front for the test which either will
make him immortal or turn
storm of public criticism in his
direction.
This lunation will fall in a sec
ton of the horoscope of France,
Germany, England and Austria,
which will mark the passing of
men of prominence in the affairs
of state.
Japan will, in all probability,
try the patience of the great bear
who walks like a man, too far,
which will mark the doom of the
plans for the subjugation of
China. War clouds already are
in the air. All Europe is in a
state of high tension. It's a mat
ter of public knowledge that
France is almost in a state of hys-
terra as a result Of Hitler's pro-
gram for enlarging the army be-
yond all peace-time regulation :.
Imagine a vast quantity of gun
powder sprinkled all over Europe
and Asia; all that is needed to
touch it off is a lighted match. In
the minds of more than mine in
the astrological world, it is be-
lieved that this Jan. Is lunation
will provide the touch-off which
could plunge the world into the
chaos of war. bloodshed and revo-
luton.
I would like to state for the
benefit Of those self-styled critics
who will endeavor to class this
prediction as the work of hum
bug, that prominent American
aStrologer once said that there is
no greater hindrance to progress
than that process of condemning
a thing prior to its Investigation.

Here's o. Prediction

BY W. Glenn Henson and Chris NicoIoff.
The moon makes a conjunction
with the sun Jan. Is, in the twen-
ty-fourth degree of the zodiacal
sign Capricorn, in opposition to
the new discovered member Of
the solar system. Pluto, 80 degrees
from the ponderous planet Jupi-
ter; also 90 degrees from the
planet Uranus. This is what is
known as Cardinal Cross in as
trology, and the fact that the new
moon falls on one of the angles of
this Cardinal Cross is very omin-
Gus.
The world will be subject to
set Of conditions never paralleled
in history Since these planets
are positied in Cardinal signs
whose key word is Activity" we
can be sure to see some fire
works about Jan. IA or Is regard
ing foreign relations.
To the reader, this is absolutely
meaningless. Speaking in the YER
nacular of the masses, just so
much "hooey," but to an aStrologer
of any ability, it forecasts grave
situation in this country and every
other country of Importance in
Europe. This lunation is perhaps
one of the most disastrous regard
ing world conditions, as a whole,
than any which has happened
since that eventful year of strife
and bloodshed, 1914.
The United States will not be-
come involved in any war with
foreign power at this time. How
ever, it will strain the abilities of
President Roosevelt and his COL
leagues to the utmost and will
mark time when all of his in
genuity will be brought to the

Reading your article in Mondays
Times, Should Mrs. Roosevelt Be
Like That?" would like to answer.
1t shows she at least has something
else on her mind than pink teas.
AS first lady of this country, she
is doing just as she should, looking
after the unfortunate ones. In times
like this, we should forget the old
traditions and try and help one an
other. She is showing what is sup
posed to stand for democracy. Per-
sonally, I am great admirer Of
Mrs. Roosevelt's, and only hope she
continues doing the good work she
has started.
BY Charles Hooper.
American ideals are so different
from those Of Soviet Russia that the
Democratic government has made
a very grave mistake recognizing
Russia.
Few realize that the root Of Com
munism is not humility, as many
think, but pride. A Communist is
one who hates to serve, to be under
any one. He wants all persons to
be on level, SO that he can feel
himself, if not superior to others,
at least not inferior to others. He
acknowledges no one or nothing to
be above him except an imperSonal
state.
Though Communists deny God.

