Lift Right OffJ
Hard corns, soft corns, corns be.
tween the toes and callouses lift
right off! You'll laugh—it is so
easy and doesn’t hurt a bit!
Just drop “Freezone” on any
tender, touchy corn. Instantly it
stops aching, then shortly you just
lift that old bothersome corn right
off with your fingers. It works
like a charm, every AJft
time. Seems magic! V J
A tiny bottle of
"Freezone” costs only a hQft!
few cepts at any
drug store. Try it!

J Flappers in the Federal depart
ments are the favorites of their
chiefs and superiors.
Other women beyond the flapper
age, and without flapperish ten
dencies, are sidetracked, while the
young bob-haired, roll-topped stock
ing brigade get the best jobs and the
"plums," according to Mrs. Mar
garet Hopkins Worrell, head of the
American Civil Service League,
which met in the. Powhatan Hotel
last night. ' ’ ..
Ixiis charge constitutes Mrs. Wor
rell’s latest broadside against cbn
ditfons in the Government depart
ments, which she believes are in
urgent need of reform. She at;
tacks the efficiency rating system
installed by the Bureau of Effi
ciency, declaring it was a "smoke
"Screen” behind which much favorit
ism and discrimination were prac
ticed. *
Charles A. Korbly, former Rep
resentative from Indiana, supported
Mrs. Worrell’s attack on efficiency
ratings and said the present tend
ency of the department chiefs is
to make machines out of their
workers and destroy the "human
side” of personnel management.
A rally ia to be held by the
league in the Central High School
on December to start its campaign
for an investigation of -the effi
ciency rating system by Congress.

Only 12 Potomac Park
Cherry Trees Doomed
Only about a dozen of the 125
Japanese cherry trees in Potomac
Park, which was affected by the
heavy rainfall during the summer,
will not be able to pull through, ac
cording to the office of Public
Buildings and Parks.
' The heavy summer’s rains created
pools at the bases of the trees, caus
ing root rot. Lime had hben placed
•about roots so that cold weather
wjll not affect their weakened con
dition. A heavy snow might prove
disastrous in the opinion of those in
charge of the trees;

BY COURT
Through the workings of modern
science and Invention the State of
Mississippi was stopped, for a time
at least, from carrying out the an
cient law of an eye for an-eye and a
fife for a life.
At dawn today Robert Percy Lof
ton was to have taken that dread
march from his cell to the gibbet.
He was to have paid with’ his own
life for the crime of killing J. Earl
Westbrook, chief of police of Mc-
Comb, Miss.
The long distance telephone and
the air frail yesterday were brought
into play to get before the United
States Supreme Court Lofton’s ap
peal from the sentence of the Mis
sissippi courts. The papers were
rushed to Washington by air mall,
but failed to arrive, so S. Robert
Young, Washington attorney for the
condemned man, called Governor
Bilbo, of Mississ' *spi, on the long
distance telephone and the State’s
chief executive granted a 10-day
reprieve.
The* reprieve was not granted,
however, until the Governor had
been told that a petition of appeal
had been lodged with the Supreme
Court. Arrival of the papers and
filing of the appeal will automatically
stay the sentence until the Supreme
Court passes final judgment. ' .
The alleged murder of the police
chief occurred, the State alleges,
when Westbrook attempted to ar
rest Lofton at his home on a charge
of robbery. The two men “shot it,
out;” Westbrook died of his wounds,
Lofton recovered and on November
8. 1926, was convicted and sentenced
to hang-
An appeal was taken and while
it was pending, Lofton escaped
only to be found serving a term of
four g.'ars for burglary In the Gal
gary, Alberta, jail. His sentence
wad communted by the Canadian
authorities and he w&s returned to
Mississippi and * resentenced to be
hung today. , k

POZZIEII
The United States, with its
closely woven network of high
ways in 1930 wist be a giant labora
tory for road engineers of the
world.
They will come here to observe
the methods by- which a young
country has,' in little more than a
decade, built the finest road sys
tem of the world.
This announcement was made
here by Thomas H. MacDonald,
chief of the Bureau of Public
Roads, who represented America
this summer at 'the International
Hoad Commission meeting in Paris.
All conditions which in the fu
ture may arise in other countries
are duplicated in the United States,
MacDonald pointed out, and foreign
countries are fast reaching the
stage where a national road build
ing program is becoming necessary.
The engineers will observe the
processes by which lasting roads
were put down with almost incred
ible speed in this country, end
will return to their own countries
knowing what problems they will
-meet and knowing also how ,o
best solve them.

Man Who Had 7 Wivet
Sent to Jail For
7 Years
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—-Seven
yeare in prison—one year for
each of his seven wives—gives
Clye Fox high score in tho matrl- _
monial sweepstakes. Ha was sen
tenced for bigamy, but - the case
proven seems to have been
polygamy.
Fpx, knovrn also as Cassidy,-
was sentenced this time to five
years in Sing Sing by County
Judge Taylor, of Brooklyn, after
testimony had shown he had not
secured legal separation from four,
other wives before he married
Mildred Calabrese of Brooklyn.
Several years before his recent
matrimonial adventures, Fox was
sentenced to two years in the
House of Correction, at Spring
field, Mass., on a bigamy charge.
Two-time offenders on a bigamy
charge are rare in court records.
In his trial, Fox offered the
unique argument that he rwas
being tried for bigamy in a case
involving two women, neither of
whom was his legal wife. Judge
Taylor pointed. out to the jury a
weakness of the argument in that
Fox had not produced a legal
wife.

benches, tom windows from their
frames and ravaged the cell rooms

The new benches of are of en
ameled gteel. set in the *loors in
fresh concrete and fastened into
the masonary walls with the latest
type expanding screws. The win
dows in the past have been riveted
Into their frames, and Callahan now
believes the cell-rooms to be ’mis
