
this country.
Just half a. century ago the late John
Camrlc. the eminent physiological chem
ist and the father of physiological prod
ucts In the United States, made possible
a new epoch In American medicine by
producing the first pepsin.
Pepsin had been made in a small way
la Europe before Mr. Carnrlck's enter
prise caused It to be Introduced here, ns

poor, however, that its use was distinct

Largely By Boys
We forget that the civil war was
waged for the most part by mere boys.
Of the 2.278.5SS who enlisted on the Union
side, practically all were boys. Tho
118,000 of this number wno were over
twenty-one years of age form but a
fractional part of the enormous total
of 2,ffi0.000. a million of this total were,
at enlistment, between eighteen and
twenty-one. About 300.000 were eighteen
years old. About Ouo.noo were seventeen,
and some liio.ooo from fourteen to
fifteen years old. Three hundred were
thirteen, 225 wore twelve, 3S were eleven,
and there were 2T. who were only ten
years of age at the time of enlistment.
Tho figures on the Southern side would
probablv show a yet earlier average age.
It is this fact that keeps the pension
roll alive today. If the average Mildler
was twent.v at enlistment, he would, bo
today but seventy-one years old. and his
wife would be et younger. Chicago

away and took his honey from other
flowers. . .
Xot long after the bee was fly ng
through the garden one morn ng
when he heard some one calling
faintly, "honey bee. honey bee.
