>" BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, March -15.—Society in Buenos Aires has swooned away. The petrifying thought that blond and lusty Eva Duarte, recently acquired movie-actress wife of Col. Domingo Peron, is about to become Argentina's first lady has proved more «than society can bear. It is the chief topic of drawing-room conversation and the “my dears” indicate that Buenos Aires society was never more flabbergasted. If Peron wins the © presidency, and he is running far ahead, the end will have arrived. Social register families, well shellacked with variegated European cultures and rich with the breath of old Spain, can see what is ahead. The crowning social event of the season comes May 25 when Argentine society and officigldom have a starchy dinner for foreign embassy staffs here and then appear at the gala opening of the opera season. The president and his wife lead all the processions and look down their noses at lesser fries. That is only the beginning. The calendar is full of such traditional events. And the president's wife is the lead hound at all of them.

Evita Licking Her Chops

“EVITA,” AS PEOPLE in the streets call her, is

leking her chops and sharpening her knife. And Buenos Aires society knows it. Little Eva came up the rough and tumble way

and reached stardom only after she became known, about two years ago, as the strongman’s girl friend. ‘They were married last October. Even when she turns on the charm, there is a steely glint in her eye. She got out and campaigned as hard as her husband. She kissed as many babies,

Aviati HERE 18 SOME history on the record of the flying business, which will ‘qualify thé reader for doing his own predicting on the future of aviation. Back in 1932, the airlines were using 456 transports, and there were many types. These 456 airplanes provided a total seating capacity of about 3000 passengers. In 1041 there were only 359 transports but the total seating capacity was 6000 passengers... In 1944, the third year of the war, the airlines were permitted to maintain only 279 ships (the rest were taken by the army and navy) which provided a seating capacity of 4891 passengers. With these 279 planes in 1944, the airlines carried more than 4,500,000 passengers. You can make your own guess from here on the basis that the airlines already have ordered 409 new but far bigger planes with additional seating eapacity for more than 23,000 passengers.

Fares Are Lowered

ON ‘THE other hand, the non-scheduled operators “punning a super-air taxi service from anywhere to anywhere—for a price—carried 1,750,000 passengers in 1939, and 1,200,000 in 1940. Obviously charter operators’ clients have resorted to the airlines. However, from here on the charter service people are going to Boost their passenger-carrying considerably because they are all buying new ships—of greater seating eapacity. One of the most’ striking records made by the airlines is found in the reduction of the average passenger fare per mile. In 1926, when the airlines commenced operation, the average passenger fare per mile was 12 cents. By 1944 this had been reduced to 5.14 cents per mile. By reason of the greater seating capacity of newer transports, plus engineering economics, it is accepted that in the near future the average passenger fare will be about 3 cents per mile, In 1029, there were about 10,000 pilots holding CAA gertificates in this country. In 1944, this number had

Radio Managers Quake

SOME OF SOCIETY'S important names say that they would just as soon go off to Europe for the whole six-year term—if Europe were not in such a shape. Others are talking about Patagonia or even the uncultured United States. Equally as flattened are Buenos Aires radio station managers. “BEvita” likes the radio better than the movie cameras. About a year ago, she was outraged when a radio station kicked her off the air in the middle of a series of dramas called “The Womanhood of Argentina.” President Edelmiro Farrell: it seems, ordered the station to stop the series after listening to Miss Duarte emote as the spirit of Argentine womanhood. He said that it was more than he could stand. “Evita,” while helping steer the ship of state, is expected to play an important part in toning up Argentine society and in revamping the country’s radio p In Brazil, or Chile, or almost anywhere in South America, it would not make so much difference.

increased to 132,000, and unofficially it is reported out | of Washington that this number soon wi 200,000. Now for the safety angle. In 1930, the casualty rate for every 100,000,000 miles flown by our airlines was 28.6 fatalities, while for 100,000,000 miles of motorcar travel there were 174 deaths. By 1043—13 years later—the airlines had reduced their casualty to 1.3 deaths for every 100,000,000 miles flown, while the motor-car casualty rate had been reduced to only | 10.9 deaths.

Fatality Rate Drops

IN THE early days of airline transportation, insurance companies estimated that airline travel was| eight times 'as dangerous as motor travel. By 1939, however, these insurance companies, as a result of] the safety record established by the airlines, had | changed their tune to the claim that the risk in auto| travel was 50 per cent greater than in a scheduled | airline plane. As a consequence, the life insurance companies are providing full protection to airline | passengers. i The fatality rate in private flying also is on the | downward curve, reduced at the present writing to| one-eighth of its 1930 level, Of course, it is impractical to compare the motorcar casualty with that of the airplane because of the vast difference in mileage. Nevertheless, it is obvious that the safety record of airplane operation has improved far more rapidly than that of’ the motor car. The airline casualty rate still is definitely pointed downward—so is that of the private flying, business. And with non-spinnable, new private planes coming on the market, possessed of a lot of other safety features, we are going to be agreeably surprised within the next few years to find the insurance companies

It looks as though, with all the co-operation possible throughout the world, it will be difficult to avoid mass starvation in many areas. The famine emergency committee which the President has formed has an extremely difficult task before it. I am really sorry that its chairman, Mr. Herbert Hoover, with the vast experience which he acquired from his work after the first world war, is going abroad. I feel that he can do less good by taking a trip over there than he could by staying here.

Hoover a Good Organizer

HE IS a good business organizer, and I believe he would have more influence in promoting the~ things which must be done in this country and the co-opera-tion which must be obtained from our Central and South American neighbors, In all probability, to increase their production of the needed foodstuffs will require a very careful surveying of their capacities arid perhaps the allocation of farm machinery and the enlisting of personnel in this country to initiate new types of production in our

sister countries in this hemisphere. For all of -this’

Mr. Hoover's help would be invaluable.’ It seems to me that the reports coming from

WASHINGTON, March 15 (U. P.) .—Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt is opposed to an Anglo-American ‘alliance as suggested by former Brit- | jsh- Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Speaking at a dinner in her honor by the women's joint congressional committee, Mrs. Roosevelt said last night that a strong United Nations Organization and collective action was the best way to prevent another world war. : 2 She said Mr. Churchill'y great wartime leadership should never-be forgotten, but added that this nation’s vision must not be “clouded” by the thought that English-speak-ing peoples can act alone. She said she did not believe the people of Russia, Great Britain or this country wanted another war. But she said that since military force cannot be eliminated immediately, “we must build a collective force to be used by all nations.” é

‘Acidosis’ By WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, M. D. THE BODY maintains a constant state of mild alkalinity. Concern over the possibility of the body's turning acid is groundless as this never happens until after death. The term “acidosis,” as applied by physcians, refers to the fact that the body is less alkaline than usual and not that it has turned acid. _ Many people are confused by what are referred to as acid or alkaline foods and their relation to stomach acids. Stomach juice

always contains hydrochloric acid to aid in the digestion of protein, 1f this acid is absent, it may be necessary to. give some to maké up for the deficiency. Pruit juices normally are acid, but they are changed. over to alkaline when they reach the tis-
