Favors 50 Year Contract. “I believe it would be a better policy” the secretary wrote “to limit the contract to a term of 50 years (instead of 100) to conform with the established policy of the federal gov- ernment as set out in the waterpower act.” Secretary Weeks outlined to con- gress the offer by Mr. IFord in this way: Ford's Proposition. ord offers to undertake the completion of dam number two and the construction of dam number three according to the government's plans for which he shall be reim- bursed the actual cost and to lease the dams and power plants at an an- nual rental equivalent to four per cent of the cost to the government of com- pleting dam number two and con- structing dam number three, (ex- clusive of the cost of acquiring lands and flowage rights necessary for dam number three. “The rentals of four per cent are to commence, respectively in six years after dam number two has been com- pleted to the point where equipment for 100,000 horsepower is installed and ready for service and three years after the equipment to develop 80,000 horsepower is installed and ready for service at dam number three.

He also agrees to furnish electricity for operating the locks at each of these dams without charge to the government and in ad- dition he agrees to pay the sum of $23,273 semi-annually for the purpose of building up a sinking fund to re- turn to the United States at the end of the lease period, a sum of money which he imates if invested at 4 per cent will be approximately $49,- 000,000 “Mr. Other Con “As a condition of asks that the United TheJ.

If he didn't the muscles would eventual- Iy atrophy. When you wear a shoe with a stiff shank, it's just as if your arch were hound .against a splint. But when you wear the Cantilever Shoe, the flexihle arch of your shoe, though it gives support, bends with the arch of your foot. The muscles are encourag- ed to exercise and grow strong, and flat feet are prevented and corrected. The wonderful feeling of swase in Cantilever Shoes is partly due to the natural inner sole-line. Partly to the proper placing of the heels. But chiefly, it is because Cantilevers are made to accommodate the foot instead of being accommodated at the expense of it.
