Diseased conditions, of course,
are quite as frequent causes of
painful feet as strain; but n strain
is often the beginning of 4 diseased
condition. The foot has arthri.is
just as much or more so than any
other set of joints. The constant
rubbing and contact with hard and
uneven surfaces creates roughncss

Another source of painful feet
are inflammations of little burSa

OF definition. For Il person OF given
height and weight the exact point
where the most strain occurs can
be calculated to within a spot the

act!y the same length, nor heel
bones OF exactly the same size.
They Try 20 make adjustment and
sometimes the adjustment isn't
entirely successful.

LIBYA:
Epic of Destruction

while the numbers of troops en-
gagged was not enormous as figured
from the Russian front, the British
Libyan offensive had taken on all
the aspects of what British COM
mentators called Fan epic Of ami
hilation."
General Rommeps mechanical
forces, what was left Of them, were
about to make "last stand be-
fore surrendering. The imperial
high command had declared without
equivocation that the British fleet
had the Germans escape cut off by
sea, and that the land forces had
them surrounded in Cyrenaica.
British thrusts were being report
ed even within the borders of
neighboring Tripolitania, point not
even reached in the previous inya-
sion by the British against only the
Italians.
Reports that the Italians were not
withdrawing as fast as the Germans
brought cartoonists to the fore in
this country, who showed German
and Italian forces racing away
from bayonets with Mussolini hold
ing a stop-watch on them, and grim
ming up at fiabbergasted Hitler.
The British tactics in Libya, well
carried out by strong forces, equal
to or superior to the enemy at all
times, had been to move westward
along southern route, shooting up

COAST:
Sea attacks

The Japanese submarine fleet, at
least part of it, was apparently ac-
tive off the California coast, coming
close inshore to attack coastwise
vessels. . ia
At least one submarine had been
sunk, according to an official an
nouncement. This craft had been
blown into debris by an army
bomber.
Two tankers, at least, had been
sunk, but some five others, after
attack, had been able to escape.
Few of them, If any, carried guns
as protection, and the shippers
seemed to feel they would be ex-
tremely useful.
Some of those who escaped told
of the submarines coming to the
surface and Smelling them, and that
il they'd had guns ''the subs would
have made wonderful targets"
Japanese Workmanship had been
so bad that the escaped vessels
were able to turn away from the
foe and make it to the mainland
coves in safety.
The attacks were widespread up
and down the coast, reaching from
the farther northern seaboard to
points south Of San Francisco.

PHILIPPINES:

PHILIPPINES:
Battle
In the hope Of saving the city from
bombing by Japanese, Manila had
been proclaimed an open city and
military headquarters Of the forces
defending the Philippines had been
moved elsewhere. This move was
designed to prevent the civilian
population from unnecessary bomb
ing raids.
It was becoming evident from the
news dispatches from the Far East
that the intensity Of the Japanese
drive against the Philippines was
growing and that the defenders,
facing six invasion points, and the
constant landing Of reinforcements,
were going to have all they could do
to defend the islands.
Five of the landing spots had been
on the island of Luzon, three to the
north, one to the east and one to
the northwest Of Manila, and the
sixth was on the island of Mindanao
at Davao, which the Japanese
claimed to have occupied.
This island and particularly
Davao port are heavily populated
by Japanese, and though the defend
ers had aid from the Dutch air force,
they had considerable fifth column
activity to face as well.
Most important landings were on
the Lingayen gulf, in which an esti-
mated 80 transports had been sight
ed on the first day, and at Atimonan,
rs miles east and slightly south OF
Manila, where there were said to be
40 transports.
Washington had estimated the to-
tai landing forces of the Japanese
at from $4,000 to 100000 men, and
while Manila sources seemed to
think this a little high, it was prob
able that they revised their estimate
upward after the Atimonan landing.
The combined Filipino and Amer
lean forces had held the enemy
pretty much to a standstill in the
north, but it was evident that the
Lingayen gulf landing and that at
Atimonan had as their object the
splitting Of General Douglas Mac
Arthur's defense forces into two
groups, a typical Axis maneuver.
The seriousness Of the situation
with regard to the Philippines was
not underestimated there or in this
country, and seemed to depend for
a successful outcome on the send
ing of supplies and feet units to the
scene.

DEFENSE GROUPS
COOPERATIVE

On returning to Washington
called Mrs. Morgenthau and some
Of her assistants in the Office Of
Civilian Defense, to learn what had
happened while Mayor LaGuardia
and / were on the West coast.
Then I considered some Of the Diff
fculties now arising. There have
been conflicting directions as to
what people should do in case of air
raids. The reason is that there are
quite number Of people, who have
nc, official sanction whatsoever, Civ
ing advice and directions about a
number of things.
In addition, there has been con-
dict in the minds of the people actu-
ally in charge of developing pro-
grams. However, much of the con-
fusion is being cleared up, as it al
ways is. Actual experience on the
West coast has helped.
War Impetus.
Up to the wars beginning it was
almost impossible to accomplish
any real work with state and local
defense councils, which were often
nonexistent or existent only on pa
per. Frequently, people who want
ed work were given no money by
state or local governments with
which to do so. Volunteers did not
materialize in such great numbers
until real war was upon us. Now

HONOLULU:
ReinfOrcements

Reports that heavy reinforce
ments of bombing and fighting
planes had arrived in Hawaii, and
that the air defenses of the islands
were once more on a firm footing
showed two things.
IS First, that Washington was not
passing up the defense of the Pacific
in favor of all other tactics, but
that Hawaii and other points would
get what reinforcements it was pos
sible to send.
The freezing Of employees labor
and wages on the Pearl Harbor re-
pair job also showed there was a
determination to clean the affair up
as rapidly as possible. Hundreds
Of mechanics had been rushed there
from the mainland and the work was
under way.
Also these two facts proved their
corollary to be true, that the sea
lanes between Hawaii and the main
land were open and disable, proof
that the feet was busy keeping
them that way.

SARAWAK:
Ndpy Successes

An "allied navy" and air force,
which might or might not have in
cluded Americans, was reported by
the British to have fallen with ter
rife force on an enemy landing
force at Sarawak.
The attack occurred shortly after
Sir Charles Brooke, the rajah, had
sharply criticized the British man
agement of the Far East defense,
and had said that the leadership had
been poorly selected.
The allied navy and air force fell
upon the Japanese fotilla, rapidly
sank three transports and set fire
to fourth, and threw the whole at
tempting landing body into confu-
sion.
The stalwart British forces on the
island Of Hong Kong, faced with al
most certain defeat, finally sur
rendered to the Japanese.

RUSSIA:
Finds Line

along the nearly l,UuU-mlle front In
Russia, late dispatches from that
district Of the world war seemed to
Indicate that the German resistance
was stiffening and that at long last
the Reds had found the Nazi "win-
ter line of resistance"
Up to that point the withdrawal
had Been practically route, and
there was Photographic evidence
appearing in the press to bear out
the Russian claims Of enormous
losses of material in the snowy
wastes Of that part Of the Soviet the
Germans had invaded.
Whether Hitler, reported raging
at his generals, would be able to
halt the backward sweep with Rus
sian pressure apparently undimin-
ished, was a problem.
But the tone of the Reds dis
patches had changed somewhat, and
were no longer telling of pursuits,
but rather Of break-throughs that in
dictated a German effort at holding
was now in progress.
Most of the other theaters of war
hoped the Germans would leave
plenty Of troops in Russia, and
Churchill, in the United States,
frankly said that ''Stalin had done
the world an enormous service"
