THE BEE: OMAHA, FK1UAY, JULY. 22, 1921. Poor Families Enjoy Outing Toil-Worn Mothers With Kid dies Forget Cares at Volun teers of America Picnic. "Did'ja gc enough watermellon and ice cream, Mike?" "Should say I did. Gee. ain't it great out here where it's cool?" Thus did the conversation fly amng youthful guests of the Volun teers of America at their annual pic nic for poor mothers and children of the city in Elmwood park yesterday. And if the kiddies enjoyed the out ing, so too did the mothers. There were mothers carrying babies in their arms and five or six more kiddies hanging to their skirts; there were mothers whose toil-worn hands and care-lined faces told of gruelling vork and worry. But for the moment they had cast care aside; their tired eyes brightened and their pale faces became flushed with the fresh air, the excitement of the merry games. Maj. F. McCor inick, in charge of the picnic, esti mated there were 600 mothers and children present. There was no creed or nationality recognized at the picnic. There were Itp'iians, Roumanians, Armenians, Russians, Germans and many of na tive birth. Nor was there any dis sension; alj were too busy enjoying the all-too-short hours of freedom. Mrs. Laura Hoffman and Alice Mc Cormick had charge of the games. Mayor Dahlmnn. after inspecting the picnic, exclaimed: "Wonderful. It is a wonderful work."

T)efined by the dictionary as "a callous growth of the skin caused by intermittent pressure," a "corn is therefore seen to be due to rub bing or pressing upon any portion of the body although we generally anply the term to the feet only. Here the callous growth is due to the pressure of the leather of the shoes upon some outstanding portion of the foot, principally the joints or sides of the toes. But note that word "intermittent" in the definition of the term "corn," for there lies the entire reason for the hard growth. Inasmuch as we-remove our shoes at night, no pressure oH this k nd can be regarded as con tinuous and, if it were, no corn would appear, but the skin would be worn away into a depression in stead of a lump. Removing the pressure from time to time permits the skin to build up the injured tis sues and to attempt to guard this portion of the body by a coating of a hard substance or callous. It s this coat:ng which causes the pain of a corn, for it presses upon the more delicate structure underneath arid results in a hurt precisely simi lar to the one which we experience if we press against any portion of the skin with a blunt instrument. While we think of "corns" as occurring only on the feet, they may develop on any portion of the body subjected to a "constant intermit tent pressure." Thus workmen, ten nis players and golfers get corns oi callouses on their hands; draughts man and others who sit with their elbows constantly pressing against a desk frequently develop a mild spe cies of corns there and callous growths around the waist are by no means infrequent among women who are in the habit of wearing t:ght corsets. (Copyright, 1921, Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) I -No Hirst eal Action Common Sense By J. J. MUNDY. Ever Have a Groijeh? Did you ever know anyone to be grouchy who did not think they had a grievance? What would seem like a grievance to another might not affect you at all, but nevertheless the man or the woman with a grouch has a personal grievance. . If you are closely connected with the grouchy one, you are the first to notice it and wonder why. You cannot imagine, when you are feeling good, why another should icel quite the opposite. , When persons are busy every min ute there is no time to think, but when a rest is imperative or there is a bit of leisure, the mind begins to think. Look out that no one has a chance to feel lonely on you' account Because specific facts are not men tioned from day to day in this re gard is no reason for believing that the time is far distant when certain things are going to strike home to the other fellow. In providing yourself amusement, do not think to ease your mind about those dependent upon you to state their personal likes and dislikes in the amusement question' and take a definite sum and do a certain thing to "maHa up" for what you do. (Copyright, Hit, International Feature . 1 Service, Inc.) Prevent Future Wars The discouragement and pessimism, of people the world over who thought all the blood shed and suffering of the black years of war had brought nothing but heartache and taxes, seemed to turn again into hope a few days ago when President Harding sent out a call to the Great Powers for a disarmament conference, and they all agreed to come. Nation seemed to call to nation in the cable dispatches from London, ParisRome, Tokyo and Berlin, telling of cheering parliaments, and approving statesmen and leaders of opinion in the press rising to a world-circling chorus. "A start has actually been made" toward disarmament, and, the New York World notes, "the richest and most powerful of all countries has taken the first step. . . . Peoples staggering under an unbearable burden of taxation are not likely to sup ' port governmental quibbling and halting," noV that the start has been made. "We are ready to discuss with American statesmen any proposal for the limitation of armaments which they wish to set out, and we can undertake that no such overtures will find lack of willing ness on our part to meet them," declared Prime Minister Lloyd George. In Japan, former Minister of Justice Ozaki, touring the country for disarmament, declared on July 4th that such a conference as President Harding has now called would "surely be the beginning of a solu tion of all the diplomatic questions between Japan and the United States." While there are some skeptical voices raised in various quarters, there is no doubt that there is a real world demand for the limitation, if not the entire scrapping of present dav navies.
