PHILOSOPHICAL POET
In the radical young poet,
Shelley, already expelled from
Oxford College for atheistic
expression, Goodwin was to dis
cover an ardent advocate and
champion.
IT Am My Youth" dramatizes
their first meeting in William
Godwin'S drawing room Tin
which all of the action Of the
Play occurs) and the result OF
the Goodwin theories and design
for living when applied to the
nterateur'S family.
The arrival OF the poet Shell
ley and his wife, Harriet, and
their sustained visit, trans
formed the we'll hammered and
gentle daughters of brilliant
Goodwin into outspoken and
brazen disciples of free love.
"POLITICAL JUSTICE"
In Godwin's books they found
justification for the belief that
marriage was the most odious
Of monopolies." Reason enough
for Shelley to openly discard
his wife, carry on an Illicit af-
fair with Mary Wollstonecraft
Goodwin.
A younger daughter. Claire,

sionable Lord Byron. captured
his fancy, departed the house
hold to live with the poet, re-
gardless of conventions.
These domestic disturbances
were sufficient to cause emo
tional eruptions and jealousies
in Mary Jane Goodwin, and she
ended her mismated union
with the bookseller by precip-
itate desertion. Not until she
had compelled Goodwin to reveal
the true parentage Of his IA
vorite foster daughter, Fanny
Goodwin, and that unhappy girl
had found comfort in self de-
struction.
When Shelley returns from
France to urge Philosopher God

of reforming mankind, he finds

writer, ready to tear up his
treastises, admitting the COM
plete failure of revolutionary
reasoning in his own household.

HIGH ROAD TO ASIA

That greatest old Mongol of them all-Genghis Khan-probably would look with some amazement if he were around today to the march of progress which is making his famous Asia a key point on the traffic lines of the world Vigorous old Genghis who nearer to conquerng the entire world than any other man was the sort though, imagine who would have welcomed and. possibilities in High Road to Asia by which the International Highway is now sometimes referred to Outside
 The editor of the Lakewood Log a community paper in Tacoma visions that perhaps in the next Is years the International Highway will be the High Road to Asia Says he:
 Already nearly half of this vast road is built north of Vancouver The remaining half will cost about Sl500000O for good gravel road. It is not incon- ceivable that with Alaska busy extending her high ways to follow her inland routes. that one day this vast road will reach down through north central Alaska to the Boring Strait. Only a 27-mile jump via ferry to the mainland of Asia Siberia!
 Tt is not inconceivable that with the tremendous interest in air routes between America and the Orient one of which will go via Fairbanks, that highways will quickly link up the aerial bases on these routes
 One day, perhaps IS years hence the Alaska Highway will be the High Road to Asia! Imagine driving to pay call Stalin who probably will be exled safely in Siberia by that time and having a nice chat and a swizze of vodka with the old warlsl"
 The High Road to Asia is far from as visionary as the Tacoma editor would humorousy imply ferry Boring Strait is not an impossbility but rather may be an eventuality. The International Highway is on the way. It may be international in larger way than think of it. and connect Europe and Asia with the North American continent
 The immediate satisfaction to most of us how ever is that Congress has passed measure giving the President power to appoint highway commission to negotiate with Canada and Canada has indicated that it is willing to negotiate the goal ex- tending the road north from Hazeton

This is an unimportant day in planetary direction, according to as- trology. Adverse aspects are active but not dominant.
 Because the influence of world chaos will be felt in the United States, affecting the nerves and de- pressing the mind, the utmost self discipline is recommended. A posi- tive optimistic outlook should be cul- tivated.
 Neptune is in an aspect supposed to encourage intrigue and plotting Deception may be prevalent among many groups in the United States. Glass consciousness will be aroused by subversive methods.
 Disappointment may be experi- enced in social affairs today when there may be apathy among guests. Girls need not count upon admir- ing suitors.
 A threat to the power of dicta- tor is read in the stars. Germany is to be prosperous through munitions manufactures. The health of high official may be undermined.
 Girls may find this a date when pleasant expectations are unful- filled. Young men may reveal their crease our vocabulary by mastering selfishness.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of small an- xietieS and new responsibilities. Both men and women should be careful to subordinate emotions to common sense.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be exceedingly clever in finding their right places in life. Subjects of this sign usually are lucky.
