BV WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Serippu-Ifonard Foreizn Editor The London economic conference is doomed unless it can do somethin!? to stabilize currency. Edouard Herriot, former prime minister of France, made this statement while in Washington conferring with President Roosevelt. Practically everybody agreed with him. State Secretary Cordell Hull, head of the American delegation to London, stressed the necessity of reducing tariffs, and abolishing other barriers to international trade. Unless this is accomplished, he holds, disaster will overtake the world because nations will build their tariff walls still higher against each other, shut out imports and begin an international trade war which may end in bloodshed. With this view, again, practically everybody is in agreement. Only most of them add a “but." All Depends on Currencies Until something can be done to make the principal currencies of the world stop fluctuating, they warn, nothing much can be done about the tariffs. Tariffs are aimed to keep out cheap foreign products—products made so cheaply that legitimate home concerns can not compete, and. thus, are put out of business. Take Japan. Formerly the yen exchanged for 50 cents. Today it exchanges for only 25 cents. As coolie labor in Japan is dirt cheap anyway—millions working for 10, 15 or 20 cents a day—there hardly is a civilized country in the world that, can compete with her. Already Japan has almost driven British competitors even out of India. Only Two Remedies Against depreciated currencies mid cheap labor, there are only two remedies. One is to restore sound find stable currency. The other is to raise tariffs to take care of the differentials—the differences between the cost of production in one country and the cost of production in another, and between the value of money in one country and the value of money in another. That is why Harriot and others grimly warn that the first job of the London conference is to stabilize the dollar, the pound, the yen and other currencies, and provide international trade with a proper yardstick—a dependable standard of value. The only dependable standard of value. Sir Neville Chamberlain, British chancellor of the exchequer, insists, is gold. Some way, sometime, somehow, he asserts, the principal nations of the world must return to some form of gold standard. Until they do. he warns, the present chaos in which world trade finds itself, can never be permanently cured.

Great Britain, U. S. Hold Key Herriot sees Great Britain and the United States as holding the key to the situation. He says the pound and ttie dollar first must get back to the gold standard at seme definite ratio, one to the other. But Great Britain will be difficult to deal with. She demands two things as the price agreement. First, she insists on sterling being Stabilized, not at the old price of $4.86 to the pound, but at $3.80 or $3.90 to the pound. This would give her—like Japan—a big advantage in international trade. Second, before she returns to the gold standard. Britain wants a war debt settlement with the United States—a settlement at 10 cents, or thereabouts, on the dollar. And this is an impossible demand—if congress or even the last Democratic platform stands for anything. Gold Crux of Conference Sir Neville says Britain will not return to gold uutil she is certain slv* can stay there. And she can not be certain of that until she knows definitely how much she will have ' pay the United States. > the end. he reminds, interna- ' balances are settled in gold, rdlrss of the status of world ijeneies. And as Britain has comparatively little gold, any heavy annual balances paid to the United States over the next half-century—as called for by the debt agreement—would pull Britain off gold again, even if she now consented to go back on. The crux of the London conference. therefore, is money. Or. in the last analysis, gold. URGES AIR TRAVEL FOR HOT WEATHER COMFORT Passengers Often Request Turning on of Heaters, Says Manager. In gangster parlance, "turn on the heat” means bad news, but when an air transport passenger utters these words, he means them literally, because he is cold, despite heat waves on earth, according to C. E. McCollum. Transcontinental-Western Air traffic representative. McCollum today added air travel to the list of recipes for hot weather comfort, pointing out that temperatures around 100 degrees on the ground are accompanied by readings of 50 to 60 in the cabins of the big multimotor transports. Pilots, seeking maximum comfort for the passengers, fly at altitudes ranging from 10.000 to 14.000 feet. It is not unusual, he said, for passengers on TWA planes to request pilots to turn on the plane heaters, he said. Nine Priests Ordained fiu Vnitrd Pres* FT WAYNE. Ind..

