Notwithstanding which, he has anactive attack of the ringworm in- fection generally called “Athlete's Foot"!* Nor does he know what it is. He's aware, of course, of a con- stantly present and unnatural moisture between his little toes— unpleasantly and uneasily aware of it... increasingly so, as the days go by— Yet he’s as ignorant of its cause as are the millions of other Ameri- cans who suffer from the “Athlete's Foot” infection. *Many Symptoms for the Same Disease—So Easily Tracked into the Home “Athlete’s Foot’ may start in a number of different ways,* but it is now generally agreed that the germ, tinea trichophyton, is back of them all. It lurks where you would least expect it—in the very places where people go for health and recre- ation and cleanliness. In spite of modern sanitation, the germ abounds on locker- and dressing-room floors—on the edges of swim- ming pools and showers—in gymnasiums— around bathing beaches and bath-houses— even on hotel bath-mats, And from all these places it has been tracked into countless homes until today this ringworm infection is simply ererywhere. The United States Public Health Service finds"‘Is is probable that at least one-half of all adults suffer from it at some time.’ And authorities say that half the boys in high school are WATCH FOR THESE DISTRESS SIGNALS THAT WARN OF “ATHLETE'S FOOT” ‘Though “Athlete's Foot” is caused by the germ— tinea trichephyton— ts eatly stages manifest themselves in several different ways, usually between the toes— sometimes by redness, sometimes by skin-cracks, often by tiny itching blisters.

The first example of such tre son to Comus (ah, there! Shane) is a serious, brooding but well-written novel called “Parade Ground.” It is probably the work turned out by a Jepar contrib in our time at least. ot that it hasn't a r weakness, to wit, it seems a most ambitious a teapot, mulling over- much on the tri an almost pathologically sensitive girl. For the duration of the book this. unhappy creature works herself into a fine, imless frenzy over her boy friends, her love troubles and the horrors of an impoverished army marriage. Somehow, we felt, no matter to what magnificent heights of hysteria she , that she'd get over her troubles. Somehow it all : rosi seemed overe: gerated tragedy and spilling of tears For it has always appeared to this old gray matter that eating-out-of-the- heart and tearing-of-the-hair over love disappears in time. A sear is left, but we've got a whole drawer full of them, and mighty proud of them, too, sir! (Ah! memories, memories!) Another fault is Mme. Deitrick loves her grim detail overmuch, doting on mangy cats and sordid ash cans. Her men spend too much time lying at the feet of her heroine, moaning about their love for her and not doing enough about it. Some of the love talk is callow, too. Also the word “futile” should never have been left lying around the pages so much. It gives the blues. But for what it is it is a good book promising first novel of a pathetic marriage contract with dampening fireworks.
