HOROSCOPE
TUESDAY, NOV. 81

Although adverse aspects rule
the early hours today. the after
noon and evening are propitious
for decisions and activities.
Severe storms or accidents may
be expected this week and ship
ping comes under an evil portent.
The planetary government favors
heads Of government offices, adj
mirals Of the navy and army
generals.
Heart and Home: This Is a.
date for attending to practical
matters. Women should devote
themselves to household inter-
ests rather than to indulging
their personal desires. The stars
seem to smile on father rather
than on mother. Heavy re-
sponsibilities and anxieties will
make home joys doubly precious.
Business Affairs; Foodstuffs
will be greatly in demand. Prices
OF fruit and canned vegetables
viii rise and there will be diff
ficulty in distribution. The
citrus industry in the West and
South may have to limit the holi-
day trade.
National Issues: Owing TO the
spread of secret propaganda
there may be unjust criticism of
American policies and recent
legislation. Warning is given
that undercover organizations
will seek to tear down what the
democracies have built up. Radi-
cal views win be widely dis
seminated among college stu
dents. Muddled thinking win in
crease the nations danger.
international Affairs: Astrol-
ogers warn Of treschery. secret
plots and double-dealing. The
stars seem TO presage sudden
changes Of front on the part Of
our neighbors to the south. The
Orient will encounter increased
difficulties in commercial rela-
tons.
Persons whose birthdate II Is
have the augury Of a year OF
happiness. For the young ro-
nance Is indicated. There may
be a tendency To spend money
too generously.
Children born on this day
probably win be sensitive and
even timid. These subjects OF
scorpio may be strongly affect
ed by Sagittsrius for this reason
unusually versatile and talented.

SUGGEST NATIONAL
BOARD OF EXCHANGE

Editor, The Times: Men are
beginning to realize national CO.
operation in exchanging COM
modities would switch off the
depression and flood the land
with prosperity. When money is
boarded, only necessity turns
stock In trade. Momentum Of
necessity is not enough. How
ever, cooperation of citizenry in
exchanging all o m m d tiles
would accelerate business and
create jobs for everyone. Con-
sequently the united power Of
producer and consumer concen-
trated in a national exchange
would tear down the barriers Of
trade and help business men dis
tribute products for consumption
before they piled to outmode or
rot.
During years of depression, a
few men succeed In business
while others go down in bank
ruptcy. Insolvents and idle men
could emulate their superiors'
success and protect themselves
against failure II they would CO.
operate to turn their stock in
trade. Cooperative stock in
trade, by virtue of market value
would establish bank credit and
also draw out boarded money as
a medium of exchange. Then by
gradually listing individual needs
and directing mems energy in
producing these commodities, a
national clearing house could
make the multi-way exchange Of
such products. without loss, for
the benefit of everyone con-
cerned. Thus by helping pro-
ducers and merchants to eco
nomically and expeditiously pro-
duce and distribute TO consum-
ers, business would be stimu-
lated until jobs were created for
everyone.

Couple Of Jewish Folk
Started il
But Turkey Soon Outerew
Modern Thanksgiving
Now Whitfield Down To
Cabinet Kitchen Size
WHETHER you are 100 per
w cent apostle of the New
Deal and will eat your turkey
Thursday, Nov. %. or an ire
concilable fundamentalist and
will restrain your appetite until
the last Thursday in the month,
there are few interesting facts
about the turkey.
II is distinctly erroneous to re-
fer to the turkey as having been
founded on Plymouth Rock like
the Colonial Danes. for instance.
The turkey is a Spanish bird,
whose habitat was Mexico until
couple of Jewish merchants
loaded some of them on a trad
ing vessel and distributed them
among the gentlemen farmers
who had ventured to America a
hundred years before the Pill
grims ever heard of Plymouth
Rock. In the course of time
some of them wandered away
from the Virginia farms, return
ed TO their wild state and grad
ually worked up toward Boston
harbor.
That was n good thing for
the Pilgrims. for many n pot
would have gone empty had
IL not been for the turkey
knocked out Of a tree by
blast from blunderbus.

Thanksgiving became a fam
lily affair with all the relatives
for miles around seated at one
table. That created a demand
for large turkeys, and soon
American breeders were put
ting rs to 30 pounds of meat on
a frame that originally carried
only about a quarter of that
weight.
To some of the older genera
ton there never has been any,
thing quite so stimulating to
the appetite as the sight of a
great turkey, done to a turn,
being lifted out of the oven of
the old wood range. The flavor
of the great turkey as well as
the associations were pleasant
memories through the months
to come.

But times have changed. The
big family dinner is not quite
the function that it once was.
Families scattered too far. It
is no longer convenient for all
the cousins and aunts and
uncles, or even all the children
to come in for Thanksgiving
dinner.

In the meantime, turkeys have
gone on getting bigger and more
expensive until the housewife
has had to call for help. Not
only is the Thanksgiving group
smaller. but there has been a
revolutionary change in kitchen
equipment.
In the cabinet kitchen there
is no room for the old range
