CARE OF FEET ■ ■— Feet Often Break Down If r Not Cared I' or Uy Jouph s. Wasney, <V p‘staff CorrMP on <l« n D Wa.hlNtton, March 26. - (United. Pr p„)-The arc often the moat LerworW part «f the humaM bo ‘ ,y an d union Kiven apactal care they nr , apt to break down, according to “ r llllg h S. Camming. surgeon general of the United Staleß - •Our Mt a l- '’ c ßll ''' l upon hy 0,,r occupation 0,1,1 ,nn, ’ , ‘ of d ” M *° function under unfavorable conditions vaulting In weakening and Imparment." he said. “The care of the feet rtn be discussed under two headings, preventive and corrective.” Care of the feet should begin at Infancy. he advises. Congenial deformities should be attended to as early , M possible. An orthopedic surgeon tan usually correct deformities of the feet without cutting if the child is brought to him in the first year. Dr. Cumming pointed out. "Heels should not be worn on infants or childrens shoes. Nature meant us to stand and walk in such a position that the heels are on the same level with the toes. Great care should be taken to select shoes that are roomy, soft and flexible. "High heels tend to make us fall forward, bear our weight on our toes, deform the arch of the foot, shorten the muscles on the hack of the calf and to disturb the relations of our internal organs." - ' Children should be taught to walk with the toes pointing directly forward. the feet being paralied. Toe- 1 ing out tends to weaken the arches, he continued. I Socks are important in caring for the feet. They should not be too short, too narrow or of unyielding material and like shoes they should really be made in rights and lefts. | "Certain simple exercises, if taken regularly tend to keep the feet flex-. ible and in a healthy condition,” Dr.' Cumming said. Moving the toes in all directions is one of them. A good exercise is to try to grasp a small marble with the toes. "Other exercises including moving the foot in all directions, and rising on the toes and heels. When the nails are cut it is better to cut them straight across—not round-because round cutting encourages ingrowing nails." Persons on their feet continually while working should bathe their feet every evening and change to fresh shoes and stockings, he advised. In the morning, clean, fresh, soft, well fitting stockings should be put ou anil shoes of sufficient length, breath and roomy at the toes and well Atting arround the instep, with soft leather tops and low heels should be worn. “If these measures are carried out, corns, callouses, bunions, ingrowing riapjdEg tc.es ami a lijw other foot ills would be avoided.” I O — I TO MEET FRIDAY Baptist Brotherhood To Have Splendid Program The Brotherhood of the Baptist church Is planning for a big time in tbe regular meeting, Friday evening, Apill 1.

BELTS AND BOWS Attractive Trimming Used On Frocks And Coats By Hedda Hoyt, (IT. P. Fashion Editor) New York, Mar. 26.—(United Press) --Frocks, sweaters and coats worn by the Fashionables of Palm Beach are adorned with narrow gold belts. The demand for gold belts has been so | strong in New York that it is difficult to find a good selection at any of the department stores. | Bows are receiving considerabel attention these days. Spring coats often i use this method of collar trimming rather than fur. One sees cloth coats with pecot-edge cloth bows, satin models with cire ribbon bows, moire models with velvet bows, etc. The .coat bow may be placed on the lapel in corsage effect or worn at the back of the collar. I There is quaintness to the how that is worn at the back of the bouffant evening gown. Recently we have seen several taffeta picture frocks with rounded rear neck lines finished with bows having long streamer ends. The bow is usually made of velvet in a contrasting color to the gown. For instance, a pink taffeta frock, with slender normal-waisted bcuice Attd full-gathered skirt bordered in blue uses a blue velvet bow at the rear ne k line with streamer ends falling to the ankle-length hem. Rhinestone jewelry is seen at most evening functions lately. Ornate earrings of brilliants set in floral design are matched by pendant necklaces and by bracelets. Paste jewelry has become a fad with smart women, it appears. Os course, rhinestone jewelry of any type can only be considered costume jewelry. Set in antique settings, its funeticn is t osparltle rathI er than appear real. I Beige, the popular costume accessory color, may be worn with almost any colored costume. Gloves, handbags, shoes, belts and hats in the various beige tones are worn with green, purple, navy, brown, rose-beige or any of the newer spring colors. Shoes with ribbon instep ties are gaining in popularity. Pumps