Comment On By HARMAN United P'M Washington (U.R) Flat footed boys now can play bask etball in compariftive comfort, thanks to a new shoe tnai has a built -in arch. The shoe, de veloped by the Vilson sport ing goods peo ple, has a sup port made out of heavy duck, which has a lot more Harm an Nichols bounce to the ounce. Not only that it lifts a tagging arch. Almost as good as the sponge in the toe of the thoe, which wards otf painful blisters w hi c h accumulate when a man stops too soon and too often in his tracks to take a set shot at the net. The Insole has a sponge run ning fore and aft and there is a bumper in the heel, for play ers who have a yen to rock and roll backward if instinct or the occasion demands. Dr. James Naismith, who in vented the game of putting a round sphere through a peach basket back there in the winter of 1891-92 had foresight, but he didn't know that half of his charges were flat-footed. , 1 Sor Feet They came down with sores undef-hoof. The good doctor got his idea when he was an instruc tor at the YMCA training school in Springfield, Mass., which now fs Springfield college. He wanted to keep the boys In shape in the long stretch be tween the football and the base ball season. He would have done right good, if it hadn't been for foot trouble. Many of the kids hit the hardwood of the playing floor barefoot. Splinters and the stepping on the toes by other hob-nailed lads nigh wrecked the whole program. The late Dr. Naismith would not recognize the game today. The0 new basketball suits today are of the gayest in color. Play ers no longer show up in public in their skivvies. The pants don't lace or button up the front. They pull on like a box- 7 41 Time - 10-20 . This and That W. NICHOLS Fwtar Wrii fighter's trunks. Expensive Sport Incidentally, it costs a pile of green to equip a basketball team these days. If you buy things by the dozen, you're lucky if ou get away with less than $10 for the pants, $15 for the jersey, and a heap more for the sweat suit, without which no self-respecting basketball player would appear in public for his warm up. Other sports, though, can be more expensive. Football, for one. Golf, according' to Nels Krueger, head of the Wilson op eration in this area, is really up there, too. But if you want to get into sports where equipment isn't much problem take up the run ning and jumping game track. You can get pants for 90 cents a pair and a shirt for 70 cents. Morse Says Campaign To Be Based on Fads Portland (U.R) Sen. Wayne More (D-Ore.) observed his 55th birthday two days early Tues day by lashing out at the Eisen hower administration and pre dicting that he will be reelected in 1956 after waging a vigorous campaign based "on the facts." Morse told regional CIO lead ers at a birthday luncheon here that his campaign manager would be a woman Mrs. Jean L. Lewis. The Oregon Democrat said some of the issues of his cam paign would be the farm prob lem, the question of federal tim ber land management, the "dan gerous" Formosa resolution, the Tidelands oil "give-away" and the 'Dixon-Yates controversy. "Powerful forces across the country will try to defeat me," Morse said, "but I'm going to face one issue after another and take the fats to the people." Portland (U.R) The Port land city council has approved unanimously a motion to deny an extension of Portland Trac tion Company's franchise to op erate a 'mass transit system in the city.

Arrange Group Parties As Subtle Dutch Treats Dating can be very expensive for teen-age boys. Should girls pay their own way, if it means more dates for them? (Q) "We are a group of high school juniors. Like most girls cur age, we like parties and dates. The problem is thai most of the boys haven't enough money to take us out on dates more than once a week. My friends and I wonder, if we Herloek couldn't have more fun and go on more dates if we offered to have 'Dutch treat' dates by pay ing our own way to movies, football games, and dances. Our parents say this is not correct and they object to it. Most of us earn money by baby-sitting and go to movies together anyway, so why not spend the money to go with the boys? We don't, of course, want the boys io think we are chasing them, but we don't want to sit home or go out with girls when we could have more dates." N.A. (A) I agree with your parents that you might readily create the impression that you were "chasing" the boys if you sug gested paying your way on dates. However, you can be more subtle and achieve the same re sults. You could organize little parties for movies, dances, or games. All of you could chip in the money you earn for baby sitting and buy tickets, provide food for snacks afterwards, and perhaps even arrange to have your parents drive the group to where you were going to save transportation costs. It would be perfectly proper to invite several boys to go out to a "movie party" or a "foot ball party" this way and this would eliminate all the embar rassment of "Dutch treats." If your parents will cooperate you can have a gay time. COPYRIGHT 1955. GENERAL FEATURES CORP.) There are 254 counties in the state of Texas. Dr. On The Side (Distributed by Kiaf "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" is a song I never grow weary of hearing. The same is true of "Among My Souvenirs," "Some Enchanted Evening," "Dearie," "Can't You Hear Me Calling Caroline," and several others. Also, I have favorite books I read again and again. As for ex ample, "Trilby," which I have read 38 times. If I like a musi cal show I go to see it a number of times. And enjoy it every time. That's how I happened to wander in to see "Silk Stock ings" again. That is by my fav orite words and music man. Cole Porter. In the cast are my high ly versatile young friend, Don Ameche, and that brilliant, beau tiful blande of the bombshell type, Hildegarde Neff.

