An Allergy Caused by Shoes

By MERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.Di - THERE are people formerly thought to have ringworm | or ■ athlete** foot who are probably Buffering from a form of allergy to their shoes. An allergy or abnormal sensitivity to any special kind of fabric in the clothe* is usually not 'tod hard to detect. It can be relieved by eliminating that fabric. . . Isn’t Suspected - ' In i the case of the shoes, however, an allergy may remain a mystery for some time. People Just! don’t suspect it, because eruptions or rashes on the skin -of the feet, while very troublesome, are also quite common. Most people who have any Wind of sash on the foot wrongly treat themselves for many months before seeking medical aid. \j ; ■ Os course, the most skih disorders of the foot are from ringworm or athlete’s foot. There is a tendency to blame all such rashes or eruptiqns on athlete’s foot. I Adhesive Materia! Guilty . Recently it has been shown that many skin rashes that are diagnosed end treated as fungus infectioe* are really due to some form of skin irritation caused by an allergy to the shoes. It seems that the adhesive material in the 1 shoe lining, which is made of a rubbery substance, has caused many cases of foot rash td occur, In one test, patients with rashes of the feet were given a pair of shoes to wear which were identical except that one shoe was not lined this rubbery adhesive material. The foot in th# shoo without the adhesive mate-: rial did not break out.. '< • • ’ : '' Xr-" ■ ■ _■; ' • ' ; \ .'' v ' ’ ' ' ■ li

Would Sen. Taft have won as Republican candidate for president, is a question asked frequently, but of course cannot be answered, for he didn’t have the chance of leading the GOP ticket? In Taft’s home state of Ohio, his brother, Charles Taft Was defeated for governor, by a margin almost as large aS that given Gen. Eisenhower over Gov. Stevenson. If the landslide was in the making, regardless of the candidate, Taft might have been elected. - However, most observers agree that |ke’s popularity caused the . ground swell that upset the Democrats. ■ ! - o o ' ■ i . : ■'•jl ■ i " Nearly all of the 2,600,000 fed- ' - '■!;! ■ . I- i' eral employes are under civil service and cannot be removed from their jobs. At least thCy will have preference for other appointi ments, if laid off from current . employment. Rather than a reduction of the federal payroll, the country may see an expansion in Order to provide jobs for those who think they have earned a place in. government service because of the change in administration. No congressman campaigned on firing of federal employes, knowing full well that back borne the “faithful” would want a place at a. Washington desk, in case he won. 11 c o 1 Geneva and Adams county resi.dents are hopeful that positive steps will be taken next year toward establishing a State park in area > following Governor-elect George N. Craig’s pledge to the people to develop the proposed project. County enthusiasts for the state park, lead by Earl Dawaid, Geneva attorney others, have done much to further the LimbCrlost cause. Their plan is to have the ; state establish a park in the area, made famous .by the writings of Gene Strhtton Porter and me morializing her nature book work. As a candidate for election, Mr. Craig expressed deep interest in . the project * and said he would give it his wholehearted cooperation. He said, ’’This part of the state 1 (Limberlostj does not have . 'its share of state parks.” On that score,, residents in this part of the state agree unanimously with the governor-elect.

When a person has a skin eruption due to shoes, it is usually possible to discover one or more pairs Os shoes that seem to be responsible. These are the ones with the guilty material. ;.\ More Blisters As a rule, this type of rash is not just between the toes, as in the early stages of athlete’s foot. There are usually many small blisters on the soles of the foot, and the skin is red and watery. This rubbery adhesive is also known to cause skin rashes in Workers who make shoes. * Usually a definite test for this allergy can be made by taking a patch from the lining of the shoe and placing it elsewhere on the skin to see if it causes any allergic reactions. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS K. H.: I have been told I have Stones in my urinary bladder. Can you tell me something about this disorder? Answer: Stones in the urinary 1 bladder usually occur following Stones in. the kidney. They are generally more common in men, and may reach a great size. Stones may be present in the bladder without giving any symptoms, but the patient may complain about burning and frequency of urination. Bipod may be \ present after the person ha* finished urinating. Q |' X-rays or an internal examination of the bladder will, as a rule, make the diagnosis of stones definite. Usually, these stones are removed by' crushing them with a special instrument Introduced into the bladder., i . r 1. ■' ■ ■ I ; ■ ■. | FIF - ’ •

