Horoscope "The stars incline
 but do not cOmpeF'
FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 1886.

FRIDAY, JUNE F, 1856.
 According to astrology this is a day of sinister omens. Malefic aspects rule strongly from early morning until evening
 Under this planetary government there is need to fight depressing thoughts and to prevent a sense of Encouragement which interferes with efficiency in office or shop.
 Women should be especially eau tious today, for fatigue and even ill., ness may result from mere routine exertions. Warning is given that the summer will bring many heat prostrations.
 This is an unfavorable rule for commercial projects of many sorts. Merchants should be exceedingly careful in replenishing their stocks of goods, for surprising events will bring about unexpected business conditions.
 Men who are leaders in public affairs now come under a direction of the stars that is most perplex- ing, for friends will become enc mics and there will be antagonism where formerly there was loyalty.
 The evening of this day may be less unpleasant than previous hours, but it may bring disappointments, especially for young men who count on winning appreciation from girls whom they entertain at dinners or dances.
 College students are likely to dis cover that their years records are not altogether satisfactory to the home folks and disillusioning incl dents may be expected after yaca- tions begin.
 The stars encourage a pugnacious spirit among men and secret feuds among women. Organizations of every sort will breed serious con- flicts of opinion.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year offering cer- tain obstacles that may retard pro- gress, but they have the promise of good luck which issues from mis- fortunes.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be of mild and kindly dis positions. Subjects of this sign us- ually are intellectual and modest but able to succeed.
 Thomas J. Walsh, late United States Senator, was born on this day 1869. Others who have cele- brated it as a birthday include Charles L. McNary, United States Senator, 1874; Charles Kingsley, clergyman and novelist, 1819

No More Spinach
(New York Herald Tribune

(New York Herald Tribune)
 Haters of the spinach tyranny will welcome Dr. Clifford Sweets address to the Kansas City meeting of the American Medical Association saying that vegetable is good another, even for growing children. Spinach is dethroned. Who the new king of diet is to be does not clearly appear perhaps kind of soviet of all the vegetables that happen to be available to be liked Nor is Dr. Sweets talk the first sign that the pendulum of opinion about diet making another rapid swing, although most experts may not approve its swinging quite so far as Dr. Sweet would have it go Perhaps the fact that he practices in sunny Oakland it's market full of year-round vege tables, has something to do with his rejection of King Spinach, almost the only kind of edible green leaves that Eastern winter markets afford
 First vogue of spinach among health experts rested on supposed pentitude of iron. Next knowledge of it's vitamns Now the talk is of calcium and other needed mineral salts Only the theory seems to have been in any important degree delu- sion but neither vitamins minerals make spinach true necessity. Russian hotels now for few kopeks small doses of concentrated vitamns helping to replace shortage of vitamn-rich vegetables. It possible too to swallow regular supplies of mineral salts. So far mere vtamins minerals are con- cerned, neither spinach anything else really necessary. Deficiencies be made up by few pills Mere needed bulk also has been supplied at least expermentally by daily dishes of shredded filter paper.
 Yet King Spinach and his retinue of leafy vege- tables still have supporters Only few years ago even the vitaminS were unknown but thoughtful men always have known that eating green leaves helps health. No less parsonage that the Emperor Augus- tus heightened his life by learning this bit of lore. Nebuchadnezzar may have been than his critics thought when they saw him eating grass. Known vtamins and known minerals aside, there is good evidence that something in fresh green leaves full Some day we predict plant chemistry will catch up with this bit of everyday knowledge find out what this undiscovered something is and per- haps bring spinach and its leafy brethren back to power.

THE DEFEATIST NOTE AT
 CLEVELAND

The first outright defeatist note to come out of the Cleveland convention sounded yesterday when the old veteran, Congressman Bertrand H. Shell of New York, House minority leader, warned the Re- pubcans against the dead store of meaningless poli- tca phrases and empty promises that would defeat in November"
 Coming it did on the heels of the keynote speech by Senator Frederick Steiwer of Oregon who dug up all the phrases the antNew Dealers have been using for the past year more it gave definite indication that all is not well at Cleveland within the Re- publican party lines.
 Representative Shell is a shrewd old politician He's been in the political ring potent figure for great many years. and it is probable that he saw the utterances of the Keynoter a rehash of the Liberty League charges of last winter. And he is aware that Roosevelt stock took decided boom right after Al Smith took walk under the colors of the money barons of the Liberty League.
 He probably found the words of Senator Steiwer little tre, when the latter shouted "our purpose here is not only to adopt platform and nominate Republican President but we have deeper, thorough y American purpose to start a drive to replace the self-styled New Deal with American Deal" The old Congressman may well have sighed a little in despair he heard the Keynoter declare the Grand

