North Dakota Woman
Can't Have Toothache

Minneapolis. Apr. 90 -AP 49,
Miss Irma Lien, q, OF Regent n.
D.. is that rare individual you've
often hear about-one in a mil
lion.
She gained that distinction be-
cause she can't have a toothache.
Her teeth, normal in every other
respect, have no nerves. No ner-
yes. no toothache.
DR.. William F. Lssby. dean Of
the University OF Minnesota
School Of Dentistry, said cases like
Miss Liens are not unheard OF
but are very rare. Although no
records OF "nerveless' teeth are
available, so far as Dr. Lasby
knows, he estimated her case was
one in a million.
Miss Liens unusual case came
to light recently when she went
to a dentist to have her teeth look
ed after. Use Of a drill on a few
small decayed spots brought no
signs OF discomfort and an x-ray
disclosed the young woman's
teeth do not have nerve canals,
but are solid formations although
similar in every other way 70 nor

Jesse Jones Makes Forecast
at Meeting Of U. S.
Commerce Group
SAYS DEBT MAY SAFELY
TOTAL ANNUAL INCOME
Cost of Maintaining Army,
Navy Expected to Mount
in Next Few Years

Washington, Apr. e9-AP'-Jesse
Jones forecast today that the ma
tional debt would mount 10 at least
10000. 000, 900. and declared I'VE
have not yet made any sacrifices"
But they are in store for us,
plenty OF them the Secretary OF
Commerce added In an address pre-
pared for the annual convention OF
the United States Chamber of Com
merce.
"A few months ago we were wor-
rying about whether we could az.
ford to increase government Dor
rowing authority above $4,000. 000,.
000." Jones recalled. 1T seems
probable now that 1t will grow to
at least double that amount, even
allowing for paying as much OF this
extraordinary cost as our economy
can stand from current taxes.
Frankly, II has never occurred
TO me that we could not carry a ma.
tional debt equal 10 years In
come. and rs we build the national
income we can carry more debt.
But whatever amount we have
TO borrow. we must commence to
pay back the day the emergency is
over"
The Cabinet official declared
that much more" money will be
appropriated for national defense
within the next four years, and
pointed out that the cost OF main.
tanning the Army and Navy will
mount as the organizations are ex-
banded.
I'VE are just now beginning to
have some idea" he said, "of what
all this is going to cost-but only
a rough idea, because 1t will cost
more than we now think"
At another point in his address,
the Texan cited an estimate that
"one-fourth Of the normal man.
power working hours will be re-
quired to produce and manufacture
things necessary TO the defense
program.
That means" he said. that one
hour out OF every four must be
taken from the production and man
ufacture OF things we use in our
normal everyday life. That means
that we will either have TO get
along with fewer OF the things to
which we are accustomed and
which we take for granted, or we
must superimpose on our normal
economy % per cent increase in
our productive capacity-25 per
cent more work hours.

Many Mines Will
be Operated
Within Day

(By International News Service)
Washington, Apr. % -INS--The
29-dsy-old soft coal stoppage,
which had threatened TO slowly
stall many vital national defense
industries, ended today after
southern operators clpitulated
without equivocation" to presi-
dent Roosevelt's proposal for a
truce with Jonn L. Lewis United
Mine Workers Union.
Since northern operators already
were in. agreement with Lewis,
the action of the southern group
brought labor peace to the coal
mines when hopes for a settlement
seemed darkest. Lewis also ad-
vised the White House that he
would accept the truce. Charles
F. O'Neill, spokesman for the
northern group, gaid that the cap
itulation means that We can all
go back to work."
Many mines, which had been
shut down since April /, were ex-
pected to be back in operation
within "a hours, others within As
hours so that full mining opera
tions were to be resumed by
Thursday morning.
End Dramatic
End of the stoppage came with
dramatic suddenness. During the
night, the southern operators,
through their chairman l.. Eber-
sole Gaines, wired President
Roosevelt:
THE undersigned representing
the Is southern districts which
have not yet negotiated a wage
agreement accept your proposal
without equivocation. We are
ready to resume work immediate
ly."
1t meant that 100000 idle miners
could get back to their jobs OF
digging coal.
Under the Presidents proposal,
the southern operators will grant
miners a 81 a day wage increase
TO a $3.50 a day rate, and then
negotiate with Lewis union for a
demand for 40 cents more. Lewis
has demanded that the south grant
81 a day, the same wage that
northern operators have agreed to
pay but the south has been stead
