Medical Care

III O0A OAGS WI. D.l
The feet, like every othe~ part of
the body, should be ...iven care at
all times, but it seems in tn spring
and arly summer they need more
care than usual. This year abnor-
ly all sections of the country, and
hard rains, cause many feet to
NAL temperatures throughout near
ache, especially rubbers,
overshoes and heavy footwear are
discarded.
In children, tie prevention of foot
defects should be stressed and it is
the objective of the National Foot
Health Council to point out the ne
cessity and proper method of doing
this. In school examinations in
large cities, an average of rs per
cent of boys and girls of high
school age were found foot de-
fective; some with corns, others
with ingrown nails, S o e with
weak arches, and many showing
marked tendencies to the develop
ing Of large joints, hammer toes
and bunions. Corns and ingroWn
toenails are not serious in them
selves but they probably mean that
proper footwear is not being used.
The healthiest of all feet are
found in those who go b~arefooted.
True, they have calluses but these
are not the same as corns. For
children, at this time of the year,
nothing could be healthier than to
encourage them to go bare-footed
around the house, in the yard and
on beaches. Any cuts or abrasions
that they get should be treated
antiseptically, but these r minor
disadvantages compared to the ad-
vantage which is gained in the
strengthening of the feet, i'm
provement in arch support and
functional efficiency.
---- Strong Proper Care
Another objective of the Council
is industrial foot care through the
advancement of programs directed
to men and women whose employ
ment keeps them on their feet.
The program stresses, first, cor
rect footwear and, second, proper
foot care.
Chiropodists and podiatrists are
now quite scientifically trained
and have a century of service be-
hind them. The first c%hiropody Of
flee was opened in Boston in 1910.
This year the National Association
of Chiropodists will observe the
centennial during its annual con-
vention in Boston.
Foot care is not a luxury limited
to a few, it can be enjoyed by per-
sons in all walks of life and at all
ages. Throughout this land there
are foot clinics, many OF them IN
f~rst-class hospitals, where chirop-
odists and podiatrists are avail
able to care for the foot problems
of men. women and children re-
CARELESS of their circumstances.
Don't neglect your feet. Don't
wait until they have become a
major problem. Too often minor
defects go untreated n dlsre-
garded until they become OF Grip
ping proportions.
It is not unusual for foot trou-
bles to react on the entire system.
Many women who are fatigued ~
a shopping trip, get that way from
foot posture.

Behind The Scenes In
Washington

o1lIll lSC0llLlv,
Americans generally understood
that they had probably the best
military planes in the world. Late
ly the pendulum has swung over
to the other end of the arc, so
that folks r getting the idea that
Uncle Sans fighing planes are
hopessly out of date, so outclassed
that they might as well be thrown
away.
The truth lies between the two
extremes.
Most planes in the U. S. military
service today have been outmoded
but they're still good airplanes
and could be extremely useful in
a If that weren't true, the allies
wouldn't be SO anxious to get them.
OLD PURSUIT SHIPS
STILL USEFUL
A good illustration is the pur-
suit plane-the plane which exists
to fight enemy airplanes. It has
to have high speed, so that it
can make the enemy fight when
he doesn't want to fight; it has to
have maneuverability, SO it can
handle itself when the fight starts,
and it has to be able to climb fast.
A couple of years ago the Cur
tiss P-36 was the army's pet pur-
suit plane. For export, Curtiss sold
the rs, which was much the same
ship. The Spanish republicans
bought and used a lot of these and
found they were tops. The French
stocked up with quite a number,
and in the early part of the present
war they beat the German Mes
serschmidt with a 40-mile speed
advantage-and the 75's had to be
taken out of frontline service, be-
cause they no longer could force
a fight on the Germans when the
Germans didn't want me-.
But the rs still isn't useless. If
the situation is such that your
enemy must attack and defeat
your fighting planes in order to
carry out his mission, a disad-
vantage in speed doesn't hurt you.
The rs can still maneuver as well
as the Messerschmidt, and out
climb it to boot; hence for strictly
defensive purposes it's a perfectly
good ship. It's obsolescent-but not
obsolete.
FAMOUS "STUKAS"
ARE "ERSATZ"
The famed German stukas, or
dive-bombers, are anothr case in
point.
Many of these, experts here sus-
pect, are simply out-of-date attack
planes. For ordinary purposes,
they're nearly useless; for the new
German tactic, they're as good as
they need to be. A. lot of them
will inevitably be lost in any pow
erhourse'' attack-but if they ac-
complish their n specific mis-
sion they've done all that was
asked.
In the U. S. air force, this type
of work would be done by the
light bomber. Air corps experts
point out that a plane which was
out of date for ordinary high al
titude bombing missions could still
fill this role well.
STILL GOOD
FOR SOMETHING
In general, a bombing plane
needs two characteristics-speed,
and defensive power in guns and
armor. Above a certain level IL
must skimp on one to save on
the other. 1t may be badly obsoles'
cent in one respect and not obso-
lescent at all in the other-and
hence, though outdated, still nave
a lot of value. Also, bombers are
generally accompanied and pro-
tected, by pursuit planes; a given
flight of bombers could be nearly
worthless if it's protecting" fighters
were outclassed, but 100 per cent
efficient if it's fighters were SUI
perior to the enemy's. z
