Rockville Meets
COlesviHe On
Basketball Court

Saturday night the Rockville
Stars and Starlets play another big
double-headar for the enjoyment of
the local fans. Colesville, a leading
contender in the Silver Spring
league of the Park and Planning
Commission, offers the finest OPP
position to be seen in Rockville this
year. With many outstanding anna
teur players on their roster, this
game should be the game of the
year. The Stars have won four of
the five games played so far, and
are pointing to this one in hopes of
making it win number five.
The Starlets meet equally tough
opposition when they team up
against the championship Garvin
Grills sextet in the preliminary.
Both games should be thrillers
tight down to the final whistle.
Both Rockville teams continued
their winning ways over the past
weekend when the Stars defeated
the lgnOr entry in the Silver
Spring league 1926 with Maynard
Haithcock dumping in twelve
points and all the other Stars aid
ing him. The Starlets defeated the
Frederick girls on the latters' court
Sunday afternoon by a score of
1882 with fanny LaTona getting
81 points to lead both teams in the
scoring department.
AS both teams journey to Mar
tinshurg, w. Va. on Sunday, this
is a golden chance for some of you
fans to get out and see the best
in amateur ball. Rockville has two
fine teams this year, and your sup
port is strongly needed so that
basketball can continue in our
town.

the same drugs.
The fungus is tough and
adaptable. If it is exposed to dry
ness and cold, it does not die, but
quickly changes into a tiny spore,
which can be easily carried by air
into the climate it likes best in
somebody's shoes. Their the in
active spore again comes to life
and sets to work.
Someone once said that if man
had not taken to wearing shoes
he never would bear the curse of
athletes foot. The fungus of ath-
lete'S foot thriveS in the warm
damp atmosphere produced by
close fitting shoes. The feet of
athletes, and other people who are
very active, perSpire great deal,
and perSiration helps maintain
ideal surroundings for fungi.
People carelessly 60 around in
their bare feet. Anyone with the
fungus on his feet becomes a
threat to everyone else, because
every place he steps fungi are
deposited on the floor. The next
barefooted person is likely to pick
up some of the fungi, and, If con-
ditions are favorable, he soon
finds the telltale signs between
his toes or elsewhere on his feet.

CARE AND
TREATMENT OF
FEET
ATHLETES FOoT-Its Control
and DRANanfinn
BY DR.. G. n. GREENE
Doctor of Surgical Chlropody.

ATHLETES FooT-Its Control
and Prevention
Every year, thousands of
people hobble into the offices of
skin specialists and present the
red, raw, cracked skin, and bis
tiers on their feet to the doctors
experienced eye. Many of these
visits are necessary because the
patients contract athletes foot
and, in trying to treat it at home
use patent remedies containing
chemical ingredients to which
they are sensitive. The supposed
remedy, applied to the already
diseased and broken skin, not
only makes the original eruption
much worse, but creates a new
more difficult condition for the
doctor to treat.
What Is Athletes Foot?
The term athletes foot" is
applied carelessly to a number of
different diseases. They look very
much alike, of course, but - and
this is the essential facts when 1t
becomes to treatment - they are
caused by different organisms.
The organisms are all vegetable
lungi, parasitic growths some
times called ringworm, but they
have individual pecularities and,
consequently, are not affected by
The Miami times. [volume] (Miami, Fla.) 1923-current, 1951-08-04