\ CHAPTER ONE EMILY THAYER stood beside the Christmas tree in the drawing room of the old Forbes house in Louisburg Square, looking out at the candle-lighted windows across the park and listening to the carolers who came stamping through the snow. At least, this was what she appeared to be doing. As a matter of fact, she was hardly conscious of the illuminations or of the hearty songs; she was watching for Roger Field, who had promised to drop in at her grandmother’s house sometime during the course of the evening, and who was later than she expected. She was almost sure that he meant to propose to her that night and she had made up her mind to accept him, though she knew that such a decision would be far from pleasing to her parents, her grandmother and Homer Lathrop, the old family friend who acted as trustee for the substantial fund her grandfather had left her. Not that her parents and Homer . Lathrop disliked or disapproved of Roger Field; they could not very wen help admitting that socially the Fields’ standing was equal to that of the Forbes’ and the Thayers’, eves though financially it was not: and they had already told her, Separately and collectively, that they “had nothing against Roger.” Bpt this, Emily knew, was damning with faint praise. Her elders never mentioned anything that was actually in his favor; and, every now and then, they made some fifc lusion to the fact that his father had never set the world on fire, implying that the ability to do this was more or less requisite in a suitor, and that there was a strong family resemblance between the late Mr. Field and his only son. Emily turned and saw her suitor coming up the front steps. The Street fight shone on Roger Field’s earnest face and thin figure, and, as Emily threw open the door for him, the smile with Which he greeted gave Ms. expression gudden animation elusive charm. “How nice of you to let me in yourself! How did you guess exactly when I’d get her?” "I didn’t* I’ve been watching for you.” “Why, that’s nicer still! It’s wonderful. Only I’m afraid you've had a long wait. I’d no idea'l’d be; so late. I’m awfully sorry.” “It didn’t matter. That is, I enjoyed looking at the lights and listening to the carolers while 1 waited.” No—l ought to have telephoned. Caroline was alone and I didn’t like to leave her on Christmas Eve. I thought she’d go to her room

But tonight she started talking and — well, there just didn’t seem to be any good place to interrupt, for quite a while.” While they were talking, Roger had taken oft his overcoat, folded It carefully, and placed it on a chair in the hall with his hat and gloves neatly laid on top Os 'itThen, smoothing down his unruffled hair, he‘followed Emily into the drawing room. “Do We really have this afi to ourselves? How did you manage?” “The others are in the library. Uncle Homer was here until a moment ago, trying to get me up there, too. He said Grandmamma seat him for me. But I don’t feel so sure.” . !■' Emily had walked back to the bay window. Now, instead of standing beside it, close to the Christmas tree, as she had before, she sat down on a love seat which she had previously moved from its traditional position by the fireplace. He nad seated himself beside her, and now, very quietly, he took her hand. \ ,

“He knows Pm to love with you, Emily, and he knows there Isn’t any real reason why I shouldn’t tell you so.

But when he says •good enough,' he isn't thinking of character, the way you and I would ! be. He’s thinking of money and power and prestige. They don’t i think it matters that I’ve loved you all my life,” Roger went on. “But, thank God, I’ve had a break at last! I’ve finally had a chance to ask you to marry me!" He jumped up, pulling her to her feet with him. Then he drew her 1 toward him and looked searchingly , down at her.

She’ extended a hand that was stitt comely to spite of its fleshiness ana which set off its superb ringswell.

Housing Problem Is Serious In Decatur

Since 1940, Decatur’s housing problem has been getting steadily Wbrse! to the point where soon a situation approaching desperate proportions may be faced, it was learned today through interviews with Individuals familiar with housing problems lb the city. Twenty years ago a house of a commodious sHe could be purchased for as little as $4,000, and in many cases much less. That same house today easily could command $12,000, they say. It is quite true that the tremendous rise In the cost of living would account for that difference, but the seriousness of the situation lies not so much with the cost —since people* are making more money in proportion —but with the availability of developed building llots. Said !, one individual acquainted with the problem; “Decatur is dry of developed lots; there’s no place to build.’’ The last mass development in Decatur was the 1 Stratton addition. As it turned out, Stratton has provided builders with some of the Ipveliest building sites in Decatur. The answer to that particular problem seems to He in mass development: Individuals are not prepared to spend great sums of money for the development of land, let *lone the bare building of a house on the property once it is rejyiy for occupancy. A solution seen as equitable is a corporation consisting of rqal estate interests in town. To do Ahe job at l*ast SIOO,OOO would ,have to be spent. This could be done. The drawback to real estate men is that it would be long range; a return could not be immediately expected. I Where formerly housing loans were made in the city by insurance firms, the local bank, The First State Bank, has taken over the chore. All the cither outfits have pulled out. Os course, the F. H.*A. continues to back loans but only for mere pittances of what property costs these Mays. Their loans run something l|ke $7,000. What is required is to 20 thousand dollars for a dwelling. Building k house is all very well and good, but there must first be a place to bull'd them. Strelets, sewers, electricity, level and fairly high ground. These are the things which confront the prospective house builders. The populaitibn of Decatur has risen 1,500 persons since" 1940 and housing is now serious. If the trend increases the situation can-

not help but grow mdre serious or even critics! if the tot development problem Is not dealt with at least on the planning stage, the housing prospector haid. J Luckily, the Central Soya Co., an enormous business with hundreds or workers, has taken Its own problem In hand and formed the McMillen Housebuilding Corporation to build houses for Its own employes and their families. If the corporation had not been so farsighted one can only speculate on the situation that might now exist* General Electric, another large employer in the city, recruits its workers from Adams county, nearby towns in Ohio and other farflung towns and cities. It is not beyond conception co envisage these workers moving In to Deca>tur provided there was a place to comfortably house them. And, of course, the lack of mass housing facilities, or even apartment houses, is a deterrent to industries which are considering Deciatur for their home. Thus far'this has not happened, but It could happen; there must be a place forpeople to live. i —i \ W VT INMHWHM New Address Roger Cole has * new address, which is A/B Roger Cole, AF 16428460, Flight 1224.
