EVER TRY OIL TREATMENT
FOR CORNS?

These pests often find lodging under,
on top of, or between the toes. Of
curse you all know they are your
own fault. They couldn't help appear

never intrude themselves into polite

guests that stay longer than they are
wanted, once their character is known,
If your feet need soaking-soak

Silver and Paper Money

In the same Act which authorized
the d~evaluation of the gold dollar-the
Thomas Amendment to the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Act-the President
was also authorized to resume the free
and unlimited coinage of silver dol
lars and to fix the relative value Of
such silver coinage and the gold dol
lar in his sole discretion.
The President was also authorized
to issue up to three thousand million
dollars of paper money based on gov
eminent credit without any metallic
reserve behind it. He has not exer-
cised that power of currency initiation,
and has not done nearly as much to re-
habilitate silver as the ardent silveriIes
wished.
These monetary matters are, in
many aspects, highly controversial
stuff, and the new Congress might cas-
lily get into a jam over the question OF
whether it should proceed to fix the
value of the coinage, or continue to
leave it to the President, or do moth
ing about tin which case the pres
ent Presidential authority ovef these
things would expire by time limita-
ton, and Congress could leave the
money situation "as is" for later con-
sideration and turn to other matters.

Regardless of who is elected Presi-
dent on Nov. 3, and whether the
House of Representatives in the new
Congress has a Republican or a Demo-
cratic majority, some highly import
ant decisions will have to be made by
the new Administration and Congress
at the very beginning of things.
Several Of the most widely-dis-
cussed laws enacted by the 73rd and
74th Congresses will expire by limita-
ton early in 1887. The new 18th Con-
gress viii take Office at noon on jan
nary g.. President Roosevelts term,
whether he is reelected or not, will
not expire until loon on January goth.
There will be a period Of II days in
which, even if Mr.. Landon should be
elected President, with a Republican
House of Representatives, Congress
will be in session but Mr.. Roosevelt
will still be President.
Congress Must Act
Either in that period or in the ten
days following the Inauguration, the
Congress will have to decide whether
or not it will withdraw the authority
which the 73rd Congress granted 20
the President in May, 1888, to deval-
ue the dollar; for that authority ex-
pires by limitation on January 30th
next. Under this authority, the Presi-
dent, by proclamation, reduces the
gold content of the dollar by a shade
over 40 percent; under the law he
could have reduced it as much as me
half.
Since early 1888, therefore, all OF
the Federal Governments financial OPP
erations and, naturally, all banking
and business transactions and calcula-
tons, have been in terms of a lower
value dollar.
Whatever Congress might do, either
in extending or withdrawing the au-
thority of the President to lower the
gold value of the dollar still further,
or to increase it, would in itself have
little effect. The dollars themselves is
sued under Presidential proclamation
would still be dollars, and obligations
incurred in terms of such dollars
would call for payment in whatever
values might be called dollars.
There is a likelihood if the Repub-
leans should be victorious in Novem-
Der, that the new Congress would vote
promptly to withdraw this and other
powers which its predecessors granted
to the Executive, as a matter of party
principle, without necessarily in any
way multiplying any of the acts which
the President has performed under
them.

Style Chats

Paris (UP) - Chanel launches in her new collection a small vi- sored cap which is patterned exact- ly after the shallow school caps worn by small boys. For sport wear, the small caps are made in plaid woolens to match the coats or lin- ings of the new Chanel suits. The same cap is made in leather to be worn with country suits of wool that are trimmed with matching leather collars, cuffs, buttons and belts. The same shape is even made up in beaver, broadtail and other firs to go with afternoon dresses and coats in velvet. The boys cap has a shallow crown like that of a beret and has only the tiniest of visors projecting over the forehead
 Chanel costumes are always com plete in themselves. She makes an afternoon ensemble in violet velve- teen which consists of a tailored shirtwaist dress and a long, rather fitted violet velveteer coat trimmed with large, tlpstanding collar oi silver fox fur. The costume is fin ished with a small toque made oi artificial violets. Similarly, an eve- ming gown in pale green velveteen is complete with all accessories. The gown, which has a low-cut decol- lete, is fitted to the figure to below the hips, where the skirt takes on ftilness by means of several flat tiered bands of doubled velvet. A twisted piece of the green velvet forms turban-like headdress with which green velvet sandals and long, elbcw-length gloves are also worn.

mined before he even sees her? Miss Smith is as she may be-, and very likely a good teacher; but the harm done is not to her as much as to this boy himself.
 Criticism Harmful
 Then there are other matters that may shake his faith in school. For instance, if he hears older folk knocking the whole system and saying what should be done and what not. It is fatal mistake we make these days to criticize methods used in local schools and to compare them with what Is being done somewhere else, or perhaps with new progressive or experimental schools.
 Once Johnny gets the idea that he isn't being done right by, he is likely to take one long look at the building on that first day and VOW to himself that he isn't going to try n a place that is all wrong anyway. Maybe, it is. Maybe it is the worst school on earth, where they only teach the three Rs and make the children mind; but that isn't any reason why the boy should not get at least that much and get it well.
 Another matter that comes up every now and then is the democ- racy of the classroom. As time goes on there is tendency to de- cry the different kinds, creeds, races and nationalities in dis tricts. And to add that 1t is a share our dear little Johnny has to go daily among them. This is one huge mistake. The bpulic school is for the purpose of edu- eating everybody and elevating the underprivileged. MT. Big Tax payer may resent itand think his child should have a special room to himself, but it won't cd for him to talk about it in the childs hear ing, because in time this same youngster won't feel that heis in the right place, and therefore won't work.
 Child Needs Confidence
 There are still other matters of like kind that will easily affect the pupils attitude toward school. But one thing stands out-the more he hears against the system, the building, the room or his teacher and fellow classmates, the less he will enjoy his school life. A secret conviction that things are wrong will crumble his confi- dence, and without 1t he cannot be at his best. Confidence in school life is as important as con- I fidence at home. Actually the child wants to like his associates, and will take the whole business phil osophically if we let him alone. i How unfair 1t is to handicap him with our opinions and worries, even though wemay be entitled to air them.
 The child who goes to school supported by home approval, we'll rested, nourished, groomed and un- fettered by private troubles, has the best chance to succeed.

