BANQUET & SPEECHES OF GOODWILL

WASHINGTON, June 8.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S hearty "How are you,"

the cheers of 600,000 American citizens and the crash of saluting cannon greeted Their Majesties as they walked through the saluting lines of marines and sailors to the presidential receptions after their arrival in the Capital at noon to-day.

Cheers resounded through the high-vaulted Union Station re- gardless of the stiff formality of diplomatic etiquette.

"How are you? I am so glad to see you!" said President Roosevelt, King George smiled broadly, mur- mured a response to the President and held out his hand which Mr. Roosevelt shook heartily.

The King then turned and present- ed the Queen to President and Mrs. Roosevelt.

President Roosevelt, with a broad smile, stretched out his hand and raki: "How are you? I am glad to see you."

Their Majesties and the Roosevelts then briedy conversed before the presentations were made.

The King saluted repeatedly in ae- knowledgment along the cheering route to the White House, which Their Majesties reached 14 minutes ahead of schedule.

The Queen waved from beneath parasol protecting her from the blazing sun.

The President's emphasis on the peaceful settlement of the Canton and Enderbury sovereignty problem has stirred speculation that the stage may be set for consultations and discussions on other Pacific problems in which the United States and Great Britain are both vitally interested, as follow:-

(1) Philippines security at present

and after independence.

(2) The protection of the United States trado routes to the East Indica which recently have been the United States only source of raw materials.

The heel is only 3⁄44′′ high. This means that the weight of the body is thrown well back and a 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 away the strain of the low heel, It is adjustable both for position and tension. It permits a full day's golf without foot fatigue.
