 Germany may proceed along it's present lines for several months. Adolf Hitler may be more anxious for peace than high officers of the NaZi army.

Failure of colonization plans in Abyssinia will undermine the Fascist regime, Revolutionary ac- tivities are indicated.
 Japan to Suffer
 Japan will suffer through the political ascendancy of the military party While the undeclared war with China meets with temporary success there will be trouble through the unrest of the people of Japan and the extension of Communistic propaganda, Earth quakes and high winds will add to troubles in 1888. Warning is given that too much elation over good luck with arms may lead to ultimate defeat of the Nip ponese Empire.
 China is under rule of the stars which indicates notification of its government and stub born resistance to invasion. Famine and disease will add to the prob- lems of the people. but there may be help from many foreign sources. The rise of great national leader is foretold.
 Russia will make steady progress in 1888 for Jupiter will be in the ruling sign Aquarius. The position of Mars indicates heavy expendi- lures for armaments and m n y economic difficulties. Unrest among the people is presaged, bes there will be ruthless suppression of all toward relief or inde- pendence of the dictator. An im- portant pact with a foreign power is forecast The stars seem to warn of some sort of conflict be- fore the end of the year.

Tom Heinrich will do all right.
 The young outfielder, who talked Judge Landis into declaring him a free agent and then sold himself to the New York Yankees for around $20,000, is the type of fellow who has the courage to fight for himself. If he shows the same fight on the ball field he is likely to prove a bargain at any price.
 Heinrich got the idea that the Cleveland Indians were covering him up after reading a magazine article by Billy Evans, former Cleveland official. He had played with Evansville, O., and New Or leans, both Cleveland farms, and then had been sold to the Brewers with Ralph Winegarner for $7,500. He was a sensation with Milwaukee in spring exhibition games. He ap- pealed to Judge Landis, insisting his contract rights were being vio- lated The judge agreed. deciding Cleveland officials had transferred him from New Orleans to Milwaukee to prevent his advancement to the majors.
 All of this has marked Henrich From now on his every move will be closely watched If he makes good, many other players now languish-

Babe Herman is one ball-player who always has collected extremely well for his services. Year after year Babe has d5manded-and re- ceived-big money. largely because of his ability to hit. As a fielder, he left much to be desired. All one could say about his base-run- ming was that it was extremely funny. His specially was stealing base already occupied by team mate.
 Herman started with Brooklyn, where he played six years. The Dod- gers sold him to Cincinnati at the end of the 1881 season. He was scld to the Chicago Cubs where he toiled without success and then was traded to Pittsburgh with Guy Bush. Pittsburgh held on to the Babe for only a few months and tuned him back to Cincinnati for the waiver price.
 This spring Babe staged another holdout so the Reds asked waivers on him. When all the National League teams passed up Herman Detroit purchased him. The odd thing is this: the Tigers tried out Herman 16 years ago, decided he would never be a big leaguer.

DR.. Walter Dandy, brain special

Carl Rand, DR.. Gabriel Segall and

In the space of 20 years, Ger
Shwin rose from a $15-a-week

music. Last year his income from
film work alone was more than
$3.50, 900, while his income from
royalties from his song hits, which
were selling in the millions, has
not been estimated.
He was born in Brooklyn, Sep
TENDER 26, 1898. He became In
tereSted in music at the age OF 10,
and strained his parents modest
income by taking piano lessons at
so cents each.
He left high school and took
jobs piano pounding" in various
New York music halls. Later he
became accompanist for such we'll
known Soloists as Louise Dresser
and Nora Bayes. He composed a
musical comedy when he was 10
and wrote scores for not George
White scandals. It was until 1923,
however, that the young composer
gained worldwide recognition. It
was then that Paul Whiteman
brought Rhapsody in Blue" to
the public and the song made
musical history.
