For Aching Feet.

Much ease can be given to aching
feet by a nightly foot bath OF hot
water, in which has been dissolved
a small quantity of EPSON salts.
For some reason great relief can be
given to burning feet by this
process. Hot water softens callous
spots and they should be carefully
scraped off as soon as the feet are
dried. This should be followed by
massaging the soles we'll and rub
bing into them small amount of
Gil or vaseline.

NEW LIFE IS

New American Base Will

pears to be passing through a pro-
cess of resurrection, although the
tonnage handled since the port was
reopened more than three months
ago represents that which would
ordinarily come through this port in
one week during the days prior to
the war. Ships now come strag-
Cling in, and along the seven-mile
waterfront the winch is heard
creaking here and there. and the
vision in some of the great sheds is
obstructed by unpretentious stacks
of bags of American rice and rows
of barrels of Chicago pork, and
there are foodstuffs. clothing and
manufactured articles, most of
which, however, is for immediate
use.
The American Commission of Re-
lief in Belgium had seventeen
steamships in port early in April
and the American base for supply
ing the American Army of Occu-
patton in Germany was unloading
five others.
Shipping men are anxiously
awaiting the opening of the Amer
lean base at Contich,' about two
miles outside of Antwerp on the
Malines road. Barracks are being
erected at Contich for the accom-
modation of 10000 soldiers at a

little more life into the Antwerp
port. The grounds picked out for
the American base is a vast plain

OVERLAND
CLIPS OFF MANY
MILES IN TEST
Bad Accident Does Not Injure
Power of Engine: Ahead
of Oklahoma Record

That the crash that the little
Overland ninety encountered Mon
day evening shortly before it was
due at the control station at the
Telegraph building has not impaired
Its running qualities in the least is
evid6pced in the fact that it is not
only hoiding it's own with the Okla
homa car that broke the worlds
nonstop Mgh-gear record, but is fast
gaining in mileage. UP until 6
O'clock last evening the car had
covered 2,131 miles. This was a:
tho close of the third day of run
ming and the car was 290 miles
ahead of the Oklahoma cars rec
ord, notwithstanding the fact that it
lost four hours Monday evening
when it was being repaired after it's
accident.
At a special meeting of the judges
yesterday 1t was decided that the
fact that the motor stopped for the
fraction of a minute in the crash
and was Immediately restarted and
kept running all the time it was be-
ing repaired would in no way dis
qualify the car in its worlds record
run. The fact that the motor is still
running and that the car is making
such splendid mileage shows that
the motor was not injured.
The writer acted as observer on
the 10 A. NJ. to P. NJ. turn yester-
day, when the car was driven by

Mr.. Hanson to Mechanicsburg by
the way of Oysters Point and re-
turned back to Oysters Point and
then proceeded over the Carlisle
pike to Carlisle, thence over the
Walnut Bottom road to Shippens-
burg and Chambersburg, then over
the mountains through Caledonia
Park to Gettysburg and from Get
tysburg through Dillsburg and back
to Harrisburg. Practically every
kind of road in the country was en-
countered. Just after leaving Get
tysburg, a detour was made over a
rough country lane that would try
the stamina of a truck wagon, and
the little Overland went through it
as slick as a whistle. The motor
purred along at q thirty-five- mile
clip. up hill and down hill, and
many time a person would think
he was riding in a six-cylinder car
1t never missed stroke in the 122
miles it covered on the trip.
The gasoline being consumed is
staying between the eighteen and
twenty miles to the gallon mark.
The tires on the car have not held
up very we'll to the severe strain
they are encountering, but otherwise
the car has not needed any adjust
ments outside of the repairs after
the accident. The motor has been
running without a miss, no spark
plugs have been changed and the
car is in good shape otherwise. That
it will finish its run in fine shape is
a foregone conclusion. 1t may even
go further than was originally in
tended.
Mr.. Hanson. when asked yester-
day when he wanted to sell that car,
remarked that the car would not be
sold. After it has finished its run it
will be placed on exhibition in
the Overland Harrisburg Company's
salesrooms and that afterward he
was going to drive it himself.
At 6 o'clock this morning the car
was all ready ahead of the fourth
days record of the Oklahoma car.
1t has travelled a distance of 2,4S3
miles, while in four days the Okla
homa car had Travelled 2,462 miles.

tary conditions there much better
than in other bases which have
achieved greater prestige.
The Americans have taken over
some of the piers where North Ger
man Lloyd steamships formerly
eocked. The early work was ardu-
GUS, as the piers were encumbered
with gravel imported from Holland
by the Germans, ostensibly to re-
pair roads, but actually to build
reinforced concrete shelters, dug
outs and trenches. One hundred
thousand cubic yards of the gravel
had to be removed before the piers
could be used. 1t is estimated the
Germans had enough graved there
to repair Belgian roads for fifty
years.
Fifteen thousand longshoremen
and stevedores are idle here and
the only solution shipping men find
when questioned as to how the sit
uation can be remedied may be
summed up on one word: Amer

Seeks to Prevent
General Strike of
Scranton Workers
BY associated Press.

Scranton, Pa, May with the
arrival here yesterday of Commits
sioner John j. Rogers, of the War
Labor Board of Washington, steps
were at once taken to avert, If pos
sible, the threatened strike of forty
thousand workers in sympathy with
employees of the city department of
public works. Mr.. Rogers con-
ferred with representatives of the
labor unions during the day, but
owing to the absence of Mayor
Connell and members of Council
from the city nothing definite was
accomplished. The city officials will
be home tomorrow when a joint
meeting will probably be held.
The dispute which threatens to
tie up the entire city grows out of
a strike of the city employees in
January. The differences were sub
mitted to arbitration, but when the
latter made their award the city
repudiated part of it on the ground
that it was unlawful. 1t is to force
the city to agree to accept this
award that the general strike is
threatened.

could be used advantageously for
the benefit of their populations.

1t is, on the other hand, we'll

meant a possible slight to the five

clans will not yet permit him to

Of receiving foreign diplomats. So
Lord Grey fully understands the
situation and carries away with
him only the highest feeling Of ad-
miration and respect for the pres
ident. His mission has been I'M
filled in one sense only-he has
not discussed questions sure to
arise out OF the operations of the
peace treaty. But he has obtained
a close up view Of American poll
tics and the American attitude and
he goes away confident that the
United States will ultimately be
found at the side of her allies help
ing in the immense job Of trying
to reconstruct war-torn world.

able to trace for the benefit of
European peoples who are accus-
toned to the parliamentary form
OF government and an executive re-
sponsible to the legislature the
growing tendency on the part of
the executive from the days of
Roosevelt on to proceed independ-

He will be able to describe the
reasons for Americas hesitation to
enter into binding contract for
participation in European affairs
! without knowing first exactly what
the commitments are going to be.
Summed up, the European observ-
ers. including the ambassadors and
writer's who have been making a
study Of the American treaty con-
troversy see 1t possible to boil all
the reservations down to a single
resolution, namely that in the oper-
alton Of so important an instru-
ment as the covenant of the
! League Of Nations, the president Of
ehe United States shall not have
power to commit the United
States to any obligations. moral,
political. physical, legal or mater

Not Needed in Europe.
Such an assurance ia not neces-

the parliament or national legisla-

vote or lack Of confidence and il he

the special situation in which

the pleasantest and most cordial
feeling between viscount Grey and
