 Attemps to kill he fungus by treating the shoes to a formaldehyde bath or ultraviolet ray are futile, since immediate reinfection takes place when feet and shoes meet again.
 Preventive treatment is infinitely best for most ordinary manifesto tions of Athletes Foot-i. e., small cracks or tiny blisters. Swelling, red ness, marked blistering, and itching, which accompany advanced stages of the irritation from the fungus may be relieved by twice-daily half-hour soaking of the feet in po- tassium permanganate solution. The solution is made by diSsolving one five-grain tablet of potassium-per- managanate in 1-2 quarts of cold tap water. Calomine lotion before bedtime and frequent changes of hosiery also help to control and soothe the annoyance.

 Rubbing alcohol or 1-2 per cent tincture of iodine are both good daily treatment for cleansing and cutting down on precipitation. A lib- eral sprinkling of talcum powder on the feet and in the stockings and shoes tends to cut down on damp ness, and it is of particular caution to wipe the toes very carefully after bathing.

 Meeting Increase

Moscow, May 27-(UP)-Premier Josef Stalin received Joseph E. Davies last night and presumably handed the special American envoy a reply to President RooSevelt's long personal letter.
 The subject matter of Mir RooSe- velt's letter has not been revealed, but there has been speculation that Davies was sent here to arrange for a personal meeting among the pres ident, Stalin and Prime Minister Churchill
 Uniformed sources in London be- lieved that preliminary arrangements already have been completed for a meeting of the three leaders with possibly only the date and place to be decided).
 Davies probably will leave Moscow soon to return to the United States. He arrived here fortnight ago and was received almost immediately by Stalin.
 Less than a week later the dis solution of the third Communist International was annou c c d. Though the action was regarded as a gesture toward closer relations with the United States, there was nothing concrete to connect the dis solution with Davies visit.
 Foreign Commissar Viacheslav M. Molotov was present at last nights s meeting between Stalin and Davies. Earlier in the day, Molotov enter tained Davies, American Ambassa dor Admiral William H.
