" ; ' Trench foot, athlete's foot, foot Itch, ringworm, tiicophytosls, derma - tomycoela, tinea, waa one of the moat common aubjecta of Inquiry -a lew years ago.

I Infer that people are avoid ing exposure by taking the rou ble to wear slip pers or other foot covering ' when walking about the floor of swimming .pool places, gym nasi urns, hotel rooms. bath establish men ta or when walking on the ground at beaches or wherever people go barefoot. Probably the gen eral practice of requiring patrons, of such places to step Into a footbath of one or another paraaltlsldal or funlglcldal solution has helped to re- duce the prevalence of foot Itch. - The condition Is due to the growth of a fungus In the skin. - Thla fungus Is present In fine scales that drop off from the affected skin. The scales readily convey the fungus to the skin of the next person to tread on the spot barefoot. The fungus may live In the lining of the shoe or In the stocking foi daya, weeks or months. Whenever any treatment Is applied for the relief or cure of foot Itch, It Is necessary to treat the linings of all shoes that have been worn since contracting the disease. If this Is n6t done, reinfection Is quite likely. Reinfection may occur when shoes are worn again after an Interval . of several months say some white shoes put away at the end of a summer season and worn -again the next sea son. One good fungicide for the lining of shoes la plain gasoline (not fancy stuff). Pour an ounce or two in each ahoe, swish It about to moisten the whole lining of the toes particu larly, and drain It Into the next shoe, and then set the shoea In an open air place to dry. Another good fungicide, which la also excellent for correcting foul odor when- there la excessive sweating of the feet, la' formaldehyde. Formalde hyde Is strong stuff and will burn and Irritate the skin If applied un diluted. The standard Formaldehyde Solution (Liquor Formaldehydum) contains about 37 percent of formal dehyde, Is a strong germicide, dlaln- j fectant and preservative. One ounce y-QO.Mclntvre 7 . , 6" .

Robert Taylor Scared By Throngs of Women After Kisses, Buttons By FREDEBICK O. OTHMAN HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 27, (UP) When Robert Taylor sees aouple of thousand rouged lips pursed up to kiss him all at once! he gets scared and scrams. That's why his last Jump across the continent was a series of Incidents, which Included boos and big black headlines, the head men at M-O-M said today. What If you were a good looking guy and a movie star to boot (they asked) and a thousand determined women galloped across the airport to your plane, bent on getting a button from your coat, your autograph, and the feel of your lips on theirs? Would you stay there and let your public maul your Or would you beat It? Jack Cummlnga, who produced "Broadway Melody,' Taylor's latest picture, said the studio wasn't wor ried about the bad press he received on his way to sail for Europe. "They can boo. If tbey want," he said,-"but tbey did turn out to do It, which was something. It's when one of our actors gets no crowds, no boos, no nothing, that we begin to worry." Recalling the troubles that Clark Gable has had wltb his feminine ad mirers, Cummlnga said he believed that as Taylor grows older he will be able to handle his fans as grace fully as Gable does. Behind Washington Headlines By H. R. Baukhage Copyright 1937, by The North American News paper Alliance, Ine. (Continued from Page One) doubtedly have to be some amenda tory legislation to the shipping act If It'a to prove workable. Therefore. Mr. Kennedy may be called to give his testimony before a congressional committee. One thing that congress will prob ably be asked to settle Is the ques tion of the down payment which owners have to make on new ships bought with the assistance of the government. They now have to put up 35 percent of the domestic c.;st. Since most of the lines claim to be broke, their officials want to pay 35 percent based on foreign cost figures, which, of course, would be much lower. A second snd far knottier prob lem congress may not even dare tackle. Needless to say, It's the labor question; specifically, the responsibil ity of the commission, under the maritime act. for setting the mini mum wage of maritime workers and the manning of ships. The nation has a stake in our maritime Industry," says tr. Ken nedy, "which transcends the claims of labor or capital." But try to "translate that Into leg islation these daysl Mr. Kennedy's sentiment might be Interpreted: Let the commission ar bitrarily fix wages. As tt is. t ho unions object to the naming of even a minimum wage because they say.lt might be con sidered as the maximum as well. If they didn't like It, they'd bave to strike. If they struck, the public (and the operators) would say. "See here, the government put In a lot of time and studying deriding on this wage. It must be reasonable." On the other hand, the operators bave no objection to a minimum wage, but they want It set st the present prevailing wage. They say that, li the workers don't like It, they can settle the question through col lective bargaining. Of course, the ship owners aren't greatly concerned on the point, since the government would have to make up the wage differential anyhow. In the long run. But they dont want to raise the standard of payment which their un subsldlzed colleagues might have to meet. To accept the dictum of the owners on this point would be fine fuel for the CJ.O.-A.F. of L. row. which has already been Injected into the com mission's affairs. The "prevailing wage," perpetuated by contracts agreed to by the sea men'a union (AP. of L). has been the cause of much disaffection in the union's ranks and hae created new recruit for CJ.O. But the final disposition of these controversial and other matters Mr. Kennedy will probably leave wltn hla successor. Alter all, his Job was to see the merchant marine blue printed not christened, launched and float ing the seven seas. Pressure on t h nrmtMen, r ...... the sugar bill establishing quotas' for Importation from outside th imn. can mainland reached one of the all- ume nigns In lobbying.
