He must have been something other than a gallant general, or he wouldn’t have gotten into the current mess of trouble. He should be pensioned, but not by the army. o o A couple years ago many laughed at the idea that employment could be provided to 60 million people in this country. Now that number is employed and Erie, Pennsylvania, announces that it still has 1,500 jobs which cannot be filled. The truth is that few of us realize that we are living in the greatest and fastest growing country in the world. o o In Denver, Colo., a war veteran started to put an ad in the classified section of the Post. He was startled to have the newspaper's advertising director step up to him and hand him a SSO bill. It was a “bonus" the veteran drew because his ad had the luck to be the millionth placed this year in the paper's classified pages. In the case of the Denver newspaper, the millionth ad was reached seven weeks earlier this year than last. So in every way it must pay to advertise! o o The food conservation program is getting results and Charles LUckman, able young business man who headed the Citizens Food Committee, will step out of the national * organization and resume his job as head of the large soap companies. If economy is used and waste is eliminated, Americans need not deprive themselves of one bit of food, for there is more here than 140 million people can consume. 0 0 Churches of different denominations are conducting a nation-wide campaign to gather food and clothing for the hungry and needy in Europe, and in support of the President's program to aid those in distress. In many localities these drives will be made over the Thanksgiving week-end, under the slogan, “Give Thanks by Giving.” There could not be a better reason for Americans to share some of their bountiful blessings with less

What Causes Foot Trouble

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. WOMEN are often said to invite foot trouble by the shoes they ■wear. Whether this is true or not, the fact remains that painful feet are far more common among women than men. A great many women have the idea that their feet would be “all right’’ if only they could get rid of certain bunions, calluses, or corns, and the doctor often has difficulty in explaining to them that, like pain, all such things are the result of foot strain and not the cause of it. Thus, the first step in the treatment of aching feet is to find the cause of the strain. Far more often than most people realize, strain and, hence, pain are due to some inherited abnormality In the structure of the feet. Among these abnormalities, perhaps the first in importance is shortness of the first metatarsal hone. The metatarsal bones are those just behind the toes. Sometimes, what are known as sesamoid hones are present in the foot. These are loose bits of bone, but just why they develop is not known. Another abnormality is a short heel cord. This causes the ankle bone to turn outward. If the first metatarsal bone *is short or is not retained in the normal position, the ankle bone may roll inward and the foot may turn outward. In such cases, the arches of the feet may be high. An X-ray of the feet, taken from the side, will help to show theae various apnO.'Uiaiitias. Ospte is at* - nermsl condition is detected th® £est treatment can be carried out

fortunate people of the world. o o—— —— The big city newspapers are having their troubles because of slow-downs in > their composing rooms as an outgrowth of differences with the union printers. Press schedules have been delayed by hours and if anything disrupts the smooth running of a newspaper, it is delays in going to press. The trouble may grow worse, before it gets better and metropolitan readers may have to forego their /avorite paper at the breakfast or supper table. • ' , V i iJu --r. 0 0 Conscientious and honest General Omar Bradley will succeed General Eisenhower as Army Chief of Staff, when the latter's resignation becomes effective after the first of the year. Bradley is of the caliber of his immediate predecessor, whom the nation respects as one of its able public servants. General Bradley revamped the Veteran’s Administration in a Way that turned sordiness into glorious service for the gallant men who were entitled to the best the country could give them. Americans agree that President Truman could not have selected a better man for the post. General Carl R. Gray, of whom little is known, but who noj doubt was selected for his ability will succeed Bradley as head of the Veterans’ Administration. o o As Goes New York: The next presidential election may be decided by the votes of two parties whose mere names are hardly known outside of the state; in which they flourish. These are New York’s American Labor and Liberal parties, both composed of parts of President Roosevelt's great following which did not care for the New York City Democratic leadership. They have developed considerable strength, most of it concentrated in Greater New York. In 1944 President Roosevelt’s vote on the American Labor ticket was 496,405, and on the Liberal ticket 339,235. As his plurality in the state was only 417,000, it is easy to see how greatly .these secondary parties helped him. Without the Roosevelt name at their head both parties fell off in the governorship election in 1946. But the American Labor party polled 425,000 votes and the Liberals 180,000, masses of votes well worth having. The Liberals are expected to support President Truman. The American Labor party's decision is unknown. On what these two parties do, New York's vote may depend, and it has often happened that as New York goes, so goes the i nation.