AIR HOSTESS NEVER TALKS OF PERILS It’s Her Job to Put Passengers at Ease in Speeding Plane

Bf KARL SPARLING Tbnea Special Writer THEY must smile and smile. They must smile, no matter what they are thinking, how they are feeling. Because if they neglected to smile, some of the passengers might think something was wrong. Passengers must not get to thinking things like that 5,000 feet up in the air. Smiling with a toothache is one of the easiest things they have to do. They must not fail in love and get married. They never must let their weight go over 125 pounds They must be ready to go out and stay a week, ts necessary, with only one dress to wear. And finally, they never, never, must imply, or allow any one else to imply, that they lead dangerous lives, because airplane hostesses came into existence for the very purpose of proving to the public that transport airplanes are safe. If a slim young girl can ride day after day and year after year without anything happening to her, why can not a daredevil salesman risk a flight every now and then? “It’s not exciting, at all," said Miss Alice West, wno has flown more than 300,000 miles as a hostess for the Eastern Air Transport. “Is it, Rita?" Miss Rita Brady, who has flown about 167,000 miles with the same line, shook her head. “There isn’t much adventure to it. It’s fun and T love it, but I never think of it as adventuresome. Most of the time nothing happens at all.” tt tt tt THINGS happen sometimes,” explained Muss West, “but they aren’t the kind of things you would expect. The most exciting thing that ever happened on our plane was when the stork almost arrived between Atlantic City and Newark. “The mother got on at Newark. I went up and told the pilot how things were. “Well, what am I supposed to do?' he yelled. I said, ’You better do something.’ So he opened both motors wide and we got to Newark just in time. “We radioed ahead and the ambulance was waiting. The baby was born ten minutes after we arrived.” Miss Brady's expression was envious. “I haven’t had anything that good,” she complained. “I did have to take a 16-month-old baby from Newark down to Jacksonville, however. The father arrived with the baby just before we sailed. I was introduced to him. I waited for him to take his place. ‘Oh, he's not going,’ they said, ‘the baby is going alone.’ “The mother was ill, I believe, and the baby was going down to the grandmother. We had a perfect flight.” “The worst thing that ever happens,” continued Miss West, “is when you get bad weather and can't get back to port. The hostess is part of the crew, you know. She goes with the ship until it gts back to port. We aren't allowed to leave the ship and take a train back. Once I was out for fourteen days.” “Anything like that ever hap-

Contract Bridge

BY IV. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridie Leaiue THERE is no glory in winning a trick with an ace or a king. The real thrill of contract comes in making seemingly worthless cards work for you to produce a much-ncded trick. Sir Derrick j. Wernher of Deal, N. j., president of the American Bridge League, gives a demonstration of this neat play in the following hand. Sir Derrick, sitting in the South and using the Sims constructive system of bidding, opened the contracting with one spade. While the hand is rich in tenace positions, it contains a weak doubleton which immediately condemns it as an original no trump bid—and of course there are 100 honors in spades, in addition. West, having the other major, made a negative double. North had just a borderline constructive overcall of two spades. East passed, South went to three spades, and North rather optimistically carried the contract to four spades. West opened the king of hearts and then shifted to the eight of trump, Sir Derrick in the South winning with the ten. It looks as though the declarer must lose two h°art and two diamond tricks. The jack of hearts was led. West winning with the queen. West returned another spade, hoping to stop some club ruffs. Sir Derrick won the trick with the jack and then led a small club, winning in dummy with the ace. 808 A HEART was returned from dummy, and South trumped. The king of clubs then was cashed

A week and two weeks with only one dress?” tt t> “Tl rEIGHT is very important VV in flying," said Miss West firmly. “We can take only a small handbag with us. It’s because weight is so important that we must stay under 125 pounds. “I weighed 124 pounds when I got the plane. I started dieting. I weigh only 112 now." Flying as a hostess is America’s newest job for enterprising young women. It started out in the west about three years ago on the United Air Lines. Out there the flying is high and wide —over the mountains and over the plains. The United Air Lines decided it wanted registered nurses. Would is be possible to find a sufficient number? Advertisements were inserted in nursing journals. In a few weeks’ time the company got 5,000 applications. The United Air Lines soon will have fifty stewardesses on its planes the United calls them stewardesses instead of hostesses —including ten who are soon to be put on the planes from here to Chicago. The flying queen of the United is Miss Ida Novelli. She has flown more than 400,000 miles—further than two or three women aviators altogether. Miss Novelli flies in the far west and rarely gets to New York.

