Proper Shoes Iiollt Slllllslor Foot Aches

NIIW YORK. ay 1'! - Indian fakirs make a sgecialty of walking

on red. hot coals. This routine is

matched on any summer day by thousands of people who insist on transacting their daily affairs wearing shou that stifle their feet.

A humorist once observed that there is one virtue about having feet: they make a man forget his other troubles! so if it takes your mind of that over-due payment on the car or the butcher's bui when your feet burn like a. pair of demons; carry onl on the Other hand, it your neighbors are begin- ning to give you a wide berth. and your disposition sizzles like the thermometer, you may Want "3 Kel- out of this rut.

Listening to the advice given by the foot experts will show you how to get relief. They rlxzommend the wearing of roomy shoes equip- ped with leather soles and supple uppers as a basic step in foot hy- giene. Following this suggestion. may well be your clue to slimmer foot ease as well as a happier dis- position!

Podiatrists have long known of the cooling action induced by the fibrous structure of leather 50195- and that's why they recommend all-leather shoes to their patients. They also point out that shoes are the only article of wearing apparel that can really cause body injury. That's why the experts have noth- ing but harsh words for the wear- ing of shoes that are too tight or are made of stiff and impermeable materials.

so, if you feel shunned by friends and family don't go run- ning lo Dale Carnegie. A little care in the shoe fitting depart- ment, and wearing the right kind of shoes for all occasions, might do the trick.

That Body Of Your: By James W. Iarlsl. 91-D- . use-r am in-.r-sNro srsrss

Most ofusthinkthahlr con- fronted by an armed burglar, we would be quite ready to give in? In! money or vslusblu rattler than rim -being killed. However. none of us really knows how we would be- have in what could be caued an acute panic state.

In The American Journal of Psychotherapy. Dr. J. A. M. Meerio reporm his experiences during the war in the Netherlands and in Britain. He states that even in per- sons well prepared for disaster. ex- treme danger tends to provoke all kinds of mental defense reactions. Catastrophies like earthquakes. railwny accidents or direct bomb hits may bring on a condition much like returning to our child- hood.

"Two types of panic behavior are generally observed.'” Dr. Meerlo writes. "The first is a. state of men- tal paralysis ln which the patient is apathetic. stunned. so that he shows no feeling whatever, can- not taik and cannot move, and ap- are to be dead except for the fright that shows in his eyes. He does not consciously listen though his body contracts with every noise. This stunned condition of mind and body may communicate fear to others".

The second type of panic reac- tion takes the form of temper tantrums. like those of an angry child. "A soldier with this form of panic may attack his fellow sold- iers or shoot at his own troops. A woman may begin to cry, shout, or walk aimlessly about. wringing her hands." Most variations of such fear reactions are painful tightening of muscles and nerves and frequent urination.

Explaining these reactions to the patient and why they occur in him has a quieting effect on him. Talking harshly to this type of

And then with a gay burst of flame and a waver- ing but increasing volume of smoke we had our bonfirel

The light lit up the faces of the children as from a safe distance they watched it glow and burn brightly. "Did you think smoke was always the same color?" she asked softly, entranced by the sight of it. "It has a lot of shades-grays and violet and . . . " "Did you ever see

For Tomorrow

While there are signs of ob- stacles. delays and stubborn situ- ations. there are also promises of splendid opportunities for growth and development of operations of more than passing promise. The creative skills and talents are keyed to high purpose. and with the assurance of support and tan- gible aid from those in high places, there is much to encour- age and inspire. But do not jump at conclusions or. attempt strange or spectacular maneuvers. Bift out the good from the bad, dis- card non - essentials, then work towards ambitious goals. Good

DEAR MH;g'DIX: I have a problem that is bothering many young men and women today, that is, whether to marry a boy before he goes into the service, or wait until he is discharged. I am 21 years old, my fiance is 23. We have known each other five years. therefore are well acquainted with each oiher's likes and dlsllkel. famlly backgrounds and personalities. We both feel we would like to get married in June before he is drafted. but 'a number of people have advised us to wait, giving various reasons for their opinions. We would like to know how you feel about it. Please tell us. C. I. B. ANSWER: This can be such a complicated question. depending upon individual cases, that only a bare. general outline of its solution can be given here.

BEST TO WAIT In general. I would advise waiting. If an en-

gsgement stretched throughout the boy's entire periodic! service seems too long. you can always

Muriel Nlsaen have the wedding on a furlough. However. to marry before he goel into service is not a wise move. The young man will have ll tro-

mendous adjustment to make from home life to army life: the com- plication of marriage just adds to his emotional tension. rrlnge it- self is such an important step that it should be taken as the para- mount experlence of your life. Under the circumstances outlined, this is impossible. When a boy enters the Army for any other branch of service). that is. per se. such a consuming experience that the marriage is. of necessity. relegated to the background. Army routine has no place for family life. and any bride is bound to feel cheated when her big moment becomes just an incident in a Gl's schedule. if she marries before her groom is drafted. there is the added un- certainty of not knowing where he'll be stationed-a question that is usually settled after a year. To become a service wife you must be very confident of your own emotions as well as those of your fiance. Are you socially well adjusted. so that you can travel with him and make friends wherever you happen to he? Are you prepared to take the loneliness of sep- aration should he be sent where you cannot accompany him? is your financial situation sufficiently established so that you can take care of yourself and a baby. should you be blessed with one?

Add these serious considerations-to the pcrblcms that occur Willi
