Immediately went into q tail spin

crushed q car that was immedi-

After the accumulated excite

the hiccups found that hts trouble
had been entirely relieved, and
the doctor was cheated out Of q

the car owner. but q vast relief
for the patient. Usually we do not
look to use such extreme and ex-
penSive treatment.
Hiccough Is described as q sut-

Cause for Gossip

A woman who has always had q
stable collection of men friends
may be devoted to her husband
and yet. in her fashion be devoted
to those men who have come and
gone In her life, contributing many
q pleasant hour, many gay little
dinner, and many an interchange
of ideas. She isn't now, and never
was. In love with any Of them:
whether they were in love with her
well. that doesn't matter now.
But she does regard them as old
friends and does resent having to
leave them behind. Is 1t necessary?
The answer to that question de-
ponds Of course on the type Of hus-
band she has and on how much
confidence he has in his wife's
loyalty. II she asks one OF her old
friends to drop in for a cup OF tea
or to meet her husband. It's
naturally up to her husband to play
the host. Whether he sits 1t out
and bears with one Of those will
you ever forget 1.-The night? SEES
sions or whether he invents az eX-
cuse for absenting himself IS p
matter for him to decide.
In what now passes for society.
nothing is thought Of a married
woman lunching or having tea With
q man, but there are communities
in which this sort Of thing Is re-
garded with distaste or suspicion.
So one has. presumably. to govern
ones self accordingly. But when an
understanding husband says. 90
ahead. Have lunch with old George
II you want to. but what on earth
you can see in him is beyond me-"
the wife is not doing wrong In fiav-
ing q coy chat. providing, OF
course, old George understands
exactly what she's about and d3es
not take advantage Of her hIs-
bands good nature. Obviously The
old friend Is more flattered when
friend husband shows signs OF be-
ing jealous of him. No man likes to
be classified as harmless, but when
the husband is sophisticated enough
to accept him as q has-been ana
therefore not dangerous, all he can
do is to make the best Of the situa-
ton.

New President Of
Chile FavOrS
The Allies
BY TALBOT LAKE

THE election IN Chile has put
1 Juan Antonio Rios in the presi-
dency. which is distinct advan-
tage for the United States. Rios de-
cisive victory over Gen. Carlos
Ibanez, who was the rightiSt and
pro-Axis candidate, Is very tmpor-
tant. All his life Rios has been in
Chilean politics and always on the
left side. He came in on Popular
Front ticket composed Of the Rad
ical party. which he heads. the So
cialists, Democrats and Commu-
nists. The election was required by
the death of President Pedro
Aguirre Cerda, who died last No
vember.
Rios tried for the Presidency OF
Chile in 1888, when he ran on the
Radical party ticket. He has been
the president of that party since
1887, and headed the Popular Front
in 1898. The new President Is a
tall, powerfully-built man, with
slightly slanting eyes. graying hair.
q booming voice. and is a dynamic
speaker. His wife Is the former
Marta Ide. and there are three
sons. Carlos. Fernando and Juan.
Canete, q small mining town, Is
his birthplace. His career in politics
extends over thirty years. He
trained for the law. graduating
from the faculty Of law Of the Uni
versity Of Conception IN 1914. For
q short time, he was the secretary
Of the court In the small town OF
Lebu: then he practiced for short
time. and later on was elected Dep
uty for Arauco In 1923.
Arauco. Malleco and Cautin ran
him successfully for Senator on the
Radical ticket in 1880. In 1881,
there was q bloody revolt against
President Carlos Ibanez. who was
deposed. For this. he was almost
thrown out of the party. but he
stuck to his guns.
In 1882, Carlos Davila had an ex-
citing To-day regime. In which
Rios became the Minister OF the
Interior. He emerged from this ex-
perience with the reputation Of
being q strong man." Toward the
end Of this period Rios served for
q short time as Minister of Justice.
His old home grounds of AraucO
sent him back as Deputy IN 1882, q
Job he held through 1887. when he
became head Of the Radical party.
