Why You Should
Never Pare a Corn

II you are troubled with corns or cal
louses, do not run the risk OF blood pol.
son by pairing them. Statistics show that
many deaths have occurred from this
seemingly innocent practice Of parins
corns.
Simply 60 to your druggist and get s
few cents worth of Ice Mint, rub a llttls
on any painful corn or callous. Immedi-
ately the pain viii disappear and In
short time the corn or callous viii loosen
and lift of easily with the hngers-root
and all leaving the surrounding skin in
a healthy normal condition.
This. together with the fact that lee
Mint overcomes such affections as sore
tired aching, puffed or burning feet ana
makes them cool easy and comfortable, Is
probably responsible for the hearty en-
dorsement given It by druggists
To rid ones feet Of every hard corn
soft corn. corn between the toes or pain
ful callouses IN such q pleasant ana safs
way. makes it seem the height OF folly
for anyone to pare corn and people are
warned to stop II.

fast before it commences to lift the
valve, the impact will be severe and
there will be noise. The tappet
should be adjusted so as very nearly
to touch the valve stem. When the
engine is hot at the end of run,
the proper time to make adjust

ed so that it Just touches the valve
stem. The valve being hot will not
expand any more and when the tap

Fouled Plugs-When spark plugs
habitually become fouled with oil

tigate and see whether they may not
be projecting too far into the com
bustion chamber. particularly when
they are located in either one or the
other of the valve pockets. If they
are screwed into the valve port

the plugs in them will be the best
way to determine the condition.

July 4 BIRTHDAY
OF AMERICAN AUTO
First Successful Motor Car Invent
ed by Elwood Haynes of Koko-
mo Quarter Century Ago.

Kokomo. Ind. June 1.-THE au-
tomobile industry will reach the
quarter century mark OF its growth
on Iuly 4. What is now Americas S
third greatest industry dates IRON
the invention OF the first successful
American automobile by Elwood
Haynes in 1898.
Special significance is attached to
the celebration of the event on the
country's birthday by the important
contributions OF the automobile
world to the great war. Aeroplanes,
trucks and tanks, as well as passen-
ger cars, are rendering important
service in helping win the war. And
without exception they have been
made possible through the inven-
ton of the automobile and the de-
velopment OF gasoline engines
brought about by the advance OF
automobile engineering.
Such is the position OF what has
grown from mere curiosity to a
world necessary within the memory
OF the majority of the fathers and
mothers OF today.
Original "Benzine Buggy"
As a monument to the inventor
and the great step in improved
transportation he provided, the
United States government has on
exhibition, in the Smithsonian IN
stitution, Washington, the first
American motor car.
But the 'horseless carriage has
not always been looked upon as "A
benefactor OF humanity. Those who
first heard that Mr.. Haynes was
working on such a machine deciar-
ed it was a dream which could
never materialize.
The idea of such a conveyance
was conceived while Mr.. Haynes
was the superintendent OF a gas
company at Greentown, Ind. Ills
many necessary trips day and night
regardless OF weather or road con
ditions led him to seek some more
certain. less tiresome method oI
travel.
lie was a scientist and inventor
OF some note at that time, having
been particularly successful IN orig
inal research work at Worcester
Polytechnic institute, W orcesteH'
Mass, and at Johns Hopkins uni
yersitv. As the result OF his studies
Mr.. HAYNES bought a two-cycle ma
rine engine and began the construc-
ZION Of the first motor car by adapt
ing the engine for use on the road.
Many Doubters at First.
His experiments were attended
with man predictions OF failure tor
the project. even the mechanics VINO
assembled the parts Tor the car be-
ing so skeptical thai they demand
ed payment every Saturday night
for the work done that week.
The initial run on July 4. lS94'
was the elimination OF long Sc
ries of tests and experiments by
MIR. HAYNES. dating back even tar
ther than 1893. The first car tray
eled thirty-two miles on gallon
OF gasoline. 1t moved slowly ay-
craging between six and seven
miles an hour, but that speed was
considered marvellous then TOR We
hicle without Il horse.
That first run proved to be the
most important step in the improve
ment of transportation since the IN
vention Of the steam engine.
The first car was complete in all
essential details. 1t had wire
wheels. cushion tires, carburetor
and 4 muffler, the last two beng IN
vented BY Mr.. Haynes. 1t had two

FRANK BAKER STARTS SEASON
LIKE WELL-KNOWN HOUSE AFIRE
Maryland Mauler Whales
Out Two Victories for
Yanks in First Three
Games of the Season

MILLER HUGGINs may have Stun
1Nl bled into some of the old-time
trouble epidemic that has chased Yankee
teams for years. His twirling depart
nent already has blown up with loud
reDort and he has been having his out
field Droblem with Marsans, counted on
as a regular. mysteriously missing. Both
of these defects may be healed If real
nitcher and coach like Eddie Plank can
he brought into action, for the fine work
of Elmer Miller in the Yanks' outer
works indicates that Marsans will have
10 go some to get the regular job IL he
does appear.
But there are bright spots in Hug
Rins's dreams. One of these is that
the old second-base gap has been plugged
by the securing Of Derrill Pratt, and
another Is that Home-run Frank Baker
looks like n new man and capable of
delivering in ancient fashion when both
his stick and his arm were important
factors in deciding championships and
worlds series.
Had Trouble With Donovan
Baker had his troubles with Bill Dom
oyan and was not playing with his heart
last year. At least such is the story.
and the present angle Of the situation is
that Baker is tickled to death with Hug
gins. In any event the Trappe wal
ioper has started like house afire, his
old warclub doing deadly work In the
three opening games against Washing
ton. In these games he scored or
brought in nine runs and virtually won
both OF the Yankee victories with the
willow.
In the opener against Walter johnson
Baker got two hits, which figured in the
scoring Of four runs by the Yanks In a
game which they won to o. In Tues
davis contest Bakers batting again was
much in evidence. even though the
Yanks did not win. He drove In the
first run with a sacrifice fly and the
second with a clean single, aiding In the
next by waiting out a pitcher and ad
vanclng another runner to second base
from which place he scored later on q
hit.

he drove in two other runs earlier in the

Pratt home in the first inning and his
clean single in the fifth sent Pipp across
