soilbuiding crops, and they actually build their soil To unbiased observer, this is soil conserva- tion in fact
 Wouldn't it be well for the social order in general if all of little slower to believe that politics some other hidden motive the handspring behind movements that their face for the common good? One reason for government is that it alone in many instances, is capable of the effort necessary to carry out such programs for the interest of all does the program for the conservation Of our most precious heritage-the soil
 At the very moment partisans were calling the farm program "subterfuge," the ferocity of floods a grim warning that careful and long time plan for the care of soil and forests is m- perative
 It has too often been overlooked that one of the objectves of the old Agricultural Adjustment Act the conservation of soil resources Critics, in their eagerness to discredit the Administration, de- liberately subordnated entirely obscured this ob jective and the accomplishments under it. These critics have failed to give credit to the AAA for already having increased by more than twenty two millions the acreage of crop land devoted to the cul tivaton of erosion preventing and soil-conserving crops.
 There may be need for minor alterations in the farm program: for improvements, for admins tratve feXbility. But in view of the lesson of the floods and the dust storms, the necessity for the pro- gram should be taken for granted sound structure can be built with that premise starting point and if as indirect result of such plan there should be prevention of return of those burdensone surpluses that brought starvation prices for farm products, would not that give the program added value both for the American farmer and American industry?

Horoscope "The stars incline
 but do not compel'

This is an uncertain day ln the direction of the stars, according to astrology. Under this planetary gov ernment there may be a tendency towards vacillation and indirection of purpose
 Women are under an adverse rule of the stars which may be rather discouraging to their public interests. The month will close with better prospects in certain lines of business and professional activity.
 While this sway prevails man may be exceedingly critical of women and domestic happiness is pre- saged. Brothers are likely to be disagreeable toward. their sisters. Employers may find fault with their secretaries.
 There is sign said to encourage intrigue and deception, which is likely to bring about international misunderstanding. Women may be especially susceptible to the evil influences.
 Winds and dust storms are prog nosticated in certain regions where long winter weather has delayed crops. For the next few years ex- treme cold is to be expected in many states.
 Jupiter in Aries, which rules the head, is held responsible for fash ion changes which decree elabor- ate coiffures that include curls and puffs. Large hats are supposed to be a result of this influence.
 The unexpected is likely to hap pen. Human destiny has reached place of stupendous changes that will overturn established customs, shatter plans for the future and bring about marvellous results. While there will be an urge to- ward pleasure in the coming months the wise will conserve energies and resources. Prosperity must be coaxed if it is to continue for any length of time, astrologers warn.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of varied en- joyment. Financial affairs should be satisfactory. Frivolity will dom mate young people in many parts of the country.
 Children born on this day prob | ably will be gifted in a way that assures great activity all through life. Subjects of this sign are gen. erally leaders in whatever voca- tions they choose.
 Julia Ward Howe, author of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, ," was born on this day 1919. Others who have celebrated it as birth day include George Washington Doane, Protestant Episcopal Bish- op, 1799; Jay Gould, financier, 1836 Mrs. Amelia Boomer, reform CT, 1913

Automatic Landing
(NeW York TimeS)

Few of the passengers of airplane realize the responsibility thrown the pilot during the crucial moment of landing, especially at night or in fog Once he has picked up the radio beacon of an air port he must keep vigilant eye at least seven purely navigatona instruments which indicate air speed altitude rate of descent position relatively to the radio beam and the like Hence the research which has been conducted here and abroad during the last ten years to tighten the human task and make it possible to bring the plane down automatically. That the problem should at last have been solved, cording to dispatch from Chicago, is welcome news Safer air travel is the obvious end achieved
 Yet it would be a mistake to suppose that blind landing has at last been reduced to complete auto matcity Indeed it is doubtful if that goal will be achieved-whether it is desirable to achieve it. The gyroscopc robot becomes part of the the directional gyro compass and the artificial hori zon; the others must still be watched by the human eye.
 How little able to foreSee the needs of to- morrow when the inventors have their way! Just about generation ago the Wrights vaulted into the blue without any instruments at all-delghted at leaving the ground. Horoscopes and pendulums soon proposed to keep plane on an even keel in flight and thus to make flying less the virtuoso formance that it at the time. Altitude and speed meters early became necessities. But that some day instrument boards would present bewdering array of indicators that one pair of human eyes could not encompass them all and that artificial senses would have to be devised to aid pilot-the pioneers never imagined that. Yet it is all natural evolution. The airpane is becoming and more bird-lke And birds not the simplest mechanisms in the world

