A LII sorts of troubles can happen
"A to a foot.
Among the most common condi-
tions are sprains, strains, fractures,
dislocations, excessive sweating,
corns, callouses, warts, chilblains,
ringworm, bunions, hammer toes,
painful heels, ingrown toenails,
cracked toes, blisters, bruises and
disturbances of the circulation
Any one of these conditions may
eventuate into a serious disturbance
affecting the body as a whole.
One need only. recall the death of
the son Of a former President Of the
United States who, while playing
tennis. developed a blister on his
heel from rubbing by his tennis
shoe. Within d short time the bis
ter became infected and general
septicemia developed and death
followed.
In a recent consideration of the
care of the feet, DR.. Philip Levin
provided number of footnotes
which every mother and every in
dustrial worker will do well to con-
slider carefully.
Obtain shoe that has the shape
of your foot.

LONGER to | i've

DR. WILL MAYO thinks that by
~ another generation we shall
have extended the average span of
life to 70 years, which means an
increase of II years over what it is
at present and of % over what it
was in Washington's time.
Regardless of what the average
span of life has been, a few people
always have lived long, fully as long
as they do today.
Though Washington died at 81,
Thomas Jefferson lived to be IS,
Benjamin Franklin to be 81, and
John Adams to be more than 80.
Even if we can increase the aver
age span to 70, we shall only have
done for the many what nature con-
stantly has done for a few.

Politics the Same

XXTHAT would Washington say
wv about unemployment, prohibit
ton, or Stimson's policy toward
Japan?
Whatever he said. it would be in
telligent and to the point.
Though little children might be
able to bewilder him with their
knowledge of mechanics, our great
est minds hardly could tell him
much about politics, whether from
domestic or foreign slant.
Politics is the same old game.
General Washington could begin
right where he left off.

Research Is Vital

THE whole makeup of the indus
L trial world depends upon the
scientific laboratory, in the opinion
of Holland.
In the highly competitive strug-
gle for industrial supremacy, the
march of science, discovery, and in-
vention has so speeded up the adj
vanCes Of technology that a labora-
tory discovery may mean creation
of new industry, or expansion of
one and losses for another" he
says.
"TOday's discovery in the field of
scientific theory inevitably leads to
application in the practical field of
business tomorrow. The slow pro-
cesses of evolution of industry by
Improvements in mechanical equip
ment has given way to revolution Of
manufacturing processes by re-
search.
Within the last year or two many
industries have felt the rising tide
of competition, and not a few have
slipped from their moorings.
The very foundation of industries.
unless they be anchored in the bed
rock Of pure science, threaten to be
carried away.
They carry on under the silent
menace of the attack of competitors
undermining the structure with the
levers Of applied science.
This years reports of some of the
most progressive manufacturing
corporations devote a half page Of
text or-1ess to the finances OF the
company
The remainder of the report is
concerned with the achievements in
science, invention and new processes
and products which have grown out
Of them.
The spirit of these reports is
typical Of the far-sighted policies
which guide many Of our successful
industrial CORPORATIONS"

Improving the Average

XXTHEN you come to think of it,
w that seems to be the object of
civilization with regard to most
everything. About all we have done.
or can hope to do, is improve the
average.
The world always has been blessed
with a select minority who appeared
able to get by, regardless of cpl
denies, disasters, or social injustice.
Where it has failed is with regard to
the less fortunate majority.
If this country has contributed
anything of value to mankind, if the
victory at Yorktown means any,
thing of lasting Importance, it is in
promoting the gospel of mass well
fare

RaCketeering Not New

XXTHEN it came to some of the
w more fundamental activities,
however, such as the indictment of
Bishop Cannon, the Seabury investi-
cation, or the trial of Al Capone,
Washington would feel perfectly at
home.
He could name plenty of clergy
men who not only went in for poll
tics, but took the other side. So,
too, he could name politicians who
betrayed their trust and racketeers
who bled the public We have in
vented nothing new along those
lines.

Editor Times-I would like to ask
an explanation of the Community
Fund.
According to the figures published
in your paper last fall in regard to
the distribution Of the money paid
to the Community Fund, the Fam
lily Welfare society received about
one-eighth Of the total.
Why do the people of Indianap-
oils stay so blind to facts? This
Family Welfare society is the only
organization to which one can ap-
peal for charity. The other organi-
cations are good and helpful to our
people, but they are not relief sta
lions to which the needy can apply
for aid. Why is it that in times like
we have at present, this seven
eighths of $1,000, 10000 goes to
places where the really destitute
can not apply and receive help?
The Indianapolis Times is one
paper which, as a member Of the
Howard chain, stands for
fairness and honesty. Give light
and the people will find their own
way" Why not give light on the
Community Fund facts?
Hundreds of workers are forced"
to give to this fund each year
against their wishes, or give up
their jobs. These same workers
gladly would give if seyen-eighlhs
of their dollar did not go to Or
CARNATIONS which are not chart
table institutions.
The entire plea made for sub
scriptions to the Community Fund
is on the basis Of helping some poor
child, who is without shoes or food,
etc. This, Of course, touches the
hearts Of the people. But why not
use it for that purpose?
1t looks to me like seven eighths
of every dollar should go to the
Family Welfare society, then let
the other one-eighth go to these
other organizations. Why can not
the peoples money really be used to
help the needy, instead of most Of
it going elsewhere?

Beyond Farm Credit

bonds as investments apparently would benefit if the
capital OF these banks were increased as President
Hoover has proposed.
