Cincinnati authority to use a drug
called freezone, which the moment
a few drops are applied to any
corn. the soreness is relieved and

lifts out with the fingerA
It is a sticky ether compound
which dries the moment il is ap-
piled and simply shriYels the corn
without inflaminK or even irritat-
ing the surrounding tissue or skin.
II is claimed that a quarter OF an
ounce Of freezOne will cost very
little at any Of the drug stores
but is sufficient to rid ones feet OF
every hard or soft corn or calluS.
You are further warned that cut
ting at a corn is a suicidal habit.

soCiatiOn OF Americans and German
girls unquestiOnably would receive
encouragement from German parents.
In this connection there is a good
story of colonel in a certain Amcri-
can division who planned a dance
Near his headquarters was an old
monastery in which was a fine hall
for dancing. This colonel went to
the Abbott and told him the American
officers would like To use his hall
for a dance.
'How many officers will there be-
asked the Abbot About 15O." rc-
piled the colonel. The Americans
arc welcome to the hall" said the
Abbot, land l will provide $50 pretty
girls from Rheinland." Then, when
the colonel explained that the officers
would bring American girls, the old
Abbot began backing water and end
ed up by saying he would refer the
request for the monastery hall 10 his
bishop.
Ordered Fifty Girls.
In contrast is the American Office =
who summoned the BurEomeistcr nf
A certain town and told him to sup
ply fifty girls for a dance. When
headquarters heard of it that captain
was relieved of duty. As for female
determination in the open, the mili-
tary police have the best Of II. When
il comes TO female determination not
in the open. the violators Of the law
have the better chance. Not that
there is any red light business, for
that is well attended to by shipping
undesirables out OF bounds. Colonel
Dodge's police court records show that
certain roundups by military police
flying squadrons have not been barren
of results Some officers and men
have been convicted. but sometimes
even after being convicted in the al
legged offense by a military policeman
the accused gets off.
"T heard of one case today. A
military policeman was walking
down the street and heard a piano.
Looking in a window, he saw a Ger
man and his wife were seated in the
parlor.

Lonesome YankS Wish
They'd Let Them FIirt a
Bit With German Maids

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-In a COPY
righted story from Coblenz a corre-
spondent for the New York Times de-
scribes what a hard task confronts
Lieutenant Colonel Dodge and his
military police in keeping the Yanks
rom flirting with Rhine maidens.
The writer says the big determination
question in Americana Ger
many is women.
Now the anti-fraternization rule is
interallied; that is, il came to the
armies along the Rhine from General
Foch's headquarters" continues the
correspondent. AN interesting situ-
Sticn arises IL that commanders OF
different armies construe the rule
against determination in different
ways. For instance, on our right the
French do not hold that being friend
ly with a German girl is fraternizing;
the American army holds it is; conse-
Quently, while il is not forbidden in
AEayence for allied soldiers TO be on
speaking terms with a fraulein. il is
very much forbidden in Coblenz. /
believe the French theory is that
when a man talks TO a girl he doesn't
talk politics, and therefore there is no
peril to international policies.
Il don't know just what the Ameri-
can theory is, but il works out so
that an American can't talk to a Ger
man girl il an N. p. sees him. Incl
GentaIly the French theory was ex-
pounded TO me in this w1y-talking to
4 German girl is like drinking a bot
tie OF German wine, and drinking a
bottle of German wine is not frater-
uiZstion. Now, one may as well ad-
nit there are pretty girls along the
Rhine. and they are not all in the
French sector. Three hundred thou
sand American young men in Ger
many are used to talking to pretty
girls at home. they kept it up IN
France, they didn't stop IL in Luxem-
burg, and il seems sort OF second ma
ture to talk to pretty girls in Ger
many.
