 Unusual Circumstances
 Even before the nature of Phil lips visit to Mussolini was made known, it was evident that its cir cunstanceS were unusual.
 Ambassador Phillips returned tc his post just before Christmas after a visit to the United States and ex- tended conferences with President Roosevelt. Immediately, he re- uuested an audience of Premier Mussolini. Mussolini was absent from the city and necessarily the viist was delayed. Mussolini re- turned to Rome Monday. So urgent was the nature of the ambassador: instructions, apparently, that de- spite a heavy calendar of appoint ments, Mussolini arranged to SCI him yesterday. Phillips visited hin at the Venice palace at 2 o'clocl last night, and spent 40 minute! with him.
 How important such visit nigh be it was easy to see.
 One week from today, Prime Min. ister Neville Chamberlain is to ar. rive here with Viscount Halifax British foreign secretary, for a mosl important official visit to MusSolini
 It has been generally assumed that, during this visit, MuSsolin will seek to discuss Italian aspira- tions for concessions in the Medi- terranean.
 These concessions would come largely from France-a change 1T the status of Italians resident 1T French Tunisia, a reduction ol rates in the Suez Canal and conces- sion to Italy of a share in the canals control, change in status in the French port of Djibouti. So' maitland, which would permit Italy a free flow of goods to Addis Aba ba, Ethiopia, on the Djibouti-Ad- dis Ababa railroad which is French owned.
 No Concession Move
 So far Italy has made no officia move to obtain any concessions The campaign opened with spon' taneous" demonstration in the chamber of deputies and has beer followed up in similar demonstra- tions by students and by articles 1T the newspapers. :,
 AS regards the prospective visi, of Chamberlain, a communlque dis closed today that Dino Grandi Italian ambassador to Great Brit ain, was in Rome. His presence here was believed to indicate tha, the Chamberlain Mussolini talks would be held in an atmosphere o1 cordiality. This was because hls absence from London was regarded as proof that there was no disturb ing element" in the diplomatic pic ture which might cause a post ponement of Chamberlain's visit.
 Newspapers continued to minim- ize the importance of the visit which Premier Edouard Daladier ls making at present to Tunisia. Theil attitude is that the visit does moi a1IecC 1Cdllan dSplTaIloIlS.

 Reports in diplomatic quarters re- garding the visit of the American ambassador to Mussolini mentioned the possibility that there might have been some concrete proposals or suggestions. Observers assumed that in any event, the ambassador under his instructions, carefully &C., quainted Mussolini with the presi- dents views on the internationa situation, with the idea of impress. sing Mussolini of the reason why popular opinion in the United States is becoming antagonistic tt the aims, ideals and activities O. the Rome-Berlin Axis" and thu Italian German Japanese anti Communistic triangle"

 The first incident reported was at the Parmelee garage. A driver who managed to get his cab into the street, was said to have had an accident.

OF every four cases,

was in exact proportion to the de-
gree of disturbance in the liver"
Other Causes Contribute.
While many physicians will agree
with DR.. Contreu that the failure of
the liver to remove poisons is one
cause of rheumatism, others believe
the infection of teeth and tonsils
created so much poison that the
liver was unable to filter it out and
this poison, carried to the joints,
caused the rheumatism or arthritis.
1t can readily be proved that
symptoms of arthritis were first
made worse and then disappeared
after removal of infected teeth and
tonsiIs, and it can be just as readily
proved that many individuals with
badly infected teeth and tonsils
never had an attack of rheumatism.
However, as physicians generally
agree that toxins (poisons) cause
rheumatism, the first thought is not
only to remove the poisons but re-
move the factories Objected teeth,
tonsils, gall bladder) manufactur-
ing the poisons.
After this has been done, heat
and other forms of treatment can
be given.

Chances are the champ will still

factory, keeping things moving and
equally important-keeping them
secret.
Lockheed's physical problem is
typical. Her 523, 900 square feet of
floor space is double the capacity of
last year, but there still isn't enough
room. But the plane manufacture
ers are wise enough to look for
ward few years. They'd rather
put on the finishing touches out
doors than invest in new factories
which few years hence might be
ghosts.
Down south, at San Diego you'll
find the same busting at Ryan and
Consolidated factories. Ryan, which
got its start in 1926 when a slim
young fellow named Lindbergh
asked for plane capable of flying
5000 miles, specializes in teaching
pilots and building training planes.
Ships Get Bigger, Too.
Consolidated, right next door to
Ryan, and Boeing up in Seattle are
building most of Uncle Sans NAM
moth planes. In side-by-side assem-
bly, lines at Consolidated you'll
find army and navy bombers al
most as big as the Yankee Clipper.
The army plane has wheels that
stand AZ feet high-the largest ever
used on a ship.
Those "fying fortresses" you've
read about come from Boeing, which
also builds Pan American clippers
and "stratoliners." Up Seattle way
they used to make great ado about
christening new ships and watching
them take the air for the first time.
But nowadays it's mere routine.
Boeing has SO flying fortresses of
the BIB type to turn out for the
army, about one-third of which are
already finished. They'll soon start
on an $4,000, 900 order for more fort
resses of the B-17-C type. Sand

