Ace in the Hole King George opened history's big- gest poker game Monday with a sol- emn warning to put all the cards on the table and the hope that everyone will get a slice of the pot. His leading subject, Prime Minister MacDonald, then came to bat with a speech in which he called attention to the international debts, America’s ace in the hole. Before the game could be completed, he said in effect, .20| lems are in the highest degree irra- 50] 8Way with them, roads to carry and the people to use. These things are encouraging. They are proof that this land of tremend- ous capacity to produce a people's needs is again making the things which the public has demanded, The development may be the result of many things but whatever the cause all of us like the result. Absurd Facts One of the most encouraging things about the world’s present difficulty is the fact that all of its major prob- tional.

World-wide communication is an accomplished fact. Distances have shrunk to mere fractions of their old length. The increasing complications of world finance and trade have made all countries inter- dependent. A new network of treaties has been set up to preserve the peace. Events have compelled the dullest men to realize that war costs more than it can possibly be worth. Yet in the face of all of these facts, one of our very greatest problems is the problem of keeping the peace. The world is drifting toward war in spite of the fact that it has more reasons for staying at peace than it ever had before. It is the same in the economic field. We have developed the art of production to the point where Poverty need no longer exist.

No one need be surprised at the in- jection of the war debt question into the discussion, despite the fact that it is not on the program and that America’s delegates are not in posi- tion to discuss it. It is too close to European hearts for them to ignore it and the United States cannot go on under the status quo much longer. It is not improbable that some re- visions will be made on the debt ques- tion while the economic parley is in Progress and that an adjustment of this vexing problem may coincide with @efinite constructive action at Lon- don, 4 But it would be foolish to take that ‘ace out of the hole now.

TOO DARN MANY NEUROTICS IN THESE BENIGHTED STATES One of the numerous modern prophets stakes everything on the hypothesis that disease arises from association, suggestion, which arouses fear, and this fear of the disease so weighs on the mind that the actual symptoms of the disease are produced. Now if we could draw a clear dividing line between hysteri- Similarly, world trade today ought is made easy were never so well developed. But world trade dwindles, year by year, and most na- tions have been busy cutting |it down still further by means of tariffs, im- port restrictions, quota laws and the like. These problems, when examined carefully, simply don’t make sense. Is it too much to expect that we cal people and people of stable men- tality, this notion of disease might serve very well, for the hysterical class. But it is scarcely enough to account for real sickness. A man of middle age and neither vocation nor avocation,, neither enough work nor a good hobby, some- how became obessed with the idea that he was developing cancer of the stomach. From time to time he would consult a physician, but he never divulged what was on his mind, and shall presently find a way to start moving with the tide instead of against it? Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies, Ballyhooligan Attorneys in Office (Hettinger County Herald) Is it true that the lawyer in of- he rather resented the fact that the various physicians failed to find any- thing much the matter with him. He assumed they didn’t know or per- haps they did not care to tell him the truth. His constant introspection and worry began to get in its deadly work. The man lost weight, lost ap- petite, lost strength, lost what little interest he had in life. His acquain- tances, in that thoughtless or cruel way acquaintances have, began to comment on the poor fellow’s ghast- ly appearance and to ask what in the world was the matter with him. That alone is almost enough to make a normal person a little ill.

We would be silly to relinquish them before the game gets well under way. ‘This thought probably is the basis for President Roosevelt's decision not to let the debt question be formally discussed as a part of the economic parley agenda. The big stick can be wielded much more effectively from the outside. Those Traffic Figures How far and how fast the country hhas progressed on the road back to better times is indicated by the lat- est figures bearing on the subject. For the first time in over three Years, freight carloadings are better than for the same period of the year before. Last week 541,309 carloads of revenue freight were shipped as com- pared with 521,249 for the correspond- ing week in 1932. Thus this important index boldly crosses the line in an upward direction. It is to be hoped that this figure will continue to rise and that it eventually will go to unparalleled heights, for it is a pretty accurate measure of the well-being of the na- tion. A “Ships and shoes and sealing wax” 8 well as thousands of other articles must be transported from the maker to the user. And so, when these fig- ures rise, we may take it for granted that more children are being properly fed, more little bodies are protected by Good clothing and more of every kind of goods is going into the hands of the people for their use. Export and import figures still are down to pitiable levels but the output of electric power shows a comparative gain over 1932, showing that more things are being made for the rail- the law? Perhaps, because the lawyer spends his life in looking for loopholes in the statutes, because he does not fear lawsuits, because lawyers are seldom disbarred, because ‘he does not fear the ordeal of the witness stand, nor public prosecutor, the lawyer breaks laws more bravely and laughs loudest at the constitution. It does seem that lawyers are lead- ers in teaching disrespect for the three states have called forth troops that call for a banner headline in newspapers. “Alfalfa Bills” and apparently more interested in making moving picture scenarios of state capitols than in employing states- manship in solving problems. Con- tracts and constitution are abrogated as force is applied with moratoriums enforced by martial law. In our own North Dakota, Lawyer Langer as Hitler calls for a demons- tration by his brown-shirted boys. Martial law was declared in the quiet little city of Bismarck, when it was said somebody threw a brick at a truck. Of course all understood that the move was a movie stunt, but the joke was carried so far that it is said the soldiers iterferred with Uncle Sam’s mail which is no joke. But let us not be too dogmatic. This is the era of errors. Laymen as well as lawyers salute the system of Stalin. All seem to aspire to be miniature Mussolinis “muscling in” to make a hit as Hitlers. They wish to shuffle the cards for Roosevelt's “new deal” and gladly substitute showmanship for statesmanship. They Prefer state capitols as “movie stu- dios” rather than seats of govern- ment and they trade the privileges of the popular government of the people for personal publicity, just as Teadily as they trade tax dollars, raised for other purposes, for radio talking time. Lawyers, perhaps, do more to create disrespect for the law, but there are others. Movie-minded vot- ers are themselves much to blame be- cause they pick moving-picture-sher- iffs and bally-hooing Barnums for high political office. Slickers with silver tongues ever make suckers out of sovereign electors, The world speed record for sea- lanes is held by Warrant Officer 'rancisco Agello, of the Italian navy, who set a new mark of 423,772 miles an hour recently. Civil and government aircraft in the United States consumed 54,058,- 431 gallons of gasoline and 1,568,923 gallons of oil in 1932.

