and their little band as they
stood up in the senate in 1917
and faced the storm wind and
the tempest in a vain effort to
keep us out Of the first World
war. stesdfastly shielding the
last spark Of reason and eonvic-
ton against all-engulfing hys-
terra.
America means a less spec
tacular kind Of courage, too.
II means a less spectacular kind
Of courage that sent a Jane
Adams into the slums Of Chi
cago To establish Hull House as
model for 80 many projects
that are making concrete the
hopes Of the Bill Of Rights.
More important than anything
else. perhaps. America means
high sense Of justice, scrupulous
respect for the rights Of ALL even
the most unpopular minorities.
America, of course, is Holmes,
and Brandeis, and Cardozo, the
judges. shaping the law to the
will of the people. 1t is also
Brandeis, the advocate, pleading
for decent working conditions for
the women of Oregon and WASH

surance system to assure the
workers of Massachusetts, the
secure enjoyment of the fruits
of their toll in the twilight of
their years.
America, too, is the educators

knowledge is power, and that in

1t is the employer who cheer

good citizen who makes an hon.

an intelligent ballot each election
day.
There is no need to call the
roll longer. America is all those
who know how to make democ-
racy work, all those who know
that their duty is to do the task
at hand.
This America is more than
flag.
1t would he great without any
banner or anthem or slogan.
And no mere salute to a bit Of
bunting, no more singing of a
song, Is sufficient to make any
man a part of this America.
Patriotism is in the deed, not in

HOROSCOPE
WEDNESDAY,, JULY 10


Adverse aspects appear to
dominate this day Of mixed plan
etary aspects. The morning
hours are fortunate for persons
in authority who may be able to
win the support or acquiescence
of persons whose favor they de-
sire. 1t is promising for CAM
paigners in political fields.
Heart and Home; There may
be a tendency toward faultfind-
ing among members of a family
today. The stars encourage
secrecy and II Is not wise to
ask questions under this config-
uration. Although 1t is a lucky
day for girls to meet new ac-
quaintances of the opposite sex.
there Is little promise of ro-
nance in the influence Of the
stars. 1t is not an suspicious
date for those who wish to be
outspoken in their views, for
there will be much discrimination
and deceit in dealing with public
issues.
Business Affairs: The stock
market will fluctuate sharply.
but commerce and trade will
hold up as the midsummer
passes. Labor troubles will be
sporadic, serious only where
moot questions affecting rival
organizations come to desperate
contests for power. Industry
continues under good influences.
In manufacturing distric is.
plants will be put in the best Of
condition with machinery easily
convertible to government uses.
National Issues: Despite inten-
sive work by political leaders
who represent conservative poll
cies the stars appear to smile
upon the party in power. Con-
fidence in experienced statesmen
will be evident in contests for
office in all parts of the country
and will be expressed at the polls
in the fall. astrologers forecast.
International Affairs: Thor
oughness Of training and a high
degree Of mechanical skill will
continue to be demonstrated by
German naval and military
forces. Reverses are TO be suf-
fered again and again by the
allies who will encounter diff
culties of extraordinary charac-
ter due TO secret pacts and
treacherous diplomacy. Loss OF
life will arouse sympathy for the
allies and will imperil the peace
Of the United States, II il fore
told.
Persons whose birthdate II Is
have the augury Of a year of
good fortune. Loss Of relatives
will be responsible for inheri-
tances for a number of women.
Children born on this day
probably will be highly intelli-
gent and attractive in person
ality. They may be tactful
kindly and intuitive. but they
are inclined to be vain.

GERMAN INVASION
Editor. The Times: In recent
issue of a popular magazine
Pierre Van Passen writes a very
enlightening bit of information
concerning Hitler's plans for
Greater Germany. when and If
she wins the war. Each and
every country to fall before Hit
ler's war machine will be used
for the sole purpose of world
conquest; that is, the contribu-
ton of materials characteristic
Of that certain state.
Our America, the richest land
on earth. will not be overlooked
by Hitler. BY enforcing the
Monroe Doctrine. we can best
prevent an invasion. This last
minute armament progra am
should have been started years
ago, even before the threat of
war became imminent. II should
have begun with the founding
of the CCC corps. Millions of
young men could have received
preliminary military training
which would have put us years
ahead of the present defense
program.
Our sending aid TO Britain is
another mistake. However. we
all feel we should try and re-
lieve the suffering of a country
facing such a ruthless foe as
Hitler. Despite this feeling. our
contributions are holding up our
own defense program. In view
Of Hitler's determination and the
success of his past "blitzkriegs."

be inevitable.
BY upholding the Monroe
Doctrine, we can repel any
thrust made. 1t is essential for
any power intending to invade
on this continent to first secure
a foothold in some small coun-
try such as those IN South
America. The Panama canal,
undoubtedly the first objective,
is safe until Hitler really gets
into the Latin countries. then
I'm sure We would all wake up
and do some serious thinking.
How many years will IT take
