When there is no radical defect like
those described, or nat feet, corns,
bunions. etc. and yet the feet are tired
and ache, the best thing to do Is to
adjust the footwear and inspect it
thoroughly. Are your shoes really wide
enough and long enough to allow for
the spreading Of the feet when you
stand or walk? Are your heels per-
fectly level, or are they slightly worn
down on one side or the other7 The
smallest degree Of inequality here Is
enough to cause q lot Of aching Of the
feet and ankles.
Another point often overlooked Is the
length of the sock or stocking foot
Lack Of room In these E quite as
cramping to the toes as o similar de-
feet IN the shoes. Sometimes tender
ness Is due to excessive perspiration.
A good scrubbing with soap and water,
followed by q cold rinse, Is helpful.
Massage the feet with toilet or massage
alcohol sfterward. Then dust them
with . good foot powder again in the
morning.
An excellent foot powder may be
made by mixing two ounces nc oxide,
two ounces powdered starch and two
ounces Of boric acid. Mix well The
greatest care should be given also to
the toenails. Such troubles as ingrown
toenafls, painful corns and bunions,
ETC., should be attended to regularly
by the chiropodist or foot specialist.

'ALEWlrR.

In six days the eggs hatch. If the water
is about 60 degrees. The young fry are
l month old when they begin working
their way down the stream.
From June until Autumn, you can see
vast numbers moving out of the ponds,
going with the current. BY Fall the
oldest youngsters will be 4 inches long
and are looking for salt water. 1t
is believed that it takes from three to
four years for an alewife to grow up.
Then it finds its mate and returns to
the scene of its birth.
The food of the alewives consists Of
shrimp, eels, cunners, herrings and their
brethren. When running up stream the
vast army fasts and does not touch
food until it is again in brackish waters.
These are excellent food fishes and
are preferred by many to sea herring.
They have commercial importance
among minor fisheries, and are a IA
vorite bait for pollock, haddock and cod.
The alewife is 10 inches long and
weighs about one-half pound. 1t is
heavily built for its size. The back is
a dark green, the sides are lighter, and
the belly silver. There is a dusky spot
on either side. just behind the margin
Of the gill cover. The iridescent colors
Of green and violet fade quickly at
death.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

There are many reasons why dreams
are queer. This time I ask the reader
to reason by analogy. Suppose one of
the spark plugs in your car has burned
out. You will go hobbling along on
3, 5, 7, II or Is cylinders, depending
on the construction of the motor In
your car. II you are not acquainted
with motors, the behavior of your car
seems queer. And it is queer. A me-
chanic will take care of that in a few
moments. He knows.
Now take the human mind. 1t is
made up Of thousands of units which
correspond to the cylinders in an au-
tomobile motor. When you fall to
sleep, one or generally more of these
mind cylinders are temporarily out of
order. They have gone to sleep. They
have passed into Inconsistencies.
They refuse to work But the mental
machine hobbies along Your mind
goes to sleep in sections. The parts
that are still awake and active keep
on trying to solve your problems, to
fulfill your wishes, to Danish your fear,
to untangle your bafi1ements, to COM
pensate for your misfortunes, to real
ize your longtime ambitions in
other words, to perform the business of
smooth-running mind.

Iohn Bascom,s Christmas.

The Great Day.
THE bump which John Bascom
received when he fell on the
wooden tie of the railroad was
enough to daze and hurt him,
but it had no harmful results of
O lasting nature. After the united
strength Of the farmers and railroad
men had removed the fallen telegraph
pole from the tracks and the New
Century Limited had gone on its way
Bill Dempsey chained the sleigh to the
rear Of his auto and pulled it to the
Dempsey farm.
Then old Horace was hitched to the
sleigh once more, and John renewed his
journey to Rosedale, with many
thoughts in his head.
Not the least of his thoughts was
about the money which the young man
had given him-five SIS bills!
To have $25 of his very own-that
was thrill, indeed
What would he do with such a sum?
First of ALL" he decided, 'I will put
aside SIS to give to dad and mother to
help out with expenses until dad gets
the money for the wheat. The other
$40 I'll use to buy Christmas presents
for everybody"
You may picture John as he shopped
that day. buying presents for his rela-
tives and friends. He remembered to
buy the book Mary wanted for her
father, and to the so cents she had
given him he added so cents of his
own, buying a book called Great In
ventions."
When he returned home in the eve
ming he found that news had been
telephoned to his mother by Mrs. Demp-
sey and Mrs. Mahar, and his mother
had told the rest Of the family about 1t.
There was a warm welcome for him,
and he felt like king when he handed
the SIS to his father.
Very well, my boy" said his father.
~I will take it because the family needs
It, but from my wheat money will put
aside q larger sum than this To be
saved for your college education. ] see

