Horoscobe
The stars incline
but do -oi compel"

This should be a fairly lucky
day. Women are subject to benefic
, aspects which incline them TOWARD
philanthropic work. The stars
stimulate constructive enterprises
but there may be envious criticism
of ambitious projects.
Heart and Home: Increased ap-
probation of the American home
with its many Injuries is forecast
Women today will find Joy in con-
tributing to the comfort Of Their
families. The domestic arts VIII be
popular in the home circle. There
is a sign presaging the wearing OF
uniforms by women as well as men
Business Affairs: The stars fore
cast generous support to- business
by banks as trade offers profits in
new ventures. Cooperative expert
ments will receive financial aid
The desire to work will permeate
even the army of relief recipients.
Old age pensions and social secur-
ity will contribute to the we'll
being of many Americans
National Issues: Care of neg
lected children will engage public
attention as crimes against them
are reported on the increase. A
statesman will befriend INDECENT
boys and girls, emphasizing their
potential value to the nation. Eff
forts to provide practical education
will be extended in many states.
International Affairs: The stars
appear to presage little progress in
peace negotiations. T,reachery will
underlie certain representations
calculated to provide an armistice.
Only an armed peace can be at
tanned as long as dictators are in
possession of power, the seers de-
clare. Unless conflict is ended be-
fore March, there will be a long
drawn-out war, it is prognosticated.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of, in
creased financial resources, Specu-
lation or inheritance may add sub
stantially to bank accounts. ,..~
Children born ON this day will
probably be intelligent, refined and
able to win friends They achieve
success through the appreciation Of
audiences. Many musicians and
actors belong to this sign.

Vulnerable Russia
cleveland Plain Dealer

The Russians are finding that weapon they
perfected attacking other countries, propaganda
is being used effectively against them in the war
against Finland. Finnish planes have dropped leaf
lets on Lenngrad They relate the stories of Rus
sian prisoners and are designed to inflame discon
tent b. comparing the lot of prisoner with that
Of a free" civilian under Stains rule. More eff
fective is the fraternizing between the Firms and
the Karelians Of Soviet Russia, closely related to
them racialy who inhabit those parts of the U.SSR
adjacent 10 Finland.
These methods may be as effective as shot and
shell in delaying the Russian conquest Doubt has
crept into the minds of the Russians about the
whole Finnish business They recently showed dis
content with the lack of news from the front
Losses may be concealed for a time, but
brought by wounded soldiers and the failure of
others to come home at all, soon spreads from vii
age to village in underground fashion in coun-
try where the newspapers print only such news as
the government wishes. Reports of this disgrunte-
ment in the foreign press is one reason why Russia
Reconstructed direct censorship of all outgoing news
paper correspondence and all private mail
The Kremlin in past years has made much of
its policy of autonomy for the radical minorities
within its borders That policy has been liberal
only so long the minority accepted the dictates
of Moscow without question. One minority which
dissented in the past was the Karelian. Strenuous
measures were taken against them Thousands were
transported to exile While the situation has out
wardly been calm in those areas resentment has
smoldered Now wherever Finnish troops carry their
raids into Karean territory they find happy well
come from the populace
Thus general discomfort well as Gen. Winter
is helping the Finnish resistance What the Firms
can do in their far northwestern corner to stir up
the people is not likely to affect the bulk of the
population of the USS.R. which stretches through
central ASIA through Siberia to the Japan Sea. But
it does prove to the world that the Soviet Union
is not impregnable from within; that it is not the
paradise to which the workers of the world wish
to flock to escape their capitalstic masters The
Firms have revealed many weak points in Stainlanc
from which the rest of the world profit

which befell Alice.
First came the simple little aspirin and to their

Then cane another white power, magnesium ny
droxide, which when mixed wi tn just the right amount
of water became milk of magnesia, the product
whose virtues extolled daily thru and radio
but whose use, science tells US, should be under
physician IS advice. Better Buyers learned that all
milk of magnesia contains exactly the ingredi

The average liquid non-perspirant turned out to
be solution Of another white powder, aluminium
chloride, and water.
Nujol, that miracle performing commodity ma squer-

MILK PRICES CAN BE KEPT LOW

At the Citizens Association meeting Last Monday
Carnie Harper, head Of the ation's Milk Price
Adjustment Committee, referred In her report
experience Of the Walnut Hill Dairy in loss of bot
ttons.
helping to reduce the general overhead expenses
of any and all datr1es should be a concern Of all
consumers, as obviously, when the firm realizes ad-
ded expenses 1t must the cost back the con-
ser in order that the firm may continue to receive
q reasonable margin Of profit.
Members of the MILK Buying Club, as SUCH have a
double Obligation in this respect. First, as con-
s1ners in general, it Is expected that they along
with all other consumers, will help keep their
dairy's expenses down that the milk price can be
maintained at its present reasonable level. Second
", as club members, they should cooperate to the
fullest extent in this matter as to return the
fair treatment given by the Walnut HILL Dairy with
a recognition Of the dairyman's problems.
The above named dairy reports unreasonable loss
In milk bottle shortages. Some bottles have simply
not turned and others have retrieved from the
waste loads. The answer Is for all buyers to keep
track of their bottles and that they are made
available for pickup and return to the distributor.
The other principal difficulty reported by Mr..
Rogers is the bill collection problem realizes,
OF course, that his customers cannot be expected
remain at home awaiting the collector but would
appreciate it if his customers could help him cut
collection costs by arranging to have next
oors hold the milk bill money for the driver when
the customer expects to be out on collection day.
Greenbelt people, through their milk buying club
activity are doing something of tremendous import
ance. 1t is attracting attention throughout the
country. larger membership in the club will assure
continued success in its work.
If you have not already Joined, sign the pledge