Treatment, of course, includes i the wearing of the proper shoe. This should be a wide, flexible shoe , with a narrowed-in portion around the heel. The heel of the shoe should not be more than one and one-half Inches high. A felt, rubber, or soft leather pad may be put in the front part of the shoe to give support to the first metatarsal bone. Heat, massage, and stretching exercises will increase the flexibility of the feet, and help to overcome pain and other symptoms. Bunions, if they are present, may be removed surgically. Many of these defects in the feet can be detected in infancy. In treating some of them, it may be necessary to put on a cast which is worn for several months. If the condition is severe, it may be necessary for the cast to be worn until the proper kind of shoe can be fitted. Os course, the longer these foot defects are allowed to continue untreated, the worse the foot strain becomes, and the more difficult it is to correct the condition later on. Hence, it is important that the baby’s feet be carefully examined and, if there is any indication of abnormalities, X-rays should be taken. Later on in life, the person must take care to wear the proper shoes, so that foot strain may be completely prevented. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS V. O.

SYNOPSIS Alison Van Dyke comes to Washington to live with Teresa, her ambitious, domineering half-sister, following the death of their mother, Kitty, in Vermont. Four years before Teresa, • highly successful interior decorator, had married Sam Tarrant, quiet, idealistic newspaperman, but the marriage had ended in divorce the following year shortly after the birth of their daughter Suzy. Alison, who was 16 at the time of the wedding, knew the Instant she met Sam that he was the only man she would ever love. Teresa was not at home when Alison arrived, but to her great joy, Sam was there enjoying his weekly visit with his small daughter. He explained that since his discharge from the army he has been operating the newspaper and farm in nearby Virginia which his late father left him. He confided his worry over Suzy, a rhy, nervous child who became so upset when introduced to Alison, her nurse. Miss Winstead, was forced to take her from the room. Teresa came in shortly after Sam’s departure and, upon learning of his visit, expressed annoyance. CHAPTER NINE Sam had intimated that something would have to be done about Suzy and now Teresa was saying that something would have to be done about Sam. No doubt Suzy hadn’t slept after one of Sam’s visits because she’d had so much fun. Alison said, “But with a newspaper and a farm I don’t suppose he always knows when he can get away. He just comes when he can.” Speaking of Sam came so naturally. She wished she could go on talking about him, thinking aloud about him. Teresa’s face closed as if a shutter had been drawn around it. "We never talk about him here, Alison. And I think it’s best you know at the outset that his name is never mentioned in this house.” Didn’t Suzy call him, "Daddy”? What did she call him if she didn’t call him “Daddy” ? And what had precipitated Sam and Teresa’s divorce? What had happened to their marriage? Who had been at fault? Would these questions gather dust before she knew the Answers ? Teresa said, “I always go up and play with Suzy after dinner.” “Do you ever read to her? I’d love to read to her after she gets to know me better.” Teresa’s smile belittled the suggestion. “And have her dream all jnight about the bears pursuing Goldilocks and the big bad wolf (trying to eat the three little pigs? ghe's had nightmares. §he’s gan-

sitive and has far too much imagination. But she is such a darling, isn't she? I’m bringing her up far differently from the way you and I were brought up.” She drew in her shoulders, a gesture of distaste. “How I loathed that Bohemianism, that living from hand to mouth, that here today and gone tomorrow attitude, the total lack of security.” “But you lived most of your early life in Vermont with grandfather.”

Teresa closed her eyes momentarily and said vehemently, “That was Bohemianism in reverse! But Suzy will never live either way. That’s why I work so hard, to give her all the things I didn’t have. She is my whole world.” "May I go up with you when you go up to play with her?” “Not until she knows you better. But of course you must never disobey Winnie’s instructions. I had a ghastly time finding the proper person. You’ve had a long trip. Why don’t you get into a warm tub and then into bed with a book ? Tomorrow I’ll have my secretary get all the information you’ll want about business schools? I’m glad you don’t want to waste your time. College did a Jot for you. You’ve improved tremendously. You’re not in love with anyone, are you?” “I’m not quite sure yet.” Teresa laughed. “You sound as though you're experimenting with the idea.” “I’m young and normal and once or twice I thought I was in love. But they didn’t wear well. Like sand running out of the hour glass. All my nice thoughts and feelings gone.” Teresa leaned forward. “What do you really want to do, Alison? What do you want to be?” “I want to get married and be a man’s wife.” Teresa’s words were 'like an explosion. “You want to be dependent upon a man all your life? Like mother? She’s a classic example of a woman dependent upon men for her happiness. You disappoint me with a Statement like that. I thought you had some ambition.” Alison's eyes were warm and direct. “If either of mother’s husbands had lived, she’d have had a happy life. She loved them both. I'm an ordinary girl, Teresa. I just have to be me. Is it so awful to admit you want to fall in love and get married? Are—are you in love with anyone?” The nerves in Teresa’s face tightened. “Ct course not. I’ve put all of that out of ay life for-

