ZURICH, Aug. 19 (Reuter),—Despite the millions of men involved, it is remarkable how few signs of fighting are visible from the air except at isolated points, writes the "Berliner Neuezuercher Zeitung," describing a flight to Smolensk.
This is apparently due to the loose nature of the fighting over iL vastly extended front thousands of kilometres long the and hundreds of kilometres deep.)
Many villages are completely destroyed, yet others outside' the zone of fighting are un touched.

LOTUS "DORMEONE" SHOES are very old and tried favouritics. They have two special features the LOW HEEL and the "DORMEONE" STRAP.
The heel is only 3/4" 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.