By An Unemployed Wife.
1 am a Times reader and have
been for twenty-one years. I hard
ly know how to explain, but I would
like to make the trustee understand.
Every Friday I have to go to Fl
North Senate avenue to order my
groceries and I have been insulted
highly twice by men at the age of
SO to IS who stand behind me in
line. They should put women in
one line and men in the other.
I never have complained before
about anything.

something about these men and
hope a change is made by next Fri

Last night I witnessed the four
Marx brothers latest production,
Duck Soup" I must say that as
I left the theater I felt that I had
just paid a visit to the insane
asylum. If those birds are funny,
so is the little boy in the next block
who is about two-thirds short of
being all there.
Oh, for the hour of Charlie Chap
lin, Harold Lloyd or even John
Bunny. I don't believe I wholly
am devoid of a sense of humor, or
I could not have enjoyed many
other comedians. If you have seen
the picture in question, please tell
me one clever thing in the scene
by the popcorn stand where two of
the brothers and one other actor
keep exchanging hats for ten min
utes. It is pure, unadulterated
Stiffness. Any one who really en-
joys that sort of thing should be
psycho-a analysed. He is lucky he
doesn't live in Germany.
Chaplin is a master comedian
and he can act a perfect fool. But
there is an idea behind everything
he does, and he is clever in do
ing it.
If the Marx brothers are funny,
Adolf Hitler is the Jews Santa
Claus, Mussolini is the storE's worst
enemy Franklin D. Roosevelt is
champion of rugged individualism,
and I am q wooden Indian.

Now that militant youth is being
called to take active part in political
matters, it will have a tendency to
cause people to have confidence in
all governmental affairs, for surely
they know our college youths who
were graduated in the several years
past, are the best minds in the his
tory Of the world. It must be so, for
we are taught to believe it.
If education makes for civiliza-
ton and progress and our schools
turn out superior trained young men
and women, it is best that they are
called to lead us while at their best.
Orators in debating classes are so
far ahead of anything offered by
either of the old political parties,
there is no comparison. The young
set knows the answers to our troubles
and will brush aside our grief like
they have always done when the
burden gets top heavy and age
causes leaders to falter Youth al
ways has shouldered the load and
went forward smiling. Militant
youth is your leader from now on.
1t means peace. 1t means con-
fidence. 1t means prosperity. It
means the solving Of our problems.
Hail militant youth.

forgotten valuable might lurk in Their
depths. That hope, standing out
brightly against the background oi
a rainy morning with two rejection
slips in the mail, had sent Dennis
up to the attic.
He hauled an old leather. trunk
into the light of a small dormer
window and unfaStened the straps that
time had almost welded into the
buckles. The odor of the nineteenth
century rose to his nostrils. Gosh
what a collection to store away. A
pair of faded tapestry curtains, photo
graphs in red plush frames, tam
BOURNE decorated with pansies pains
takingly done in oils, garments law
ishly covered with jet, and at the
bottom of the trunk heavy roll OF
foolscap, tied with faded blue ribbon
Sitting on the dusty floor, Dennis
united the ribbon, which split with
age as his fingers fumbled with the
knot. 1t was manuscript, written
on foolscap in his mothers precise,
angular hand.
"Now, who?" he asked aloud. would
have suspected mother of dabblng
in the universal folly?" He cast an
indulgent eye over the neatly written
paragraphs. His mouth dropped open
a little with surprise as he read.
He sat there, hunched like an In
dian, turning page after page. He
had stepped back into the gay COS
and was living and loving with people
whose blood ran swiftly in spite Of
the cramping restraints of their vol
luminous clothing.
Gosh" he muttered, "how did she
do it? And why in heck did she
never publish it? Got cold feet, I'll
bet"
He read on, appraisingly, with a
growing purpose in his mind.
whats the use of having a pub
Usher for an uncle" he reflected, 'if
I can't do something with this? The
old boy thinks I'm just one of those
things that happen, but. this may
jar him awake. Now, shall 1 bring
it up to date or type it out as it
is? The COS are in fashion now, even
in the pictures. Film rights . oh,
boy! 1t isn't stealing the dear
old lady would have wanted me to
have it."
Three hundred sheets Of bond, two
Of carbon, one typewriter ribbon. Will
there be anything else?"
The girl at the stationery counter
looked up with eyes of such melting
brown depth that Dennis Bradshaw
nearly suggested date. He just
saved himself In time, remembering
that he had business that evening
and every evening.

Think again." the publisher said,
smiling like a tired seer. The gaze