and single-strap models are changed so little during the past two or three seasons that many women are turning to bow-tie shoes. — -o — JOKES FOR KINGS British King Likes Them Simple And Proper London (United Press) — How to make the King and Queen laugh, l/.t with the use of only highly proper jokes, was the biggest problem of the actors in a recent royal command variety performance here. Up to almost the last minute before tbe show started, constant rehearsals were held to make new jokes laughable and to rejuvenate old ones. Finally a competition grew up among the artists and by common agreement it was decided to note which drew the biggest laugh from the royal box. | The prize was won by a woma'ri impersonator who changed her voice to imitate a child. She told this joke. ’ "Mummy,” the child asked, “is daddy a good religious man?" I "Yes", responded the mother, “your father is a very good man.” “I thought so,” said the child, “for when his collar button rolled under the dresser the other morning I heard him telling God all about it!" I One artist used a joke which had not [ been in the rehearsals. It would have 1 probably been censored if the management had heard in before the show. The whole audience laughed, but became suddenly silen' when it glanced at the royal box where both the King

. : and Qne<»n sat cold and unresponsive. ' King George enjoys a joke more I than any other member of the royal ' | family. During a lecent tour of ini spection to some newly built steel houses, the King met a former officer ' in the Navy. The King asked how the officer liked living in a house made entirely of steel. “Very much. Your Majesty,” the of-1 fleer answered, “you see 1 am used to living with steel around me.” > ’ The King thought a moment and then laughed as he realized that the officer had spent most of his life aboard a ship. 0 — MIRROR RINGS American Jewelers Adopt English Fad New York, (United Press) —The mirror ring, which was recently launched in London, is already l>eing made up by American jewelers and before long i we may dispense with the tiny handbag mirror. Instead of a ring stone, a . tiny round mirror is used as the ring set. The mirror is made to reflect the entire face of the wearer. Costume tings with large semi-precious stones* ' have been popular and the mirror ring, being no la-ger than the average 1 costume ring, ..ill create no undue ‘ disturbance. * As a rule Summer calls for white jewelry. This year, however, light pink' jewelry is preferred above white effects Pink turmaline and roes quartz are the loveliest of the pale pink semi precious stones. Real turmaline is a bit more costly than rose quartz al- ' though the two are often assumed to be the same thing. At present, carved bead chokers‘of rose quartz with large carved center stone to which the clasp is attached are the most popular type of c'liukers Rings set v. iili n>se quartz and bracelets made of rose quartz l beads are also to be found. Next in' preference to pink rose quartz jewelry are choakers and chains of solid 1 amthyst beads. ' Collie coats designed for wear as negligees or lounging robes, are to be important factors in Summer wardrobes. They are made of challis, either domestic or imported, and follow the 1 straight lines of the Japanese coolie coat with its wide kiomna sleeves. As' > I a rule the coolie coat extends only to the knees. Colorful round medallions are placed at the back between the shoulders and the sleeves are faced in color. Some of the American-made models are maed of heavy black satin embroidered in colors and trimmed in gold piping. For beach wear over bathing suits, models of black or navy cotton with white and red medallions ' at the rear are both effective and in- ' expensive. 0 Cat Returns Home After Its Execution London (United Press.)—A “dead” cat that apparently saved enough of its nine lives to walk home after being taken out of a lethal chamber was the subject of a recent, prosecu- ' turn by the Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals here. ' The cat had been sent by the own er to Our Dumb Friends League Home for painless destruction. The animal, according to the evidence, was placed in a lethal chamber for the necessary time and then removed to all outward appearances dead. The ’ cat was put; aside in preparation for the usual cat funeral, but not only ' did the “dead” walk, but the “dead” disappeared. The cat found its way home a week after its “death” and subsequently died in the garden. The home was fined sls and orderi ed to pay $22 costs for cruelty. , o 1 1 Hammond.—The “littlest man” who steals pennies from the blind has a . rival here in the man who stole a wheel chair from T.

