Ouch ?!3!! This kind Of rough
talk will be heard less here in town IL
people troubled with corns will follow the
simple advice OF this Cincinnati author
ity, who claims that a few drops OF 4
drug called freezone when applied to a
tender. aching corn stops soreness at
once, and soon the corn dries up and lifts
right out without pain.
He says freezone is a sticky substance
which dries Immediately and never in
flames or even irritstes the surrounding
tissue or skin. A quarter OF an ounce.
which will cost very little at any drug
store, is said 10 be sufficient to remove
every hard or soft corn or callous from
ones feet Millions Of American women
will welcome this announcement since the
inauguration Of the high heels.-Adv.

Interesting Chats
From Hotel Lobbies

'I haven't any authoritative figures
upon the subject. but will venture the
opinion that the Department Of Justice
has 1000 amateur sleuths who feel they
could do admirable work In the Secret
Service" said Eldon A. Norton. propri-
etor OF a detective agency at Buffalo N.
Y, and a guest at the Hotel Raleigh.
I'm my own business, which Is en-
tirely for commercial and financial con-
Germs, I have been deluged with appli-
cants who are certain they can uncover
guarding two OF the largest munition
plants in the East. We have received any
number of wild letters offering to inform
US OF plans to cripple the factories" he
said.
Tn = number Of cases I interviewed
the letter writer's. thinking there might
be something back OF It all, but found
nothing to substantiate them.
''Just as soon as the war was declared
think that all OF the munition plants
carefully scanned and revised their pay
possibly be suspected of having the
slightest Teutonic sympathies. They
also redoubled the guard
with such a condition I can imagine
the Department of Justice and the
Treasury Department deluged with let
ters from cranks and others who think
they have evidence of plots. And hap
pen to know personally that the govern
ment looks up every one OF these letters
as a precautionary measure, 50 you can
imagine the immense amount OF addi-
uonal work war situation forces on the
government"
"One Of the benefits Of the war viii
be to bring about some practical re-
forms In dress" said Perkins A Rich,
Of the National Defense League Of New
York, who Is at the New Willard.
More men will wear the sensible linen
suits and those OF the washable variety
that can be purchased for less than SO
during the summer months. Tho custom
Of wearing such summer habits is large
ly confined to the South and there Is
room for great development in dress re-
form of this character in New England
and the Middle West. where such clothes
are now considered extremely radical.
Another benefit which will operate for
the conservation OF the leather supply
as the suit plan will conserve the wool
supply-will be the passing OF the high
boots for women. These waste an enor-
nous amount OF leather for no other
purpose than fashion, and fashion in this
direction Is bound to change.
IF we can cut down the commodities
we actually waste and extraveganoe in
the use OF food supplies. this war Will
turn out to be a real blessing"

guration Of Brooklyn's final Western
trip. Doak shut out JEFF Pfetfer in the

BROOKLYN only two hits. His team

most as they pleased, by q score OF II

Of Pfeffer, who held the Cardinals 20

Things came easier for Doak in the sec
ord game. He got away behind, but his
teammates soon solved the shoots o.
Larry Cheney, and peppered that vet
eran so freely that the contest resolved
itself into a joke by the end OF the
fifth inning, in which period the home
team scored six times.
Doak not only pitched wonderful
game against Pfetfer, but contributed
to mis- own success, with pinch single
that scored the first run. With one out
in the second inning, Paulette tripled

Nunamaker would have had a perfect

The determination Of Lee Foil to win
the game was shown by the manner IN
which he kept his pitching staff toillng

Foil removed Klepfer from the box
after the Yankees scored their second
run in the fourth. Morton went to the
mound in the fifth, and when his lack
Of control became apparent Bagby was
hurried TO the rescue.
The poor fielding by both teams
aroused the derision of those IN the
stands. Each side made four errors,
Fritz Maisel contributing two to the
