Smith Five Gallons Ahead of
 Hoover in Unisue Straw Vote

ST. JOE, Ark.-A filling station proprietor at Pindall has evolved a unique method of taking a straw vote on the presidential candidates. He has two pumps which vend the same grade of gasoline.
 One of them he has labeled Smith and the other Hoover. Much tourist travel passes over Highway 65 through Pindall, and each one stop ping at the filling station is willing to register his preference in this manner.
 A careful record was kept and on October 1st, Smith was leading by five gallons. Incidentally, the pro prietor believes this straw vote helps the sale of his gasoline, as the buyer always puts in all the tank of his car will hold in order to make bet ter showing for his choice.

Toe itch comes in three varieties or
forms, namely, the simple itch associ-
ated with hyperidrosis (Which is medi-
calese for excessive sweating); fungus
dermatitis or ringworm infection of the
skin of the feet prevailing in gymna-
Sums, swimming pools and other places
where people go barefoot, and the dew
itch, ground itch or toe itch caused by
the invasion of the skin by the larvae
of the hookworm, in sections OF the
South where the soil is polluted.
Simple toe itch is an annoying feature
of only a few cases of excessive sweat
ing of the feet 1t is unquestionably re-
lieved or prevented by going barefoot,
whereas the other two forms OF toe itch
are contracted usually by going bare
foot. frequently urge the practice of
going barefoot as good thing for the
development of the feet, for the general
health of the individual and for the
prevention of hyperidrosis or bromidrosis
(malodorous sweating).
There is some risk of contracting
fungus or ringworm dermatitis by going
barefoot in public gymnasiums or about
swimming pools or other bath estab-
lishments. For tourists there Is risk
of contracting hookworm by going bare
foot in any region where the soil hap
pens to be polluted.

the Sale.
By THE COUNSELLOR,

Jack Wood sold for two dollars an
old violin that had lain in the attic of
his house.
Shortly thereafter. Wood was in
formed by a friend that the instru-
ment he had sold may have been of a
valuable make. Being curious, Wood
returned with violin expert to the
secondhand dealer to whom he had
made the sale. His old violin proved
to have rare value.
The dealer, who had been unaware
of the bargain he had bought at the
time of obtaining it, had in the mean
time ascertained its true value and re-
fused to resell the instrument to Wood.
The latter lost no time in bringing suit
to rescind the sale, asserting that the
sale was void because of his mistake in
the quality and value of what he was
selling.
The court refused to set aside the
sale, stating:
thing to be sold and the terms Of the
contract, the agreement is complete not
withstanding a mistake as to the ma
ture and quality of what Is being sold.
If Wood chose to sell the article with
out investigation as to its intrinsic
value to one who was guilty of no fraud
or unfairness which induced him to sell
it for a small sum, he cannot repudiate
the sale because it is afterward aScer-
tanned that he made bad bargain"

to make q diagnosis of the kind OF toe
itch in nearly all cases. Obviously there
is nothing to prohibit one with hypert-
drosis from catching hookworm or fun
gus, and nothing to prohibit one with
such toe itch from having hyperidrosis.
So how are you going to tell what ais
you? It is difficult enough for the doc
tor to make sure In many cases.
It may be highly unscientifc and
even wrong, but somehow feel justi-
fed by the reports have had from
correspondents, in saying that a stand-
ard formula known to physicians and
pharmacists is a fairly good remedy
for all three forms of toe itch, If you'd
rather fool with your itch than consult
your doctor. This formula is six parts
of salicylic acid and u parts OF benzoic
acid In enough petroleum. petroleum
jelly to make 100 parts of ointment.
Apply 1t to the affected surface OF skin
once daily for a week. Then rest of
for a week or two, and If the trouble
persists or recurs, another week OF daily
applications. In many cases 1t Is ad-
yisable to reduce the strength OF the
ointmers half by mixing with an equal
quantity of plain petroleum.. In all
cases 1t is better to apply the ointment
at night, and not put on shoes or other
wise cover the feet until a few hours at

SUB ROSA
Making a Hit.