tablished Monday morning in
Judge L. E. Thomas Municipal
Court, when a mere total of IS
cases was listed for trial on the
days docket. This was the small
est number of cases ever brought
before the judge for trial on a
Monday morning since the court
was established.
While small in number COM
pared to other Mondays, the cases
were not lacking in sensational
ism and general interest. A va
riety of charges was included in
the number.
Highlight of the days hearings
was the case of Solomon Fergu-
son charged with assault with a
knife on his wife, Irma. Fergu-
son was represented by Atty.
Robt. I. Honechell. Testimony in
the case revealed the fact that
the FerguSonS, who have one
child, have not been getting along
well for some time. Mrs. Fergu-
son charged that after one of sew
eral alterations, her husband ap-
preached her early on the fol-
lowing morning at Cafe Society,
where she was visiting with some
other friends, and ordered her to
accompany him home. She ex-
planned to the court that he fore
ed her to walk one Of the back
streets instead of the popular
Third Avenue, and that he con-
tinued to threaten her with a
large knife. She added the fact
that after a minor tuSsle, he cut
her with the knife shortly before
they reached home. She said she
ran to her brothers home in an
effort to escape further injury and
seek aid.
Ferguson denied doing any
harm to his wife, in fact he de-
MED being the aggresor in any Of
the difficulties which they had.
His attorney questioned Mrs. Fer
guSon at length and tried vainly
to establish FerguSon's innocence
by dwelling on a number of tech
nicalitieS.
After hearing all sides of the
drawnout case, Judge Thomas
found Ferguson guilty, and fined
him S35 or 18 days in jail.
Another case which also cap
tured the attention of the capacity
filled court room, was that of
Ronald Johnson, who was charg-
ed with disorderly conduct, Gre
ating a disturbance. Johnson's
wife, Winnefred, his mother-in-
law and her husband, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Smith of 1749 NV
9th ave., were the complainants
against the defendent. Testimony
revealed that the JohnsonS, who
have two children, had had an
other of long series of alterca-
tions. Mrs. Johnson, as in past in
stances took the children and
went back home to her mother,
while Johnson was on one of his
"prankS". She told the court that
Johnson came to her mothers
home at am. Sunday demanding
the right to see his children. She
explained that he not only dis
turbed the entire household, but
also the rest of the neighborhood,
by banging on her room window
to the extent that he broke the
glass.
Mrs. George Smith, mother of
Mrs. Johnson, also explained to
the court how Johnson had awak-
The Miami times. [volume] (Miami, Fla.) 1923-current, 1951-08-04

ened the entire family and Great
ed a great disturbance Sunday
morning. Mr.. Smith agreed with
his wife'S explanation.
Johnson countered with the
charge that he only went to the
house to see his children, which
he felt was his right under the
law. He explained to the court
that he had not seen his children
in almost two weeks and that he
fine, if it were not for the inter-
and his wife would get along
ference of his mother-in-law,
Mrs. Smith. He charged that his
mother-in-law does not like him
and is the cause of all of the
trouble between him and his wife.
Johnson also told the court that
it was not he, but Mr.. Smith,
who broke the window glass dur
ing the incident.
The case was so involved that
Judge Thomas could not render
an immediate verdict. He order
ed the defendent and all of the
witnesses to wait in the court for
while until he had chance to
think the whole matter over be-
fore he rendered a verdict. After
almost an hour of waiting, the
judge had the entire group called
back before him and after warn
ingS to both Johnson and his wife,
fined Johnson SIS or 6 days.
Among other cases heard and
disposed of were the following:
Ben Simmons, Dorothy Glover,
and Dorine Thompson were each
charged with diSorderly conduct.
Simmons was sentenced to 10
days, SIS or an additional 10 days.

GETTING EVEN

Next door to the quiet Smiths in
a Los Angeles apartment building
live the Joneses, who are addicted
to boisterous Saturday-night par
ties. The Smiths suffered in silence
until recently, when an air duct in
the wall common to the living
rooms of both apartments gave
Smith an idea for suitable reprisal.
On Saturday he removed the
grille where the duct entered his
living room and, reaching in, placed
the microphone of his home record
ing machine at the point where a
patch of light marked the grills in
the Joneses' living room. That night
he recorded an hour of the hilarity
next door at it's peak. The follow
ing night, when he could tell that
the Joneses were retiring early, he
placed the loudspeaker of his ma
chine against the wall between his

= FANCY THAT

One evening when my hus-
band and l were playing minia-
ture golf, we got behind a young
couple with a small baby. They
kept handling the baby back and
forth after each shot, and it
made a slow game. Quite a lit
tie group collected behind them,
but no one seemed to mind wait
ing. No one except one impa-
tient young thing who finally
turned to her partner and said,
sarcastically, "1t's really
shame some people can't hire
a baby sitter"
At that the young man swung
around, bowed from the waist
and retorted, Lady, we are the
baby sitters."
