Large Boonville Home Destroyed By Hire Sunday The large 12 room home of Mr. and Mrs. Wiley Norman, in Boon ville was completely destroyed by fire early Sunday morning, before the family woke up. It is thought' to have started from a kitchen flue. Mr. Norman stated that the loss was $6,000, partly covered by insurance. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Simmons of Pilot Mountain, daughter and son in-law of the Normans, were asleep on the second floor of the house when the fire was discov ered. They escaped in their night clothing. The Normans saved only a small amount of furniture and no cloth ing except that which they were wearing. No beds were saved. A bucket brigade was formed and prevented the flames spread ing to the filling station and ga rage of Francis Woodhouse and the home of Mrs. Barnett Smith, both adjoining the Norman resi dence. The Normans are occupying an apartment in the Moxley resi dence. Citizens of Boonville con- > tributed clothing, iunas ana food to aid the Norman family. ' Traffic Marker Here Obstructs Greyhound Bus A trick picture of a freight train on Eikin's Main street Dresumably being stalled by a traffic marker at the intersec tion of West Main and Church street, which appeared in the Gab Bag recently, caused con siderable comment here. How ever, had a cameraman been at the same intersection Son day afternoon he could have made an actual photo of a big streamlined Greyhound bus be ing stalled by one of the markers. In making a turn at the in-" teroection, the big bits, evi dently a special, struck the high marker with a front wheel, according to reports, I which became wedged against it j in some way as is halt the ! progress of the machine. It was finally necessary for the I bus, which unavoidably halted j traffic for several minutes, to back up and try again before getting by the traffic marker. Coras Corns are the result of civiliza tion. The cave man and those who preceded and succeeded him, never had such callouses on their | feet, for the simple, but all suf jficient reason that their pedal I extremities were not confined i within shoes or boots. Of course, as the world knows, the use of shoes came after men, for centuries, had worn sandals, which did not in any manner restrict or press upon the sur face of the feet, and it is a mat ter of record that an Egyptian king had a slave carry his slip pers, only putting them on when absolutely necessary because he had developed a corn from wear ing them. Then came various types of foot coverings in the form of the shoe such as we know it. In summer the majority of people went barefooted, but when the snows of winter came they wrap ped their feet in covers of grass, skins from wild animals and cloth for protection against the ele ments. Some authorities say that the American Indian or the Esqui maux were the real inventors of shoes, for they never wore san dals but always did use mocca sins, or soft skin shoes made from the pelt of the deer or the fur of the seal. Various stories of the lives of these primitive men, drawn upon stone, before the advent of the shoe in either Egypt or Europe, show this. The crusaders, who roamed all over Europe and into the I£ply Lands spread the demand for shoes, be cause their feet were encased in leather coverings to protect them from rough trails over which they wandered in their pilgrim ages. Ultimately, all persons wore , shoes and when the first colonists landed at Plymouth, shcemaking , was introduced into the New , World, about 1629. In 1785 mod ern made their ap pearance and the era of torture from corns began, for the simple , reason that fashion decreed that i all shoes must fit the foot tightly. Any pressure exerted upon the foot increases the blood supply, with the result that the activity of the skin tissue results in a thickening or hardening, termed a "corn." This condition may be contributed to by a wrongly bal anced diet. As the thickened enlarges in area, it presses upon the bones of the foot and intensi fies the pain. There is but one way to cure a corn and that is to wear larger shoes and eat the proper types of food. Foot baths of Epsom salts and warm water twice daily, the feet being immersed for at least twenty minutes, may also help. Many sufferers have adopted walking on grass when wet with dew, as a means for preventing or stopping corns, a priest in Cincinnati, Ohio, having started this cult. Perhaps the only good that comes from these early morning strolls is that the feet are released from the tight leather casing and the dew helps soften the com; I have never had a corn, because I never wore tight £hoes. Obeyed Orders A tUuonmaster on an Italian railway had been given strict or ders not to do anything out of the ordinary without authority from the superintendent of the line. This accounted for his sending the following telegram: "Superintendent's Office, Cal cutta: Tiger on platform eating I porter. Wire instructions."
