Doctor Long, 64 years old, quiet,
precise, unassuming, is "e typical
American professional man, whose
home town was Mt. Pleasant, Pa.
After his graduation from the med
ical school of the University of
Pennsylvania, he entered the nation
al public health service, became its
assistant surgeon, and, assigned to
the Philippines, won eminence in
his profession in his work in sani
tation and in fighting disease. In
1928, he was loaned to the Chilean
government for a similar encounter
there.
In this writer’s observation of
South American countries, par
ticularized instances of civilized
behavior, fair dealing and re
gard for native traditions and
amenities, once the fear of pred
atory designs had been over
come, were effective where all
else failed, including our most
eloquent offerings of official
friendship.

Q. The ancient Egyptians re

Doctor Breder was a boy icthyol-
ogist at Newark, where the family
was apt to find the bathtub full of
killies and sticklebacks. In his ex
amination for a biologist’s job in
&he fisheries bureau, he confounded
his elders and beat out Ph. D. en
trants in the competition. He was
assistant director of the Aquarium
for 14 years and became director
a year ago.
Doctor Breder is said to rank

yellow hair. But his appearance

A new turbine-electric locomotive, recently tested, will enable the Union Pacific to handle its heaviest
standard equipment over the entire run from Chicago to the West coast without changing engines. The 5,000
H. P. engine will run from 500 to 700 miles without stops. General Electric and railroad engineers worked two
years building the locomotive, which is the first of its kind built in the United States.

Jean Daladier, eldest son of the French premier, pins an arm-band on the newest recruit to his recently
Inaugurated organization called “Youths of the French Empire.” The movement, he insists, is not political,
but rather to use youthful energy in the nation’s service. Membership is increasing rapidly.

Pois^Begins
With Proper
Care of Feet
By PATRICIA LINDSAY
Y OU’VE seen them, perhaps you
are one of them. Women smart
ly dressed limping along with tor
tured expressions on their faces, or
surreptitiously slipping off their
shoes for a few moments of foot
ease! All their poise destroyed, all
facial beauty sacrificed for shoes
that are in fashion.
Ill fitting shoes are the chief of
fenders ( to foot health. It is ap
palling how few women have good
feet, and rare is she with beautiful
feet! Wrong lasts have deformed
them, and constant constriction in
leather since infancy has weakened
their muscle tone.
Look at the shoe you are wearing.
If it is run down badly at the heel,
if the lining is worn through, the
Slipping off your shoes for a few
moments oi loot ease destroys
poise and sacrifices facial beauty.
toe scuffed or the sides bulging it is
a safe bet that you are not fitted
correctly.
Your Shoe Tells
The Story
To begin with, a good shoe has a
straight inner line which keeps the
big toe straight and prevents a bun
ion from forming. It should be wide
enough to give your toes ample
room for gripping when you walk,
and the heel should allow good pos
ture as well as comfort. Learn
whether you should wear a long
vamp shoe or a short vamp shoe
Choose a model with strong arch
support and don’t let style or color
influence your purchase., Just any
shoe which is pretty, is the wrong
philosophy—in fact that is flirting
with ruined health.
For general wear, I advocate a
heel no higher than one and three-
quarters inches. The pretties, with
heels three inches or more, should
be kept for times when you are not
depending upon your feet to get you
there! Or for dancing.
Ignorance of foot care is another
offender to foot beauty. Regular
treatments by a registered pedia
trist. or a chiropodist, are strongly
commended if you have the means,
otherwise you must learn to exer
cise your feet at home, daily, and
give them a pedicure at least once a
week Walk around bare footed or
sandal shod, as frequently as possi
ble, and whenever you can (without
drawing attention) sit with your feet
resting higher than your body. Up
on a table or the back of a chair.

HINT-OF-THE-DAY
Importance of Sleep
There’s much wisdom in the ad
vice of Kitty Carlisle, lovely sing
ing star of the stage and screen:
“Enough sleep and not too much
alcohol—and you can keep your face
looking 18 right up to the day you
are 35 ’’
By way of taking her own medi
cine, Miss Carlisle averages nine
hours sleep a night. She is equally
religious in her exercise and has de
veloped her own method for specific
exercises.
“When I do an exercise that
makes me sore, then I know I’ve
hit the right muscles for that spot,”
she explains.
One of Miss Carlisle’s favorite ex
ercises is designed to benefit the
arms and shoulders. You place one
clenched fist in the palm of the
other hand and then hold the hands
at chest level, elbows out at either
side. Push against resistance and
force the hands first to one side,
then to the other.
As for keeping the waistline slim
and the tummy flat, here’s the ex
ercise recommended by this star:
Lie on the back on the floor with
hands braced at either side, and
flop both feet back over the head
Keep the knees straight, legs to
gether, and slowly lower the feet
back over the head until the toes
are on the floor. The trick is to
lower the legs very slowly, and if
you can do that you are not so rusty
on exercise after all. Return to the
original position and repeat the ex
ercise three times.
Largest and Smallest Counties

Speedy Creatures
Speed champions among ani
mals and insects are a much-de- .
bated topic among scientists. One,
for example, claims a deer fly
zips 800 miles per hour; another
says it’s impossible because at
that speed the insect would be in
visible. The cheetah, fastest thing
on four legs, can hit 70 miles per
hour. The homing pigeon record
is close to 80 miles an hour. Fast
est animal on two legs is the os
trich.—^Washington Post.

Were you ever alone
in a strange city?
• If you were you know the
true value of this newspaper
Alone in a strange city. It is pretty dull.
Even the newspapers don’t seem to
print many of the things that interest
you. Headline stories are all right,
but there is something lacking. That
something is local news.
For—all good newspapers are edited
especially for their local readers. News
of your friends and neighbors is needed
along with that of far off places. That
is why a newspaper in a strange city
is so uninteresting. And that is why
this newspaper is so important to you.
