Use salad oil for lubricating

Wash the chopper in hot water

Clothes Wear Longer

At Manhattan your clothes are
placed in strong Net Bags while

protect even your daintiest

Is Finland a Good Risk?

There seems to be some difference of opinion how

Practically everyone comedies that any money lent to
the stawat little republic will be repaid-f Finland wins
its with Russia II it doesn't there won't be any Fin

So the question the United States government and
private bankers are trying to answer now is simply, viii

Finland good risk but he is willing to concede
that the question must be reapprased from day to day.
New York bankers realists in the world of finance,

Wan countries could scarcely be considered in terms of
sound banking investment under present circumstances
Mr. Jones appeared before the house banking and
rency committee recently to support the Finnish aid BILL
which would authorize extension of loans from 100000
900 to 900 for the ExporImport bank Primary
objective of the bill is to grant Finland additional loan
of $50 900 with similar earmarked for China

CONGRATULATIONS

Editor, The Times: I wish to
congratulate the management of
The Times Publishing company
for getting out one of the finest
special editions of any news
paper ever printed In this part
of the country. 1t contains a
mass OF information that should
be interesting to people all over
the Northwest, and the people
of Tacoma should mail copies to
their friends all over the United
States. This will give Tacoma
advertising that is very badly
needed and may help to bring a
lot of good citizens out this way.
also wish To congratulate
you on giving very true story
of the Narrows bridge. how the
fight was started and continued
until the present time. / have
a scrap book of clippings from
newspapers which is a very COM
plete history of the bridge and
your story that is published in
the special edition is very true
To the clippings which I have on
file. With your permission I
would like 10 make one little
correction of name.
You mentioned in 1928 the
Federated Improvement club APP
pointed a committee OF A. E.
wykes and Bruce Robbins; it
should have read A. b. Sykes
and Bruce Robbins.
Mr.. Sykes and myself con-
tinued the fight representing the
Federation OF Clubs. and holding
memberships on committees of
other organizations that were
fighting for the bridge right up
to the present time and are
happy To know that what was
once a dream is now a reality.
Hoping your paper continues
TO grow and prosper in the new
location.

HOROSCOPE

Although benefic aspects gov
ern labor there may be news
that affect workers relations to
their employers. Union leaders
will continue TO be at odds under
this sway. The Moon today
enters Capricorn. a sign repre-
senting the dark side of the
Earth. the occult side OF history.
There is a sign presaging change
or transition.
Heart and Home: Routine
matters should absorb attention
today. In the family the value
of self-discipline should be re-
membered. Young folk may be
inclined to follow their own ideas
of independence. but the stars
forecast for them hard school
OF experience. The stars presage
for next year severe tests due
to economic conditions that will
limit quests for pleasure and
demands for luxuries.
Business Affairs; Trade and
commerce will continue profit
able In the United States where
new fortunes are in the making.
Warning Is given that greed and
speculation will tempt many
toward dangerous ventures. Re-
tail merchants should profit
through generous shopping by
women who foresee the rise OF
prices for fine attire and inn
ported Injuries.
National Issues: Because the
American public Is better in
formed on public questions than
at any previous time of ma
tional election, old time cam
paign methods will fail to gain
votes and in the wilderness of
voters many voices will be heard
crying for benefits and reforms.
Promises without assurance that
they will be fulfilled will fail in
acceptance.
International Affairs: South
American countries are to offer
serious trade problems TO the
United States. Mexico will focus
much interest in the change of
government which may affect
relations with this country.
Commerce will grow, although
there will be numerous changes
in the nations TO which Amer
lean products are sold.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury OF a year OF
interesting experiences. For the
young romance is indicated.
Caution 10 urged in choosing
friends.
Children born on this day may
be self-indulgent and exceeding
~ fond Of Injuries. They are
likely TO be talented as authors
or journalists.