Q Ac cording to your Horses and Wo men experts, with whose opin ion you concur, no woman with a 28-inch waist can hope to win a bathing beauty contest, be come a model or be named one of the ten best dressed women in her city. Marilyn Monroe has a 28-inch waist. Now what have you and your experts have to say? A Our opinion is as orig inally claimed. Miss Monroe has never won a bathing beauty contest. She hasn't the figure for a model. She has never been named as one of the best dressed actresses. Her 28-inch waist measurement is not so noticeable because she has a 38 inch bust. We repeat, the maxi mum waist measurement for those aspiring to win Miss or Mrs. America titles, become models or achieve recognition for being smartly attired is 25. Twenty - four is preferable. Twenty - three is still better. Remarkable Athletes Among ; ballplayers of the "Little League" type, the best hitter in the country is Nelson Gary Jr., of Sherman Oaks, Cal. His current batting average is .442. Nelson has only one arm. His inspiration for becoming a ballplayer was Pete Gray, the one armed major leaguer. Speaking of one armed ballplay ers, I believe Commercial H. S. (now Alexander Hamilton high) in Brooklyn once had a very effective one armed pitcher named Martin. That Prediction Where in the Bible is it fore- Nyssa Reports Four New Cases of Polio Nyssa, Qre. (U.R) Hopes for an end to Malheur county's 1955 polio epidemic were shat tered yesterday with report of four new cases, all in Nyssa. One of the victims was 11-year-old Roger Maulding, son of Dr. and Mrs. L. A. Maulding. Dr. Maulding is former county health officer and he had him self suffered from polio. The other cases involved 5, 6, and 12-year-old boys. The 12-year-old had a bulbar type polio with minimum paralysis. He was taken to St. Lukes hospital in Boise. The others, with only mild paralysis, were being treat ed at home. The cases brought Malheur county's total to 31 for the year with 27 reported since Aug. 15. There have been two deaths. By E. V. Durling fwm Syndicate. Inc.) told that the end of the world will be brought about by an at om bomb, or an atomic explo sion? This query is continually put to this department. I have never expressed a belief that there is such a prediction in the Bible. However, many Biblical students have. They say such a prediction appears in several parts of the Bible, most notice ably in II Peter 3:10, as follows: "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." Get It Right What is genuine mahogany? Many women who consider themselves well informed on the matter of furnishing a house can't answer that question. The answer is that genuine mahog any grows only in the West In dies, tropical America and the west coast of Africa. Passing By Lena Home. Outstandingly successful chanteuse of Brook lyn.

Eisenhower, Dulles' Share Geneva Hope Denver (U.R) Secretary of State John Foster Dulles re ported after a conference with President Eisenhower yesterday that he and the chief executive had shared a "measured hope" for concrete achievements from the forthcoming Big Four for eign ministers meeting in Ge neva. Dulles, following a 25-minute session at the President's bedside at Fitzsimons'Army hospital said he expected no "spectacular re sults" from Geneva but that "any results at all would mark an advance on most if not all of our prior conferences with the Soviet Union." Dulles covered the Geneva agenda again with Mr. Eisenhow er and reported that the Presi dent was pleased that he, Dulles, planned to stop in Rome for brief conferences with top Ital ian leaders before going on to the foreign ministers conference.

"I feel dreadful about his death," the actress said at her Beverly Hills home. "He was far, far- more a brilliant, sensitive artist than anybody in this world knew. "He had a simple credo. He never wanted to hurt anybody, or anything, and he never did. "I admired him and I always will." Miss Baxter was telephoned the news of Hodiak s death as she worked on. a movie location at Laguna Beach. She returned immediately here to be ' with their daughter, Katrine, 4. Aerial Camera 'Third. . Eye' for Tax Assessors Fort Worth, Tex. (U.R) Rob ert G. Cherry, a Texas A. & M College professor and tax expert, says the aerial camera is a "third eye" for tax assessors. Property the assessor misses shows up in aerial maps, he told a meeting of assessors. He said an aerial picture recently turn ed up in East Texas a 1,600- acre tract that hadn't been taxed in 100 years. These maps, Cherry said, -can be bought cheaply from the fed eral government.
