High Heels Under Ban If Bill Goes Through

SPRINGFIEtLD, 111., May 11.—The "high heel" bill introduced by Representative Kirby of Petersburg has centered upon itself almost as much attention ae any of the recognized big measures before the assembly, and its fate is not yet sealed.

The bill is intended to limit the height of heels on women's shoes and provides penalties for manufacturers who would fall to observe the provisions of the statute.

Through devious legislative maneuvers the bill has gone, once being laid on the table after being favorably reported by committee. Then it was sent back to committee again on motion of Representative Igoe to recommit, and this week a public hearing was held at which were present physicians and shoe experts who upheld Mr. Kirby's position that high heels are injurious to the foot and cause other bodily afflictions. "Eighty per cent of the men who fail to pass the examination for admission to the army are rejected because of flat feet, broken arches or other defects^ caused by badly fitting shoes or defects Inherited from, mothers who wore high heels," said Charles
