British Ships Enter War Zone at Own Risk REMOVES

GOVERNMENT WON'T

GO TO WAR TO PREVENT BOMBINGS

Chamberlain Explains His Policy in Commons

London, June 14.

Two proposals have been made which, if practicable, might go some way towards preventing the bombing of British ships in Spanish waters.

This information was disclosed to the Commons to-night by the Prime Minister, Mr. Neville Chamberlain.

One of the proposals was for the provision of safety zones in certain harbours. The other proposal, made by the Insurgent Government at Burgos, was that a port in of the possession of the Loyalists outside the zone military operations should be allotted for the use British ships, with unhindered egress or entry.

So who cares!

Except for a few weeks in the year, tennis is the chief sport here, and private courts, clubs, and public courts are packed all day long. Play also continues late into the evening, as nearly all courts are artificially lit.

There are about 15, at least, young men who promise to be future Budges, and the standard of tennis on the West Coast is amazingly high,

This is due mostly to the help given to the younger players of both sexes by the Callfornian Tennis Association, headed by Mr. Perry Jones. From April to August tournaments are held all over the State, and any pro- mising players are given all the coaching and encouragement they could possibly get.

FOOT ITCH

Athlete's Foot

According to the Govern

ment Health Bulletin No. E-20, at least 80% of the

adult population of the United States are being attacked by the disease known as Athlete's Foot.

Usually the disease starts between the toes. Little watery blisters form, and the skin cracks and peels. After a while, the itching becomes intense, and you feel as though you would like to scratch off all the skin.

BEWARE OF IT SPREADING Often the disease travels all over the bottom of the feet. The soles of your feet become red and swollen. The skin also crucks and peels, and the itching becomes worse and worse.

Get rid of this discaso an quickly as possible, because it is very contagious and it may go to your hands or even to the under urm or crotch of the legs.

Most people who have Athlete's Foot have tried all kinds of remedies to cure it without success. Ordinary germicides, anti- septice, salvo or ointments seldom do any good.

HERE'S HOW TO TREAT IT

The germ that causes the disease is known na Tinea Trichophy ton. It buries itself deep in the tissues of the skin and is very hard to kill. A test made shows it takes 15 minutes of boiling to kill the germ; so you can see why ordinary remedies are unsuccessful. H. F. was developed solely for the purpose of treating Athlete's Fout. It is a liquid that penetrates and dries quickly. You just paint the affected parts. It peels off the tissue of the sidin where the germ breeds.

ITCHING STOPS IMMEDIATELY

As soon as you apply H. F. you will find that the itching is immediately relieved. You should point the infected parts with H. F. night and morning until your feet are well. Usually this takes from three to ten days, although in severe cases It may take longer or in mild cases less time.

II. F. will leave the skin soft and smooth. You will marvel at the quick way it brings you relief; especially if you ate one of those who have tried for years to get rid of Athlete's Foot without