HEALTH HINTS Children Should Avoid Infantile Paralysis By Joseph 8. Wasney (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, Mar. 26 —When infantile paralysis is prevalent keep children at. home and teach them how to avoid contact with others such as might give rise to infection, Dr. Hugh H. Cumming. U. 8. Surgeon General advises. “Infantile paralysis like other acute infections is caused by germs or bacteria,” Dr, Cumming said. “The terms act as direct’" poisons to the I tissues of the brain and of the spinal cord. They actually kill many large j nerve cells and when these cells die, 1 their function which is to furnish < nergy which moves certain parts of the body, stops. "Children under five years are mosts susceptible but the disease may occur at any age. To avoid it, it is most important to remember that the disease is most prevalent in the last summer and autumn months. That is due in all probability to the transfer < f secretions of the mouth and nose < f a sick or convalescent patient or of a healthy carrier to the. mouth or nose of a susceptible person, either by droplet infection as in coughing or sneezing or by a common drinking c up. or by the handling of such as balls, dolls, whistles, or other toys which might have been handled by an infected person or carrier.” Dr. Cumming said the disease can develop after exposure in from five to ten days. Persons suffering from in-| fantile paralysis, should remain in qarantine for at least six months as a protection to others. “The actual onset of the disease is usually very sudden,” ho continued. “There Is fever, there may be vomiting and in children there may be convulsions. “Paralysis, if present, occurs very early in the course of the disease and is greatest at that time. The most common form for the paralysis to assume is that of involvement of one leg—next after this is involvement of one arm and one leg, usually the opposite leg. I “The upper extremity most often affected is the shoulder muscles. There is a crumb of comfort In knowing that the initial paralysis is I the, maximum and that all subsequent change is toward improvement" i Dr. Cumming said that treatment for infantile paralysis should be rendered by a skilled physician. o EVANGELISM Spirit Os Evangelism Now Stronger Than Ever Wa ■’■’P i ;ton, ..£^...26. — (United Press' —With laymen under thedirec-l tion of their pastors playing the main part in evangelism, the old form of this method of worship, represented by tents and tabernacle meetings, has fallen into disuse, Dr. Charles Goodell, secretary of the Commission on Evangelism of the Federal Council of Churches, declared today. | “The spirit of evangelism,” said Goodell, “was seldom more prevalent in the church than now. The movement among men is specially significant. The new movement is taking the form of pastoral and personal evangelism.” Goodell has written a report on Evangelism which will be incorporated in a forthcoming edition of the "Handbook of Churches.” “The movement to deepen the devotional life of the churches, to have family' prayers in homes, and to bring the spirit of evangelism more largely in'o the whole system of Christian education, is one of the most hopeful things in connection with the present life of the church.” Goodell wrote. “The reports which are now coming from the churches indicate a general quickening of the church which is showing itself in increased additions to the church membership. Evangelism is to be stressed in the next few years as never before in recent years, with the ultimate purpose of an evangelistic appeal in every church in each communion." o Uncle Sam’s Whiskers Now Popular In Russia Moscow. —(United Press.) —Boards in the American manenr, meaning the short sprout of chin-adornment worn by Uncle Sam, are becoming popular in Russia. The wild and unkempt, whiskers have practicaly vanished except in the more remote villages and the modern Russians, though still generously whiskered, have tamed ' their facial decorations. Many Russian faces are entirely clean-shaven and barbers report a growing tendency away from the riotous whiskers of old.
