It is also, at ‘dee aan unduly oppressed, a most uncomfortable and excruciatingly painful thing. It is caused most- ly by ill-feeling or unsuitable shoes. Too long, too short, too wide, too narrow or possessing other faults that may cause friction or pressure upon one par- ticular part of the foot or one particular toe. In giving you the cause of the origin of a corn, be under no misapprehension that you are about to read a scientific lecture on chiropody or that you have stumbled upon a smooth piece of footwear propaganda. The professors who are devoted to these branches of largely devoted to handshaking—Methodists and poli- ticians, and neither the sacred nor profane history of | the republic discloses any bad results to either from | the custom. The Methodist handshake which consists) in « firm hand clasp ana one long slow stroke like op-/ erating a pump handle, can do the Methodist no harm but ft could easily dislocate the shakee’s shoulder. The politician’s style, practiced only at election time, is strenuous enough in all conscience, but there are long periods of rest for recovery. | Most people would be glad to be delivered from the| handshaker with the cast iron grip, who crushes your| | hand almost to pulp in order to show his strength; and | his equally objectionable friend who slides into your palm a cold clammy hand that feels like a chunk} of hog liv: Nobody much cares for either. But the old friend who gives you a good warm friendly clasp and his eye tells you that he is glad to} see you is worth while, and he is the boy who will/ perpetuate the custom despite Dr. Saltcellar and his | croakings. From such as he you are delighted to} come in contact even with the callouses on his palm. The society handshake, of course; is not to be men- tioned in a scientific treatise like this. It is purely perfunctory and is no handshake at all. The matter of holding hands is a different branch of the subject altogether, and on uccount of its sa- credness is immune from comment. There need be no alarm among the great army of handshakers. The custom is not going out and there is no danger in its practice. Everybody but Doc Salt- cellar will tell you that all the world’s famous hand- shakers have been long-lived, just the same as have been the world’s famous whiskey drinkers and tobac- co chewers o—____—_— ONE YEAR'S LOSSES. | “Involuntary idleness by workmen in this country between July, 1920, and August, 1921,” reports the Chicago Journal of Commerc: ‘cost them the pro- digious sum of $6,500,000,000 in wages lost to them forever—enough to build three million homes worth more than $2,000 each for the families of laboring men. “This loss of wages was not the result of strikes. It was causéd by the shutting down of great mills and industrial plants, the paralysis of building trades, the excessive demands for high wages everywhere, and the refusal of the public to buy manufactured prod- ucts at ruling high costs. “The losses estimated were not figured at peak wages, but on normal pay levels by experts of the un- employment conference. “In the face of such losses to labor because of in- tolerable conditions which have frozen industrial en- terprise and restricted manufactures and freight movements to absolute necessities, men who have jabs which promise a living during the winter months would be doing an inconceivably foolish and tragic thing to press further burdens on business.” EE a ea THE BASIS OF PEACE. human endeavor and relief of human suffering are not only willing but qualified to toot their respective horns. , Our object is simply to call attention to one of the small things of life that makes itself felt exerts an influence out of all proportion to its size, destroys mere peace and happiness in brief time than can be carefully built up by painstaking care in a whole day. ‘There is even tragedy in a corn. Assault and bat- tery, manslaughter, first degree murder. No one knows the possibilities ensuing from a corn. ‘An incident in-illustration is this: A crowded ele- vated train came speeding into the station with its air whistle screeching frantically. When the train stopped everybody piled out. Nobody knew the cause of the commotion. In response to the whistle a platoon of police was on the platform to quell the riot, whatever it was. In the course of time these facts, contained in the police report, were deduced: ; In the crowded car a well dressed man, having “gentleman” written all over him had unintentional- ly trod upon the toe of a lady, said toe having thereon a small but extremely belligerent corn, actively in re- bellion against a snugly fitting boot which circum- scribed the inalienable rights of all corns to life, lib- erty and the pursuit of happiness. The firm contact of the masculine shod foot of the gentleman with the tender aching toe of the lady whereon was located the corn in question, more fully described in the preceding ph, was the occasion of a scream of blood- curdling