DOCKET your pride, if you troubled with corns.
Il and get shoes that will fit and that will en-
able you to walk properly
One of the most common views reoardino tho
causes Tor these local chickering's Of the horny LAYERS
OF the skin is that they usually the result of pres
sure and friction of ill-ftting shoes.
OF course, there is also the possibility that weak
neSses in various parts of the foot overaction of
certain muscles may force certain parts OF the foot
into contact with the shoe.
In fact, the position of the corn on the foot ndi-
Gates to medical investigators difficulties that may
be present in acton of the muscles.
There are other troubles besides corns There
may be callouses or callosities which represent a.
uniform thickening of the skin occurring particularly
or the ball Of the foot and then there are warts
which occur on the soles of the feet and usually re-
suit from infection.
GENERALLY, however corns are the things that
" trouble persons most, and these can be corrected
by getting shoes that fit and permit you to walk
properly.
The chief trouble with shoes in relationship to
the appearance Of corns is not that they fit badly
but that they cause you to walk badly. This occurs
more commonly among women than among men,
because women are much likely to choose their
shoes for style rather than for reasons associated
with health of the feet
If the heels Of the shoes are too high and if the
supporting surface above the heel is thrown too far
forward the foot is damned into the toe cap. This
cramps the action Of the toes and corns be-
tween the toes.
IF the shoes or stockings happen to be too short
Il the toes are curled up with the nails resting on
the sole Of the shoe. This will also result in the
appearance of corns on the pads near the nails
If the sole Of the shoe is too narrow, the ends Of
the small bones in the toes will be forced downward
and caluses will be found in the foot The best
evidence Of this is the fact that the sole Of the shoe
is pressed down in the middle shows little sign
Of wear at the edges.
If there is calus at the back Of the heel without
signs Of wear on the lining Of the shoe either side,
the heel Of the shoe is probably too wide.

EUen Bill Yelled -Four

THE only time he was unable to handle himself
u in fight was when a rough-and- tumbe cam
paigner from the opposition threw off dignity forgot
the serious issues and rolled with him in his own
battle-ground the gutter. Mr.. Thompsons OPP
ponent went around town shouting that Big Bill had
the hide of rhnCcerous and the brain of baboon.
Then for once he emitted yelp of foul" complain
ing that his rival was indulging in personalities
He ran wild, Wide-open town but, today, though
he has been out and gone for years. Chicago is
as vicious as Havana ever was. Twenty years from
now there will be reminiscent stories in the papers
about the picturesque vice which thrived in Chicago
during the world fair of 1888 and "a.
Mr.. Hyan was one of those angry men, He was
peoples defender against the interests and the
porate press. He hated reporters because they used
to quote him literally and describe his official antics
with solemn fidelity which is the most poisonous
kind of propaganda to a public man of his type.
The Journalists were always rubbing Mr. Hylan and,
having 70 sense of humor, he ribbed easily. It was
tun to poke him up and make him wild
Mr.. Hylan was funny in the dead-pan manner
and the citizens so loved their fun that they ran
him out only to substitute a funnier comedian with
a more obvious style Mr. Walker. He cost them more
but he gave better show and that what they
wanted.

borrow huge sums for this pur-
pose. In ten years preceding the
break, Baltimore, for instance,
borrowed $1OO,OoO,O0O which she
promised to pay back in the fu-
ture. Meantime it was all spent
putting men to work to make
streets, put up buildings, schools,
etc.
But the time came when these
cities, these states, these rail-
roads, these building corporations
could borrow no more. Their
credit was exhausted or they had
built more than they could sell.
They stopped. And when the cap
ital goods industries stop the de-
preston is here.
THIS sort of thing was at its
l. normal end in 1927. The slump
should have come then. Here is
where Wall Street comes back
into the picture. The boom did
not end because Wall Street had
invented new and weird devices
for getting easy credit so that it
was possible to go on raising
money for expansion long after

hence the people to whom I paid
that $4,000 each year no longer
get it, and no longer can employ
people to make goods for me. Now
if there are enough people like
me you can see easily enough that
the effect, when the borrowing
ceases, will be very serious.

THE next point to remember is
Il that the borrowing that does
the trick for us and produces pros
perity is long-term borrowing.
Short-term borrowing to be repaid
in a few months is practically the
same as cash.
1t is long-term borrowing which
we do not have to repay for sew
eral years which counts. Lots of
our railroads and corporations Dor
rowed money which is not to be
repaid until A. D. 2037. This kind
of borrowing is almost always
done for the purchase of capital
goods-investment goods-durable
things like houses, buildings, To-
comotives, heavy machinery.

A LII through the boom years
L n there were plenty of depres-
sions-focal points of infection.
The wheat farmers were in a de-
preston. So were the cotton grow
ers. The textile industry bor-
dered on collapse. The copper in
dustry was in bad way. So was
the coal industry. So were the
retail grocers who were failing at
the rate of 33 per cent a year. 1t
is incredible how many there were
when we supposed the nation
prosperous.
We refused to notice this. The
simple truth is that the collapse
should have come in 1927. Why
didn't it come in 1927?
Well, first, we have to ask why
were we prosperous at all? The
answer is that our prosperity was
the fruit of the capital goods in
duStries.
Every time we make a pair of
shoes to sell for IS we must make

er to buy them. We know how
shoes are made. But how do we
make purchasing power? We
make purchasing power while we
are making shoes.

your work or investments used in
producing goods.
The trouble is that we do not
make enough purchasing power
to buy the goods that we produce.
If something else did not in
tervene we would be in perpetual
depression. What is it that comes
to our rescue? It is credit.
WE didn't make enough pur-
w chasing power in 1925 to
pay for what we manufactured
that year. But we could buy
lot of things in 1925 and promise
to pay for them in 1926 or 1927 or
1887 of 1897. We borrow from the
future to buy in the present.
We keep borrowing each year
until finally we have piled up
such a mass of debt that we can
borrow no more.
If I earn $4,000 a year and can
borrow another $4,000, I can spend
$4,000. I can spend $4,000 each
year as long as I can borrow.
But the day comes when my
creditor won't lend me any more.
Then I can not spend $4,000. I
can not even spend $4,000.

insult was busy gathering in

Building was overdone. Plant
expansion was overdone. The need
for these things and the credit Of
the groups which do these things
was exhausted finally despite all
the new financial inventions.
In doing all this. bank credit
had become pyramided out of all
reason. Remember there was only
about four billion of real money in
the country. This had been loaned
and loaned and loaned through
the medium of the banks until
the actual amount of deposits
created by these loans was fifty
five billion dollars.
When the bubble burst and
loans were called these deposits
began to evaporate. Banks found
themselves unable to turn their
frozen loans into funds to meet
depositors. The bank system be-
gan to totter.
NF course, other agencies added
~ to our Notwithstanding
foreign trade, industries failing
through natural causes, like the
textile industry, the railroads. But
the fundamental cause of the
prosperity was the rise of the capt.
tai goods industries and the fun
damental cause of the depression
was their decline and failure.
Hoover had some inkling of
this. One month after the crash
he appealed to Governors to join
with federal government and pri-
vate industry to push prudent
construction programs.
He urged the railroad presidents
not to abandon their plans of re-
pair and building. But strangely
he did almost nothing to speed up
federal construction. In the first
six months of the depression he
made no increase in federal con-
struction awards.
The story of the depression can
be seen in the line representing
building. 1t has continued down
mercilessly right up to the min
ute. Were it not for some govern
ment projects now there would be
almost no building industry. And
the government projects are so
small as to be almost negligible.
