MONDAY, APRIL 24, 1939
 Contrary planetary aspects are seen in the horoscope for today, &C., cording to astrology The configura- tion apparently favors persons of power.
 Women are under unfavorable guidance today which should be em- ployed in regular tasks long tested It is an unfortunate time to seek work. Both business and profes- sional executives may be difficult Ito convince.
 Broken engagements to marry may be numerous under this. sway which makes young men wary of responsibility and eager for adven- ture
 Uranus is in a place supposed to be disturbing to mental poise. Dis position to find fault will be gen eral and criticism will be widely broadcast. Legislators come under threatening portents. Alarming news of a secret nature regarding international affairs may be expected at this time.
 Many accidents on sea and in the air are prognosticated. Warning is given of sabotage. As spring advances a widespread recognition that new order of things has gained momentum is prognosticated. Oldtime leaders will be few in this changed world. What has been called civilization will prove of little worth in Europe be- fore the sweep of subversive forces. Deaths and retirements of men and women long in the public eye will be numerous before the au- tumn. Young persons of both sexes are to gain fame in public work
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of good luck, but envy may be aroused. It is wise to be on guard against deception. Girls should be cautious in writing let | ters.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be talented but of a happy -go-lucky disposition. These subjects of Taurus are determined and energetic when they have any special goal in sight.

Sabal Palmetto
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Many, many travellers have been
introduced of late years to the cab
bage tree" as this palmetto is
called. They are fond of its tropi-
cal appearance, yet have found
few who really know that this tree
that keeps its boots on" is treas
ure house if they take the trouble or
pleasure to do q little research on
their own.
The northern boundary of this
tree Is south of Cape Hatteras.
From this point you will find the
palmetto growing close to Atlantic
breezes, and as you get farther
south the higher and more abund-
ant are these trees. From Florida
to the Gulf Of Mexico, where frosts
are seldom experienced and there is
sunshine most Of the time, the pal
metto proceeds to do its level best
for any who may see fit to take
advantage of its stores.
Sabals or cabbage palmettos do
not reach height of over so feet.
They bear at their crown fanlike
leaves that are often 6 feet long.
When the wind rustles through
them, you are sure a sudden shower
has descended upon you. The saw
edges become at times almost
musical.
The barricaded effect on the trunk
Is the remainder of the old leaves.
AS the tree grows. the lower leaves
drop away and the stubs are strong
spikes that may be scaled like a
stairway in order to reach the top
OF the tree. Some one, seeing this
for the first time, made the remark,
why the tree still has its boots on"
Like so many other expressions and
names for natures children this
has been repeated over and over
again. AS the tree grows older the
lower stubs drop of from decay.
They are handy places for water to
gather.
Let us note the highest honor be-
slowed upon the babal and work
from this point. 1t graces the great
seal OF South Carolina, for it played
most important part in the his
tory of this State.
Hundreds Of thousands of trees
have been used for piling. The
tree not only resists the effect of
water to high degree, but 1t does
not appeal to marine borers. When

A man with a new speedboat de-

the country was new and lumber
rather scarce, palmetto logs were
used for log houses and buildings,
water troughs, conduits, bridges and
foundations. Millions of trees had
to be cut for this supply and at one
time some one remarked that we
would not have one left. That was
in 1900, yet recent trip to the pal
mettos' territory shows this tree is
calamity holding its own and more.

WHEN ONE ROOM is
DIFFICULT To HEAT!
CLEANING OUT WARM AIR
DUCT OR REGISTER MAY BE
3s 'eo THE REMEDY s'Asr q

Are you grumbling this winter
because there's one room in the
house that you just cant HEATH
Usually it's a bedroom; but 1t may
be the dining room or even the liv7
ing room. And to heat rooms lika
that, you either have to keep all
the rest of the house uncomforta-
bly, hot, or resign yourself to hav-
ing one room that feels like a
cold storage box.
If you have this problem, don't
blame the architect, don't vow to
give up an otherwise comfortable
home. Your heating plant may on
ly need some simple adjustment
to gvie complete satisfaction.
First, make a careful examina-
ton of the warm air duct, or stack
and register of the room in queS-
alton. If necessary call in a heating
contractor to look it over If the
rest of the house is warm, that
indicates at least that as designed
and built, the heating system was
adequate; SO the chances are some
thing has gone wrong since. Per-
haps there is a loose connection
or a portion of the duct has. slipped
down or sidewise, letting the heat
that was intended for the room
pass up inside the wall. You may
BIO able to trace trouble of this
sort by feeling of the walls and
locating spots where they are
warmer than they should be.
Often the register connection has
slipped just enough to spoil the
warm air flow; or dirt, fluff or
even more serious distractions
have clogged the duct. Children
have been known to poke pieces
of cloth Of paper into registers and
cut off the rooms heat supply.
Look over the windows toogM Make
sure they fit tightly and that there
is adequate snug weather strip
ping. Installing a modern storm
window often works wonders
Double windows and storm doors
sometimes save as much as 20 per
cent of fuel bill. Look around the
Dashboard for cracks through which

is going to be no simple matter.
For the congress seems to be bit
terly divided over what our policy
should be. And it is not in any
sense a partisan division-politics
plays little or no part in it.
81 On the other hand are those who
believe sincerely that in a sense
that we are our brothers keeper
that, as the only great democracy
immune from immediate attack by
a powerful totalitarian state, it is
to us to throw the weight of our
influence and resources behind the
menaced democracies. These men
I see the world as a great battle
ground in which an u~ndeclared war
without quarter Is taking place
between fascism and democracy.
The cause of democracy in Europe
they reason, will soon be lost I'M
less helped by the New World de-
mocracy. And if that happens, they
argue, we will be next in line for
fascist aggression. So, they con-
clude the thing to do is to help
the Old World democracies stave
off fascism before it is too late.
The other school believes with
equal sincerity in rigorous isola
ton. That means a policy of treat
ing all countries, democratic or
totalitarian, with equal c%onsidera-
ton. They feel we must build up
an adequate defensive military ma
chine, and keep our resources for
our own use. they argue, to pull
any country's fat out of the fire.
And, they conclude. if we insist on
aiding the other democracies with
moral suasion and giving them ac-
koess to our factories and resources,
lit will eventually mean that we will
have to aid them with our army
and navy. President Wilson's refu-
sal to be neutral, they think. and
his obvious bias toward the aMll..s,
was responsible for bringing Is III
necessarily into the World Wa.
This illustrates the two msyor
exertmes of thought There are, of
course, many more moderate
groups which favor a modified eu-
trality-or a modified information
alism.
No one can answer the question
of which side will win. Mr.. Roose-
| welt it is believed. feels that
neutrality must be somewhat re-
Taxed. On the other hand, there is
a strong and determined group
in Congress, led by Senator Borah,
which is determined to resist to
the end, and Administration effort
to actively aid the European demo-
eracies. At this writing, it looks.
like a stalemate is in prospect over
foreign policy.