quality and hair-raising dimensions. This, emanating from the fair possessor of the corn, Chiv- alrous straphangers and gallant holders of seats that should have been occupied by others, believing that some indignity had been offered to the owner of the corn arose in their wrath and started a fight. Theirs not to question why? Theirs but to do and die. The commotion spread to other cars in the train. Con- ductors and motormen were ignorantyof any cause for the riot in progress. They only Knew it was in progress. With the rescue of the gentleman who had inno- cently inflamed the populace and the corn, much dis- arrayed, bruised and maltreated, the lady came for- ward and told the simple story of the corn upon her toe. z Traffic was resumed, the status quo restored and the affairs of the world returned to normalcy. And so it goes. No one knows what may grow out of the small things of life. What momentous inci- dents hang up trivialities. The treading upon a corn in the actuality while it may be painful, is yet a lit- tle thing, unimportant and of no concern to the world. Figuratively, the treading upon a corn caused a world war and the sacrifice of millions of lives and billions of property. Had Austria been more careful of her step»at the crowded Serbian reception, or Germany more solicitous concerning where she placed her feet in the environs of Belgium, the world were the hap- pier today. The moral is plain. Have a care for the little things and watch your step. a THE HAND SHAKER. The time honored custom of handshaking, which is a well-established American custom, has been found te be all wrong, after all the years Dr, Francisco Saucelli, New York health expert, says so. Accepting Dr, Saltcellar’s dictum let us look into the matter and see where we are at and what we can do about it. The Jearned doctor points out-that Former Presi- dent Wilson is suffering from the effects of too much handshaking under nerve tension. That the pernicious custom undoubtedly was a contributing factor in the death of Theodore Roosevelt and is sure it was mate- rially responsible for the death of Enrico Caruso. Elaborating further, the doctor asserts that it will not be many years before Americans turn to em- bracing or some other less harmful form of greeting. This all comes just as Mr. Harding has announced resumption of the old time handshaking carnivals at the White House. He is a brave man but however mich he loves to greet his fellow countrymen, it were better that he confine his activities to having his pic- ture taken than to take any chances with the hand- shakers’ paralysis. As a substitute for handshaking of course there is the near eastern form of rubbing noses and the French form of osculation.upon each cheek and as the doctor suggests the embrace. Other styles there are in plenty but any one of them would be a case of casting off an old habit and forming a new one, Under certain conditions the French custom or even the doctor’s suggestion might go well enough; but it Marshal Foch, aside from being a great soldier pos- sesses the Frenchman’s felicity of expression. We would scarcely expect to find the warrior and the philosopher in the same person, yet the Chicago ad- dress of our distinguished visitor confirms him such unexpected combination. Two of his epigrammatic statements proclaims him: “Peace—we shall have it soon on the same condi- tion that we got war. We must fight for it in the moral sphere as we did in the physical sphere. Peace has been promised fron the first night of Christianity only to men of good will. 2g “Good will must be in the bottom of the heart; with-' out it, it is only a sham peace.” Tt may all be familiar, but how often forgotten, thie message to the world at the birth of Christ? The marshal has recalled to us the basis of all peace. SR eat es en SE, WISDOM FROM TEXAS. Texas has an organization devoted to the purpose of reducing the membership of its state legislature. This idea should be encouraged in the hope that it would become epidemic throughout the great sister- hood of states. Nobody would care much just how the reduction was brought about. That would be a mere detail. Texas may have some fresh plan worked out, but other states will find either the machine gun or rat poison very effective. Then after the membership has been reduced all around there ought to be a legislative holiday for ten years, and sessions of ten days once every decade thereafter. aR ee NOT IN OUR CLASS. Sheridan is all fussed up with pride because Den- ver publishers of a Wyoming state directory recog- ttize Sheridan as the largest city in the state. The debate is between Sheridan and Cheyenne who are down in the twelve to fifteen thousand class. Cas- per is not concerned in “estimates” by out of state publishers. She shows 20,000 actual population count, a@ $26,000,000 tax roll, 3,800 enrolled school children and more automobiles and perambulators than Sher- idan and Cheyenne combined.
