Cary, come here!"
Obediently, Cary crossed the
floor and stood before his s-&lld-

the younger mans countenance.
Cary, would you use anything
disparaging to the family in that

Cary's head lifted proudly; his
voice was convincing, as was his
answer.
81 would not, Granddad. I'm as

Game Refuge Plan
Will Aid Sportsmen

The Interior Department an
nounced yesterday that Lake Malta
muskeet National Wild Life Refuge
in North Carolina will be improved
to accommodate a much larger num-
Der of wild fowl.
Although the bottom of the large
but shallow man-made lake lit
averages only 2 feet deep is eX-
tremely fertile. due to the fact farm
land was flooded to create it, wave
action in the central portions of the
lake keeps the water so stirred up
that the water plants which ducks,
geese and swans delight in consum-
ing cannot take root
The Fish and Wild Life Service
has worked out a plan to construct
a series of low dikes to break up
the sweep of the waves, giving water
plants chance to grow.
In this way the lake will support
far greater numbers of waterfowl,
it was said, and far better cunning
will be provided Mattamuskeet is
one of the few refugees where the
public is allowed shooting privileges.
At present the lake has as large a
population of whistling swans. Can
ada geese, canvasback, pintails,
mallards, black ducks and other
species as it can handle.

American relations for As minutes
yesterday before undertaking his as

partment officials explained that

friend and representative, without

no official information concerning

President Roosevelt, in announcing
Mr. Hopkins new assignment, eX-

indicated he would leave within the
next few days.
So far as is known Mr.. Hopkins
will not take any assistants or aides
from the State Department with him,
but will have the full facilities of
the American Embassy and its staff
at his disposal.
At the same time that he an
nounced Mr.. Hopkins appointment
the President said he would send
the name of Joseph P. Kennedy's
successor as Ambassador to London

Armed Forces Need
Foot Specialists,
Association Insists
Stotus EquuI TO Other
Branches Of Medicine
In Service Urged

A soldiers feet as we'll as his teeth,
eyes, heart and lungs, should be
considered in the national defense
program, in the opinion Of the Ma
tional Association of Chiropodists.
The association has proposed 10
the Navy Department that chiropo-
dists- -podiatrists be given a status
in the armed forces equal to special
lists in other branches of medicine.
In presenting it's case to the NAVY,
the association predicted that Of tup
100000 men registered. msuv
when inducted into service would
develop minor foot ailments.
In the opinion of some authorize.
it was stated, approximately 10 per
cent OF the men inducted will find
the unprecedented wear and tear on
their feet of service life resulting in
foot disabilities.
Subject to Many Ailments.
A finished soldier, the association
pointed out, is required to march 20
miles a day with a 60-pound pack.
During these maneuvers, the soldier
is liable, in the opinion Of the ssso-
citation, to develop such unpleasant
nesses as cOrns, callouses, ingroWn
nails and blisters, to say nothing Of
acute metatarsalgia and bursitis.
Chiropodists of the association AL
so offered the Navy their services IN
supervising the fitting of shoes.
Merely having shoe on the foot
that looks right they stated, Is
not enough"
They recommended a shoe WIN
a hard box toe, cloth lining %
absorb moisture, rubber heels, with
the heels one lift higher than the
average and wedge along the inner
border to aid in preventing foot
strain.
The association also advocated
regular foot inspection to prevent
and control the so-called ring worm
or athletes foot.
Veteran Quoted.
The case for chiropodlsts also IN
/ cluded a quotation from one who
saw active service in the World Wa
Many times, he reported, the foot
sick line was longer than the reg
I ular sick line.
! Quoting from q report OF the
Medical Department Of the I. s.
ARMY in the World War, the asso-
citation asserted that 6.39 men per
1000 were victims of fiat feet IN
the World War.
Foot inspection in one unit Of the
18th Pennsylvania Infantry brought
these results, according to the asSo-
citation report:
Among the 1.o87 men inspected
were found $50 corns, 1853 CAL
louses. 636 crowded toes, Is hammer
toes, SO overlapping toes, 1852 in
grown nails and 6l3 bunions. A
total Of 27o men inspected had good
feet.
An inspection of this units foot
wear showed 476 men were wear
ing shoes one or more sizes too
small and 131 had shoes too large.
| Many Athletes Affected.
The average age Of men when
they develop foot defects puts them
within the draft age, the associa
ton asserted. Surveys. 1t was said
disclose that better than 30 per cent
/ of adults over IS have foot defects
Ninety per cent of the athletes under
80 years of age examined showed
corns or callouses, while all but
two players of the Red Sox Base
ball Club had foot ailments wher
! they were examined.
