(UP) Women take off their shoes at the movieg and men kick off their shoes for slippers upon coming home because "our pedal extremeties are taking a beating," Dr. Lemuel C. McGee, of Wilmington, Del., said today in an article published in the Journal of Teh American Medical Association. Because feet do not actually "kill" one, their discomforts have not re ceived the careful consideration ac corded pains in other parts of our anatomy, he said. "Man's two feet do the work of animals' four feet and some special consideration would seem to be due them," McGee said, listing the fol lowing six rules for preserving healthy feet: 1. Wash the feet daily with soap and lukewarm water. Dry them thoroughly. 2. Soften brittle nails and callo uses with lanolin or some other ointment. 3. Clean nails with orangewood sticks. Cut nails after bath straight across and not too short. 4. Separate overlapping toes and toes that press closely together with Iamb's wool or a similar soft mater ial. 5. Wear shoes of soft leather that fit properly. It is poor economy to wear ill-fitting shoes when only a little more time and attention in se lection will procure well-fitting shoes. 6. Avoid strong, irritating anti septics such as coal tar products. The council on foods and nutrition in the same issue of the AMA journal reported that margarine "fortified with vitamin A" is just as good nurtitionally as butter.

Donelan (Edith White), Reds And Finns Sign Armistice Ending Their War Negotiations On Since September 14 Finns Wage War Against the Nazis London, Sept. 19. (UP) Russia and Finland signed an armistice to day ending their second war since 1939 while the Finns were waging undeclared war against their former nazi allies. The Moscow radio said the Soviet Finnish armistice was agreed upon after negotiations in Moscow since Sept. 14th. British representatives sat in on the conference and togeth er with those of Russia acted on behalf of the United Nations, the broadcast said. The terms of the armistice will be announced later. It was signed by Col. Gen. Zhadanov for the United Nations and by members of the Finn ish armistice delegation to Moscow, the broadcast reported. On the part of the soviet govern ment, those taking part were For eign Commissar V. M. Molotov, Mar shal Klementi E. Voroshilov, Col. Gen. Zhadanov and Deputy Foreign Commissar Dekanosso and Litvinov, the Moscow announcement said. On the part of the British, there were Ambassador Sir Archibald Clark Kerr and Mr. J. Balfour. On the Finnish delegation were Mr. Ecknel and Generals Walden, Hen rich and Enckel. Washington, Sept. 19. (UP) President Roosevelt today ordered the budget bureau to begin planning demobilization of the government's vast wartime machinery through liquidation of emergency bureaus and agencies and reduction of the federal payroll to a "peace footing." "This is the timt to do the plan ning, although the war even in Europe is not over," Mr. Roosevelt said in a letter to Budget Director Harold D. Smith. "Most of the plan ning will probably have to wait for execution until the Japs nave sur rendered and there is no way of telling when that will happen. But the plans should be ready." In planning adjustment of the gov ernment's executive branch from "the needs of war to the needs of peace," Mr. Roosevelt said, three prin cipal problems must be considered: 1." "Liquidation of war agencies and the reassignment of such per manent or continuing functions as they possess." There are now 23 emergency war agencies. Some of the major ones, such as the Office of Price Administration and War Pro duction Board, are expected to con tinue operation for Bome time after hostilities cease. 1. "Reduction of government per sonnel to a peace footing." The fed eral payroll last July listed 2,938, 602 civil service employes in this country, as compared to about 1,000,000 in May of 1940 when the expansion began uuder impetus of the defense program. 3. "The simplification and adap tation of the administrative struc ture to peacetime requirements." This presumably will include re alignment of the duties of regular agencies which were assigned spec ial wartime duties by congressional or executive order. "Some 6teps along these lines may! be taken when the fighting ends in Europe," Mr. Roosevelt said, and urged that "immediate attention" be focused on this phase of the govern ment demobilization program. In apparent reference to criticism of the administration based on the great increase in the federal payroll, Mr. Roosevelt acknowledged that "total war has required a great ex pansion of government activities, agencies and personnel.' ' But, he added, "our success on the battle fronts all over the world bears witness to the effectiveness of our efforts." "Upon termination of hostilities, we must proceed with equal vigor to liquidate war agencies and recon vert the government to peace," Mr. Roosevelt said. "The transition. . . should be carried forward rapidly, but with a minimum of disorder aDd disruption. Only careful planning can achieve this goal." With U. S. Third Army in France, Sept. 20. (UP) Two armored spear heads of American and French in infantry forces, pushing northeast from the lower Moselle, battled thru strong nazi panzer and grenadier units today in the drive toward Ger many's industrial Saar valley. Many of the enemy troops were veterans of the African and Italian campaigns and put up some of the heaviest opposition yet encountered in this sector. They used tanks, mines and road blocks and fought savagely from tree to tree as they fell back in the thick woods about 25 miles east of the Moselle. One spearhead, striking directly toward the Saar, was nearing the Baccarrat area, 23 miles northeast of Epinal and 45 miles east southeast of Strasbourg, near the German bor der. The other, which ran into a par ticularly strong force of seasoned German troops, was approximately 20 miles northeast of Nancy in the area of Dieuze and Marsal. In fierce battles waged by the Germans in desperate attempts to hold off the allied orces, 14 enemy tanks were destroyed in the Dieuze area yesterday. An ammunition dump was blown up west of Nancy. For the first time of the war, French forces of the interior were fighting alongside American troops on the Moselle front in the steadily increasing drive to the reich border. Heavy fighting continued in the Metz area, but American forces were said to be gaining ground slowly and painfully against stiffening resistance.
