An Unpleasant Subject
Cincinnati Enquirer

It is pity, of course that all the vast reSer- voirs of inventiveness which have been spent on the problem of destroying life could not have been used otherwise But while and nations are as stupid as they are any given government has a duty to it's people of nurturng the most efficient technics of destruction
 In that light, may properly be grateful to inventor Lester P. Barlow for the perfection of a beautiful new aerial bomb which will kill everything living within radius of 900 feet when it is de- tonated. If the bomb measures up to the in ventors claims, it will provide the United States with weapon far in advance of those now in use in Europe.
 Passing over the unpleasant phases of the aerial bomb which is mans latest device for killing women and children we may infer that the explosive will be of particular value for this country. Our the battle fleet and carrier-borne aircraft. After that our defense lies largely with shore-based air. craft heavy bombers with long cruising ranges.
 This new bomb evidently combines immense destructive power with relatively light weight. The result is to enable bombing planes to carry many more bombs and work greater destruction, or to carry fewer bombs with the same destructive power as before, and thus permit larger fuel load with greater cruising range.
 How wisely the weapon will be used, Ii 1t proves workable, is question Tor the future to answer But if it is used only by the American air force it seems likely to harm few noncombatantS. For we have potential enemies near enough to be within reach of bomberS, save as they ven tllre toward our shores And those who venture will be armed men in ships not families covering in their homes

 but do @ot compel
FRIDAY, MARCH 29

Kindly stars rule today which should be suspicious for many dwellers on the planet Earth. IT the morning women are under benefic aspects. In the late after noon the Moon in Capricorn gives help to those who seek freedom and the protection of liberty.
 Heart and Home: Women are under sway encouraging to in- tellectual activity Interest in the study of the occult is indicated as men of literary and scientific em- thence turn attention to psychic phenomena. The seers warn against charlatans who will gain popular ity by their assumption that they can foretell events. Astrology ia the only science that accurately predicts the future and the relia- bility of interpretations vary, ac- cording to individual readings of the Horoscope.
 II U bankers are under sway presag- ing perplexing problems of inter national finance. Foreign loans will be widely discussed as war moves with momentum that is felt in the United States. Trade and commerce will continue satisfactory in the main with a little slowing down in midsummer Women will find good positions and receive ample salaries in business and profes- sions.
 National Issues: As taxes become burdensome pension agitation will lose support in certain quarters where there was until recently faith in possible good results due to retiring persons long employed in good positions. Decentralization of relief and greater reliance upon community effort to adjust unem- ployment difficulties will be wide ly advocated through the spring and summer.
 International Affairs: If the stars are wisely read increase of perse- cution of the Jews is to mark the policies of dictators who will SOW malicious propaganda in the Unit ed States during the national cam paign There is sign that seems to presage a sensational protest that contributes to the rancor of Hitler.

A PRIM AIRY ALASKA NEED

According to figures released by the Territorial Department of Health, the tuberculosis death rate in Alaska during 1888 was seven times the average of the Nation as a whole The Territory lost 3583 per 100000 as compared to 489 for the country.
 This is a strong argument for building sana- torium in Alaska. Since last November, the Alaska Tuberculosis Association has received more letters commenting on the lack of such facilities than were received in the previous three years.
 There is hope in Alaska that the Territory will have sanatorium soon butt by the Federal Gov ernment At the present time there is pending in Congress a bill, enthusiastically endorsed by the President which provides for the construction of 50 hospitals various sections of the country where the need is greatest One of the sections where the need is very great is Alaska. The hospitals are to be constructed with Federal funds and upon com pletion turned over to responsible local agencies for operation
 The amount of money being spent annually by the Territory for the of tuberculosis sufferers in sanatora in the States would go far toward the maintenance of such institution here and, the necessary expenditures increasing every year. During the l1-month period from April l, 1939 to February % 1940 these outside expenditures for the treatment of tuberculosis 285 percent greater than they during the whole two-year period previous to that time According to the figures of the Territorial Department of Public Welfare during the 35-month period, April l. 1887 to February 29, 1940 PAT percent of their total disqualification costs have been devoted to the treatment of tuberculosis
 No amount of effort by the Alaska Tuberculosis Association by any other group organization can bring about the eradication of tuberculosis un- less adequate facilities for the isolation and treat ment of active of the disease are available and it it toward securing such hospitals that the Association is pointing it's work
 All Alaska should lend it's support to this effort

Activity in the South

 It is a popular misconception that baseball play CTS hibernate Until January some run filling sta- tions go on lecture tours, operate chicken farms or just hold out on their contracts. But after that they travel South. That is where they are now, baskng in Florida training camps at Clearwater, Winter Haven, St. Petersburg Lakeland. There they play only shadow baseball, all in fun, with a little work added for exercise but the shadow is steadily creeping North with spring.
 With a of surprise we realize that the exhibition games about to start We learn that the redoubtable Joe DiMaggio, resolving all painful doubts again takes his place at bat Though many diamond is still covered with the snow, the season is at hand By the middle of next month the bleachers will fill up the umpire will don his mask and large part of the American public will be its noisy self again.
 A real fighting issue lies ahead. Shall the Yan- kees be permitted to establish in this country a permanent baseball dictatorship? Forty million fans demand