WOMAN,S REALM - Lai
-l1EAUG4----'-. - .- GI0rUying
 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

The best authorities agree that any woman who uses liquid polish should oil her nails at least twice a week. Plain olive oil will do, or she can use one of the commercial ly prepared nail creams or oily lo- tions.
 Hot oil manicures are especially beneficial to cuticles that crack and nails which break easily. After you have used file and emery board, simply soak fingerptips of both hands in warm olive oil. Wipe of the excess, then, in the regular man. ner, proceed to remove rough edges and dead skin around cuticle.
 one good Fifth avenue manicurist disagrees with the popular theory that polish will not adhere unless nails are absolutely dry and grease less when it is applied. She oils each nail lightly before putting on colored lacquer. The thin coating of oil prevents nails from drying out while the polish is on.
 For women who groom their own nails, there is 8 new manicure kit which contains several interesting preparations, including an oil to be used during the manicure, 8 cuticle cream to be massaged on at night, rose lacquer, polish remover, emery boards and new type of bleach which isn't drying. The bleach comes in diminutive tube. You simply squeeze a bit of it under meath each nal, leave on for few moments, then remove with nail brush and soapy water. Incidental ly, this would be a handy kit for the college girl to take back to school.
 Speaking of preparations for col lege girls, why not give your fa- vorite co-ed an inexpensive but completely equipped box of beauty aids to use on week-ends away from the campus? One of these contains cleansing and night cream, tonic, two powders and lipstick. It fits into the corner of 8 weekend case and eliminates the bother of wrapping several separate items in tissue paper or running the risk of powder smudges on neatly packed clothes.

It is difficult to lay down hard and fast rules as to what constitutes a sound slam bid. Some experts lean backward in insisting on the prac- tical certainty of fulfilling the con- tract before undertaking a slam, but I think the general run of players get a greater kick out of the hands in which they attempt great things and make them by a lucky combina- ton of skill and luck, with luck pre- dominant.
 Take today's hand, which was sent to me by Ralph H. Rosenthal, of Morristown, Pa. Plenty Of luck was needed to make it, and the sit uation must have appeared deSper- ate when the opening lead was made.
 The bidding was very optimistic, but was based, as is often the case in rubber games, more on psychol- ogy tha non cards. Vests three heard bid was, to North and South, a tip-off that West held probably a long string of hearts and little else. In fact, his bid acted as an urge to the slam contract, which, of course, wa stheoretically too high.

Food Suggestions
By MRS. MARY E. DAGUE

E Desserts made in ring molds ale nWays look attractive. They're popu- ear,, too, because it's so easy by vary ang the center filling to make the elish seem different each time it's served.
 Hungarian Cream" made with sour cream, is 8 delicious ring mold pudding that never fails. Fresh aruit, strawberry jam, and peach preserve are all delicious as center Billing. If you do not have a ring mold or prefer some other form, the pudding will turn out just as suc- eessfully.
 Here is the recipe:
 Hungarian Cream for Six 1-2 pint sour cream, 2 eggs, 3 Tablespoons sugar, 1-2 tablespoons gelatin, l teaspoon vanilla, fruit or pTeserves. First, beat the whites very stiff. &Text, beat the yolks with the sugar until light and fluffy.
 Mix the egg yolks, sugar and stiff whites with the sour cream.
 Soak the gelatin in Ia cup of bold milk (use 6 tin measuring cup gor this) for 6 minutes and then place the cup over Q little boiling water until the gelatin dissolves completely.
 |. Add the dissolved gelatin to the &ther mixture. Mix well.
 Add the vanilla.
 Pour the pudding into c mold ainsed with cold water and chill in &he refrigerator about Ia to 2 &ours, minimum.
 Unmcld, and if e ring-mold is used. i'll the center with preserves, Strawberry, peach, cherry or any gthcr filling you choose.
 Another variation is to add Ia sup of preserves to the pudding be- fore chilling.
 This gives pretty effect when 1ynnoided because the preserves will form . ring around the top of the pudding.
 This Hungarian Cream Is lighter and much more delicate than any eustafd or cornstarch pudding.
 Here's another recipe to dress up q simple meal chocolate whipped cream to be used on leftaover cake or as . substitute for frosting on Q Fresh cake. l
 Chocolate Whipped Cream i-2 cup whipping cream, l-3 sup sugar, 1-2 tablespoons co- eoa, i-4 teaspoon vanilla.
