ATHLETES FOOT
hse.rsl N hs ~ 49,
IaNw, scetcts pAasoAl
URwHasnY o. wAsHhoToft

| summertime Is commonly DelleNeu
to be athletes foot time, but there
| actually is no particular time for
this nuisance disease. 1t is encour-
aged by perspiring feet, but feet
perspire in the wintertime as we'll
as in the summer, for in cold wea-
ther heavy stockings and socks are
used by many people.
Athletes foot is the result Of in
| lection of the skin of the feet by
| any one OF a number of vegetable
fungi which are parasitic and have
been commonly called ringworms
These fungi are tough and much
more difficult to kill than some OF
the germs responsible for other
| diseases.
The disease is by no means con-
| fined to athletes as anyone can get
it and 1t is quite widespread How
yer. many cases are contracted in
| gymnasiums and around swimming
pools.
Such places are heated and GYM
nasiums are usually located near
steamy locker and shower rooms.
People frequently walk around in
| these moist areas in their bare feet
| and those who have athletes foot
| carry their fungi into such places
They deposit fungi on the moist
| floors, towels. steps, rims of swim
ming pools and other places.
The infection most commonly be-
| gins as a rough spot on the skin
| between the toes. Small cracks APP
pear and the skin feels soft and
looks spongy. There may be little
| blisters which become painful when
| they burst. The most annoying
symptom is the irritating itching
that always develops. The condition
may spread to other areas of the
foot. As a result of scratching, it
may be transferred by the hands
to other areas of the body such as
the hands and armpits
There are a few simple precau-
tions by which it is possible to pre-
vent athletes foot They are listed
below
II Do not walk around bare
footed even in your own home.
Other members Of the family may
have the disease and the best
place to pick il up is in the bath
room. Use sandals. slippers or
clogs in the home and in gymna-
Sums and locker rooms.
p Dry your feet well, especially
between the toes.
- Use an aDtiseptic powder on
your feet to keep them dry and
healthy. A 1870 bOric acid addition
to ordinary talcum powder freely
applied to the feet and inside of
the shoe is exceedingly helpful.
d Socks and stockings should
be washed with soap and water
frequently. II is best if they are
boiled as IL takes considerable
heat to kill the fungi.
81 Do not wear the same pair
of shoes day after day. Change
your shoes on alternate days.
If, in spite of using these pre-
cautions, you should develop a case
of athletes foot it is best to consult
your physician. He will endeavor to
aid by advising and prescribing the
best remedy for your particular type
of fungus infection.

Farm Receipts Gain
Over August, ,;1949
BY the Assecioted Press

Virginia farmers. unlike farmers
of most of the States, received
more cash from crops and live
stock during August than in
August a year ago.
Only four other Southern
States-Maryland, North Car
olina, Georgia and Louisiana

The August boost brought cash
receipts for Virginia farmers for
the first eight months of the year
to $214,653.0 900. This is about
per cent under the eight month
figure last year of 1925, lac, 900.
Virginia's August receipts were
s30.321 900. compared with $780,
158, 900 in August. 1949.
The department said the gross
income of farmers is expected to
increase substantially in 1851.
A downward trend in farm n
come which began in 1948 was
reversed in mid-1950, the report
said. The income for. this year as
a whole is expected to be only
slightly below the 1949 level.
Virginia farmers received ST.
$4,000 for crops during the first
eight months of this year COM
pared with s80.927,O00 for the
corresponding period last year.

Property Tax Report
Expected by Lane
Late This Month
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. Gov
Lane said yesterday he expects
the final report of a special tax
survey commission later this
month and anticipates it will
recommend how to deal with any
inequities in the property assess
ment system.
He appointed the commission
in compliance with a resolution OF
the 1949 General Assembly. Since
July OF that year it has been
studying all phases of taxation
and property assessment.
The property assessment system
has been one of the issues in the
gubenatorial campaign. Enacted
by the General Assembly in 1943,
it divided each county and each
Baltimore legislative district into
five areas. One of these areas is
reassessed each year on a formula
set up in the law and administered
by the State Tax Commission.
Because Of the f1ve-year rota-
ton there have sometimes been
wide variations in the taxes on
similar pieces of property in diff
ferent areas of the same county
or election district. There have
been heated complaints.
Theodore R. McKeldin, Repub-
lican candidate for Governor has
charged Gov. Lane carefully fails
to mention the unbearable high,
unequal assessments resulting
from this system"
The Governor has countered
that the law was passed before
he came into Office.

'MckeIdin Says COP.
will Offer Own Bill
To Revise Sales Tax
BY the Assoeioied Press

BALTIMORE. Nov. 7.-Regard-
less of the outcome of today s
gubernatorial election, Maryland
Republicans may pull some sur
prises Friday at the special ses-
sion of the General Assembly.
This came from Theodore r.
McKeldin, COP opponent of Gov
Lane. He said his party's men,
berS of the Legislature will have
their own version of a bill to
modify the sales tax, the job the
session was called to do.
Mr.. McKeldin also declared the
Republicans will have a bill to
change the present system of prop
erty assessments for taxes, which
he called unfair, unequal and ex-
cessive."
Attitude May Hinge on Election.
Gov. Lane has called several
special sessions during his four
year term now drawing to a close.
In each case he has prescribed
exactly1what the Session was to
consider. In each case there has
always been welter of talk about
how the Legislature was going to
get out of hand and do a lot of
other things. too.
This has never happened. The
Lane administration has always
been able to keep special sessions
to the tasks it prescribed. Should
Gov. Lane beat Mr.. McKeldin to-
day there should be a little doubt
that the Governor could keep a
special session in line once again.
If Mr.. McKeldin should win it
might be a different matter.
Only One Task Ahead.
The Governor gave the Legis-
lature only one task in issuing his
call. He wants it to eliminate the
States 2 per cent sales tax on all
purchases under so cents. He also
wants it to exempt from the tax
a list of household necessities such
as soap. semimedicinal items such
as baby oil, and meals eaten in
restaurants.
Mr.. McKeldin said a Repub-
lican bill to modify the sales tax
would give the full relief I have
already announced" He went into
his definition Of full relief" dur
ing his final campaign broadcast
last night.
He said the session is a con-
tinuation of "a policy of somer-
saults and desperation deals in a
last-minute effort to attract
votes"
Two Minor Bills Prepared.
Attorney General Hall Ham
mond, teamed with Gov. Lane in
the campaign for reelection, said
he was preparing bills on two
minor matters in addition to the
sales tax.
One is proposal to transfer
Camp Ritchie, in the mountains at
the northeast corner of Wash
ington County, back to the Fed
eral Government. The Army re-
turned the camp to Maryland
after World War II, but recently
has devised new, and mostly secret,
plans for it. The idea is to set
up a super communications CEN
ter that would become the nerve
center of the country in case an
enemy bombed out Washington.
The other bill Mr.. Hammond is
working on would make some
technical changes in the laws reg
ulating mergers of banks.
