LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or callus so 1t lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes size smaller IL you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
Or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
II your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

Measure Giving Control of

Goes to Conference
Hubert to Urge
Cabinet Portfolio
Lack of Friction lnsures
American Planes in
France Very Soon
1star Cor@pondcnccl

WASHINGTON, Sept 25.-The House
to-day passed the bill vesting control
Of the governments vast air pro-
gramme in the Aircraft Production
Board, of which Howard f. Coffin is
chairman. The measure, introduced by
Representative Murray Hubert, of
New York, has already passed the SEN
ate and will now so to conference.
The Aircraft Board bill will give full
authority to Mr.. Collins committee to
direct the aircraft production pro-
gramme. Thus far this committee has
served in a merely advisory capacity
TO the signal corps of the army, which
under the law has entire charge of the
aviation service. However, through
the presence of Major Squiers, chief
signal officer, on the Coffin committee,
the air programme has advanced with
out friction.

Wants Cabinet Portfolio

Representative Hubert said tonight
that following the final passage of the
air board bill efforts would be re-
newed to pass legislation creating a
special aircraft portfolio in the Cab
met.
Increased German activity in tho air
during recent weeks and the reported
development of new German super
planes have caused redoubled efforts
on the part of the board TO further
speed up the governments programme.
This will mean primarily steps to in
sure adequate supplies of airplane
materials. The chief difficulty now
encountered Is assurance of an ade-
quate supply Of spruce lumber
This threatened shortage of spruce
lumber will likely compel the Aircraft
Board 10 not only take over control of
the entire spruce output of the coun-
try, but 10 take further steps to in
crease this output TO the greatest pos
sible extent. Last year, even with the
demands made on this country by for
eign airplane manufacturers, the total
spruce production was little in excess
of 100000 feet The Aircraft Pro-
duction Boards programme calls for
more than l00,000,0O0 feet of spruce
during the next yea,
Another phase of the problem which
is causing considerable worry to the
Aircraft Board is an undoubted short
age of labor II may be necessary to
greatly increase the personnel of the
signal corps, organizing forest regi-
ments to be dispatched into the spruce
timber country. This step will not be
taken, however. until all other expedi-
ents to secure an adequate labor sup
ply have failed.
Award Contract Next Week
Within the next week spruce dealers
on the West Coast will be awarded
contracts for more than 100000 900 feet
/ CT lumber. In some cases. il is ex-
pected, it will be necessary for the
government to agree TO assume respon.
sibility for labor before the contracts
! can be negotiated. The Department OF
Labor is aeready making survey Of
the timber industry in an effort to de-
termine the available labor supply.
Though it is impossible TO disclose
any of the details of progress beint
made on the air fleet programme, i
can be confidently stated that American
made planes will make their appear
ance behind the fighting lines within
a very short time.

Last Remnant of I'd Brigade,
Including 23d, Reported
Next to Go

The LIST New York Infantry, COM
posed Of upstate companies, said good
by to New York yesterday and started
for Spartanburg, S. c., to take up
training at Camp Wadsworth. Factory
girls in a loft far down toward the
river on Cortlandt Street gave the hnai
touch to the city's farewell by Ringing
packages Of cigarettes from upper WIN
dows as the soldiers passed below.
As the olive drab columns filed onto
the ferryboat the band struck up "over
There" and the whippoorwill strains
were taken up by the crowd and the
soldiers, too. The crowd stopped sing
ing when the whistle sounded and the
boat pulled out, but the diminishing
chorus of soldiers voices drifted back
over West Streets Earring traffic for
several minutes.
Reveille Hour Early
Reveille had been sounded An hour
earlier than during the six weeks the
Cortlandt Park. and the soldiers set to
ing their belongings with a cheer
which told their neighbors of the list
New York Infantry that they were on
their way.
They marched to the subway at 242d
Street, and at that corner the lone po-
liceman held up all traffic until the

result was that twenty-five trolley cars
and about 300 automobiles were stalled.
At Fulton Street there was briefer
interruption of traffic when hundreds
Of active young men in olive drab pre-
cipitated themselves into the morning
crush and "fell in" TO march to the
ferry. Many mascots were taken along
on the trip.
The 1st Regiment numbers 2,l00

James s. Boyer, of Waterford, is its
commander.
Men Happy on Departure
II is the first contingent of the I'd
Brigade, whose stopover of few days
at Van Cortandt Park dragged out
into six weeks, to leave that camp. As
the arrangements for their comfort
there had been made on the basis of a
much shorter stay, the men were glad
to get the order to be off.
Reports which emanated from Ma
tional Guard headquarters yesterday
make 1t seem probable that the Van
Cortlandt Park camp will be deserted
next Sunday. According TO these re-
ports, the 23d and list Regiments
which, with the 1st, constitute the I'd
Brigade, would start South on Sunday.