they did much to make him happy. His
Joy was increased when his mother
handed him q package which she said
had come by mail. In the living room,
near the Christmas tree, he opened the
package, and in it he found q card with
the words:

Alewife.

THROUGH this fish has nothing
whatever to do with ale, 1t is
known on our Atlantic Coast
Il from Carolina southwark not
only as alewife, but as "blear-
eyed herring" Still other names for
this fish are the ellwife and the big
eyed herring. The general range is from
Nova Scotia and the Gulf Of st. Law
renee south to the Carolinas. The ale
wife Is also found in Lake Ontario,
where 1t Is very abundant, and in sew
eral small lakes in New York which
are tributary to the st. Lawrence. In
these locations the fish Is land-locked
and does not reach the size of those in
Southern waters. Millions die in the
early Summer in Lake Ontario. g.
In the Spring, about three weeks
earlier than the Shad begin to run,
alewives seek fresh water in which to
spawn. Early settlers found millions
of alewives in the streams from Cape
Sable to Cape Cod. There were so
ord which says: Experience hath
taught that at New Plymouth, in April,
there Is a fish much like the herring
that comes up into the small brooks to
spawn, and when the water is not knee
deep they will presse up through your
hands-yes, tho you geat at them with
cudgels-and in such abundance as is
incredible"
However, during the past two CEN
turies the number of alewives has di-
minished, and their range has become
restricted, both by destruction and over
fishing. as well as by the pollution Of
the waters by manufacturing wastes and
the erection of dams. Still. the alewives,
in spite of so many handicaps, are well
known to many along our coast and
yield an abundant catch In many OF
our streams.
In early April the alewives appear
in the few streams that are tributary
to Massachusetts, Bay. They are not
seen in the Maine rivers or in the st.
John until late April or early May. The
temperature Of the water governs the
time of the run. The alewives spawn
in ponds, never running water Each
mother may lay from $1,000 to 100,-
900 eggs-aecording to her age and size.
And usually size Is governed by age.
A few days are all the time needed
to lay this vast number Of eggs, and
the mother returns to her home again.

You bid a diamond. Your partners
response is two diamonds. If a major
suit were involved, you would pass, feel
ing that game was hopeless since lie
could make no stronger or more In
formative bid. However, he is respond
ing to q minor suit bid and may there
fore have considerable values in your
two weak suits, though he was unable
to bid either of them. Bid three dia-
monds to give him a further chance.
If he has the queen Of diamonds, he
now knows that he can run five sure
tricks in that suit; though you have
shown a minimum hand, he knows you
have q primary trick somewhere else
In the hand. If he can see chances Of
taking three tricks in his own hand
before a suit can be run against him.
he can bid three trumps and there will
be reasonable play for it. If he passes
three diamonds. no harm is done; you
are almost sue to make 1t, and at
worst a set Of one is no disaster since on
other similar hands this bidding will
produce games and safeguard your
partner from the need to overbid on
his first response. Again, your bid of
three diamonds may shut out an over
call In hearts by your left-hand oppo-
nent. Had you passed two diamonds, he
would have known that he was not
trapped between two big hands, and
could have gotten in a bid advantage
ously, especially II not vulnerable.
Over Other Responses.
Over a heart response, bid one no
trump; telling your partner that you
have a minimum hand. Unless he has
natural rebid, this may well be the
best contract II he rebids to two
