holding up the shoe.
For heavens sake" Claire said,

Besides" said Dian, Bill need

Il certainly did" said Bill. He
shook his head sadly. Don't forget
that tragic scene you and enacted
upon your moonlit front porch"
"Bill-you poor darling!" said
Claire,
Il came hurrying up your walk

my footsteps light, my heart sing

back and think. You told me it was

Bill and Dian smiled at each

shared some wonderful secret.
Dian was swell to me" Bill con-
tinued. 1T was a sort of case Of

"Or when jilt meets jilt" said
Dian.
Claire looked from one OF them
to the other.

manded.

You agree with me- don't you,
Dian ?"

Paul and Bill each reached for

That's what I'd like to know"
said Paul.
"Oh, Bill, I forgot" Dian cried
suddenly. II was going to give you

You mean you're hungry"
Claire asked, shocked.
Yes, Claire" said Bill, II am"
"Imagine" Claire was frankly
annoyed. Hungry - and calling
each other by your first names

Yes, isn't it," said Dian. But
you'd hardly expect me to call Bill

ORPHAN CANDIDATES

President Roosevelt's pre-conven-
ton opposition to John J. Bennett.
Jr.. New Yorks Democratic candi-
date for governor. and GOODNESS eX-
hibited by Wendell Willkie toward
the Republican nominee, Thomas +.
Dewey appears likely to produce
the unique situation whereby both
candidates IL have to campaign
this fall without formal endorse
ment from the heads of their respec-
tive political parties.
Associates OF Mr. Roosevelt say
his present intention is to lend no
active support TO Bennett in his
race. although the President plans
10 vote for him.
Friends OF Willkie assert that he,
as titular head Of the Republican
party, likewise will avoid any ac-
tive role in Dewey's behalf. but
may make a speech in New York
City the week preceding election
day in which ne will urge support
OF the COP state ticket
Willkie will be able TO eliminate
himself gracefully from New York :
political scene during the coming
months inasmuch as he shortly de-
parts 10 China as good will rep
resentative OF this government and
will not return 10 the United States
until few days before the Noyem.
Der elections.
Mr.. Roosevelt will experience lit
tie mbarrassment in staying out
of the New York campaign since he
drew hardly anything but criticism
for getting into il N the first place
when he supported L. S Senator
James VI. Mead against Bennett,
the candidate backed by Democra-
tic State Chairman James A
Farley.
The sore spot in both the Demo-
cratic and Republican situation
seems TO be the question OF who
will control the sll-powerful dele
gates TO the 1914 national conven-
ton Of both parties. Should Dewey
be elected governor ii is certain
that he would hold the New York
Republican delegation in the palm
OF his hand two years hence. while
IL Bennett became New Yorks chief
executive. Farley might be expect
ed 10 control the Democratic dele
CATION.
The action OF New York's third
important political party - the
American LabCr-in naming its Cub
ernatorisl candidate. Dean Alfange,
appears unlikely TO draw strong
support from either President
Roosevelt or Mr.. Willkie. What re-
suit the Affauge candidacy VIII
have on the Bennett-Dewey race
cannot yet be predicted. although
there is no doubt but that he wiz
take a substantial block OF votes
away from the Democrats who
found the third party valuable in
the election OF Governor Lehman
over Dewey four years ago.

are many different kinds Of warts.
The scientific name for warts is
"verrucae. What you usually
mean when you say wart is YER
ruca vulgaris, or the common
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 as
ISOLATED with any Inflammation
around il.
The fiat wart Of childhood (ver-
ruca 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 pinhead up, are fiat
and soft and are sometimes seen to
be a little infamed.
Plantar Wart
The plantar wart is a very an
noying variety because it occurs
on the bottom of the foot, usually
under the heel or big toe and hurts
10 beat the band. They are proba-
bly, very much the same as YER
ruca vulgaris, but standing on
them mashes them down, so in
stead of sticking out from the
surface of the skin they lie be-
meath it and become covered with
a heavy callus. Any kind Of a
tender callus on the sole of the foot
should suggest that plantar wart
is underneath it and when the
callus is trimmed away, the wart
will be revealed in its nest.
Nerruca acriminata are on the
moister parts of the skin. The
seborrhoeic or senile wart occurs
in elderly people on the face, head
or trunk.
Probably all warts are due 10
infection with a filterable virus.
The difference in form is not due
to different viruses, but different
soils. On the soft, moist skin Of
children it causes the fiat wart,
and on the dry skin Of adults. the
vulgar, or the plantar wart. They
have certain degree Of conta-
giousness, especially TO different
parts Of the same persons skin, so
that crops Of them are a common
experience.
Treatment of Warts
The treatment Of warts is not
by any means always simple nor
is it always advisable to under
take it at home by yourself. OF
course, the best treatment Of all
for warts is X-ray exposure. This
destroys all kinds of warts.
Plantar warts should be treated
by a chiropodist as they are both
inaccessible to the owner and very
resistant to any form Of treat
ment.
