1T was someone with n wry sense
OF humor who once remarked that
~everybody's toes come as a shock
10 everybody else" Yet it is true,
as a casual Investigation at any
swimming pool viii prove. One
Grows accustomed in time, to the
peculiarities of his or her own feet.
But only blind man, or one eX-
ceedingly insensitive to beauty can
fail to shudder at q mass exposure

extremities.
Yet each summer feet come out
into the open like ittle skeletons
from family closets. A smart girl
puts bright face on the matter,
by making the skeletons acceptable
to the best society. Mistreated all
winter with silly shoes, heels too
high, toes too narrow for comfort,
she lets summers fashion challenge
rebound as a boon TO this most neg
Bected part of the human anatomy.
For in the summer, woman dresses
primarily for out-ofdoors, and
sports clothes demand low heels
and that jaunty, swinging walk that
shows her to be young, regardless
of her actual age.
II there Is something chronically
wrong with your feet, see an orthO-
pedic specialist. Have him pre-
Rcribe proper shoes for you. Be-
ware of the shoes that must be
broken in," because ones temper
snd nerves are usually "broken in"
n the process. Change shoes often,
&nd air them after wearing. 1t Is
strange how people who are fasti-
6Hous about clean linens, are
thoughtless about shoes which soil

health and beauty's sake. Have
shoes repaired as soon as they need

ON get the same thrill of satisfac-
ffon from a pair of carefully nur-
tured feet for a minimum of time
and trouble Here is how:
At night when you have finished

massage your feet thoroughly with
ordinary cold cream. From the
ankle down, work your toes to
stimulate the blood circulation, and
lmead the instep and balls of the
feet with vigor and determination.
With decent treatment and regular
care, there is no reason why your
feet, in time, cannot have that we'll
groomed appearance of a lovely
woman's decorative hands.
Neither is there any reason why
the toenails, usually so neglected,
cannot be as ornamental as the
fingernails of a cultured woman.
Allowing them to become discolored
and misshapen because they are not
always on public view, is as sloven-
ly as a housewives sweeping under
| the rug. Push back the cuticle
yourself, with cuticle oil which is
obtainable at any toilet counter.
File the nails straight across, cut
off the calloused places, and apply
polish. This should be the same
shade as the polish you use on your
| fingernailS, or the clear, colorleSs
enamel that acts as protection.
Change the polish often. Clipped
and broken enamel is pretentious
bad taste.
In hot weather with its perspira-
ton and insect pests, feet should
be regularly treated to disinfectants
and deodorants applied in required
solutions. Wipe the feet well after
their massage, and use stearate of
zinc powder to dry them completely.
AS often as possible, allcw access
of free air. And if you can so back
to nature as barefoot girl for part
of the day, walking on clean grass,
your feet will take on that strong,
straight look that is one of life's
compensations to the peasant in
primitive countries where shoes are
looked upon as inventions of the
devil.

BULGARIA WOULD QUIT
WITH WAR LOOT
Clos Angeles Times)

CLOS Angeles Times)
The apparently fairly we'll authenti-
Gated report that Bulgaria has taken OF
ficial steps to get out of the war, max
ing an offer to settle on the basis OF the
Atlantic Charter if the Bulgars are al
lowed to keep the territory seized from
Yugoslavia and Greece, is more interest
ing than Immediately important. The
offer was rejected, the report says, which
is entirely credible at least. II that is
the best the BulgarS are willing to pro-
pose now, we can get better terms later.
How Bulgaria could possibly get out
of the war and escape devastation, since
she is fully occupied by Nazi troops,
remains beyond imagination. Italy was
unable to pull the trick though in a
much more favorable situation.
The Nazis are evidently making stren-
uous efforts to knock the Yugoslavs out
of the war and pacify the Balkans gener
ally. Whether they have actually put as
many men into Bosnia as Tito (now
known as Marshal Broz) says they have
may be question the reports from that
region are subject to a good deal of
discount But the Yugoslav Partisans
are obviously making trouble, and equal
ly obviously Gen. Mikhailovitch is rela-
lively quiet Conceivably he could be
waiting better opportunity to strike.
Marshal Broz seems to be trying to force
the Allies to come to his rescue, without
regard to their other plans. If Mikhai
lovitch is outstanding his strength until
the Allies are ready to invade the Balk-
ans, he may prove to be the better mill
tary cO-operator.
Meanwhile there are few reports of
Rumanian iitters and new reports that
Finland is again seeking peace. These
signs of nervousness are not necessarily
indications of early collapse They could
be concocted by the Nazis to take the
Allies off their guard.

HITLER HOME FRONT

The Allied Nations have an especially
powerful weapon which some day will
be turned loose against the forces of
Hitler. When this weapon will start oper
ating at full force, no one knows, but it
must be presumed that our strategists-
wise men, indeed-are calculating the
time, manner and method.
That weapon is the possibility of full
fledged revolt among the people of Ger
many and the subjugated countries. Com
monty called "home-front collapse" the
potentialities of this great force for
Allied victory can hardly be estimated.
It's dynamic force can be expected to be
in direct ratio to the extent that those
same people have been forced into serf-
dom, and compelled to produce the war
material which is used not only against
the Allied nations, but also used to main
tain the very serfdom of the prisoner
peoples. -
Some day that vast, pent up flood of
revenge and Hitler-hatred will break
lose. And upon that day will Mr.. Hitler
and his cohorts realize that they them
selves will have manufactured the great
est Allied weapon.

Drink" he said, "is the curse OF
many homes. I was wet in con-

cause it created conditions worse

of the distillers, the breweries ana

ARE AMERICANS
"CHISELERS?"

An almost daily warning" or word of
caution and even threats of dire punish
ment emanating from the OPA and other
regulatory agencies at Washington Is
becoming boresome to the great Amerl-
can public and creating no end of proper
resentment.
Considering the tone Of these various
pronouncements it might appear that
the American people are natural-born
crooks or chiselers."
This is not true. The public is doing
a splendid job meeting all the require
ments necessary to keep the war going
and to insure victory. Nor do the peo-
pie look on these regulations as sacri-
fices. If there be violation now and
then it is either by the few who wilfully
ignore the rules, or, and perhaps this
category is the larger, by honest folks
who get so miserably tangled up in the
multitude of involved regulations as to
be innocent crooks"
All this hullabaloo from Washington
from the bureaus hearkens back to the
days of the NRA and Leon Henderson
u and General Johnson and their big sticks
and loud voices as the great reform
move went into high gear.
Tell the people in simple, direct lam
guage what they are to do and that is
enough. Keep the necessary machinery
for administration of the wartime rules
clear of politics, man it with experienced,
honest and intelligent men and women
and the trick is turned and all will be
