And we'll hdve an ice cream cone together!" . These areu't the <exact. words of the song, but they would have been fitting in 1904, as well as suitable for 1954. For the St. Louis Worlds Fair ground was the birthplace of the ice cream cone in 1904--just 50 yearg From the first cone born of necessity at a pastry stand located ntcit to an ice cream cone booth at the Fair, the ice cream cones turned out today number in the multi-millions every year. . A native of Damascus, Syria--Ernest A. Hamwi--is credited with riginating the first cone holder for ice cream. Hamwi had a concession t the St. L or at a flat vitdE* .. recipe came from countries around the Persian Gulf. LoUis Fair to sell Zalabia, a crisp wafer-like pastry baked on iron served thin with sugar or other sweets. The Zalabia Hamwi tielps Out One day when the ice cream booth ran out of dishes because of the terrific demand for its product, Hamwi quickly assisted by rolling out one of the thin wafer-lifte yaffles into the shape of a cone or cornucopia. When the cornucopia filled with ice cream was handed to an eager customer, his reaction was spontaneous. The cone wafi on its way to becoming a great American institution. The combination cone-shaped pistry and ice cream became known as the World's Fair Cornucopia. It was not until 1906 that the word "cone" instead of "cornucopia" began to identify the handy and delicious ice cream container. Rolled and Molded The modern ice cream cone developed along two patterns, the rolled cone and the molded cone. The rolled product was a baked waffle in round shape which was at first rolled by hand, later mechanically, as soon as it came off the griddle. In a few seconds, it hardened in the form of the crisp cone that is known today. The molded cone was shaped m one of two ways; either the batter was poured into a shell and a core inserted oti which the cone was baked, or the cone was formed in a mold which was split so that the cone en t.ta form or oin could be removed without difficulty.

GAS COMPANY OFFTCIAI, Luster L. Starrett, a -division commercial rrjanager for Commonwealth Edison company, tand Charles W. Daniels, a division supervisor of general .service, have been elected treasurer and assistant treasurer, respectively, of Northern Illinois Gas company, it was announced recently by Marvin chandler, president of Northern Illinois Gas. D. Robert Bower, who has been treasurer of both iSdison and its gas subsidiary, wijl relinquish his ' duties with the latter. at HEALTH TALK Care of. thfeFeet ,,, Improperly fitting (Awes are the most common cause of pain-* ful feet, ,.yet many people, women in particular, pay more at* tention to style than to qomfort in £he selection of shoes, the educational committee of the, Illinois State Medical society points out in a health talk. Shoes should be fitted to giVe the wearer stability and balance in walking. Certainly 'the body structure is not in proportion with extremely high and narrow heels, which are present day dictates of fashion. Since arches do not ( usually "fall" or "break" of therftsfelVes, it is , reasonable to assume that external irritation is responsible, and usually the shoes and stockings. are, the culprits. On the other hand, arthritis frequently causes painful feet, especially in older persons. Disturbances of the circulation' may be responsible for foot paihs and nerve inflammations. The condition "fallen arches" seems to occur most often in women and results from some injury to one of the main bones of the foot known as the astragalus. People who stand long hours are likely to be disturbed by painful feet due to continuous strain on the arches. In such cases the pain is the result of rigidity of the tissues and of spasms of thq muscles in their effort to overcome the strain. ., Twenty-six joints exist among the fames in each foot from ankle toe tip and sinfce Joints are purely mechanical methods of cHaftging .the .direction of force; thfey play a large part in the flexibility of the feet. Cbllou&fe and corns are two common ailments. The former is a thickening of the normal skin caused by excessive pressure for a proldn'gfed p'eridd of time. Corns on the other hand, are thickenings of the skiii together with the callous, but in the central portion there is a cote that penetrates into the deeper trestles. Both of these conditions can be avoided, if adequate attention is paid to the cafe of the feet. Bunions are a protrusion of the bone, usually at the base of the large toe. Women are the chief victims of this condition, caused by the spreading of the metatarsal bones. Their development is again encouraged by the wearing of high heels. Ingrown toenails are another source of painful feet. These can be avoided if the nail is cut at right angles to its growth. The corners should be squar^ rather than rounded. This will prevent the mitt from penetrating the soft skin tissues. ( Since the feet accumulate dirt and peroration, they should, be bathed fr^uelftiy and carefully with wdrni solpy water. Social attention should be paid to the webbing between the toes to 'prevent the growth of bacteria and ftingi. Since {Get carry the weight Of the body, pofetlire plays an important part in the chre of the feet. Standing with the feet pointing outward, instead "of fopward, causes undue strain on the ligaments cblinecting the foot bones, especially on the, inner aide , of the long arches. The : resulting slight ache ofl£n grjEws t6" Itevere A .little cOmmon sense in tfie selection of foot gear and per- Sb'nai habits Of good hygiene in the care of 'the feet will do much to Weep you free of painful fetet.
