get seats, in the same car, and then had to get tough to find
parking apace anywhere. No help from the brakeman, who

the brakey refused to -order them cleared, and we had to mill
through the entire train before we finally edged, in four single

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

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

the feet, la' formaldehyde. Formalde
hyde Is strong stuff and will burn

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Psoriasis.
Please give some suggestions for
persistent psoriasis. I have had it
for about 16 years and sometimes It
seems almost cleared up, but always
comes back. (T. S. B.)
Answer Best sugestlons I can of
fer are (1) Sunbaths; (3) Large dally
ration of vitamin D; (3) Diet to In
clude plenty of fruits, nuts and fresh
vegetables, milk and all kinds of
cheese; (4) In certain cases where
metabolism Is slow, medication with
ductless gland hormones supervised
by the physician, (5) light x-ray
treatments by skilled radiologist.
Lime Water.
Is lime water helpful for the pres
ervation of the teeth? If so, how la It
taken? My hair Is slowly receding
and my teeth cause me considerable
trouble. (H. D. D.)
Answer More lime In a quart of
milk or an ordinary helping of cheese
or a plate of beans or a generous dish
of cole slaw than there la In a quart
of lime water. Food lime (calcium)
more likely to be assimilable - than
the lime tn lime water. Adequate
calcium assimilation essential for
good teeth.- Adequate dally Intake
of vitamin D essential for calcium
utilization. Aside from suplement

Comment
on the
Day s News
By FRANK JENKINS - -
SENATOR GUPTEY of Pennsylvania,
In a .n,-H rillaraH .h Mliw
day, read out of the Democratic party
the senators who fought against and
voted against the R'osevelt scheme
to mske a rubber stamp ot the su
preme court.. - -Then,,
he .made this remarkable
statement:
' "I was elected to the United
States senate ln 1934 because I '
assured the voters of Pennsyl
vania that It was my Intention
to support loyally and without
wavering the program of the chief
executive (President Roosevelt.)"
N other words, everything that
Roosevelt wants Quffey la pledged
to vote for. No questioning. No de
bate. No consulting with his people
back home. No independent opin
ions. Just faithfully taking orders. What
ever the President wants, Guffey Is
resdy to put his rubber stamp on.
ewaHIB question Immediately arises:
If he la to have no mind of his
own, but Is merely to bark admir
ingly and wag his tall whenever the
master speaks, why doesn't he RE
SIGN and save the taxpayers $10,000
a year and perquisites?
Why pay a senator S10.000 a year
to say "yes" when a parrot can be
taught to do It for nothing?

AS a result of having too many
- yes-men ln congress during the
past four years, the national debt
has Just climbed above the 37 BIL
LION DOLLAR level, which repre
sents a debt for every person ln the
country of about $285.
If you have a wife and two chil
dren, which la approximately the nor
mal family, YOUR SHARE of the na
tional debt Is $1140.
rON'T let the politicians tell you
that you'll never pay thla debt,
or any part of It that the big shots
will have to pay It all.
You're helping to pay it RIGHT
NOW In the form of higher prices for
everything you buy.
You'll GO ON helping to pay It.
rvEBT has to be paid or it has to
be REPUDIATED, and when It
comes 'to paying, EVERYBODY has
to help.

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.

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.

Not long ago Gable waa confronted
with a mob of women similar to that
which disconcerted Taylor at Kansas
City. When the veteran Gable saw
the ladles were bent on snatching
pieces of cloth from hla coat, he un
buttoned It and, with a big grin
threw it to them.
They tore It to pieces ln less time
than It takes to tell about tt, but
Gable figured a new coat was a small
price to pay for the allegiance of
the hundreds of women who get
pieces of the old ones.