 And why shouldn't he? Admission that the hun gry must be fed coming from party that consistently and loudly has cried against the expenditure public money to feed the needy because it would raise taxes and throw the budget out of balance?
 Small wonder that MT. Shell referred to the dead store of meaningless political phrases" after he had listened to the temporary chairman tell OOO persons that the New Deal "retarding recovery" The Congressman probably has been reading the fnan- cial pages and knows that business its highest level since 1929, and realized that there some thing impotent and empty about a charge of the Roosevelt policies retarding recovery
 For example the New York Times on May IT an- nounced: The Times weekly index of business ac- tvity has moved up for the week ended May to the estimated normal of 100 the first time it has been there since the week ended May B. l930" The previous day Business Week reported the first quarter net earnings for the first 362 American industrial porations to report showed gains 43 per cent over the first quarter of 1885

FISHERMEN ARE
 ASKED TO HELP
 MAKE INDUSTRY
All Employees Requested to Live Up to Ger
 tain Rules

The income of Alaska fishermen depends not on the amount of sal- mon sold to the cannery, but on the amount of the packed product bought by American housewives, says Phil Green, President of the Purse Seine Boat Owners Associa- tion. in Seattle
 The fisherman may think his money comes from the packer, but the packer has to get the funds to pay fishermen and cannery help Joy selling the product to consum- |ers," Green declared The packer can only keep on selling canned salmon to American women if its high quality is rigidly maintained Poor fish in the can loses custom CTS, and threatens the. life of the industry already attacked by the steadily increasing sale of cheap varieties of other fish.
 Quality Food
 Tt is up to everyone connected with the salmon business, fisher men, tender crews, gill netters, can- nery workers and packers, to do everything possible to keep Alaska canned salmon premium quality food. This is the only way to pro-

tect a steady market for our chief natural resource.
 Fishermen and boat crews can do their part to stabilize the mar ket and their future employment by taking every precaution to make certain that the fish are delivered to the cannery fresh and sweet If the cannery receives fresh fish in good condition promptly after catching. the canned product will be high quality. The purchaser will be satisfied, and will buy canned salmon more often.
 Delivered Daily
 Here is what my crew does to make sure our part is taken care of: Our first ironclad rule is to deliver the fish every day no mat ter how small the catch is. We make sure that the skin of the hold is tight, then we thoroughly clean the boat after each delivery Lots of water is used with plenty of pressure, and the hold-especially the corners thoroughly scrubbed with stiff brush or broom. A good securing of the boats after every delivery of fish will save losses which sometimes amount to considerable money because fisher men are not able to deliver firm fish in prime condition" Green said. T understand that many of the canneries are now supplying antiseptic solutions for spraying the hold after it has been washed"
 Keep Vessels Clean
 We also see. that the fish hold is clean and dry before more fish are picked up. If the bilge is not thoroughly clean, gases will be gen. erated that drift up and permeate the fish. Fish so affected absorb the odor, and an unappetizing lot of canned salmon is the result. Even if seizures do not follow, good

THE FALLACY OF VOTE BUYING

Can the American people be bought with their own money?" asked Ex-President Herbert Hoover in his address in Philadelphia last week He based his rhetorical question on his assertion that they see huge sums being rushed into politically important districts two jumps ahead of the election
 After due consideration of the record the Balti- more Evening Sun concludes that the answer to MT. Hoover is No, there being evidence that the Ameri- people cannot be thus purchased Various others also have recalled since the Philadelphia speech that it October 2, 1892, that the Reconstruction Finance Corporation suddenly announced its decision to approve appropriation of $62000000 for the San Francisco Bay bridge project October was 29 days two jumps "-ahead of the presidential election of that year Commenting on this the orthodox COP San Francisco Chronicle said:
 Tt was the Presidents intervention that secured action to overcome objection in the corporation and finally secured the undertaking"
 William H. Crocker, the Republican National Committeeman from California more emphatic:
 Nobody but MT Hoover and MT Mills could have put that over President Hoover has done this for
 But after this clear of huge sums being rushed into politically important districts two jumps ahead of election" California gave MT Roosevelt majority over MT Hoover of half million votes.

DEADLOCK DUE
IN MARITIME
WALK0UT
International News Service

A deadlocked siege between
labor and management in the
strike of approximately $4,000 sea-
men and maritime workers was
foreSeen today as strike leaders
estimated that more than 300
ships have been rendered idle by
actual walkouts and left-wing "Sit
down" strikes that have spread
from the Pacific Coast, along the
Gulf ports, into the harbor cities
of the Atlantic Seaboard.
Reports we're heard, meanwhile,
that Federal efforts to effect a
true e-thuS far unsuccessful
might take a new tack in the form
of governmental pressure upon
operators whose ships are partly
subsidized by the Government to-
accept a compromise settlement OF
the West Coast dispute.
Will Protect Property
Despite these reports, West
Coast shipowners evinced deter
mination to protect their prop
erty. With union workers now
engaged in moving periShables
from idle vessels, shippers served
notice that nonunion safety crews
would be hired to avert fire
hazard and property destruction
if the unions refuse to furnish
such crews from their own ranks.
In the New York area, the
strike has developed into a dog
fight between intraunion factions.
Leaders of the International Sea-
mems Union have branded the
walkout an outlaw" strike led
by Communists, and today were
working in cooperation with ship
owners to assure safe clearance
for idle vessels.
American Trader Sails

the left wing strikers in New