and the nine of clubs ruffed in dummy with the nine of spades. If the declarer had now led a small diamond from dummy and taken the finesse, he would' have been forced to lose two diamonds, and thereby would have lost his contract. The eight of hearts was in dummy—West was marked with the ace. At this point, Sir Derrick made a very fine play. He led the eight of hearts from dummy and on this losing card, he discarded one of his losers—the three of diamonds. West won the trick with the ace. Sir Derrick was down to the ace and queen of spades and the ace and queen of diamonds. West had nothing but diamonds and one club. If he had returned a club, it wculd have been trumped in dummy and the losing diamond discarded from Sir Derrick's hand. Therefore, he was forced to return a diamond directly in the declarer's ace-queen. (CoDvrlaht. 1933. bv NBA Service. Inc.)

She was here a few weeks ago and told of some of her experiences and her impressions. Her experiences included a passenger who developed acute appendicitis soon after the plane had left Salt Lake. They radioed ahead and had an ambulance waiting at Reno. Another time the plane had to make a forced landing on a snow covered mountain side. Three miners were trapped another time in Provo Canyon, Nevada, without food.

DUESENBERG 8 SHOWNAT FAIR $20,000 Motor Creation Is One of Attractions at Exposition. One of the world’s most expensive automobiles, a $20,000 Duesenberg straight eight, is on display at the Chicago world’s fair. The motor develops 320 horsepower and has a speed of 135 miles an hour in high gear, and 104 miles an hour in second. The body, which required four months to build by the Rollston Body Company, New York City, is a beautiful lavender. The upholstering is of broadcloth. The instruments include a compass to enable the driver to determine directions should he lose his way while wandering from main highways, and an altimeter to determine his position above sea level. A light system to determine the water supply in the battery and the supply of oil in the motor are innovations in the way of equipment. The body is entirely of aluminum, the doors of cast aluminum. The car is equipped with safety nonshattering glass throughout. The car has a wheel base of 15314 inches, the longest of any passenger car built.

Earl Sparling, who wrote Friday of the adventures of Mrs. James L. Clark in the African jungle, continues this series today with a story about airplane hostesses—their life and experiences above the clouds. Hundreds of New Yorkers, bound for the Chicago fair or the coast, will meet these ladies of the air this summer. What they are like, how they are chosen, what happens to them on their jaunts in the sky, Mr. Sparling tells today.

the mountains with Salt Lake City cupped at the bottom of the mountains,” she declared. “Or, imagine the moonlit Sierras while gliding down from an altitude of 12,000 feet to San Francisco bay. My most interesting task is to spot the first-trippers. I explain to them how an airplane rides on a solid, the air, just like a railroad train is on a solid, the ground. .“I tell them that the plane in turning will bank slightly, just as roads are banked cn a curve. I will tell them that they can depend on their airplane motors. “Furthermore, that these planes actually can climb with their full load on only one of their two motors. Very quickly I have them at ease. The Eastern Air does not limit its hostesses to girls who are trained nurses, placing more emphasis on ability to make passengers feel at home and keep them entertained. An Eastern Air hostess must know how to play bridge and how to make conversation. An interesting conversation will make a nervous passenger forget he is in the air more quickly than anything else. As Miss West puts it, “We try to serve tea just as if we were serving it in our own homes.” Eastern Air hostesses have it the hardest, in one way, of them all. They have to agree not to fall in love with their pilots. That is Rule 16. United Airlines officials are not so unromantic. A stewardess can fall in love with her pilot if she wants to, but if they marry she loses her job. The Eastern Air Transport is very strict in these things, and it is a very hard rule