At this stage of the tragedy the man came into intimate contact with a physician—not professionally but socially, It happened the physician impressed him as an honest man al- tho a doctor. Little by little the medical friend broke down the in- valid’s falseworks and finally reached fe core of common sense. Oh, yes, there’s a core of that in nearly all of us. The invalid now went back to his last physician and told him all about it. The physician assured him the symptoms did not suggest cancer, but proposed that they go thru with the necessary tests and analyses and make sure. When all this was done the findings were so typical of or- ganic health th@t the doctor was able to convince the patient his fears were unwarranted. From that moment on- ward restoration of health.was an uninterrupted process. Today the man is perfectly well. Now I believe there are innumer- able neurotics in these benighted states just like that. Seldom do you rescue a neurotic by telling - him bluntly there’s no such thing as the asa are of cancer of the jaw? (S. M. F.) Answer—No, you tell your doc- tor the symptoms of your complaint. This is just a health column. Warm Commendation T have been taking your Iodin Ra- tion for two years. My trouble was what I called poor circulation. I was always’ cold, slept between blankets and more heavy clothing and even then was uncomfortable when others were 0. k. Thanks to your ration I am now free from this trouble and able ‘5 enjoy even cold weather. Answer—The iodin is a gentle stim- ulant to the thyroid gland function, and when that function is sluggish one usually feels like that. Glad to mail any correspondent instructions for taking an Iodin Ration, on re- ceipt of request (no clipping) and a stamped envelope bearing the full address. Mature adults who feel “stale” need it. (H. W... by the way, confesses to 72 years.) More adults around 40 need iodin. Old Iron Is the Best Will you please give your opinion on the value of organic and inorganic fone the treatment of anemia. , Answer—Various scientific inves- tigations have indicated that the old- er inorganic iron preparations are the more effective. Especially when a wee dash of copper is added. For instance a solution of one ounce of iron and ammonium citrate in four ounces of water, and a grain of cop- per sulphate added, makes an ex- cellent remedy for anemia in which there is a low hemoglobin or red coloring matter in the blood. The dose of this is a teaspoonful or two after each meal for a few weeks, Being neutral or slightly alkaline it will not injure the teeth. (Copyright, 1933, John F. Dille Co.) [DO YOU KNOW HER? By PAUL HARRISON New York, June 13.—They’re up to their old tricks again, those magicians. And so many new trieks, in addition, that you are never sure whether they’re going to pull a hat out of a rabbit or allow themselves to be sawed in half by a woman. The Society of American Magi- cians had its twenty-ninth annual dinner in New York the other eve- ning. At least, there was a dinner to be had. Most of the members sat around pulling tricks. They pulled carnations out of the fruit coupe; they hoisted coins out of their soup; they pulled tableware, billiard balls and vari-colored silk handkerchiefs out of the baked chicken; and they extracted decks of cards from their salad, ok * They’d Food You All manner of people were there —members of the Stock Exchange, college professors, jewelers, attor- neys, a waiter who's one of the so- ciety’s officers, actors, judges, authors, architects — magicians all. Bernard Ernst, the president, used to handle Harry Houdini’s legal af- fairs, learned some tricks from the old master, and now is one of the most noted amateur prestidigitators. Royal V. Heath, one of the trustees and a Wail Street broker, has writ- ten a book called “Mathamagic”; all about how to do tricks with figures. Clark B. Allen, the society’s vice president, also is an official of a fireworks company. Julien Pros- kauer, another trustee, is vice presi- dent of three publishing corporations’ and a director of six. That just gives you an idea. Scores of professional magicians are mem- bers too, such as Cardini, Ransom, Williston, Annemann and the great John Mulholland. The latter was just back from Europe and, as is the cus- HORIZONTAL ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE 18 Seventh e 2 1Who is Indy in the picture? 13 The conduct of monetary falrn.

Instead, their chief delight is in skill and subtlety. The audience sighed enviously at the smooth skill of Mulholland’s card tricks, muttered “Beautiful—beauti- ful!” as Williston extracted numer- ous ivory balls and a pool cue from: this astonished correspondent’s coat | pocket, Yet most of the magicians knew pretty definitely how the trickg were done. Their plaudits were for skilled performance. And for daring too— as when Annemann stood squarely in the blast of a 44-4 rifle and ap- parently caught a marked bullet in his teeth. You can believe what you like about whether the bullet actual- ly came from the gun, but it is an absolute fact that several men have been killed trying the stunt. Ace of all amateur magicians is probably Dr. Samuel Cox Hooker, i wealthy retired chemist of Brooklyn, N. Y. Runner-up is Dr. Shirley M. Quimby, Columbia University pro- fessor of physics.

In her first encounter with Travers, Mary Lou plays her part perfectly.
