Diseased Conditions

Diseased conditions, Of course,
are quite as frequent causes of
painful feet as strain; but strain
IS often the beginning of a diseased
condition. The foot has arthritis
just as much or more so than any
other set Of joints. The constant
rubbing and contact with hard and
uneven ssrfaces creates roughneSs
that turns into arthritis.
Another source Of painful feet
are inAammations Of little bursa
that are placed between the bones,
especially the heads of the bones.
The bursa really are necessary,
since they are filed with a small
amount Of lubricating fluid and
keep the bones from scraping on
each other as they move.
Flat feet actually are in many
instances painful because Of the
creation Of these areas Of arth-
ritis, or Of infamed bursa, or
pressure Of the bones on exposed
nerves.

It's Big-Headedness. says sen,
George " Norris I'd Neb,
tina, is endangering the war effort
IN every quarter OF American life
We must get our feet on the
ground and take advantage OF the
experience OF others, he says. The
!dea that We can do everything on
a bigger and better scale than any
one else isn't going 10 win the war.
II some other nation builds fight
ing plane or any other equipment
better than We can build il. then
We can at least copy that equipment
until We can develop something
better.
Then he makes the suggestions:
:. Draw a production program
providing for the Standardization Of
vehicles, engines and other equip
ment, and complete interchangea-
bili,y o. parts.
2. Increase American produc-
ton OF successful equipment used
by other nations on the ground
that the cost will be less in plants
that are beyond enemy bombing
range.
s. Speed up the program calling
for better utilization OF small plants
capable Of participating in the war
effort.
These are good suggestions.
They sound as though the senator
had been talking with Henry Ford,
the pioneer IN Standardization in
increased production and in utili-
cation OF small plants.
1t is gratifying 10 know that such
practical ideas are altering through

fciently in the minds OF men in

suits. We have the men and the
material We have men OF ability

duce and the fact that they know

iococcus infection? Explain the
cause, symptoms, effects, etc.
Answer: The staphylococcus is
the germ that is essentially the
pus producing organism. All skin
bolls, carbuncles, pimples, etc, are
due to the invasion Of the skin by
the staphylococcus. 1t also IN
vaGes the inside structures Of the
body - such as the nose, throat,
and ear. Very rarely it invades
the blood stream and produces a

Bones Compressed

An x-ray showed that the bones
from the first 20 fifth toes had
ridges across the top and that the
shoe compressed these bones and

What Is an Ideal Foot"7

The ideal foot IS purely matter
of definition. For a person of given
height and weight the exact point
where the most strain occurs can
be calculated to within a spot the
size of penny, on the heel, the
instep and the ball Of the toes. But
everyone hasn't toe bones of ex-
actly the same length, nor heel
bones Of exactly the same size.
They try to make adjustment and
sometimes the adjustment isn't
entirely successful.
Strain, increasing weight and
faulty shoe probably cause more
foot pain than anything else. The
strain may begin as an accident
so trivial as TO result in neglect.
Thus, woman suffered pain for
over 10 months in the top of the

By JACK GUENTHER

NEW YORK - Along Lam
mers' lane these days the wise
men OF boxing are whispering
the name of Melio Bettina with
a degree of respect normally re-
served for such subjects as black
plague, hooded cobras, race
track tips and the income tax.
Bettina, 1T appears. has bios
somed into what is known with
the trade as a menace.
Other heavyweights cross the
street To avoid him when he
passes. Promoters pretend that
he just doesn't exist and man
ayers are 30 shaken with fright
that a mass epidemic of nervous
breakdowns may he expected.
For Bettina shapes up as no
ordinary menace. He is the most
sinister specimen TO appear since
Harry Wills was stalking about
in 1926.
This swarthy Italian who has
been bringing home the bacon
to Beacon, n. Y, for several
years doesn't look his part. He
is on the short and squat side
and so far as l can determine he
doesn't bite, pull hair, or gouge.
His only sin Ia that of being
left-handed in his approach.
More colorfully put, he is a
southpaw or a port-sider.
Such an offense may appear
mild to the layman but within
the box-fighting business it is q
crime of great magnitude. Bet
tina jabs with his right and
crosses sharply with his left.
These unorthodox gestures
tend 10 confuse his opponents.
When confused, they must resort
To their wits. Such desperate
groupings usually prove fatal.
Because of his peculiar Of

more run-arounds than a May

non practieing magician and
hypnotist named Jimmy Grippe,
have challenged practically
everyone in boxing, but the re-
Spouse has been unanimously
negative. From Joe Louis to the
career buns, boxing wants no
truck with Bettina.
The Louis case is a simple one.
Joe has never been faced with a
lefthsnded opponent. He would

Sugar Meets
Make Berger

NEW YORK-Ray Sugar Rob
inson. Harlem's Little Joe Louis,
risks boxing's biggest winning
streak and a shot at the worlds
welterweight championship tonight
when he battles rugged Make
Berger in a scheduled 12Iound
bout at Madison Square Garden.
The 21-year-old Negro is a Al
favorite to register his 117th
straight victory and his 2sth con-
secutive professional triumph. The
odds are even that he kayoes the
former Canadian lightweight and
welterweight champion.
A crowd of 10000 and a gate
Of $50, 900 are expected. The Ma
tional Infantile Paralysis founda-
ton will receive a share of the
receipts.
Robinson was conceded an
edge In speed and punching
power while Berger was ex-
pected to hold an approximate
four-pound weight advantage.
The winner undoubtedly will
get a shot at the 141-pound
title held by Freddie (Red)
Cochrane.
Robinson's rise has been rapid
since he turned professional in
October, 1910, after winning 80
straight amateur fights. OF his
~ pro victories. he has won 81
by knockouts. His most recent
victory was over Fritzie Civic, the
former middleweight king.
Berger, at Is. is the best Cana
dian in the ring today and drew
much support because of his awk-
ward style and unusual stamina.
He was born in Weymouth, Nova
Scotia, and has had almost 100
bouts.
