Noteworthy among the rescuers was the work of the physiclans and_ sur- geons of the capitai, many of whom were called from their beds to the scene of the disaster—there to work for hours without thought of relief— their only aim being saving of human lives. From the time a central tele- phone operator called the local hos- pitals and went through a list of physicians calling them to ald the victims of the crash, a score or more Washington doctors served through- out Saturday night and Sunday In their task.

(We do mnot venture this as our, own opinion.), admire “Fluffy Do men the Ruffles” type of woman, the Dresden China Doll, the fragile creature walking on fragile heels Or do they admire the girl whose color comes from nature; who, walks with natural grace, whose clothes be-| speak intelligent refinement— women who smile like good pals. There is a time and a place for the high heel and the pointed toe—at dances and other dressy functions. But the vast majority of worth- while men do admire 'the woman who goes to business, who does her shopping, who takes her afternocn stroll in good looking, sensible Cantilever Shoes. Ask any husband which type of shoes he admires on his wife’s foot —the high heel and sharp toe or the medium heel and the moderate toe. Nine out of ten men prefer to sce the woman they admire weating healthiul and helpful shoes, ‘The comfort that a woman enjoys Avhen she is correctly shod in' Cantilever Shoes adds. enormausly 1o the pleasantness of her disposi~ tion. Her health and her appears ance are improved. She becomes a good pal; and men become. her good friends. Let us show you the Cantilever Shoe and explain why its flexible arch, natural shape, toe- room, proper heels produce such comfort for the foot, such peace of mind and such admirable qualities in the women who wear Cantilevers!
