If your shoes do not give you this comfort try a plus-&tting E, which has extra but unseen toe room.

Dr. Kotewall then handed the cup in question to the leader of the 9th Troop, and congratulated the troop. on winning it

In the course of a short address to the Seouts, Dr. Kotewall said that although this troop might only hold the cup for a short time, as the next swimming sports were to be held in a few weeks, he hoped that. they would do as well in swimming this year as they did last, if not better.

"He was pleased to see their smart turn-out that afternoon, and hoped that numbers 'would be maintained at future parades, especially as the cool weather was coming.
