THE NEWS FROM Uses "Cornfield" -English for New History of State Magic Potato as Good Luck Charm Houston. Tex May 16 (LP) Pres ident Hoover, according to William N. Doak. secretary of labor, won't need magic potato to returned to the White Howe in 19C2.

Which is something, according to the secretary, since a maple potato "brings all kinds of Rocd luck." stops rheumatism, and is "even good for neuresthenia," especially if it happens to be an IrLh potato grown flat and shiny from use. such as Doak himself always carries. The labor secretary now has a double assurance for the future. Yesterday the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, in convention liro, reelected him editor of the brotherhood's publication and his magic potato is standing up in grand shape. Doak first produced the potato publicly last night, as he with a group of trainmen in a hotel lobby here, discussing such matters as illnesses, presidential campaigns, democratic donkeys, and magic potatoes.

As a pause came in the convention, the secretary reached in his hip pocket, and pulled out the potato, worn and shiny from long service. "It stopped the rheumatism," ho said, and, after looking at the potato gently and respectfully, replaced It In his pocket. "It stopped mine, too," said a fellow trainman, and he drew from his pocket a spud sufficiently like Doak's to have been its twin. "The potato brings all kind of good luck." the labor chief assert- d. He turned to his interviewer.

eyed him sympathetically, and asked: "Don't you carry something around for good luck?" "The spud's even good for neures thenia," said the trainman solemnly. "Tea, for neuresthenia, too," ech oed Doak. "Does it have to be a rpud?" the questioner asked. "Wouldn't a carrot do as well?" "I've never tried a carrot." the secretary said, doubtfully. What about the democratic don key, someone asked.

What kind of luck would it have in the next race? "The same that It had in 132S." said Doak, putting his hand in his pocket to touch the potato again. And Hoover, would he need a spud in 1932? Not in the secretary a opinion, he replied. "If I were betting rd put my money on him," he added. "He can have the White House again if he wants to potato or no potato."