Chicago Printers Threatening Strike Unions Refusing To Sign New Contract Chicago, Nov. 24. —(UP) —Compositors employed by Chicago’s six dally newspapers threatened to take a strike ballot tonight unless employers grant them wage increases Without signing a new labor contract. The Chicago Newspaper Publishers Association denied that wages were an issue in the dispute. Association secretary John F. Ct-Keefe said the sole issue was whether the union shall win its aim of posting “conditions of employment” or sign a new contract. John J. Pilch, president of Chicago local 16, International Typographical Union, said the printers Would vote from 6 to 8 p.m. Results will be handed to shop chairmen as soon as they are tabulated. He said the printers may walk out immediately if the results favor a strike and if the employers have not agreed verbally to the Wage boosts. The compositors demanded SIOO for day and night workers, compared to a present $85.50 a week, and $lO6 for early morning workers, compared to a present rate of s9l. Day and night workers work 364 s hours a week. Early morning workers are on a 30-hour week. The local voted 1,672 to 12 at a meeting yesterday to ask the International Union’s execuptive board for permission to take a strike vote. Members of the executive board, including international president Woodruff Randolph, were present and granted the permission immediately. Randolph told the compositors that the dispute here Was the national battleground for the ITU’s program of refusing to sign labor contracts. Under the Taft-Hart-ley law, the ITU would lose the right to closed shops and other traditional benefits, if it signed contracts. It hopes to maintain those benefits by posting “conditions of employment” in each shop instead of signing the contracts. Randolph said the Chicago dispute was “a special case because the publishers are so chummy here.” “Somehow they will put out newspapers—by one means or another,” he said. “But the public won’t stand for that kind of newspaper for very long.”

ever ... I have my child . . ." Rising, she said, "I’m going up to see her now, if you’ll excuse me. I think you’ll find your room very comfortable, darling." Alison followed her into the living room. In the doorway Teresa paused and looked back. For an instant she looked disarmingly young and helpless and appealing, the shutter removed from her face, her proud defenses down, her face rinsed with innocence. “Do you find Sam attractive?” she asked. Alison looked up from the magazine she had picked up from the table. Her loose hair tumbled about her face. The truth, she thought. Why can’t I tell the truth? The difference between Teresa and me is still appalling. She makes me feel like something with the seams unfinished. “I find him very attractive, Teresa Do you mind?” Teresa debated the answer. Finally she shrugged eloquently. “Os course not. Why should I? Our divorce was perfectly legal. He's free.” But she didn’t sound quite convincing. She went up the steps before Alison could ask her if Edna Castine and Philip Spencer were still her friends. She wanted to ask her sometime, too, about their sister, Nicola. She hadn’t forgotten her either, the one who looked as if she cared only for clothes and laughter and men. • • • A week of living in the house in Georgetown revealed to Alison several interesting facts. First, there was Teresa’s Spartan existence. If Teresa had been less striking and less desirable as a woman, then Alison would have better understood her sister’s total immersion in business. As it was it seemed to her that much of Teresa that would give pleasure to herself as well as to others was being wasted —or perhaps dammed up. Teresa’s great vitality and her restlessness suggested, in fact, the latter. During her evenings at home she was constantly in motion—getting up to change the radio program, to look in the desk for a letter that had to be answered, to get a book or a magazine that failed to hold her attention, to straighten a crooked lampshade, all sorts of little things to absorb her seemingly inexhaustible energy. Conscious of Suzy, Alison thought that Teresa could give herself better 13 other direction*. (To &e Continued)
