Birth Control Divides
 German Public Opinion

BERLIN, Aug. 20.-Following a recent lecture tour by Mrs. Mar garet Sanger, the American birth control advocate, plans have been made for the establishment of Germany's first bureaus for the dissemination of this kind of in- formation among the poor.
 The group in charge of the work includes several physicians, city officials and influential social workers.

MILL IONS HAVE GOLFERS" FOOT ASSERTS EXPERT

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 9.-"Golf- CTS foot" or athletes foot" is a complaint now making itself felt throughout the country, Dr. M. s. Harmolin, chairman of the scien- tiflc committee of the National Association of Chiropodists-Po -Podia- trists, told members of that asso- citation in an address prepared for delivery before the annual con- vention today.
 The disease acquired it's name from the fact that golfers and other athletes are afflicted in large numbers, said Dr. Harmolin, who is secretary of the Ohio Col lege of Chiropody, Cleveland.
 It is an eczematoid eruption of the feet due to fungus infection contracted by walking barefoot on moist surfaces, such as those around swimming pools, in gymna- siums, bathrooms, club houses and other places where people aggre- gate. It is also acquired from contaminated towels, hosiery or slippers.
 pr. Harmolin estimated that ti- nea trichophyton, the fungs caus ing this disorder, is now plying it's rayages on more than .20.O0O.- 900 feet in the United States.
 Redness and soreness between the toes is the first manifestation Of the disease. It can be arrest ed, Dr. Harmolin said, by prompt application of anti-parasitic oint- ment.