Khaki Adds Martial
Air to Yom Kippur

At dusk last night Jews throughout
the city began a fast which will last
until shutdown tonight to commence
rate Yom Kippur (the Day of Atone
ment). Thousands Of the orthodox will
recite prayers necessarily in the syna-
gogues for twenty-four hours.
Traditionally a day devoted to calm
review of the facts of existence. this
Yom Kippur is marked by sorrow over
the condition of the Russian and Polish
Jews suffering in the war zones. To
alleviate the plight Of their co-religion-
lists abroad the Jews of this city will
contribute literally to-day to the s1O,-
100000 fund for which appeals have
been sent out by the American Jewish
Relief Committee through Paul War
burg.
Soldiers Get Furloughs
Jewish soldiers from Camp Mills and
Camp Upton received furloughs for the
services, and last night at nearly every
temple men in khaki were to be seen
among the worshippers. Men whose
homes are outside of New York were
guests of patriotic Jewish families last
night and will remain with them to-
day. At all synagogues special courte-
sizes were given to men in uniform.
Services lasted for several hours last
night at most of the Jewish houses of
worship, and will be resumed in the
morning and continue until at least
three stars appear in the heavens to-
night In certain ultra orthodox places
on the East Side the ritual and prayers
were given all through the night.
The singing Of "Kol Nidro," an old
Jewish melody, opened the ceremonials
The spirit of the evening was repent
ance. and the Jews sought forgiveness
for the errors in their conduct during
the last year.
"Yishar" This Afternoon
The devotional services will reach
height this afternoon, when the
"Yishar' memorial serviceD takes place.
While the prayers in memory of the
dead are recited no child who has both
q father and a mother living is per-
mitted TO remain in the house of wor-
ship. Later the Mia is sung, and then
Jews give expression to the perennial
hope: an the year to come We shall
be in our Holy Land" The PRAYER Of
mariv follows, and then the worship
ping throngs know that the sun is sink
ing in the west and that the time to
break their fast is approaching. With
the holiday over at shutdown, the Jews
return to their homes for a joyous
feast.
Usually the abstention from food for
twenty-four hours weakens the praying
hosts. However, the custom is gone
through, for its purpose is to punish
the body. Only young children, ex-
tremely old folk, nursing mothers and
the sick are excused from fasting
among the scrupulously religious.

Call On Lansing
To State Position
On Alien Draft
Members of House Military
Committee Hope to Hear
Secretary To-day

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-An effort
will be made to have Secretary of
State Lansing appear before the Mill
tarv Affairs Committee OF the House
tomorrow to give his approval of GER
tain drastic amendments that the COM
mittee desires to make in the alien
draft resolution before submitting 1t
TO the House under special rule for i'm
mediate passage.
So far all efforts of the committee TO
have the State Department or the Ad-
ministration act definitely on the pro-
posed amendments have failed, and the
committee is still in doubt as to
whether the Administration would lend
its support to the resolution in the
form in which it is proposed to report
il to the House.
Counsellor Polk of the State Depart
ment appeared before the committee on
Monday to discuss the bill. but aside
from approving the American repatria-
ton section Of the bill he declared that
the subjects under discussion must be
decided by either Secretary Lansing or
President Wilson.
II Secretary Lansing's approval can
not be obtained for the amendments it
is probable that the committee will act
without Administration sanction.
Amendments to be put in the bill in
clude proposals TO make Chinese,
japanese. Italians and Serbians sub
iect to the draft, the same as all other
aliens; to draft aliens whether they
have been in the United States for one
year or not; to bar aliens from ever
seeking citizenship if they claim draft
cyemption because of their alien citi-
zenship, and 10 permit those in the
military service TO become citizens
without taking out their first papers.
The alien military service act is ex-
pected to cause difficulties along the
Mexican frontier, where there are many
Mexicans employed by American con-
Germs. How far the labor situation on
the border will be affected is not
known, but Mexicans are expected to
return to their country, and IL was re-
marked to-day that other foreigners as
well might easily cross over into
Mexico.

William X. Dodge, twenty-nine years
old, twin sons of Mrs. Elizabeth Ia
Dodge, widow, of 1913 Putnam Avenue
Brooklyn, appeared before the board TO
ask that one of them be exempted.
Although both brothers are anxious
to 90 to war. one of them must remain
behind to support the mother, ana the
exemption claim was made by Dotn
with the understanding that II would
be granted to but one.
After a long period of deliberation
committee was appointed, which eventu-
ally recommended that William, VINO

Moved in a stock brokers' Office. seemed
slightly more robust
In the case of Eugene NJ. Wagner
whose claim for exemption on the
ground of a dependent wife had been
denied by Local Board 141, the district
board established precedent. Inc
action of the local board had been
based on the fact that the wife's father,
James p. Silo, is a prominent auction
eer and on the assumption that he
would not permit his daughter to be
public charge in case her husband went
to the front.
The board decided that the local
board was in error in assuming that
the father would take care of Mrs.
Wagner during the husbands absence
and reversed the local boards decision
granting Wagner exemption.
Harry Diamond, who claimed exemp-
ton on the ground of being consclen-
tious objector and because of the fact
that he had pleaded guilty to burg

CAMP UPTON, Long Island, Sept. 20
The Pied Piper didn't ,cok a bit like
his pic,ures. He was rather short and
noticeably spare, and he wore shiny ole
khaki brecches, corn canvas legging'
and an o. ID. shirt with three stripes on
the sleeves.
But when the Pied Piper blew upor
his whistle to-day the mon Of Upton
followed him like children Of Hamelin.
BY local designation he was the tor
sergeant of A Company OF the brand
new 3O5th United States Infantry. The
first tune he played on his little tin
pipes meant Squads right" and the
second Forward and the succeeding
trills were Column right and Column
left" that carried his company of by
itself on an independent hike.
1t was hiking day for the whole regi'
ment. All morning and all afternoon
the men were kept on the go, except
for brief rest periods. Even then no
time was wasted for the captains filled
in the interims with lectures. That was
about all the work there was left fol-
the company commanders, aside from
indicating the route. Their regular
army drill sergeantS did the rest.
The regiment started the day as a
unit, but within an hour it was scat
tered all over the twenty square miles
Of reservation TERRITORY. The sun was
hot, but autumn was in the breeze to
counteract it's effect. So sore feet, 10