Veteran Teller
Can Celebrates;

By ROBERT McSHANE

THOUGH Bob Teller reached
L mans estate only recently, the
Iowa farm boy has been doing a
mans work for the Cleveland In
dams since he was II years old.
BasebalPs most publicized young
ster, who had to take time off from
the major leagues to return for his
high school diploma, is just 81. But
already he's a veteran of the pitch

BOb's birthday in no way disrupt
ed the calm routine of the Teller
family on the farm at Van Meter,
Iowa. Mrs. William Feller, attrac-
tive mother of the pitching ace,
didn't get at all excited about the
event. To BOb'S friends in Van Me-
ter he's the same popular, likeable
lad who left home three years ago
to write new pages in the history
of baseball.
Though Bob is one of the best
known ball players in the game to-
day, it is generally conceded that he
is just starting a career which will
rank him with basebalPs immortals.

YOU can't play baseball with a
L fish pole, nor can you hit home
runs with football. You must have
the proper "tools of the trade" to
be proficient in any sport.
A bowler needs violating bowl

for the convenient transportation of
the ball and the shoes.

To determine the proper span,
place thumb in the thumb hole to
the depth desired. Then lay hand
fiat on the surface of the ball, with
the middle finger extended over the
finger hole. The knuckle joint of the
finger should extend about one-quar-

finger hole. This allows little room
for manipulation. If the right

The queen popped into headlines
recently when she joined King Leo
pold of Belgium in offering her medi-
alton services to the warning ma
tons. The offer was refused and a
few days later a border clash oc-
CURED between Dutch and Nazi ma
tionals-strongly reminiscent of the
disputes leading to Poland's inva-
sion.
Through this crisis, as in 1914,
Wilhelmina has stood firm knowing
that no aggressor could expect any
help from factions within the Dutch
frontiers. Her subjects know her as
a "housewifely queen" who, in 1918,
was clever enough to turn threat
ened revolution into a love feast.
The day her socialist subjects
planned to revolt, she issued a proc
lamation announcing important So
cial and economic reforms.
AS result the Netherlands now
has successful system of poor re-
lief and workmen's compensation.
The Zuider Zee has been reclaimed
until the Dutch have a new prov

She has held her throne longer
than any other European ruler.
Known as the dutch Victoria" she
takes her place as the only woman
to sit around the continents table.
This is signal success for the in
experienced ruler of Al years ago
who took charge of a nation where
monarchy was on the wane.
you Belong to Them
Wilhelmina got her first taste of
royal life when still a wee child.
Led to the palace balcony by her
mother, she looked down on sea
of subjects and asked, Mama, do
all those people belong to me?" Her
mother replied quietly, ''No, dear,
you belong to them"
Wilhelmina's father, William III,
was the son of a Russian princess.
Willful like all Romanoffs, he be-
came discouraged when he could
not conquer the indomitable spirit of
his Dutch subjects. Broken, he with
drew from active governmental par
ticipation and lived abroad many of
his later years. The dowager Queen
Emma retrieved much of the Or
ange popularity after his death, but
it was Wilhelmina's task to stem the
upsurge of revolution.

Mental State
Nav Affect Heart

Perhaps you notice that your heart
is beating very rapidly and when
you count your pulse or the heart
beats in the chest, you find that in
stead of being u to rs to the min
ute, the heart rate is "a or even
UP to 96. Instead of going to your
family physician you may go to an
other physician and he likewise finds
your heart rate high.
Further, when this physician takes
your blood pressure he finds that
this is also considerably above nor
NAL. He thereupon advises you to
return at another time. The sec
ond examination still shows high
pulse rate and high blood pressure.
An examination of your throat
shows normal tonsils and a recent
X-ray of your teeth shows no infec-
ton. An examination of chest shows
it to be normal, you are not consti-
pated but admit that your appetite
has been "off' lately.
AS the physician can find no rea-
son for your high blood pressure
or heart rate, the blood vessels not
being in hardened" condition, his
next question is likely to be, "have
you anything on your mind?" SIS
there any domestic problem that re-
quires to be settled?"
Conflict Is Present.
Now the problem, the difficulty,
the conflict" may be very much on
your mind and you may not realize
it because, while not settled, you
believe you have suppressed it.
Your physician will tell you that
Just as long as the conflict is present
or remains unsettled, your heart
rate and your blood pressure viii
be higher. Just as soon as the con-
flict is settled, then the heart rate
and blood pressure will come down
to normal or nearly to normal, I'M
til, of course, another worry, anxi-

Nature has been kind to you in
