Benefic aspects rule today, ac-
cording to astrology The planetary
government encourages calm reflec-
ton and serious resolutions. The
clergy will be well directed
While in certain faiths there may
be an inclination to ignore economic
and political issues and to concen-
trate upon religious teachings, as
trologers foretell increasing interest
in church groups in public contro-
verSieS.
The stars presage good response
to letters containing requests. Lovers
who offer hands and hearts by post
may expect acceptance.
Reassuring news regarding inter-
national conflicts are forecast for
today
This is favorable sway for ro-
nance and the spring sutton may be
most impatient to assure a mar
riage date. There will be an extra
ordinary increase in the number of
post Easter weddings. .As
Artists and musicians should
prosper. There will be demand for
their services which encourages the
best attainments.
Severe storms, and in many places
earthquakes, are indicated. Floods
will again emphasize the need of
wise control and conservation of
natural resources.
Fashion will interest men as well
as women this season. Uniforms will
be worn by many who prefer civilian
attire. Training camps will be busy
through the summer.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of fair pros
perity, but temptation to change
business interests or financial man
ayers should be ignored.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be of serious nature and
bright intellect. The subjects of this
sign of Aries may be sensitive
and impressionable, but of even
disposition and systematic habits.

culturally and otherwise to weaken this partnership
OF late intensive Nazi propaganda has been accom-
panied by visits of warshps to Lisbon and submarines

sistance to Franco has implied favors to either
Germany or Italy London has understood this He
has been motivated in his policy by Portugal detesta
ton of Bolshevism and Communism. Citizens of the
Soviet Union not welcomed in Portugal nor in any
of her colonies.
Strategically Portugal is today of greater impor
lance than ever before. Her space on the map is
slight but she still ranks fourth in extent of empire
Her possessions range from the Azores to rich Timor
in the Far East and her colonial interests largely
parallel many of those of Great Britain, it inevi
table that she should cling fast to her ancient ally
To Britain this alliance means much. The great har-
Dor of Lisbon close to Gibraltar, is available only
to British ships in time of war; base of great sig

Islands with their naval base and airport possibilities

The public that would sob between laughs at The
Kids pictures would also gloat over the size of his
earnings. That Jackie Coogan dragging down

We had the luxury of weeping over his misfortunes
and the inner JOY of knowing he wasn't suffering,
really-he was making plenty. 1t was something to

The Indian And The Liquor Question

started throughout the land and the
money spent in an attempt to en-
force prohibition is just so much
money wasted. The Indian Office
John Collier, himself, before the
Subcommittee of the Committee on
Appropriations, 18th Congress, page
6O, OF the report, says in brief, 1.-The
present condition is bad" "In my
judgment 80 it would be better to
have no prohibition in the mixed
Indian-white areas at least, and
then we would not have the Indian
feeling inferior and Inundated and
attempting to assert his personality
by beating the law" In other words,
an Indian and a taxpayer in order
to get a bottle of beer, for instance,
must sneak around like a thief in
the night in order to get it, and he
does get it regardless of all that is
said and done.
We hear the cry that if the In
dian were given free access to IL
quor that pandemonium would
reign and all would wind up in a
drunken debauch. To this l disa-
gree. 1t SO happens that l was on the
west coast, Seattle, to be exact,
when liquor legally returned.
Drunken orgies among Indians were
nothing compared to what the
white, black and yellow races did
in Seattle and other west coast
points for the first two or three
months, and then all settled down
to normalcy-the novelty wore off
and the same will apply to the In
dian. He will experience a wild
time for awhile eventually getting
back to normal. He can get it pro-
viding he has the price
l fail to see the logic or reasoning
whereby all the races under the
sun are given the privilege of using
liquors and the Indian is barred
simply because he is an Indian. In
other words, Congress and other
well intentioned people are trying
to instill among the Indians the idea
of an inferiority complex which is
contrary to all lines of reasoning.
