Cure for Insomnia
Cleveland Plain Dealer)


 Are you sleeping well these nights Gentle Reader, these first nights of autumn when the bed chamber is cool the light blanket grateful, and everything conspires to sound and dreamless slumber?
 Or do you find your sleep ftful punctuated with dreams of the end of the world? And when occasionally you swim up to consciousness, in the darkened room, do you remember that black and heavy thought. that fearful foreboding of the day of wrath, which you took to bed with you that nightmare of the complete destruction of England, and the consequent bloody years which must nev- tably descend upon America?
 Do you perchance start up in the black dark and wonder whether the sixth, seventh, eighth or 18th air raid of the last 24 hours is devastating Lon don-hurling the populating out of beds just like yours, bleeding, mutated dying?
 Do you hear the cries of the children and the old people?
 Do you remember that by and large, making allowance for their attachment to what strikes us outworn sentimentality called royalty, they have run next to America the most truly demo- cratic country on earth?
 If you suffer from any of this malase, we can offer you surcease. All you have to do is to stop being patriotic citizens of a democracy and by sedulous self transformation, turn yourselves into any of several of the categories of peope-such as
 First-Pacifists. They don't think anything is worth fighting for, except with the mouth In the actual world of today they moral eunuchS and generally discarded useless human material by those of generous instinct or

HOROSCOPE E "The stars incline
 bat do not compe"
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26

Adverse planetary aspects dom mate until late today. It is time to avoid all risks, financial, politi- cal, and social The evening is promising for meetings at. which public questions are discussed.
 Heart and Home: Women are subject to depressing planetary in- fluences today. They should put aside apprehension regarding the future by assuming courageous ac- ceptance of changes that effect American life. Men, young and old, will be required for service iri defense of the nation for more than temporary enlistments. The stars presage necessarily prolonged wearing of uniforms of the Army, Navy and aviation. It is impera- tive to put democracy's stamp upon widespread regimentation.
 Business Affairs: Temptation to speculate should be ignored, for there will be many stock fluctua- tions and rapid-fire industries that promise quick fortunes. In the pursuit of the usual branches Of business and industry there should be fair profits, for government spending will reach new volume and support prosperity. Inventors will contribute important mechanical devices that help national defense.
 National Issues: Candidates for Congress are to leap many hurdles in the race for Washington Dis appointments for longtime office holders are prognosticated. Records of statesmen will be liabilities rather than assets in many cases. Those who have retarded defense prepar- ationS are under sinister portentS. In the radio war of words those who speak oftenest may lose most votes.
 International Affairs: Anxiety in the Philippines will be increased as Japan continues aggressive policies. Activity of United States warships will be extensive in the Orient where island possessions will at tract attention. Greed for great re- sources will spur ambitions to de- prive Great Britain of many colo nies. A deliberate act, provocative of resentment in Washington, is prognosticated within short time.
 Persons whose birthdate it is will have a year of successful work that promotes ambitious plans. Women will enjoy many pleasant surprises.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be keen in mind and pos sessed of varied talents. They may cause opposition because of their determined or stubborn pursuit of their ambitions.

RUSsIA'S PREDICAMENT

Most U. S. diplomats register sad istic glee at the tight spot in whicl | Russia finds herself as result of 1itler's move into Rumania. How
 ight that spot is can be gathered f you remember that for years,
 inder both Car and Stalin, it has been Russia's policy never to let anyone but a weak Turkey control 2the Dardanelles-for fear an enc my might come through to the Black Sea.
 l. But nod-Germany already is on the shores of the Black Sea. With out even going through the Dar- danelles the Nazis are in a strategic place to launch submarine attacks on Soviet shipping. In fact, sub marines already are reported on railroad flat cars en route through Rumania.
 The Russians also are up against the fact that resistance against Hitler in Rumania means war all along their 1.700 miles of western border, from Finland and the Arc tic to Bulgaria and the Black Sea. This far-flung line would be tough job to defend against Hitler's war machine, despite the size of the Red Army 4A@