Janet is rather pleased with herself,
you know. She's been fairly success
full young person for some time now.
She has concentrated steadily on
making hit with all the really expen-
sive people in town, and she has Sue
ceeded. At present her home is the
center of the really exclusive society OF
this burg.
And, you know, she has the most
profound contempt for some of the
other girls who have either not aimed
so high or been unable to reach the
mark.
Janet says: "It's so simple of those
kids. They're too prudish. What the
really smart people like nowadays is
snappy conversation. They like girls
who are not afraid to call a spade.
They like. girls who drink and smoke
and know how to have a good time.
Maybe I am in wrong with a few Old
blue stockings. but what difference does
that make? I'm in right with the best
crowd in town."
Yes, she is quite pleased over the
whole thing. and the prudish sisters who
are largely to blame for their own
plight.
But Janet's plight will be as pitiable
one of these days If she Is to remain
here and settle down to marriage and
few children.
For, you see, she hasn't made last
ing favorable impression with a single
one of the reliable people. No, she
hasn't bothered about them. The
mothers and fathers, the solid citizens,
the people who can be ones best friends
In time of trouble-these folk she hasn't
bothered to cultivate. In her estima-
ton they're much too dull. Why should
she bother?
Simply because neither she nor any
other girl in the world can live happily
ever after with nothing to depend on
but the friendship of this idle, merry,
fast-going crowd she loves.
Every one needs something more re-
liable than a cocktail party to fall back
on in time of trouble. Janet hasn't
made a single real friend who would
stick by her when she needed help.
She hasn't tried to.
She's simply made q hit with the
noisy spenders and the big half timers.
She's happy now because she's in their
social Whirl. But, heavens! her life is
going on a long time, and somewhere
| in it there must be some sort of real
relationship If she is to have any hap
piness.
She can't 60 on depending on these
careless people for friendship and love.
Nor can she steadily incur the disap-
prevail and resentment of the substan-
tial souls whom she despises.
The world is made up of the SUBJ
stantial people we think dull. The
noisy, happy-go-lucky crowd are only
| the froth, and If we hang on to the
froth we shall find ourselves friendless
one of these days.
Let us make all the friends we can
in this world, but let us not turn our
backs on solid responsibility because 1t
doesn't drink or smoke or know how to
have good time. There is often just
as much warmth and friendlineSS In
the respectable people as there can ever
be in the idle drifters who know only
how to spend money.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, September 90
Mary Pickfords changed personality
is one of the most interesting topics In
Hollywood today.
Americas Sweetheart" will have to
look for a new tag If all reports con-
corning her are coming true. For the
little girl, playful, appealingly pouting,
Is to disappear from Mary Pickford's
calculations and screen portrayais OF
emotional consequence and tragic depths
are to be substituted.
Mary herself has some interesting
ideas about the change. One is that
the type of little girl she has been por-
traying in the past is not understand
able to the child of the present.
A wistful, naughty little girl with
several pounds of blond curls hanging
down her back isn't in the modern pic
ture. That same little heavy haired
mink, climbing up into the jam closet
the while she casts rueful eyes about
lust makes the hard-boiled infantas OF
the present day smile.
The youngster today thinks the aver
age childish prank Is something to be
tucked away with the moth balls and
rummaged for in the attic just to get a
laugh.
without doubt something will hap
pen to "Coquette" when Mary Pickford
makes movie of It.. It Is scarcely
within calculations that the above
mentioned little girl is going to step
over the line into the delicately purpled
tragedy of this story as 1t stands.
Few stories are given in movies as
they stand. They are subject to a
change AS writing gentle named
"Bill' put into the mouth of Sprite
called Ariel, "A sea change into some
thing rich and strange"
When "The Cardboard Lover" was
made in Hollywood Marion Davies be-
came the cardboard lover.
Which reminds me of a story Ger
trude Anterior told me about the film
ing of one of her novels. She was taken
into projection room in the studio
and the reel was begun. ?,
