Mr. F. T. Birchall, of the New York Tymes, and chief European correspondent of that paper from 1984 to 1989, in a broad- cast recently said that Hitler, surrounded by the strongest array of mechanized slaughter- machines ever gathered together for murder, in the bombastic fashion common to his every ut- téranco, had graciously offered to give us peace on his terms If we would ask for it.

LOTUS "DORMEONE" SHOES are very old and tried favourites. They have two special features -the LOW HEEL and the "DORMEONE" STRAP.
The heel is only 4" high. This means that the weight of the body is thrown well back and correct stance is enforced. Almost as good as the ideal the barefoot stance.
The "DORMEONE" strap acts like a veritable extra `ligament, bracing the arch of the foot constantly and taking oway the strain of the low heel. It is adjustable both for position and tension. It 'permits a full day's golf or hiking without foot