AIDING AMERICAN INDUSTRY

From all developments thus far it appears that those who jumped to the conclusion that the Admin istrations Soil Conservation Program is merely the old AAA in disguise have guessed wrong.
 In the first place. the program does not contemplate any minimum diversion of crop land from soil-depletng crops to soil conserving soil building crops
 Moreover, Secretary Wallace has announced that farmers shall be paid only if they actually divert their land from soil-depeting to soil-conserving

UNRESTRICTED DELEGATIONS

With the two big conventions but matter of days away, political interest appears to settle around the widely heralded uninstructed delegations. Par tculary is this true in Cleveland where contest for the nomination is in prospect. From all indications the first ballot at Philadelphia the gathering place of the Democrats on June 23 will go for Roosevelt. But things different in Cleveland where the badly split up Republican forces due to trot out their best There the uninstructed delegates expected to play the deciding roll.
 Some where in the dim forgotten past it was a theory that an uninstructed delegation meant the delegates would their best judgment and nomin- ate the candidate who would be most acceptable to most of the people But that idea has long ago been exploded, There delegates doubt who would, if given opportunity decide on candidates solely on their merits but, of course, those delegates are first timers and not well acquainted with convention procedure.
 In Cleveland it is going to be a different story, and the Plain Dealer of that city says it awaits the arrival of the G. O. P crowd June the lineup of uninstructed delegations bodes well for Governor Landon of Kansas, but that simply means the bosses usual will decide the candidate. Com mentng on the setup, the Plain Dealer says:
 Alfred M Landon appears at the moment
 the probable Cleveland nominee, though there
 plenty of possibilities ahead which might
 wreck his craft. If the Governor is named,
 however he will owe his not to Lam
 don-nstructed delegates but to the several
 hundred 'uninstructed" deegates-delegates
 unnstructed because the party bosses wanted
 them uninstructed.
 Thus the Presidential primary devised to
 curb the influence of party bosses, is made
 to play into the bosses hands Com
 paratively few of the nearly 600 delegates
 already chosen are actually instructed for
 Landon. The rest, comprising delegates
 claimed for Landon but uninstructed for him,
 will be voted at Cleveland the leaders of
 the party fit. At the moment they are
 expected to fit to vote them for the Kansas
 Governor.
 Obviously if the Presidential primary is
 to meet the hopes of those who devised
 it, there must be an end of the "uninstructed'
 delegation. Voters must express their real
 preference for President and Vice President
 and be restrained somehow from abdicating
 their authority.

20 YEARS AGO
 From The Empire
MAY 26, 1916.

Included in the platform adopt ed by the Democratic party which was in session at a Territorial convention was: We demand that Pinchotism be banished from the Territory" The paramount issue between the Democratic party on the one side and Delegate Wick ersham and the Republican party on the other, relates to the ques- tion of whether Alaska shall be served and Pinchotized, or thrown open to settlement and de- velopment. Also of much interest was the most urgent need felt for enlargement of the powers of the Alaska Legislature and the enact ment by law by Congress granting Alaska full Territorial form of gov ernment.
 On the ticket nominated at the Democratic convention was Dele gate to Congress, Charles A. Sulzer Attorney-General, George B, Grigs- by of Nome; and National Com mitteeman, Thomas J. Donohoe of Valdez.
