THURSDAY, JUNE q

Adverse planetary aspects are
strong today. There may be a
sense of fear and depression
which should be overcome by
work that distracts attention
from world affairs. Labor troub-
les again will retard industry.
Heart and Home: Under this
rule of the stars the family may
be difficult to manage. Restless
ness is likely to be prevalent
among the young. AS COM
mencement days focus interest,
employment should be planned
for the summer. Military train
ing will be important and avia-
ton will claim many young men.
Women should prepare for a
summer made memorable by the
social affairs that belong to a
nation at peace. This is time
TO assure happy memories for
the future.
Business Affairs: Unusual
trade conditions will multiply as
international agreements are
forgotten. but the stars presage
brisk business through the sum-
mer, although effects of the war
in Europe will be felt in this
country, neutrality problems
hampering certain industries.
Transportation organic atoms
will profit as travel lures win
summer tourists. Aviation will
gain in patronage.
National Issues: Suspicion re-
garding motives which govern
the major political parties will
be widely disseminated by SUBJ
versive influences. The culmina-
ton of Saturn and Jupiter in
August is favorable for Wash
ington and the federal govern
ment. While important changes
in government affairs are pre-
saged there is likely to be a
continuance in office of leading
statesmen.
International Affairs: Accord
ing to noted sstrologers. the
Panama Canal is 10 require pro-
lection or even defense against
hostile powers. The United
States navy may have chance
to prove it's splendid efficiency
in several places. A dangerous
and sensitive condition OF af-
fairs" is foretold for this great
est of democracies. Secret data
acquired from Americans abroad
will now prove Of great value.
Persons whose birthdate il is
have the augury OF advancement.
Travel and change are indicated
for both men and women. Public
service viii engage many.
Children born on this day
probably will be original and
ingenious in their mental pro-
cesses. Many artistic folk be-
long to this sign.

Mr.. Fixit: I would like 10
know how 10 wax roses and 9TH
or flowers. MRS. Rem II.
Take freshly-cut flowers, with
out any moisture on them. and
dip them in melted parafin.
Have the psrafin only hot
enough to maintain a liquid
state. Move the flower about
in the liquid wax so all parts
will be coated and then place
TO cool and solidify in a natural
position.
Mr.. Fixit: Could you tell me
in what parts near Los Angeles
are there fur farms and what
kinds of furse SUBSCRIBER.
Most OF the native animals
in the Los Angeles area wore
scales instead of furs for stan
dard equipment, but there are
now many fox farms In the area
and a half dozen within the L. A.
city limits. The National Fox
and Fur association lists them
in a booklet on file in the refer
ence department of the Tacoma
library.

II. The turtle measures seven
inches by six inches.
MRS. &. j. G.
Just let him wander around
the house. A similar turtle Mr..
Fixit met appeared to hate water
worse than a cat. For food just
try him on small bits of ham,
burger, cheese, insects or vege-
tables until you find what he
likes. Turtles can go long
time without eating, so you
should have plenty of time to
experiment.
Mr.. Fixit: Could you tell me
where boy of Is can get odd
jobs or work during the sum-
mers H. +.
We suggest the boy consider
the berry fields in the Puyallup
valley. An interviewer at the
state employment service office,

give him some suggestions.

is similar TO the liquid-cooled

The British move also reveals

Western delegations to the Re-
publican National Convention
will show up at Philadelphia in a
skeptieal and trading mood. A
canvass of the men and women
already chosen as delegates re-
veals that they are more anxious
to be in the winners corner this
time than for many years in the
past.
This anxiety arises from their
feeling that nobody has yet
sewed up the nomination. and so
they must do some shopping
around before they find the right
article. At first they took kindly
to Thomas f. Dewey. but the
latest phase of the war appears
to have darkened and dampened
his chances. Senator Vanden-
berg's primary defeats have def
nitely lowered his stock. At the
moment they are giving more
thought to Senator Taft than
they did originally.
Among the dark horses"
their favorites appear TO be
Wendell WHlkie and Governor
John ". Bricker of Ohio. Rough
ly, however, their sentiment is
so uncrystalized though
the convention is only few
weeks off-that a few strong
politicos with purpose and de-
termination - back-room bows
with a cache of money and argu-
ments and promises - may be
able to Dragon the nomination
for their hero.
