the pimply trouble mentioned

highly recommended. And then

The Ointment acts as an antisep-

A Principle Rejected
Cincinnati Enquirer

Fritz Kuhn Fuehrer of the German American Bund, has been found guilty of grand larceny and orgery. It is noteworthy that his victims were not opponents of Nazism but his own followers. This of interest because it parallels neatly the pat lern of exploitation in Germany, where Nazism prevails.
 The trial turned largely, not wholly, on the question of the leader principle, doctrine of Naz- sm by which fuehrer or leader has absolute au- 5hority, including authority to spend party funds as he chooses. The jury in the Kuhn case had to decide, among other things, whether the Bunds- uehrer's personal of Bund money was larceny.
 other words, should the jury recognize the validity f the leader principle not.
 In the end it determined not to do so and therefore Kuhn's expenditures of Bund money for entimental ends in violation of the law.
 In other words American jury has decided hat the leader principle" in this country is one of leaders responsibility not merely his authority
 leader in the United States, whether called fue- hrer not, has responsibility to those below him IS well authority them-and their funds
 Apart from this the is significant only in 2 political way. The conviction of Kuhn cannot fail to dscredit further a movement already dis credited in the eyes of virtually all Americans, in- cluding virtually all naturaIized Americans The Bund, having been subverted to the purposes of Nazi propaganda, had nothing to offer Americans Today it is shown to have been subverted also to the of dishonest leader. That does not raise it's standing

Why Russia Broke
(New York Timesl

(New York Times)
 T. H Thomas in The Atlantic Monthly is skepti- cal about the aid and comfort which Hitler may expect from Russia in the way of food and raw materials. In this respect he is like a good many other writers the subject, but he lays stress on single element in the situation which seldom comes to the forefront This is transportation MT. Thomas, with an expert background going back to the World War tells the story of Russian breakdown in terms of railway collapse
 Transport failure MT Thomas argues brought Russia to her knees in 1917 In so doing he is aware that he counter to the accepted conclusion" that exhaustion in 1917 took Russia out of the war the drying up of the supply of men, munitions and food All of have the poignant picture of Rus sian soldiers without rifles, ill fed ill clad charging the enemy batteries with their bare hands
 That is not the picture of Russian Army condi- tions in early 1917 drawn by General Knox, British military attache in Russia from 1911 to the end of the and described by MT. Thomas as the best observer of the Russian military effort. By almost any test in General Knoxs opinion, the army was stronger better armed and better supplied than at any time before Against 115 infantry divsons at the front at the beginning of the Russia had 240 divisions on March l. 1917 with 5000 three-inch guns and 15000000 shells and more than l500O machine guns Actually, says MT Thomas, the Ger man command at the end of 1916 had despaired of driving the Russian Army out of the war.
 The thing that put Russia out of the war in 1917 was not exhaustion but confusion; in brief, transport failure. The railways broke down under he war strain. They broke down a dozen years earlier in the Japanese war. They are now in poor state, in MT. Thomass judgment, as the result of Stalin's industrial and governmental policies. In single year after 1880 there were 62,000 railway accidents involving the wreck of 1000 locomotives one-third of the whole number, and 65,OOO freight cars.
 With tools such this" says MT. Thomas, lis Stalin about to sweep forward the ruins of oi,,l ba ,,irt different question Even remaining in state of peace, how long can the Soviet State stand the additional strains of having to live in a surround ing world at war?

I
 While benefic planetary aspects dominate today, adverse influences are also active. The planet ruling dictators conveys evil portentss that seem to presage treachery andf un- expected acts of hostility toward neutrals. Conflict of ideas ass well as of military aims are prognosti- cated. The evening will be favor able to leaders of the people, but threatening to persons who wield power in finance or government.
 Heart and Home: Women come under an especially good direction of the stars today which is auspic- ious for holiday preparations, shop ping and entertaining. Although good feeling will be prevalent among persons of all classes a sense of impending changes in the new year will cloud peoples minds.
 Business Affairs: There will be prosperous first month of the year in various lines of trade. Prices of food and staples will rise as the war in Europe begins to be felt, but American merchants and manufac- turers will continue optimistic. Far mers will profit. New houses will be in demand and marriages increase 1 in number. Villages and small towns should benefit from a trend to seek residences away from crowded cit ies.
 National Issues: Reforms in Fed eral government departments Will be demanded as taxes become more burdensome with the need for ex- tending relief efforts. As third term for the President is advocat- ed, the policy of only one term of six years will gain ardent sup porters.
 International Affairs In Great Britain heavy speculation and many promotion schemes will be launched, since Neptune influences the house of government and business. The Irish question may cause added anx- ieties. Secret enemies will be busy and there is danger of sabotage in London. Financial stress will in crease for Germany, although busi- ness affairs will be improved
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of happiness. Love will illuminate many a life and marriages among the middle aged will be numerous.
 Children born on this day may be high-strung and rather frail. They should prove talented in ar tistic lines Careful education is enjoined, for they may have great | talents.

IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

The finest essence of the Christmas spirit is captured in cheerful little sckers sold each yule tide to finance the fgnt against tuberculosis in Alaska and throughout the Nation. Juneau's supply has been distributed and the dollars rolling in to local officers of the Alaska Tuberculosis As sociation.
 No Christmas package should be considered com plete, however splendidly wrapped unless it is adorned with profIsion of the little Christina seals. They signify an unselfishness of giving, & spirit which would give health-the grandest gift Of alto stricken stranger More ornate Christ mas package decorations can be purchased but none SC thoroughlv in keeping with the selfless spirit which should mark the gladdeSt day of the year.
 The picturesque custom of using Christmas seal dates over third of a century From it has flowed the funds to stage winning fight against tubercu- losis It has provided local and national organza- tions the money necessary to support clinics nurs- ing service, preventoria and research work The donated pennies represented by the cherful little seals have had much to do with the gains made against the dreaded disease and have combatted physical tragedy on a wide front.
 We know tie cause of tuberculosis and we know how to control 1t. But money is needed to put this knowledge to work. It predicted that with a cer- tain expenditure for the disqualification of tubercu- loSs in the United States six years of intensive effort would eradicate the dread disease. The appeal Ter the means to carry the against this

particular enemy of mankind is made in the tainty of complete victory based upon the contri- buttons made at the season of Christmas seals Every otter package should carry these symbols of cheer, passing from to another in the exchanges of affection and goodwill.
 In the than 30 years since the first sale of the seals u9OD the death rate from this disease has been reduced by nearly two-thirds. But it is still the leading of death in this country between the ages of Is and 45 The fight must go Back of it all have been the researches that have given promise of victory. This year emphasis has been put upon the protection of the home We can best help at the moment by purchase of the seals that should be welcomed in home and office.

SUNDAY. DECEMBER IT

Adverse aspects dominate today. The configuration encourages rest lessness and irritability. It is an unfavorable sway for domestic har- mony. Quarrels may be easily start ed. Women, weary from holiday preparations may be difficult and unreasonable. It is not favorable rule for love affairs. Jealousy is common under this configuration. i The clergy may find that preach ing falls upon deaf ears.
 Heart and Home: Women are subject to disturbing influences which cause them to be exacting and faultfinding. They should re- strain the impulse to speak hastily or to utter criticisms. Aged persons may be subject to depression that causes them to look backward with | regret for youth and it's joys. Help in household tasks may be difficult to obtain.
 Business Affairs: Charitable and philanthropic projects encounter dlt- faculties as needs multiply during inc winter. Generous contributions will be required, despite the nu- merous forms of government aid. Red Cross work will expand to un- usual proportions.
 National Issues: Agitation con- corning the management of penal institutions will arouse public con- cern as crimes increase throughout the winter. Sweeping reforms will be advocated. Favoritism toward men who have been guilty of em- bezzlement will be uncovered In western states. Cities will discover that organized vice continues to take heavy toll under many disguis- es bearing business labels.
 International Affairs: There is threatening portent for financial affairs in many foreign coutries. The Far East will focus attetion. The planets forecast deviations from long established methods of dealing with banks and banking. Congress will discuss applications for loans made by European nations. In- creased governmental spending will be imperative in Washington, D. c.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of happiness and good fortune. Changes should be avoided Romance is presaged for the young.
 Children born on this day may be exceedingly sensitive and intuitive. Kindly and helpful to all whom they meet, these boys and girls may lack aggressiveness, but most of them will gain success rather late in life.
