warts?" but as a matter OF fact
IL simply shows he is a learned
gentleman for there are many
different kinds of warts.
The scientific name for warts
Is "verrucae." What you usu-
ally mean when you say wart
is verruca vulgaris, or the COM
mon wart.
II is most common on the
hands, but Is seen at times In
other places such as on the scalp
and mucous membranes. 1t is
the hard. dome-shaped, painless
growth from the skin not asso-
ciated with any inflammation
around il.
TTIE fiat wart of childhood
l. fverruca plana juvenilis) is
rarely seen on adults, but is
common in children on the face
and backs of the hands. They
come in all sizes from that OF a
pinhead up. are fiat and soft and
are sometimes seen TO be little
infamed.
The plantar wart Is an an
noying variety because it occurs
on the bottom Of the foot,
usually under the heel or big
toe and hurts to beat the band.
They are probably very much
the same as verruca vulgaris,
but standing on them mashes
them down. so instead OF stick
ing out from the surface OF the
skin they lie beneath it and be-
come covered with heavy
callous.
Any kind OF tender callous
on the sole of the foot should
suggest that a plantar wart is
underneath IL and when the
callous is trimmed away, the
wart viii be revealed in its nest.
Verruca scrimata are on the
moister parts of the skin. The
seborrhoeis or senile wart oc-
ours in elderly people on the
face, head or trunk.

New Deal Fights
Parity Proposal
In New Measure

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-tUPD-
Legislation requiring the govern
ment to include the cost of farm
labor in maximum prices fixed on
agricultural products would raise
the general cost of living five or six
per cent and the price of food and
clothing l3 to Ii per cent, admin
iStration Spokesmcn cOntended to-
day.
The 100 per cent of parity base on
which farm prices are fixed, 1t was
said, would be increased to ia or
lis per cent.
The legislation, backed by the con-
gressional farm bloc, was whooped
through the House with little op-
position and was reported unani-
mouSlv by the Senate agriculture
committee. Senator Elmer Thomas,
Democrat. Oklahoma, one of the
leaders Of the farm bloc, will seek
TO append the measure to Il bill in
creaSing the borrowing power of
the Reconstruction Finance corpo-
ration by $4,000 900 900.
Both proposals. however, are
caught in legislative jam and
Thomas believes the farm bloc is
dead for this session. The admin
istration. cognizant that the meas
ure represents merely the reopen
ING of the old fight between the
executive branch and the farm bloc
over parity prices, is gearing to OPP
pose it in the next Congress.
