WASHINGTON, Aug. 28—We're raising a generation of women with big feet. Not only that, we are placing them at the head of the beauty parade. I have just received the press work sheet for the forthcoming Miss America contest to be held in September at Atlantic City, N. J. The shoe sizes for. the lovlies run from 4%B to 9AA. Most of the underpin sizes run seven or over,

Interviews Miss Arkansas

THE OTHER DAY I had an interview with pretty Mary Jennings, who is Miss Arkansas, We talked about her talent, which is opera singing, and other things. Then we got down to measurements. She was proud of her 36%: hips, weight 120 pounds, bust 36%. “What size shoe?’ I asked, foot in mouth. She blushed and said, "7% The hazel-eyed, black- haired Mary should not have apologized. : I had a talk with Matthew Zona, who works for the Regal Shoe outfit here. He is one of the leading experts on women's shoes around town. He says that the models. of sample shoes usually have feet which don't run more than size 415 to 5. Some of the samples, Mat says, go down to 3%. Take heart, Miss Arkansas! Fortunately, the pretty gals with big feet do not have to lose much sieep.

Costly Specs

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28— What the high cost of building bridges (inside the human mouth) has to do with the price of eyeglasses I'm not exactly

- certain, but I think you'll agree the subject is in- * teresting.

Some time back the Senate adopted a resolution by Sen. William Langer (R. N.D.) ordering an

investigation of the cost of spectacles. Sen. Langer,

who does not wear glasses, himself, put it this way: “A pair, of eyeglasses costs $1 to make and they sell em for $20.” So the Judiciary Committee, under Sen. Harley M. Kilgore (D: W.Va.) called in the optical men to discover whether they were “cheating - the nearsighted ones. I was a little late in arriving and when I got there, Sen. K. was deli vering a speech about teeth.

“So, of course,” continued the Senator, “some

of this material at night and sell it at bargain rates to the dental laboratories. To combat this, the dental profession wanted to put poison in all the metal methaculate, except that debtined to be sold at $75 a pound. They would have got away with it, too, if it hadn't been for the Food and Drug Administration, M. J. Julian, a precise citizen in a pair of $45 (I asked him) rimless bifecals, néver had heard

At Atlantic City, they don’t pay off on feet, | unless you're a tap dancer, Mostly, it's other talent. How you look jn an evening gown and a bathing suit. A size 39 bust counts a lot. A size 9 shoe is nothing against you. The work sheet I got today includes statistics about all of the contestants, including their favorite sport. Maxine Cothern, “Miss Alaska,” says that what she would rather do than eat is “dog mushing.”

Up there in the far North country she gets:

Miss Minnesota's Largest i

I HOPE that Jeanne Marie Traun, of Minneapolis, “Miss Minnesota,” is not listening in—and if so I hope she doesn’t feel too bad. She has the biggest feet in the big Miss America parade. In the propaganda sheet she sent to Atlantic City, she admitted to a size 9AA foot. The young lady, according to. friends in Minnesota, does a fine job as an opera singer, and is big enough to prove it. She's 5 feet, 9 inches, and has proportionate measurements.
